Write notes

Notes are your own writing. Gleanary stores them alongside the sources you save.

Outside Chat, choose File › New Note or press ⌘N. Give the note a Title, write in Markdown and choose Save.

Notes are saved on your Mac straight away. Search catches up in the background.

Notes use standard Markdown. For math, use these forms:

To write Type
Inline math $x^2$ or \(x^2\)
A math block $$…$$, \[…\], or a code block with the language math

Open Note properties and choose a Type: Meeting, Project, Decision or Person. Each type adds its own fields. To link a field to another note, choose Choose… and search your saved notes.

To reuse a note’s layout, choose Save as Template… in the editor. Your templates are listed in Note templates, where you can create one with New Template or start a note with Use.

A source can have a note as its summary.

  • To have Gleanary write one, choose Summarize on the source.
  • To use a note you already wrote, choose Use Existing Note… on a source with no summary.
  • To write another, choose Create Another Summary….
  • Revision history shows earlier versions of a note.
  • Export Markdown saves the note as a Markdown file.
  • Delete Note removes it.
