Notes and tag syntax

Notes and #tag syntax

The Notes page is a simple place to jot things down — a personal note, or a household one if you share it.

Tagging a note inline

While typing a note, type # followed by a tag name (e.g. #groceries) to tag it as you write. As you type, a picker shows matching existing tags to choose from.

A couple of things worth knowing:

• Only existing tags can be applied this way — typing #somethingnew that doesn't match any tag you already have just stays as plain text; it won't create a new tag on its own. Create new tags first from the Tags page.
• Tagging is additive — using #tag syntax only ever adds tags, it never removes one you already applied.
• If what you typed could match more than one tag, the longest matching name wins.

You can also apply tags to a note the same way you would on a task, using the tag picker — the inline # syntax is just a faster shortcut while typing.
