The list you lose every time you open a note
Reviewing twenty notes used to mean forty navigations, and a scroll position thrown away each time. Notes now open in a side panel over the list — here is why, and the two bugs that made it interesting.

Notez: A Note-Taking App Built for Developers
What Notez is and how it works: capture notes from the URL bar, terminal, AI tools, or web, then find them again by meaning.
The assignee who no longer works here
Adding an assignee field takes an afternoon. Deciding what happens to that assignment when the person leaves the workspace took longer — and it is the only part of this feature anyone will ever notice.
Four ways to get it back: undo, versions, the Bin, and the write that gets refused
Losing work in a notes app is a design failure, not user error. Notez has four separate safety nets operating on four different timescales — and each one exists because a different thing goes wrong.
Links that survive a rename
Most wiki-style note apps link by title, which means renaming a note quietly breaks every link into it. Notez links by id. Here is what that changes — for backlinks, for the graph, and for the day you finally rename that note.
Why your notes app cannot find your note
Keyword search matches the words you typed. You no longer remember the words you typed. Here is how hybrid search actually works in Notez — the two branches, the thresholds, and the parts we deliberately left simple.
The cleanup job that would have deleted your avatar
Adding workspace avatars meant adding an upload. The upload worked, the picture appeared, and a background job three days later would have quietly deleted it. Here is the flag we forgot.
Sharing without the merge conflict
Notez workspaces can now hold more than one person. We skipped real-time co-editing on purpose — here is what we built instead, and why refusing a write beats merging one.
Capture, faster: Enter creates, paste saves
Three changes to how Notez captures: Enter in the search box creates the note, ⌘V saves your clipboard on the spot, and every capture comes with Undo. Here is why.
Moving in from Notion or Evernote
Notez imports Notion and Evernote exports with hierarchy, tags, attachments, timestamps, and inter-note links intact — and you can undo the whole thing.
Beyond folders: how Notez organizes notes
Notez has no folders. It has tags, nesting, boards, and eleven types of custom properties — four overlapping systems that let a note be in many places at once.
Your notes, answerable: how AI chat works in Notez
Notez AI chat runs 29 tools on your workspace: it searches, reads, edits and files your notes. What it reaches, what it can't do, and its limits on each plan.
