Keepsake
Keepsake — Link your notes to a day, all from the keyboard
A note is rarely alone. It’s about someone, it feeds a project, it sits in time. Keepsake’s strength has always been to connect — your ideas to people, to tags, to pages. This update adds a dimension to those links, and makes the act of linking faster than ever.
Your notes can now be linked to a day, and you can connect everything — tags, contacts, pages, dates — without leaving the keyboard.
Link your notes to a day
Some notes belong neither to a person nor to a project: they belong to a day. Preparing a meeting for June 18. Noting what to bring tomorrow. Gathering your thoughts for next Monday.
Now, a note can be attached to one or more days, and resurface exactly when you need it.
The gesture is simple. In a note, type /date and write the date the way it comes to you — “June 18”, “tomorrow”, “next Monday”, “18/06”. Keepsake understands it and shows you the resolved date as you type. Don’t feel like typing? A calendar button is right there. Either way, a date pill is added to the note.
That pill behaves like a tag: click it to jump straight to that day’s view, where the note appears alongside the day’s tasks and journal. And when the day comes, it’s waiting for you in Today.
You can even start from the day. Open a day, write your note in the Notes section: it’s linked to that day automatically. It’s the daily note habit — open the day, capture what belongs to it — losing nothing: the note also stays in your inbox.
Connect everything without leaving the keyboard
Linking an idea to a tag, a person or a page should never make you stop and think. This update turns that gesture into a reflex.
Select a word and press `#`, `[[` or `@`: your selection gets wrapped, not replaced. “Project X” becomes a tag, “Marie” becomes a contact, in a single keystroke. The fastest way to turn words you’ve already written into links.
Prefer to type as you go? Write #, @ or /, and autocomplete guides you: arrows to choose, Enter to confirm. And if the contact doesn’t exist yet, create it on the spot — without leaving your note.
Three slash commands join the menu for those who like to do everything from the keyboard: /tag, /people and /date. Especially handy on mobile or on AZERTY keyboards, where #, @ and [ take an extra key. The slash menu is now fully translated in French and English.
And your links are visible: #tags, [[pages]] and @contacts are now highlighted right in the editor. A glance is enough to see how a note connects to the rest of your system.

Two refinements that smooth out the everyday:
- Unified search. In quick search (⌘K), your notes and your archives appear together. No need to remember whether you archived a note: it shows up, period. Archived ones simply carry a discreet “Archived” badge.
- Editorial status in a menu. Your notes’ status (Draft, To review, Ready) now opens in a small menu: see every stage, and go back or step out of the flow at any time.
Over to you
Everything is live right now. Open a note, type /date, and link it to the day that matters. Select a word, press #, and watch it become a tag.
For the details, two help center articles cover everything: Notes & dates — link a note to a day and Slash commands — link without leaving the keyboard.
