Search & Organization
Find any note in seconds.Organize only if you want to.
Notebooks, tags, search, pinning, and color labels - 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.
