Manual Notes

Organize notes with folders

Create folders, move notes between them, and understand the folders Neato Echo makes for you.

Every note lives in a folder. All of them are stored on this PC, in Neato Echo's local database — nothing syncs anywhere.

Creating and using folders

Create a folder from the sidebar, then drag notes into it. A note can be moved between folders freely, and folders can be renamed whenever you like.

Two rules worth knowing before you reorganize:

  • Default folders can't be changed or deleted. Neato Echo creates a few for itself — Meetings is where meeting recordings land, and audio fetched from a URL goes to Videos. The app will tell you: "Default folders cannot be changed."
  • Folder names must be unique. A repeat gives you "A folder with that name already exists."

Where things get filed automatically

Mirroring folders to disk

If you'd like your folder structure to exist as real files on your computer, turn on Save notes as files — it writes each note as Markdown, organized by folder, to a location you choose. See export your notes.
