Attachments
Managing images, videos, and other media files
Octarine makes it easy to enrich your notes with images and videos. Whether you're documenting a project, creating a visual guide, or just adding some personality to your notes, attachments work seamlessly.
All your media attachments are kept organized in a .attachments folder inside your workspace. If you don't see it in Finder, you may need to enable viewing hidden folders.
What You Can Attach
Octarine supports common image formats like png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg, and webp, plus video formats including mp4, webm, and mov. Pretty much anything you'd expect to work does.
Adding Attachments to Your Notes
There are a few ways to get media into your notes, depending on what feels most natural:
Adding a new attachment:
- Type
/and select "Insert Media" to open a file picker and choose an image or video from your computer - Or just drag and drop a file directly from Finder into your note—it'll be added automatically
Reusing an existing attachment:
- Type
[[to see a list of all attachments already in your workspace, then pick the one you need - You can also drag attachments from the attachments popover directly into your note
Want to resize an attachment? Just grab the resize handle and adjust it to fit. The width gets stored right in the wikilink format, like this: [[Image.png|450]], where 450 is the width in pixels.
Managing Unused Attachments
Over time, you might accumulate attachments that are no longer referenced in any of your notes. Octarine makes it easy to clean these up.
Open the attachments popover and look for files that aren't being used. You can delete any unused attachments with a single click, keeping your workspace tidy and freeing up storage space.
