Organize Everything with Tags & Pages

Tags & Pages let you connect anything in Keepsake — notes, tasks, entries, contacts — into flexible projects. There's no upfront setup. Just type #project or [[Project Name]] and the connections form automatically. It's the simplest way to organize without over-organizing.

How tags work

A tag is a keyword that connects related content. Type it anywhere — in a note, a task, an entry — and everything tagged the same way becomes linked.
1

Type # or [[ to create a tag

Use #tag-name for hashtag-style tags or [[Tag Name]] for wiki-style links. Both work the same way — choose the syntax you prefer.

2

The tag is created automatically

If the tag doesn't exist yet, it's created on the spot. No need to define tags in advance.

3

Click on a tag to see its page

Every tag has a page that shows all connected content: notes, tasks, entries, and contacts — everything in one place.

Tip

Tags auto-complete as you type. After typing # or [[, your existing tags appear for quick selection. This helps you stay consistent and avoid duplicates.

Tag pages: your project hubs

Each tag has a dedicated page that works like a project hub. It shows everything connected to that tag, and you can add content directly from the page.
1

Navigate to a tag page

Click on any tag anywhere in the app to open its page. You'll see all linked notes, tasks, entries, and contacts.

2

Add content from the page

Create new tasks or entries directly from a tag page. The tag is pre-filled automatically — no need to type it again.

3

Add a description

Each tag page can have a rich description. Use it for project goals, meeting notes, or any information you want to keep front and center.

Tip

Long descriptions can be collapsed with a "Show more / Show less" button. The collapsed state is remembered for each page.

Focus mode for writing

When you need to concentrate on writing a page description, Focus mode gives you a distraction-free full-screen experience.
1

Enter Focus mode

Click the expand icon on a tag page description to enter a calming, full-screen writing space.

2

Write without distraction

Your changes are auto-saved after a few seconds of pause. A QuickNote bar stays available at the top if a thought pops up.

3

Exit when done

Press Cmd+Enter to save and close, or Escape to close. Your writing is safe either way.

Shortcut

Cmd+Enter to save and close Focus mode

Pin your favorite pages

Keep your most important projects easily accessible by adding them to your favorites.
1

Star a page

Click the star icon on any tag page to add it to your favorites.

2

Access favorites from the sidebar

Your favorite pages appear directly in the sidebar menu for quick access — one click and you're there.

3

Browse all pages

A dedicated view lists all your pages with the number of linked items for each one.

Tag your notes for organization

The most common use of tags is in QuickNotes. Tag a note as you write it, and it's instantly organized.
1

Write a note with tags

Example: "Meeting notes: discussed budget for [[Q1 Planning]]. Need to follow up with #marketing team."

2

Find the note later

Open the "Q1 Planning" page or the "marketing" tag to find this note alongside all related content.

Tip

You can edit a note's tags after creation. From the inbox, click to edit tags with auto-complete suggestions.

Tag your tasks

Tags work in task titles and descriptions too. This lets you see all tasks for a project on the tag page.
1

Add a tag to a task

Type #project-name or [[Project Name]] in the task title or description. The task will appear on the tag page.

2

View project tasks

Open the tag page to see all tasks linked to that project — completed and pending — alongside notes and entries.

Merge duplicate tags

Accidentally created two similar tags? Merge them into one without losing any content.
1

Open the tag page

Navigate to the tag you want to merge (the one you want to remove).

2

Click "Merge with..."

Find the merge option next to the delete button. Select the destination tag.

3

Everything transfers automatically

All contacts, tasks, notes, and entries move to the destination tag. References like #old-tag and [[old tag]] are updated automatically.

Tip

Merging is one-way. The source tag is removed and all its content moves to the destination. Choose your destination carefully.
