Notes quickstart
Capture, organize, and find notes from chat or SMS. Notes are alfred_'s lightweight knowledge base.
Notes are for ideas, meeting takeaways, references — anything you’ll want to look up later but isn’t a task. They’re stored, searchable, and accessible from any alfred_ surface.
What you can do
- Capture by asking — “save a note: Sarah prefers async over meetings”
- Capture during conversation — “save this for later” while reviewing a thread
- Save URLs to notes — “save this article to my notes” → alfred_ fetches the page and saves the content
- Organize into folders — group by client, project, or topic
- Search across all notes — “find my note about the Acme proposal”
- Update or delete — by chat or directly in the notes panel
Asking alfred_ to save a note
Say what you want remembered. Examples:
- “Save a note: John’s birthday is March 12”
- “Note that Sarah prefers Loom videos over written updates”
- “Save: the Acme contract is due for renewal in October”
- “Take a note from this email” — alfred_ extracts the key points from the thread you’re viewing
Auto-save from web research
When alfred_ fetches a URL or runs a web search for you, you can save the result:
- “Save that article about LLM caching to my notes”
- “Pull the key points and save them”
Where notes show up
- Notes panel — full list, organized by folder
- Linked from threads / events — when a note relates to an email or meeting, alfred_ surfaces it inline
- Search — accessible via Cmd+K or chat
Notes vs tasks vs memory
- Notes — reference content you’ll look up later. Examples: meeting takeaways, references, snippets
- Tasks — things you need to do
- Memory — facts alfred_ should remember about you, your contacts, your preferences. See Memory
