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:

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.

If you opened folder view from a folder, a breadcrumb at the top lets you navigate up to parent folders.
