Organizing notes with tabs

Notes Tab keeps separate documents in named tabs along the top of every new tab page. Each tab holds its own note, and switching tabs instantly loads that note into the editor. The first time you open Notes Tab you start on a tab called Home.

Click the + button in the tab strip. New tabs are named Tab 1, Tab 2, and so on, and you can rename them right away.

Click the tab that is already active to turn its name into an editable field. Type a new name and press Enter to save it. An empty name is ignored, and the tab keeps its previous name.

  • Click any tab to switch to it.
  • Press Cmd/Ctrl + [ or ] to cycle backward or forward through your visible tabs. The shortcut wraps around at either end and is shown as a hint below the tab strip. It is disabled while you are renaming a tab or have search open.

Click the Copy markdown pill below the tab strip to copy the active tab’s full note to your clipboard as Markdown. The button briefly shows “Copied!” to confirm.

The tab strip only shows tabs marked visible. You can hide, reorder, or delete tabs, and mark them to share with an AI agent, from Settings. See Settings and your workspace and Sharing notes with an AI agent. A tab that is shared shows a lightning-bolt badge next to its name in the strip.

The list of tabs and each note body are stored locally in your browser, never on a server. If you have Notes Tab open in more than one window, an edit in one window is picked up by the others automatically. To move your tabs and notes to another machine, use Export and Import in Settings.
