Features

Section Management

• Sections: Organize your workspace seamlessly, acting similar to separate browser tabs for different workflows.
• Rename Sections: Double-click on a section name to edit it.
• Sections Scroll: When your sections exceed the available horizontal screen space, simply click and drag anywhere in the section bar area, or use your mouse wheel, to scroll left and right.
• Reorder Sections: Click and hold a section, drag it vertically first (up/down), then move it horizontally (left/right) to snap it into your desired location, then release.
• List View: All your sections and notes are also available in a hierarchical, organized view list. You can easily transfer notes to different sections from this hub.

Workspace Navigation

• Event Storage: Enables real-time synchronization between multiple windows.
• Panning (Drag to Move): Click and hold the Left Mouse Button (or Middle Button) on any empty area of the background to "grab" and move the entire workspace.
• Auto-Expansion: Simply drag notes or resize them towards the edges of a section. The workspace will automatically grow to provide more space as you approach the boundaries.
• Smart Cleanup: When you release a note, the section automatically shrinks to fit your notes' footprint, ensuring your workspace stays organized without unnecessary empty space.

Note Controls

• Drag and Drop: Click and hold the handle of any note to move it. You can also multi-select notes with Ctrl + Shift + Click to move several at once.
• Toggle/Collapse: Click the arrow icon in the note header to expand or collapse it. Notes directly below will be automatically pulled up or pushed down. The proximity limit for this behavior can be adjusted in Settings. This distance creates a unity of organization: notes within this range are handled as a logical group, ensuring that related items move together to maintain your layout's structure even if they are not perfectly aligned or touching.
• Focus Note: If a note is partially off-screen, simply click it to automatically bring it into full view. The Focus scroll offset can be adjusted in Settings.

Text Formatting & Blocks

• Bulleted Lists: Type * + Space at the start of a line to create bulleted points.
• Numbered Lists: Type 1. + Space at the start of a line to begin a numbered list.
• Checkboxes: Type < + Space at the start of a line to create an interactive to-do item.
• Toggle Blocks: Type > + Space to make content collapsible.
• Format Conversions: Select existing text and click the list/checkbox buttons in the toolbar to automatically format them line-by-line.

Advanced Functionality

• Environment Variables: Available via the "Vars" (cylinder) icon button. Set global key/value pairs (like IP=10.10.10.10) useful in templates.
• Variable Injection: When hovering over formatted code blocks, click the float icon to copy the content with all matching environment variables automatically evaluated and injected.
• Easy Copy: Toggle via Alt + C. Selected blocks become fully clickable elements that instantly copy their content to your clipboard.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Security & Synchronization

Local Storage & Backup

• Process: By default, all data is written locally directly to `localStorage` in your browser. Auto-saving continuously commits your session transparently.
• Export & Import: Your workspace can be completely written out as a JSON file via the Export button, and restored at any point utilizing the Import functionality. Using encryption during export guarantees safe transport.

Cloud Synchronization

Our cloud sync operates under a Zero-Knowledge Architecture.

• How it works: The entire JSON object comprising your workspace is compressed to minimize size and reduce predictability of the data before it undergoes AES-GCM 256-bit encryption locally in your browser. The server handles exclusively encrypted blobs and never perceives the keys.
• Authentication & Restoring: You authenticate using your Google or GitHub account. To completely restore and decrypt your data pulled from the cloud, you must provide the exact configuration: your Encryption Password and Salt (if a custom salt was used).
• Restrictions: Within the cloud environment, you cannot repeat Database Notes titles for the same user, ensuring consistent document tracking and retrieval patterns.

Remember: If you lose these keys, your information is rendered mathematically unrecoverable.

Collaboration & Sharing

• Sharing by Nickname: You can grant read-only access to any of your cloud documents by entering a user's exact Nickname in the Collaborators section. The authorized document will immediately populate in their "Shared with Me" tab.
• Access & Privacy: Because sharing utilizes only exact nicknames indexed anonymously rather than searchable emails, user enumeration is completely prevented. Shared documents enforce severe read-only constraints mathematically guaranteed by Cloud Firestore Rules.
• Desynchronize Button: While reviewing a document shared with you, you will find a Desynchronize action in the control center. Utilizing this tool cleanly severs the synchronization link to the cloud session while deliberately retaining the document's text offline into your personal interface, allowing you to instantly inherit a workable, private copy.
