Threads

A thread is a list of notes on one page, in the order you wrote them. It’s the fastest way to take notes while you read: type, press Enter, keep reading.

Open it with the article icon in the dock.

The panel

The header shows the page the panel is writing to — hostname and path, without the query string. If that line doesn’t match the page you think you’re on, see How pages are matched.

Two size controls sit in the header and the input box:

• The horizontal arrows in the header widen the panel from 368px to 480px.
• The vertical arrows inside the input box grow the typing area from four lines to eight.

Both preferences stick.

Pin or thread

Below the input box is a row marked ↵ with two settings. It decides what the Enter key does:

Setting	Enter does
Thread	Adds the note to the list in the panel. The default.
Pin	Creates a floating sticky on the page instead.

Whichever you choose, both buttons stay available — you can always click Pin or Thread directly. Shift + Enter inserts a line break without saving.

Working with thread notes

Each note in the list shows the time you wrote it and a three-line preview. Click anywhere on a note to open it full size for editing.

Hovering reveals four buttons:

• Copy — copies the note to the clipboard, formatted (see Getting your notes out)
• Float as sticky — converts the note into a sticky on the page. It leaves the thread when it does.
• Share — not available yet
• Delete — asks Sure? first; click the check to confirm

Copy and export everything

When the page has notes, a toolbar appears at the bottom of the input area:

• Copy puts every note on this page — thread notes and stickies together, oldest first — on the clipboard as Markdown.
• Export downloads the same set as Markdown, HTML, or plain text.

Both include stickies, not just the thread. See Getting your notes out.

Switching tabs

The panel closes when you switch to another tab and come back. Your notes are untouched; click the article icon to reopen it.
