Note Inbox

The inbox is the default destination for quickly captured notes. When a note is created without picking a location first, it lands in the inbox. This makes it easy to quickly capture notes and sort them later.

Where the inbox is used#

  • The New note button in the Launch Bar.
  • The global Create note into inbox shortcut (default Ctrl+Alt+P).
  • The New note action in the tray icon menu.
  • The Web Clipper extension.
  • The Create note option offered when a search finds no match, in Jump to & command palette, in an empty tab and in the @ completion of a text note.

Setting a note inbox#

To create a note inbox, apply the #inbox label to it.

Only one note should carry this label. If there are multiple notes, only one will be used by the application.

Workspace inboxes#

Each workspace can have its own inbox, set via the #workspaceInbox label.

When a new note is created while hoisted in a workspace, the location is determined in the following order:

  • A note carrying the #workspaceInbox label in that workspace.
  • A note carrying the #inbox within that workspace.
  • Today's day note, if the workspace has a #workspaceCalendarRoot.
  • The workspace root note itself.
