Search & OCR
Search in mashnote is instant and covers everything — including the text inside your photos and PDFs.
Full-text search
Section titled “Full-text search”The search bar is always at the top. Type to filter the note list in real time, across all notebooks and tags. Search works offline too.
OCR — search inside images
Section titled “OCR — search inside images”Photos and PDFs you attach are read with on-device OCR, so the text inside them becomes searchable. Snapshot a whiteboard, a receipt or a menu — you can find it later by typing what it said.
- OCR runs on your device — the contents of your files don’t leave it to be read.
- It feeds the same search index as your typed notes.
Finding text in a note
Section titled “Finding text in a note”To search within the open note, press ⌘F / Ctrl+F for the in-note find bar.
See Keyboard shortcuts for the full shortcut list.
