DicaNote is for capturing quickly and organizing later. Your first note does not need to be perfect: a title, two lines and save already counts.

DicaNote home screen
Home with search, pinned notes and create shortcuts.

Create the note

  1. Open DicaNote.
  2. Tap + (yellow/blue, bottom-right) or Insert note.
  3. If a create menu opens, pick blank note, template, list or drawing — blank is fine the first time.
  4. Type a title you will recognize a week from now.
  5. Write the body.
  6. Tap save (disk icon) at the top if it appears — the app also protects drafts, but saving after a big change avoids surprises.
DicaNote create menu
The + may open options: note, template, checklist, drawing.

More create options: note, template, list or drawing.

The editor

DicaNote note editor
Title, body, formatting and bottom action bar.

Typical bottom bar:

  • T — text and formatting
  • Paperclip — attachments
  • Folder — categories
  • # — tags
  • Links — relations between notes
  • List — checklist

Markdown (optional)

In MD mode:

# Title
## Subtitle
- Item
- [ ] Task
**bold**

Switch between edit and preview if your version has both modes.

Organize without overdoing it

  • A large category (Work, Personal, Travel).
  • A tag only if you will reuse it (#urgent, #receipt).
  • Pin the note if it is the one for the week.

Tip: capture first. Category and tag come on the second pass, when the note is still useful.
