A note you cannot find was never written. The notebook keeps everything in order, and every line takes you back to the exact place in the text.
Finding again
Four ways to narrow the list, and they combine:
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Looks in the comment, the excerpt, the reference and the labels |
| Source | The Bible, the Message, the songs |
| Folder | Your labels, with their counts |
| Colour | To revisit, for study, answered |
The reference chip is clickable: it reopens the chapter, the sermon or the song at the exact passage. For a Message note it also carries the sermon's title, since "47-1123 §1" on its own is a code nobody remembers.
The colours are a classification
Three, not twelve. Enough to tell "to revisit", "for study" and "answered" apart; beyond that, nobody remembers their own code.
The printout looks like a notebook
The PDF is not a list: it is an annotated page. A margin rule on the left, the reference written in that margin where one annotates, and the passage kept highlighted.
The rule takes the source's colour, and a different stroke per source, solid, dashed or dotted, so it stays legible on a black-and-white printer.
Notes are grouped by theme, with a heading per folder. Those without one close the list: that is often where the work still to be done sits.
Note: the header says "My notes", and nothing else. No logo, no legal name, no legal footer. These are your notes; they commit only you. Provenance sits in a discreet mark at the foot of the page.
What comes out is what you are looking at
The export menu announces the count and the active filter: "Notebook PDF (12 notes · Baptism)". Filtering on a folder and then printing produces exactly that folder.
Four outputs: the notebook-style PDF, the plain text that opens anywhere, the Markdown to carry on elsewhere, and the JSON that takes everything.
What is never shared
Nothing. A note cannot be sent, cannot be published, and appears in no church export. The pastor has no access, and neither do we.
