Notes

Browse, create, sort, and manage your notes and folders

The Notes page is a file tree browser that shows every note and folder in your workspace. Open it from the bottom navigation bar.

Browsing the File Tree

Notes and folders are displayed in a hierarchical tree. Tap a folder to open it as its own page; tap a note to open it in the editor.

Folder pages show the folder name as the title, with the parent path as a breadcrumb subtitle. Tap the back button or swipe from the left edge to return to the parent folder.

Creating Notes and Folders

  • New note — tap the floating + button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This creates a new untitled note (or opens the Blank/Template sheet if you have templates).
  • New note in a folder — open the folder and use the + button, or long-press a folder from its parent to see folder actions.
  • New folder — tap the ··· (options) button in the folder's header and choose New Folder. A dialog appears where you enter the folder name, then tap Save.

Folder Icons

Folders can have custom icons. Pick one from Change Icon in the folder's context menu — the selected icon replaces the default folder glyph in the tree.

Sorting

Tap the sort button (down arrow) in the header to open the sort sheet. Six options are available:

SortDirection
NameA to Z
NameZ to A
CreatedNewest first
CreatedOldest first
ModifiedNewest first
ModifiedOldest first

The active sort option shows a checkmark. The sort applies to both files and folders within the tree.

Searching

The search field at the top of the page filters the tree as you type. Fuzzy matching is used — you don't need to type the exact name. Folders containing matching notes auto-expand to show the results.

Collapsing All

Tap the collapse button in the header to collapse every folder in the tree at once. Useful when the tree gets deeply expanded and you want a clean starting view.
