Text Notes
Text Notes are quick private notes that also belong to a Knowledge Library. Use them for meeting notes, outlines, research snippets, task notes, or anything you may want AI Chat to reference later.
Create a Quick Note
Open Text Notes from the side menu or Menu screen, then create a note. The quick composer starts with a timestamped title so you can capture an idea first and rename it later.
- Open Text Notes
Use the side menu entry, Menu screen, home-screen quick action, or Shortcuts action.
- Choose a library
Pick where the note belongs. If you have a default notes library, the app can preselect it.
- Write the note
Add the content you want to keep. You can leave the body blank if you only need a placeholder.
Default Notes Library
Every Text Note belongs to a Knowledge Library. Set a default notes library if most quick notes belong in the same place. If no library exists yet, the app can create a default one for notes.
Side Menu Access
The side menu can show Text Notes as a top-level section. You can customize which sections appear and their order, so notes stay close if you use them often.
On compact screens, the Menu button gives access to every section even if only a few are pinned in the side menu.
Editing and Saving
Select a note to edit it in the main note area. Press Return for a new line. Use Save when you are ready to keep changes. If the note needs to be refreshed before AI Chat can use the latest text, the app shows that status in plain language.
Markdown notes can be previewed where the editor offers a preview mode. Keep filenames simple; the note title and content are what matter most while writing.
Moving Notes Between Libraries
Move a note when it belongs with a different project. Moving changes the note's library. Copying creates a separate note in the destination library, which is safer when two projects need different versions.
Shortcuts and Home Screen
Use the Text Note home-screen quick action when you want to capture something without navigating through the app first. In Shortcuts or Siri, use the create-note action to make a note with a title, content, and destination library.
