Command Bar
Quick-access palette for jumping to notes, running actions, and navigating the app
The Command Bar is a quick-access palette for jumping to notes, running actions, and navigating the app — all from one place.
Opening the Command Bar
Pull down from the top of any screen. As you pull, a pill labeled "Search for anything" appears and follows your finger. Once you've pulled far enough (you'll feel a haptic tap), release to open the Command Bar.
The gesture won't trigger if you're scrolled down in a list, or if you're actively typing inside the editor with a text selection.
Searching
The Command Bar opens with a text field — "Search notes, actions...". Start typing to filter results instantly.
It searches across three categories simultaneously:
- Notes — fuzzy-matches against your note names. When the bar is empty, it shows your recently viewed files.
- Dates — understands natural language like "tomorrow", "next friday", "jan 2024", or "3 days ago". Matched dates appear at the top as a quick way to open or create that day's daily note.
- Actions — fuzzy-matches against all available commands (see below).
Available Actions
Actions are grouped into sections. Some are always available; others only appear in certain contexts.

These actions only appear when you have a note open in the editor:
