Note Organization

Mimiri Notes organizational system:

Note History

Previous versions are preserved:
  • Access via the History button in the toolbar
  • View timestamps and previous content
  • Copy content from history to recover changes
  • History view is read-only

Formatting and Special Syntax

Mimiri Notes is deliberately plain text (with a few extras)
We made it like this because we find formatting to be a distraction from the content.
That said, Mimiri Notes has a few special add-ons to the plain text:

Passwords

Hide sensitive information:
p`mysecretpassword`
Features:
  • Displays as p`misecretpassword` in your notes
  • Copy to clipboard by double-clicking or tapping
  • Apply to selected text with Ctrl + Shift + C (⌘ + Shift + C on Mac)
  • Remove formatting with the toolbar button
Use cases:
  • Login credentials
  • API keys
  • Personal identification numbers
  • Any sensitive data you want to keep private from shoulder surfers

Checkboxes

Create interactive task lists:
[ ] Unchecked item
    [x] Checked item
    [ ] Another unchecked item
Features:
  • Click to toggle between checked and unchecked
  • Works on both desktop and mobile
  • Perfect for to-do lists and task tracking

Headlines

Structure your notes with headers:
# Main Headline
    ## Sub Headline
    ### Sub-sub Headline
Features:
  • Similar to Markdown syntax
  • Three levels of headlines available
  • Helps organize longer notes

Design Philosophy

Why plain text?
  • Easier to edit - no complex formatting to break
  • Better copy/paste - works everywhere
  • Faster input - focus on content, not appearance
  • Universal compatibility - plain text is timeless
Special syntax principles:
  • Always visible in editor - no hidden formatting
  • Easy to edit or remove - no mode switching required
  • Functional, not decorative - each feature serves a practical purpose

Mobile Considerations

Touch Interactions

  • Tap to select notes in the tree
  • Tap passwords to copy them
  • Tap checkboxes to toggle state
  • Use toolbar buttons for mobile-optimized functions

Mobile-Specific Features

  • Search toolbar button when screen space is limited
