Welcome to your notes

A quick tour to get you started. Edit or delete this note any time — it's private, like every note until you choose to share it.

Writing

Notes are plain Markdown. Tap the + button to start a fresh note; the first # Heading becomes its title. The arrow next to + has more ways to start — a new folder, or a voice note or scan in the iPhone app.

Organizing

Put a note in a folder by typing the folder's name in the Folder field — folders are created as you go. The home screen gives you several views of your library:

• Notes — everything, newest first
• Folders — your folder tree
• Lists — Pinned, To do, Shared, Published, Deleted, and more
• Recents — what you've touched lately
• Tags — grouped by #tag

Pinned, Shared and Published are flags, not folders: a note stays in its own folder and can carry any combination of them.

Sharing and publishing

Nothing leaves your notebook unless you say so:

• Share gives a note a private link. Only people with the link can read it.
• Publish also lists the note on your public page, /u/<your-handle>.

You can share one version of a note or all of its versions, and share a whole folder or tag. Change your handle in Settings → Account → Profile.

Versions

To rework a note without losing the original, use Add to this post (next to the + button while you're reading it). Every version is kept as a tab on the note.

Listening

Tap the ▶ button under a note's title to have it read aloud. In the iPhone app it keeps playing when you lock the screen, and you can pause or skip from the Lock Screen.

Settings

• Settings → Notes — import a Notion or Obsidian export, export everything, and turn optional features on or off.
• Settings → AI — optional: add your own AI provider key for features like semantic search. Nothing is sent to an AI provider unless you add a key and turn a feature on.
• Settings → Account — your profile, blocked users, and deleting your account.

You sign in with Apple or Google.

Happy writing.
