QuickNotes, Notes, and rich editor: everything that changes in Keepsake

03 April 2026 · Nicolas Croce #changelog#product#notes#organization

Keepsake introduces a major overhaul of note management. Two distinct note types, a rich text editor, dedicated pages, and permanent links — all designed to separate fast capture from lasting organization.

QuickNotes and Notes: two tools, two purposes

Until now, all notes worked the same way. From today, Keepsake makes a clear distinction between two types.

QuickNotes are for capturing an idea, a piece of information, or a reminder in seconds. They land in the Inbox and stay there until you decide what to do with them: turn them into a task, archive them as a Note, or delete them. It’s the zero-friction capture tool.

Notes are your knowledge base. A meeting summary, a procedure, ideas for a project, information linked to a contact. Notes are archived, organized by tags and contacts, and findable at any time.

In short: a QuickNote is a sticky note. A Note is a filed index card.

To learn more about how QuickNotes work, see the Help Center article. The full note lifecycle (capture, archiving, organization) is detailed in Notes: from capture to archive.

Dedicated pages with auto-save

Every Note now has its own page. Not a modal, not a side panel — a full page where you can write and organize your information.

Saving is automatic. You write, the content is saved continuously. No “Save” button, no risk of losing work.

Archived notes display as compact cards with a content preview, making it easy to find the information you’re looking for at a glance.

A rich editor to structure your notes

The Note editor now supports rich formatting: headings, bold, italic, bullet lists, and numbered lists. A floating toolbar appears when you select text.

Tags autocomplete when you type # or [[, and contacts appear with @. This lets you quickly link your notes to projects and contacts without leaving the editor.

To understand how tags organize your notes, tasks, and contacts in one place, see Tags & Pages.

Every Note has a unique, permanent URL. You can bookmark it in your browser, paste it into another application, or share it.

This means your notes become stable references, accessible directly without navigating through the app.

Context-aware creation from tag and contact pages

When you create a note from a tag page (for example #Home project#), it’s automatically archived and linked to that tag. It doesn’t go through the Inbox.

The same behavior applies from a contact’s profile. If you’re on Sophie’s page and create a note, it will be directly linked to Sophie and archived.

The principle: if you’re already in a context, the information you add is already organized. No intermediate step needed.

To learn more about contact profiles and the information you can attach to them, see Contact Profiles.

Quick search (Cmd+K) now accepts Keepsake links. Copy the URL of a note, contact, tag, or task, paste it into the search bar, and you’re taken directly to that page.

This is especially useful if you keep Keepsake links in other tools (task manager, messaging app, documents).

Company selector on contacts

You can now associate a company with a contact directly from their profile. Select an existing company from the list or create one on the fly. No more manually typing the name each time.
