Note

The Notes panel is a quick-capture sidebar for jotting things down without committing to a full calendar item -- and for turning a note into one the moment it's ready.

Kalendi - Note

Opening the panel

Click the notes icon in the top toolbar, or press N, to open the Notes panel alongside the Calendar or Kanban board. Press N (or click the icon) again to close it. It's only available in those two views.

Unlike the other dialogs, the Notes panel isn't a modal or a floating popup -- it's a fixed sidebar that pushes the grid/board over, so you can keep it open while you work.

Notebooks

Every note belongs to exactly one notebook. A dropdown at the top of the panel picks which notebook's notes are shown -- it starts on your default notebook, and only that notebook's notes are listed at a time. Switching notebooks here doesn't create or edit notebooks themselves; manage those under Settings → Notebook.

Creating a note

Type into What's on your mind? and press Enter. A note has a single field -- its title, as one line of plain text; there's no separate description or rich text. New notes are added to the top of the list, filed under whichever notebook is currently selected.

Editing and deleting a note

  • Double-click a note's text to rename it. Enter (or clicking away) saves the change; Escape reverts it. An empty title is never saved.
  • Hover over a note to reveal a trash-can icon; click it to delete the note immediately -- there's no confirmation step.

Turning a note into a calendar item

Drag a note out of the panel and drop it onto:

  • The Month grid -- creates an item on that day, starting at 9am with a 1-hour duration.
  • The Day/Week grid -- creates an item starting at the exact time you dropped it, snapped to the nearest 15 minutes, with a 1-hour duration.
  • A Kanban column -- creates an item with that column's status already set, and no date.

In every case, the note's title becomes the new item's title, and the Create/Edit Item dialog opens with those fields already filled in so you can adjust anything else before saving. The note itself is only deleted once you save the new item -- if you cancel instead, the note is left exactly as it was.
