Editor overview

The mashnote editor is a flowing rich-text document, not a block editor. You write naturally, and formatting is always one tap away through a minimal floating toolbar.

Chrome appears only when you need it:

  • The formatting toolbar is a floating bar, never a permanent ribbon.
  • Search is always at the top, in every view.
  • One obvious + New note button is always visible, plus ⌘N / Ctrl+N.
  • Left rail — All Notes, Favorites, Notebooks and Tags.
  • Note list — title, a one-to-two line snippet and date. Compact, not sparse.
  • Editor — the flowing rich text, where you spend your time.

Everything has a shortcut — ⌘K for the command palette, ⌘P for the quick switcher, ⌘F to search within a note. See Keyboard shortcuts.

Headings, bold, italic, underline and strikethrough; bullet, numbered and checklist lists; quotes, code blocks, inline code and links; and inline images and file attachments. See Formatting & the toolbar.
