+** Deft
+
+#+begin_quote
+Deft is an Emacs mode for quickly browsing, filtering, and editing
+directories of plain text notes, inspired by Notational Velocity. It
+was designed for increased productivity when writing and taking notes
+by making it fast and simple to find the right file at the right time
+and by automating many of the usual tasks such as creating new files
+and saving files.
+#+end_quote
+
+I use =Deft= to organize my =Zettelkasten=. It contains many single
+files about various topics. =Deft= handles searching and file
+creation.
