Search & filtering

Full-text search, the quick switcher, view filters, and category/tag filters.

Quick switcher

Press CtrlP to open the quick switcher — a fast, keyboard-driven way to jump between notes. Start typing part of a note's title and the list filters instantly. Results are sorted with your most recently opened notes first, then by last-modified date. Use the / arrow keys to navigate and Enter to open. Press Escape to dismiss.

View filters

The view selector dropdown at the top of the document list lets you filter notes by time period (Today, This week, This month), or by status (Pinned, Todos, Shared, Archived). These filters can be combined with category and tag filters for more precise results. Each filter option shows a count of how many notes match.

Category and tag filters

Select one or more categories and/or tags from the sidebar or the view selector. Category filters use OR logic — notes belonging to any of the selected categories are shown. Tag and other filters use AND logic — notes must match all active filters to appear. Active filters are displayed as removable pills at the top of the document list.
