A Tour of memrynote

A 60-second lap through the parts of the app you'll use most.

The Sidebar

The left sidebar is your primary navigation.

At the very top, the New button creates a note in one click. Click the chevron on its right to open the create menu — New Note, Journal, Calendar, Inbox, or Tasks — the same menu as the + on the tab bar.

Sections from top to bottom:

• Notes — recent and pinned notes
• Projects — task projects with their incomplete-task counts
• Tags — your tag vocabulary
• Bookmarks — notes you've marked
• Graph — visual map of how notes link
• Journal — opens today's entry
• Inbox — capture surface

Drag any section item to reorder, or right-click for a context menu.

At the bottom of the sidebar, a footer row holds three controls, left to right:

• Sync status — shows whether sync is connected; click it to open account settings (or to sign in when you're signed out).
• Vault name — click to open the vault menu: switch between vaults, Open vault to add another, or Sign in to sync.
• Settings (gear) — opens the settings modal, the same as ⌘+,.

Tabs

Across the top of the workspace. Every note, search, project view, journal entry, or settings panel opens in a tab.

• ⌘+T — new tab
• ⌘+W — close tab
• Ctrl+Tab — next tab

Pin a tab to keep it always at the front. Drag a tab to a pane edge to split the workspace.

The Editor

The main writing surface uses BlockNote — a block-based rich text editor.

• Type / to open the block menu
• Type [[ to link to another note (autocomplete suggests existing ones)
• Markdown shortcuts work inline: # , - , **bold**, `code`

Saves are automatic and debounced. Find-in-page is ⌘+F.

The Day Panel

A right-side panel with:

• A monthly calendar picker (heatmap of activity)
• Today's tasks (or whichever date you've focused)
• Schedule (events, journal preview)

Drag the left edge to resize; double-click to reset.

Inbox & Triage

A capture surface for links, files, voice memos, and other ephemera. The Triage view shows one item at a time as a card so you can process them quickly.

Tasks & Projects

Tasks live alongside notes. Two views — list and kanban. Group tasks under projects with custom statuses.

• Quick-add at the top of any task list
• Natural-language dates ("tomorrow", "next Friday") parse inline
• Bulk-select, drag, recurring tasks, subtasks — all there

Search

⌘+F opens the command palette. Type to search across notes, journal entries, tasks, and inbox items at once.

• 1 through 4 scope to a single source
• #tagname filters by tag
• If AI embeddings are enabled, results rank by meaning too

Settings

⌘+, opens the settings modal. The full reference lives at Settings Reference; the categories are:

• Workspace — Account, General, Templates, Editor, Journal, Tasks, Calendar
• Preferences — Appearance, Keyboard Shortcuts
• Services — AI, Integrations
• Data — Vault, Tags, Properties
