Journals group related notes together, while folders add another layer of organisation. This simple hierarchy keeps your work tidy, flexible, and easy to navigate as it grows.
MinkNote organises your content using journals and folders. Journals act as high-level containers, helping you separate areas of your life or work. You might create journals for projects, personal notes, research, or writing.
Within each journal, you can create folders to organise notes more precisely. Folders are optional, but they’re helpful when a journal starts to grow. They let you break larger collections into focused sections without overcomplicating your structure.
This hierarchy mirrors how files are stored on your Mac. Everything remains transparent and easy to understand on disk. You can reorganise at any time by dragging notes between folders or journals, and the structure updates instantly.
Together, journals and folders give you clarity without rigidity. Start simple, and add structure only when you need it. Your system can grow naturally alongside your ideas.
