Search & Organization
Find any note in seconds.Organize only if you want to.
Notebooks, tags, search, pinning, color labels, and drag-and-drop you can actually feel - flexible enough for power users, invisible if you just want to write.
Filmed in the real app - search filters with every keystroke, straight to the right note.
Organization shouldn't be a second job
Five hundred notes and no way to find the right one. Most apps answer with folder hierarchies, database schemas, and linked pages. You shouldn't need a system to use your notes.
Organize your way - or don't
Notebooks, tags, color labels, and pinning for the systematizers. Instant search for everyone else.

Clara, project manager
A notebook per project, sprint notes dragged into the order the work actually happens, color-coded by priority. Cmd+K finds any decision in seconds.
James, student
A notebook per course, tags like #exam and #lecture across all of them. The Tags page gives a cross-course view instantly.
Nina, writer
Color-codes by status: yellow for drafts, green for ready, blue for published. One glance at the list shows where everything stands.
Raj, minimalist
No notebooks. No tags. Just writes and searches when needed. The Knowledge Engine organizes what he won't.
