The list shows every note with its title, the first lines of its text and its date, in the order you gave them. A new note comes in at the top.
Drag the grip, the three lines at the right of a note, to move it up or down. When you let go, the new order is sent to your index: your other phones and the search page of your notes show the notes in the same order. When two phones order the notes differently, the one that ordered them last wins.
Swipe a note to the left. The app asks first; confirm and the note is removed from the phone and from your index at once, and from your other phones at their next sync. A deleted note stays deleted, even when another phone still had an edit of it waiting to be sent.
- Press and hold a note to pick it. A check shows next to it and the top bar says how many notes are picked.
- Keep your finger down and drag up or down: every note between the first one and your finger is picked. At the top or bottom edge of the screen the list scrolls on its own, so you can pick a long run of notes in one move.
- Tap a note to pick or unpick it while others are picked. The back arrow, or Android’s Back, lets go of them all.
- Delete, in the top bar, asks once and removes every picked note together, from the phone, from your index and from your other phones.
The same works in the results of a search.
Pull the list down to sync: notes written on this phone that are not in the index yet are sent, notes written, changed, reordered or deleted on another phone that shares the index arrive. A note not yet in the index says not synced yet under its text. See The index and sync.
Every date in the app is written the same way: Fri, 23 Oct. 2026 - 02:15:31.
The list and the search results load in pages as you scroll, so a list of thousands of notes opens at once. While the list moves, a handle shows at the right edge: drag it to jump through the list, with the month of the notes under it shown next to your finger.
