Organize with tags

Make a tag

Type a # and a word anywhere in your thought, like #quotes or #to-read. That is all it takes. Tags are tinted as you type, and the editor lists the ones it found under the text box.

A tag can have letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens. It needs at least one letter, so #1 is not a tag.

Rules worth knowing

• Tags are not case sensitive. #Quotes and #quotes are the same tag. The first spelling you used is the one shown.
• Tags work in any text block you add under a thought, too. See Quiz yourself with blurred blocks.
• A heading like # Title is a heading, not a tag.
• A # inside a web address, inside code, or right after a letter (as in C#) is not a tag.
• Tags are read again every time you save. So if you delete #quotes from the text, the tag leaves that thought.

Pick from your existing tags

When you type a #, the row above the keyboard shows your tags and how many thoughts use each. Tap one to finish it. The button on the formatting bar types a # for you.

The Tags tab

Open the tab at the bottom to see every tag.

• Every tag is listed with the number of thoughts it has, and a "due" count when some are due.
• "Untagged" collects thoughts that have no tag.
• Use the search box, "Filter tags", to find a tag by name.
• Tap a tag to open its page. It works like the Timeline, but only for that tag. It has a "Due" and "All" switch at the top.
• The dot next to each tag is its color. To change it, see Change a tag's color.

Jumping to a tag

Tap a tag chip on a thought, or a tag in its text, to go straight to that tag's page.

Tap while you are on a tag's page, and the new thought starts with that tag already filled in.

Tag counts only include thoughts that are not archived. A tag leaves the list when no thought uses it any more.
