Organize with Folders and Tags
Create and manage folders
Create a folder
Right-click in the sidebar → New Folder, or press Cmd+Shift+N / Ctrl+Shift+N. Name the folder and press Enter.
Nest folders
Drag a folder onto another folder to nest it. You can create deep hierarchies:

└── Meetings
Rename, move, and delete
- Rename: right-click → Rename, or press

Deleted notes and folders stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Right-click an item to Restore it or Delete Permanently. Folder structure is preserved on restore.

Duplicate notes
- In-place: right-click → Duplicate — creates a copy in the same folder

Use tags
Add tags
Type #tagname anywhere in a note. Tags support letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens (e.g., #work-in-progress). An autocomplete dropdown shows existing tags when you type #.
Filter by tags
The Tag Panel shows all tags with note counts. Click a tag to filter — tags cycle through three states:
| State | Appearance | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral | Gray | No filter |
| Include | Blue (+) | Show only notes WITH this tag |
| Exclude | Red (−) | Hide notes WITH this tag |
Multiple include tags use AND logic (notes must have all). Multiple exclude tags: notes must have none. You can mix include and exclude filters.
Link notes together
Create a link
Type [[ in the editor. Autocomplete shows matching notes — select one to insert a clickable link.
Link to a heading
After selecting a note in [[ autocomplete, the dropdown shows that note’s headings. Select one to link directly to that section.
Link to a heading in the current note
Type [[# to see headings in the current note — useful for building a table of contents.
Follow links
- Click a link to navigate to that note
- Double-click to open in a new window
- Broken links appear in red; broken heading links in orange
Pin notes
Right-click a note → Pin to keep it at the top of the note list. Pinned notes stay grouped together. Unpin with right-click → Unpin.
