Folder View
A table view over a collection of notes with sortable columns and grouping. Like a database for your notes.
When to Use
When you want a database-like overview rather than the linear sidebar list. Especially useful when notes have custom properties you want to compare side-by-side.
Columns
By default the table shows:
- Title
- Tags
- Created
- Modified
You can show / hide columns including any custom property:
- Click the column picker in the header
- Toggle each property on/off
- Drag headers to reorder
Property columns let you sort and filter by typed values (numbers, dates, select).
Sorting
Click any header to sort. Click again to reverse direction. ⇧+click for secondary sort (sort by A then B).
Grouping
Group rows by:
- Folder
- Tag
- Property value (e.g. all rows with
Status: Live)
Group headers count rows and roll up subgroup counts.
Filtering
A filter bar above the table accepts:
- Free-text search across visible columns
- Property-specific filters (e.g.
Created after: 2026-01-01) - Tag filters (
#tagname)
Active filters show as chips you can dismiss.
Density
A density toggle in the toolbar:
| Density | Row height |
|---|---|
| Compact | minimal padding |
| Normal | comfortable |
| Spacious | extra room |
Persisted per device.
Inline Editing
Click any editable cell to update a property in place. Supported types:
- Text
- Number
- Date
- Select / multi-select
- Checkbox
Some fields (e.g. created date) are read-only.
Bulk Operations
Select rows with checkboxes for:
- Move to folder
- Add / remove tags
- Set / clear properties (for editable types)
- Delete
The bulk action bar appears at the top of the table when rows are selected.
Breadcrumb
If you opened folder view from a folder, a breadcrumb at the top lets you navigate up to parent folders.
