Notes

Notes are where your written content lives — meeting write-ups, research, ideas, and anything your companion captures for you.

Open Notes from the sidebar and select New Note, or just ask your companion in Chat to write something up. New accounts start with a Welcome to Notes note that walks through the basics.

Notes use a full rich-text editor. Type / anywhere to open the block menu:

Block What it does
Heading 2 / Heading 3 Section headings
Bullet list / Numbered list Standard lists
Task list Checkboxes you can tick off in place
Quote A pulled-out quotation
Code block Syntax-highlighted code
Table A table you can add and remove rows and columns from, and tint individual cells
Divider A horizontal rule
Image Upload an image

Select any text to bring up the formatting toolbar — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and links. Links show a preview when you hover them.

Drop an image straight into the page, paste it, or add one from the / menu. Once it’s in, click it to:

  • Resize it, and choose Inset, Outset, or Fill width
  • Align it left or centre — resized images sit left by default
  • Add alt text for accessibility

You can also embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo using the video button in the toolbar.

Paste Markdown and it converts to proper formatting rather than arriving as raw # and * characters. Pasting a YouTube or Vimeo link on its own line turns it into an embed.

Notes save themselves as you type — there’s no save button.

  • Documents — anything you or your companion writes. This is the normal kind.
  • Listener notes — created automatically after a Listener session, containing a summary and the full transcript. You don’t create these by hand.
  • Trackers — a retired type. Existing trackers stay readable, but you can’t create new ones.

Tags — add tags to group related notes. Open a note and add tags from the header.

Graph — the graph view shows how your notes connect through tags and related content.

Archive — archive notes you no longer need active. Archived notes don’t appear in the main list but aren’t deleted.

Notes can be shared the same way pages are — see Sharing & visibility.

From the Brains app you can link specific notes into a Brain so your companion references them. Open a Brain, find the Notes section, and add the notes you want.

Notes are indexed by meaning, so you can ask your companion to find content without remembering the exact words:

“Find that note about the Vienna trip”
