Notes

Creating a note

Press N (or pick the Note tool) and click the canvas — the note opens ready for typing. On desktop you can also drag the tool from the toolbar to a precise spot; on iPhone/iPad use + → Note. Pasting plain text onto the canvas (Cmd/Ctrl+V) creates a note, too.

Writing and formatting

Double-click a note to edit. A format bar appears with everything you need:

• Font size and text color — applied to selected text, or to the whole note if nothing is selected.
• Bold / italic / underline — also Cmd/Ctrl+B, I, U.
• Bullet and numbered lists — or just type -, * or 1. at a line start and the list appears as you type.
• Alignment — left, center, right.

Notes grow automatically with their content; drag a corner to set the width. Web addresses you type become clickable links, shown underlined in the signature red — one click opens them, a double-click edits the note instead.

Colors

Select a note and click the color circle in the floating bar: eight soft note colors, plus a rainbow custom color wheel for anything else. Color is a powerful organizer — many people use one color per topic or status.

When a note isn’t enough

Notes are for thoughts that fit on a card. When one grows into paragraphs, turn it into a document (a full editor, saved as Markdown); when it becomes a topic of its own, create a folder and move the related pieces inside.
