Organisation
Notes live in a hierarchical folder structure. You can create folders inside folders to whatever depth makes sense for how you work. Individual notes sit inside those folders. Pinning keeps a note at the top of the notes view. Useful for anything you reach for constantly. Notes you don’t need day-to-day can be archived instead of deleted; the folder view shows an archived count so nothing is hidden from you.Creating and Editing
Create a new note from the menu. A note’s title comes from its first line, so whatever you write first becomes the title, no separate naming step required. Changes save automatically as you write; a Saved indicator appears briefly to confirm each save. The editor remembers your cursor position, so when you come back to a note it’s exactly where you left off.Formatting
Notes use rich text. Formatting is applied to whatever text you have selected.Note Actions
From the context menu (long-press a note in the list) or the toolbar menu when viewing a note, you can:- Pin / Unpin: keeps the note at the top of the notes view
- Move: reassign the note to a different folder
- Copy Text: copies the note content to your clipboard
- Share Text: opens the system share sheet with the note content
- Download: exports the note as a plain text file
- Archive / Unarchive: moves the note out of your main view without deleting it
- Delete: permanently removes the note after a confirmation prompt
Scratchpad
The Scratchpad is a special note that’s always one tap away, from any view in the app. It’s designed for quick captures, the kind of thing you want to get down before you lose it. It auto-saves with a short delay so you can type and move on without thinking about it.Widgets
Pinned notes appear in sideBar’s Pinned Notes home screen widget, giving you quick access without opening the app. If you have not pinned any notes yet, the widget shows your most recent notes so it never stays empty just because nothing is pinned. See Widgets & Extensions to set it up.Keyboard Shortcuts
