Your first notes workflow¶

This page shows a small but realistic noteui workflow.

1. Open noteui¶

Start the app:

noteui

2. Create your first note¶

Press n to create a note.

Then press enter or o to open it in your configured editor.

3. Give it a useful title¶

Write a heading such as:

# Inbox

noteui uses headings and note content to improve browsing and naming behavior.

4. Search it¶

Back in noteui, press / and search for a word from the note.

Search checks:

• note title
• note path
• preview text
• tags

5. Organize it¶

Useful next actions:

• C: create a category
• m: move the note
• R: rename it
• p: pin it

6. Try a temporary note¶

Press N to create a temporary note.

Temporary notes are useful for quick capture and drafts that you do not want mixed into your main notes immediately.

7. Try a todo note¶

Press T to create a todo note template.

This is a good way to see how noteui handles structured checkbox-style notes directly in the terminal workflow.
