Introducing Views

Views let you create custom filtered, sorted, and grouped tables of your notes — powerful datatable interfaces for organizing, searching, and visualizing your content at scale. Think of them as smart saved searches that update automatically.

What can you do with Views?

  • Custom Tables: Build dynamic tables that display your notes based on any criteria.
  • Powerful Filtering: Filter notes by system fields (like created/modified date, tags, task status), custom properties, linked notes, and more. Combine multiple filters for precise queries.
  • Flexible Columns: Choose exactly what data to display in your table, from note names and dates to custom properties, tags, and task counts.
  • Sorting: Easily sort your notes by multiple fields to get the exact order you need.
  • Personalization: Customize each view with unique names, icons, and colors to make them easy to identify. Rearrange them to a custom order.
  • Default Views: Get started instantly with three pre-built views:
    • Organised Notes: All notes in your Notes folder, sorted by last modified date.
    • Pending Tasks: Notes with task checkboxes, showing status and counts.
    • Recently Written: Notes modified in the past 7 days with their linked notes.

How to get started:

  1. Open Views from the sidebar or use the shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + K → Go to Views (or g w).
  2. Click "+ Create View" to create your custom table.
  3. Add filters and configure columns to tailor it to your needs!
