What are tags?
Tags are flexible, color-coded labels you can apply to any item — notes, bookmarks, and files alike. Unlike stashes, an item can have multiple tags, and clicking a tag in the sidebar shows everything with that label regardless of type or stash.
Tags work well alongside stashes:
- Use stashes for broad project-level grouping (e.g. "Work", "Personal", "Research")
- Use tags for cross-cutting themes (e.g. "important", "to-read", "reference", "2026")
Adding tags
Bulk tagging from the dashboard:
- Hover over any item card to reveal its checkbox, then click it to select. Repeat for additional items.
- The bulk action bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
- Click Tag (tag icon) → a tag picker opens.
- Select one or more tags. Type a name to create a new tag inline with a color picker.
- Click Done when finished.
On a note: Open the note → click + in the metadata bar (below the title) → select or create a tag. Click × on a tag chip to remove it.
On a bookmark: Click the bookmark card to open its editor modal → use the Tags section → click Add tag to open the tag picker.
Removing tags
Single item: Open the note editor or bookmark modal → click × on the tag chip you want to remove.
Bulk removal from the dashboard:
- Select one or more items using their checkboxes.
- Click Untag in the bulk action bar (only enabled when selected items have tags).
- The picker shows only tags currently applied to the selected items — select the tags to remove.
Filtering by tag
Click any tag in the left sidebar to view all items with that label. The type filter and stash filter still apply within the tag view. The sidebar shows an item count next to each tag.
To search for a tag in the sidebar, click the search icon in the Tags section header.
Managing tags
Renaming a tag:
From the sidebar: Hover over a tag → click the pencil icon → edit the name inline → press Enter or click the checkmark to save.
From the Manage Stashes & Tags modal:
- Click Manage Stashes & Tags in the left sidebar.
- Go to the Tags tab.
- Hover over the tag → click the pencil icon → edit name and color → click Save.
Deleting a tag:
From the sidebar: Hover over a tag → click the trash icon → confirm.
From the Manage Stashes & Tags modal: Hover over the tag → click the trash icon → a confirmation dialog shows how many items use this tag → confirm to delete.
