Workspaces

A workspace is a folder on your device that holds all your notes, templates, attachments, and settings. Create as many as you need — useful for keeping work and personal content separate.

When you first open Octarine, you'll be prompted to create a workspace before using the app.

Creating a Workspace

1. Click the Workspace Switcher (your workspace name) in the top-left corner
2. Select Create Workspace
3. Enter a name (changeable later)
4. Choose a folder location or paste a path
5. Pick an identifying color
6. Click Create

This creates a new folder at your chosen location with the workspace name.

Using an existing folder: Toggle Use an existing folder? during creation to point to a folder you already have instead of creating a new one.

Cloning settings: Copy settings from an existing workspace by selecting one from the Use settings from an existing workspace dropdown. Useful when you want to share API keys and editor preferences but keep notes separate.

Switching Workspaces

• Click the Workspace Switcher and select a workspace, or
• Use the Command Bar: Cmd/Ctrl + K → Switch Workspace

Workspace Settings

Each workspace has its own settings, so you can configure them independently. Change the workspace name or color anytime—the name change doesn't affect the actual folder name on disk.

Deleting a Workspace

Go to Settings → Danger and type the workspace name to confirm. This removes Octarine's settings and configurations for that workspace but doesn't delete your notes or the folder from your device.
