What you get
Give your ideas structure and return to the details that matter.
Bike gives you a structured place to work through ideas, research, and project plans, including outlines that grow to hundreds of pages. You can separate main points from supporting material with headings, lists, notes, and quotes, and keep action items alongside your thinking with task lists.
You can make important passages stand out with highlighting and rich text formatting, while keeping code distinct from surrounding notes. Links to individual rows let you connect related points and jump straight to a specific detail rather than scroll through a long outline.
When you need to concentrate, you can dim everything except your current row, keep the line you’re typing centered, or write full screen. Word, character, sentence, and row counts help you keep track of how much you’ve written.
