Notes and reminders
Extension

Notes, reminders, notebook, and sticky notes

NexoPad does not treat notes as plain text: they can be the base for snippets, reminders, clips, or floating windows.

The notes system is the heart of the product. Snippets, reminders, the full notebook, the trash, and the floating sticky note all start here.

If you only learn one part of NexoPad, let it be this one: understanding notes unlocks almost everything else.

What you can do inside the notes editor

  • Assign a title, content, category, tags, workspace, and shortcut.
  • Use rich formatting: lists, links, images by URL, tables, emoji, code blocks, inline code, and auto-links.
  • Work with alignment, colors, highlight, fonts, HTML view, find and replace, and typewriter mode.
  • Turn the same note into a snippet if you fill in the shortcut field.

How reminders behave

SituationWhat NexoPad does
Single reminder completedClears the reminder and moves the note to the trash.
Recurring reminder completedCalculates the next date according to the daily, weekly, or monthly recurrence.
Notification snoozedLets you postpone it by 15 minutes.
Urgent note closed without actionIf it is still overdue, it alerts again in about 2 minutes.

Trash, permanent deletion, and floating sticky note

The notebook includes a trash view, full emptying, and permanent destruction. If you work in a team environment, permanently deleting shared content can affect the whole company or workspace, not just your user.

You can open a note as a floating sticky note to keep it visible while you work. That window saves changes automatically and has its own shortcuts such as Ctrl+Shift+C to copy everything and Alt+D to toggle dark mode.

Tip:If a note works as a living reference, open it as a sticky note. If it also needs to fire while typing, add a shortcut and that same note becomes reusable as a snippet.
