Search

There are three ways to find something, from wide to narrow.

Search every note (⌘K)

Press ⌘K, or choose Search in the sidebar. Type a word or a phrase. Niv finds notes by their title and by the text inside them.

Notes whose title matches come first. Matches inside the text arrive a moment later. When there are more matches than fit, Niv says how many more, so you can keep typing to narrow it down.

Press ⌘K again to close the search.

Jump to a note by name (⌘O)

Press ⌘O and type part of a note's name. With nothing typed, it shows your recent notes and recent Spaces.

• ↑ and ↓ move through the list.

• ↵ opens the note.

• ⇧↵ creates a new note with the name you typed.

• esc closes it.

Notes from your templates folder are marked "template".

Type > first to run a command instead. See Keyboard shortcuts.

Find in the open note (⌘F)

Press ⌘F to find text in the note you're reading. ↵ goes to the next match, ⇧↵ to the previous one.

Ask your agent

Your AI agent can search your notes too, and show what it found. See AI chat.
