Notes

Notes is a page of the browser at onezero://notes. A note is the whole page, with nothing but your text: no toolbar, no title field, no Save button. It saves as you type. The first line with words on it is the note's title.

Opening Notes

• Type notes in the command center to list your notes there, with the picked one shown beside the list. Enter opens it.
• Put Notes on the wheel or a gesture.
• Give it keys in Settings → Keyboard shortcuts. It has none by default.
• Go to onezero://notes.

With no notes yet, it opens straight on a blank one.

The list and a note

The list shows your notes newest first, under Today, Yesterday, This week, and so on. Type in its search box, or press /, to search every note's text.

In a note, the back arrow and Ask AI appear only while the pointer is in the page's top corners. Right-click has the same actions.

Deleting a note moves it to the trash with Undo. A note you leave empty goes away on its own.

Writing

Notes are Markdown, shown the way they read: **bold** shows bold, and the marks come back only on the line you're editing. Lists carry on when you press Enter, and to-dos have checkboxes you can press.

Select some words for a popup with bold, italic, strikethrough, code, link, headings, quote, bullets, and to-dos. Or use the keys:

Pressing a style the words already have takes it off.

Menus as you type

Type one of these at the start of a line or after a space:

• / for headings, lists, to-dos, a quote, a code block, a table, a divider, today's date, a tab mention, or Ask AI.
• @ to mention one of the window's tabs. It goes in as a pill with the site's icon and title. Type an address instead to link any page.
• : for emoji. :smile: with its closing colon turns into the emoji by itself.

Keep typing to filter the menu, and pick with the arrow keys and Enter.

Pressing a tab pill goes to the tab showing that page, or opens it. An ordinary link needs ⌘Ctrl-click, since a plain click puts the caret there.

When you add a pill by typing an address, the browser reads that page's title and icon once, without your cookies. Opening a note never contacts any site.

Tables

/table makes a table you type into cell by cell. Tab and ⇧ShiftTab move across cells, and Tab from the last cell adds a row. Right-click to add or remove rows and columns, or pick Edit as Markdown to change the text by hand.

Pictures and videos

Drag a picture or video onto a note, paste a picture, or use /image or /video. Press one to select it: drag it to move it, drag its side bars to resize it, or use the popup for alignment, Full width, Original size, and Delete.

Pictures can be up to 50 MB and videos up to 2 GB. The browser keeps its own copy, so the note still works if you move or delete the original.

Notes and the AI chat

The AI chat can read and change your notes, so you can ask it to take notes on a page or tidy one up. It asks before it creates, changes, or deletes a note, and shows you the change first. ⌘CtrlZ in an open note undoes what it did.

Turn this off in Settings → AI → What AI can do → Notes. In incognito windows the AI can't see your notes.

Where notes are kept

Each note is a plain Markdown file on your computer, kept with your profile, so every profile has its own notes. Notes aren't synced. They only leave your computer when the AI chat reads one for you. Deleted notes stay in the trash for 30 days.

Limits

• ⌘CtrlF only finds words in the part of a long note that's on screen.
• Notes has no folders, tags, or pins.
