Guides and answers for getting the most out of Notel. Looking for something quick? The FAQ covers the most common questions.

Getting started

Make a note, give it a color, and learn the three controls on every note.

Fan, Library, Spring, Stacks, Peek: what each one means.

Type / inside any note: checklists with progress tracking, embedded notes, tables, code, and more.

Where to grab a note, the resize circle, and the two right-click menus.

Piling notes up, tucking them into bubbles, and flipping through everything.

Live math at the end of the line, and reminders you set by pressing Return.

Classic colors, 26 full themes, custom inks, and spectrum-painted stacks.

A tour of all eight Settings tabs, card by card.

7 days, every feature unlocked, no account needed.

Entering your code, the three-Mac limit, and moving to a new Mac.

Where your code appears, and how to get it back.

Local-first storage, the two automatic pre-sync snapshots, and the full-library zip.

How syncing works, what Notel can and cannot see, and turning it off.

Locking a note, opening it on a second Mac, and why iCloud Keychain matters.

Two safety nets: the 30-day Recently Deleted window, and plain-text archives on disk.

PDF, Markdown, PNG, .notelnote files, and texting a note to your phone.

What happens when you drop big files into a note, and where the limits are.

Almost always notification permission or Focus.

Requirements, the drag-to-Applications step, first-open checks, and updates.
