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:

Work
├── Projects
│   ├── Project A
│   └── Project B
└── Meetings

Rename, move, and delete

  • Rename: right-click → Rename, or press F2
  • Move: drag to reorder or drop onto another folder to nest
  • Delete: right-click → Delete — the folder moves to Recently Deleted

Recently Deleted

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.

Move and duplicate notes

Move notes

  • Drag and drop: drag a note from the list to a folder in the sidebar
  • Move dialog: right-click → Move to Folder, or Cmd+Shift+M / Ctrl+Shift+M

Duplicate notes

  • In-place: right-click → Duplicate — creates a copy in the same folder
  • To another folder or storage directory: right-click → Duplicate to… — copies the note with all images and attachments

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:

StateAppearanceEffect
NeutralGrayNo filter
IncludeBlue (+)Show only notes WITH this tag
ExcludeRed (−)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.

Type [[ in the editor. Autocomplete shows matching notes — select one to insert a clickable link.

After selecting a note in [[ autocomplete, the dropdown shows that note’s headings. Select one to link directly to that section.

Type [[# to see headings in the current note — useful for building a table of contents.

  • 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.
