Organizing your notes

Folders, favourites, drag and drop, and finding notes.

The sidebar beside the editor holds your notes and folders.

Notes and folders

Create a note with New note, from a folder's menu to put it in that folder, or with Ctrl+N (Cmd+N on macOS). New folders start at the top level; drag one onto another to nest it. Rename anything by double-clicking its name or from its menu.

Drag and drop

  • Drop a note onto a folder to move it inside.
  • Drop a note near the top or bottom edge of another note to place it above or below.
  • Drop a folder onto another folder to nest it, or near its edge to reorder.

Favourites

Star a note from its row menu or from the breadcrumb bar above the editor. Favourites appear in their own section at the top of the sidebar, most recently used first.

Deleting

Delete Note and Delete Folder are on the row menu. Deleting a folder deletes everything inside it. There is no confirmation: the item moves to the trash and a toast offers Undo. See Trash for restoring it later.

Finding notes

  • By title. Ctrl+P opens the sidebar search.
  • Inside a note. Ctrl+F opens find and replace, with case-sensitive and whole-word options.
  • Within a long note. The floating Index lists the note's headings; click one to jump to it.

Mnemo reopens the note you last had open.
