What it's for

Write the notes, run the numbers

An OpenBook page holds a slider and a chart next to the prose, so a note about a budget can also do the arithmetic.

The pages people keep open

Knowledge base

Type @ to link a page. Every heading you write lands in the table of contents.

Lightweight dashboards

Charts read the values your sliders publish. Move a slider and the bars redraw beneath it.

Plans & trackers

Drag a task to Friday on the calendar and the board's due-date column moves with it.

Research notebooks

Keep the method, the numbers and the chart on one page, then export it as one HTML file.

Living models

Where the grocery money goes

Pick a basket and nudge the staples. Every slice of the pie recomputes while you drag.

Hand the page to someone else

Present it to a room, or lock the inputs and let a teammate drive.

Teaching & decks

Add a divider, hit present, and the lecture becomes slides with the demo still running.

Shared tools

Lock a group of blocks and send the page. Teammates move the sliders and read the result.

Fit it to your workflow

Start with a blank page and drop a slider into it. Free and open source.
