MinkNote supports two clear note styles. Standard notes are for ideas that grow and change. Journal notes are for moments in time, automatically organised by date.
MinkNote gives you two simple ways to structure your thinking: Standard notes and Journal notes.
Standard notes are designed for content that evolves. They’re ideal for project plans, research, documentation, and long-form writing. You can revisit and refine them over time. The title is the main identifier, and the note lives wherever it fits best in your folder structure.
Journal notes, on the other hand, capture a specific moment. Their filenames are based on the current date and time, keeping entries naturally ordered. They’re perfect for daily logs, quick reflections, meeting notes, or progress updates. You can still give them a meaningful heading, but the timestamp keeps each entry grounded in context.
Use Standard notes when your ideas are developing. Use Journal notes when you want to record what’s happening now. Many workflows combine both: capture quickly in a Journal note, then move lasting insights into a Standard note as they take shape.
