Notes are sticky text blocks. Use them for labels, captions, prompt drafts, or longer write-ups in Markdown.
Add a note
Click Add Note in the bottom toolbar, or press N. A blank note appears at the cursor; start typing immediately.
Click outside the note to commit. Click back inside any time to edit.
Inline formatting
Notes are full Markdown:
- Bold with
**…**, italic with*…*,inline codewith backticks. - Headings with
#,##,###. - Lists, blockquotes, fenced code, tables, links — anything CommonMark supports.
The rendered note shows formatted output by default; double-click to edit the raw source again.
Resize and reflow
Drag the bottom-right corner to resize. Text reflows automatically. There is no fixed shape — notes can be a single label or a full document block, whatever fits the board.
Colour
Right-click → Background colour to set the note’s tile colour. The app picks a foreground contrast automatically. A small palette of presets is offered, or pick a custom colour.
Use notes for prompts
Prompts you reuse — for image generation, agent commands — live well in notes. Select a note and use it as a starting point: copy the text into the generation panel, or mention the note in an agent prompt with @ so the agent picks up its contents.
