Minimalist Notes uses a rich text editor that supports common formatting options. Here are some tips:

Text Formatting

  • Bold - Select text and click B or use Cmd/Ctrl + B
  • Italic - Select text and click I or use Cmd/Ctrl + I
  • Code - Great for technical notes or commands

Lists

Create organized lists for better note structure:

  • Bullet points for unordered items
  • Numbered lists for steps or sequences

Headings

Use headings to structure longer notes:

  • H1 for main titles
  • H2 for sections
  • H3 for subsections

Hashtags

Add #hashtags anywhere in your note to organize and find notes easily. Tags appear in the note list for quick filtering.

Example: #work #ideas #todo
