CODEX

Everything the capture box understands.

tagging
<tag>

Folder tag. Assigns this entry to a folder. New tags go to the unassigned pool until you map them.

{time}

Temporal marker. Any {time} that resolves to a future date schedules a reminder — no extra flag needed. When the date arrives, the thought surfaces above the capture box.

\pattern

Sentiment / pattern counter. Tracks recurring themes across entries in a folder.

@person

People tag. Same engine as <tags> but kept in its own list — autocomplete shows persons separately from objects so the suggestion panel stays uncluttered. Maps to folders the same way: assign @mom to a folder and @mom-tagged thoughts surface there.

--folder

Direct-send to an existing folder. Stripped from the saved text. Autocompletes on entry.

Case-insensitive, de-duplicated per entry. Plain words are kept as-is.

commands
--reply

Reply to the active {remind} prompt on top of the capture box. The reply is saved as its own entry but links back to the original thought — in the Log it's right-aligned (like a chat bubble) and clickable, so a glance tells you it continues an earlier conversation with yourself.

--todo

Per-line modifier — turns that line into a checkbox in the log. Stripped from the saved text. Tap the box to mark done; multiple --todo lines per entry are allowed.

--draw

Full-screen drawing canvas. On its own, the sketch lands in the chronological log with no folder. Append -Name (case-insensitive) to send it straight to that folder.

--pin -folder

Pin the whole thought to the top of that folder's screen. Requires a -foldername (autocompletes — same trigger as --draw). One pin per folder; sending a new --pin to the same folder silently replaces the previous one. Unpin from the folder view or the sidebar card preview.

--folders

Go to folders.

--assign

Go to unassigned tags.

--settings

Go to settings.

--logout

Sign out.

--codex

Opens this page.

autocomplete

Type any trigger (< { \ @ --) to see suggestions from your history. Ranked by frequency and recency.

Tab or Enter to accept, Arrows to navigate, Esc to dismiss.

folders

User-created buckets. New tags stay unassigned until you file them from the folder sidebar's unassigned pile.

Naming: lowercase letters, digits, hyphens between words — e.g. side-project. The shape matches \pattern tokens, so a folder named side-project lines up with <side-project> in capture lines and with --draw -side-project.

Right-click any folder card (or long-press on touch) for rename / delete. Drag a card onto a category header to move it; drag it out to make it uncategorized.

import / export

Export → .csv: time, text, tags, patterns

Import → .csv with time + text columns. Extra columns (tags, patterns) auto-detected.

Flexible time parsing — ISO, US/EU dates, named months, time-only.
