The Command Bar combines note search, natural-language dates, navigation, and context-sensitive actions.

## Open the Command Bar

Pull down from the top of a page. A **Search for anything** pill follows the gesture; release after the haptic tap to open it.

The gesture stays out of the way when a nested list is already scrolled or you are working with a text selection in the editor.

## Search

The **Search notes, actions…** field searches three kinds of results at once:

- **Notes** by filename. With an empty query, the most recently opened notes appear first.
- **Dates** from phrases such as `tomorrow`, `next Friday`, or `January 2027`.
- **Actions** available in the current workspace and screen.

Selecting a date opens or creates its daily note.

## Actions

### Git Sync

For an on-device Git workspace with a remote:

- **Pull Changes** downloads remote changes without uploading local work.
- **Sync Now** commits local changes, integrates the remote branch, and pushes when needed.

### Current Note

When a note is open, actions can include **Delete**, **Duplicate**, **Pin** or **Unpin**, **Make note read-only** or **editable**, **Copy Content**, and **Move to Folder**. Daily notes, weekly notes, and templates omit actions that do not apply to them.

**Open Random Note** is available whenever the workspace contains regular notes.

### Create

- **Quick Capture to Inbox**
- **New Note**
- **New Note in This Folder** when browsing a subfolder
- **New Folder**

### Navigation

- **Open today's daily note**
- **Go to Library**
- **Search in Notes**
- **Go to Tags**, **Properties**, **Templates**, **Attachments**, or **Settings**

### Workspace and App

**Switch Workspace** appears when another workspace is available and opens a submenu of workspaces. **About** opens app version, feedback, and community information.

## Submenus

Actions such as **Move to Folder** and **Switch Workspace** open a second list. Use the back arrow at the top to return to the main Command Bar.

#### Quick Answers

### Can the iOS Command Bar open a daily note?

### What is the difference between Pull Changes and Sync Now?

Pull Changes only downloads remote Git changes. Sync Now also commits local changes and pushes the integrated result.
