Search

Design intent: If necessary, offer a way to locate an old note. Also use this area for basic note management.

Antinote is meant for temporary notes, so storing and organizing stay deliberately simple — but the search pane is also where you manage your stack.

• With nothing typed, all notes are shown, newest first. Type to filter down to notes containing the search term.
• Click a result to open it in place.
• Every row has two always-available buttons: promote to front (↑) and delete (the note goes to The Void).

Reorder by dragging

• Press and drag anywhere on a result to move that note somewhere else in your stack — no drag handle needed.
• Reordering only works with an empty search field (clear the search to rearrange), and slotted notes stay in their slots.

List and card view

• The toggle at the bottom right switches between a compact list and a card grid. Cards show a miniature of each note with its keyword-colored title.
• Your choice is remembered.

Multi-select

• Click Select at the bottom left, then check any notes you want to act on.
• Use Promote selected to front or Delete selected. Dragging a checked note moves the whole selection together as one block.
• Slotted notes can't be batch-edited.

Ephemeral / Slotted filter

• Next to Select, a filter toggles between your ephemeral stack and your slotted notes.
• As soon as you type a search term, the filter switches to All notes — a search always covers everything.
