Text notes
Quick capture for thoughts, lists, or information, short or long.
Notes
Quick notes for the small stuff
Capture a thought, a list, or a photo with its context, short or long. Notes sit in the same folders and tags as your docs and bookmarks, so nothing you jot down ends up on its own island.
Capture it the way it comes
Type a line, tick off a list, or attach an image. A note takes whatever shape the thought needs.
Checklists
Add checkboxes and mark items complete as you go.
Image notes
Attach images for visual reminders or photos with context.
Rich text formatting
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and hyperlinks, with common shortcuts like Ctrl+B as you type.
Voice dictation
Speak and it becomes text, straight into a note. Use Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + M on the web.
Colour coding
Assign colours to notes for visual categorization, so your own system shows at a glance.
Organized like everything else
Notes use the same organization system as the rest of Brainfo, and they are collaborative, not just docs.
Folders and tags
Subfolders and many-to-many tags, shared across notes, docs, bookmarks, and chats.
Real-time collaboration
Several people can edit the same note at once, with the body merging cleanly.
List and grid views
A list for fast browsing or a card grid for a visual overview. The toggle is on desktop.
Filter and sort
Filter by folder or tag, and sort by Activity, Latest, Oldest, A-Z, or Z-A.
