Smart Folders

Smart Folders are virtual folders that automatically collect notes based on configurable filter rules — without physically moving your notes.

Creating a Smart Folder

  1. Click New Smart Folder in the notes sidebar
  2. Enter a folder name
  3. Choose matching logic: All (AND) or Any (OR)
  4. Click + Add Filter to add filter rules

Multiple filters combine with your chosen logic (AND or OR). Filters can be removed individually.

How They Work

Smart folders show a dynamic count of matching notes. As you create and edit notes, the folder contents update automatically based on your rules.

Managing Smart Folders

  • Edit — reopen the modal to change the name or filter rules
  • Delete — remove the smart folder (your notes are not affected)

Examples

  • Recent meeting notes — Kind: Meeting + Date Created: Last 7 days
  • Shared documents — Shared: Is shared
  • Project research — Project: "Q2 Launch" + Tags: Any of "research", "reference"
