note-taking mode

capture the useful thing before it hardens.

Notes mode is for quick-reference pages, meeting fragments, research pulls, and recurring ideas. It opens a note document with a side panel of inserts that keep your hands close to the keyboard.

Note - May 22

gist: the strongest idea from the interview is not the quote, but the pause after it.

what changes

notes are still documents, but they are built for retrieval.

A note can become a draft later, but it does not have to. The note tools make it fast to add gist lines, tags, key points, follow-up tasks, and source space so small pieces of information remain findable after the session ends.

  • Use the side panel to insert timestamps, checkboxes, bullets, tags, dividers, and callouts.
  • Tags update as you type #topic or a tags: line.
  • Notes save to the same cloud library and appear in their own notes group.

research notes, calls, class notes, brainstorm residue, source tracking, project memory, and anything you will want to find again.

how it feels

More like index cards beside the draft than a separate knowledge base you have to maintain.
