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.
