Tags are words or phrases that describe the content of a note. In the Doxa application, they allow you to filter notes by tag.
+
Click in the tags field and enter the name of the tag (it will be saved with the note).
+
You can then search for a note using the tag in the magnifying glass field Filter notes by tag...
+
Editing and deleting
+
Inline: click on the note, edit the content and press Save now.
+
Modal: click on the ✎ icon next to the item for advanced editing in the modal window.
+
Deleting: the 🗑 icon next to the item — after confirmation, the note will be deleted.
+
Moving the order of notes
+
Use the ↑ / ↓ arrows on the items.
+
Or drag and drop items to the desired location — the insertion indicator will appear when dragging.
+
Switching the appearance
+
You will find a button for switching the appearance in the top menu. The application supports three modes:
+
+- Light — icon: ☀️
+- Dark — icon: 🌙
+- Respect system — icon: 🌓 — the application will follow the system choice (prefers-color-scheme) and will automatically switch if the system theme changes.
+
+
By clicking the button in the menu you can cycle between modes (Light → Dark → System). The selected option is saved in localStorage under the doxa_theme key and persists between pages and refreshes. If you want to reset the option, open the browser console and run: localStorage.removeItem('doxa_theme') or clear the storage in the developer tools.
+
Autosave
+
The application now automatically saves changes to notes locally while writing (autosave). In a regular browser, changes are saved to localStorage (doxa_notes_v1 key) without the need for manual saving — the data is saved after a short delay. If you run the application in Electron/Node mode, changes are written directly to the local file.
+
Save the JSON file manually as you go!!
+
Manual saving
+
Next to the editor you will find a Save Now button. Even though autosave saves continuously, the button is useful in the following cases:
+
+- Immediate save — will persist without waiting for autosave (useful before closing the application or if you want a quick confirmation that the changes are written).
+- Visual confirmation — after saving, the status "Saved" will be displayed, giving the user immediate feedback.
+- No download — the Save note button does not download the file; if you want to download JSON, use the Export JSON button.
+
+
To transfer data between devices, use the Export JSON button (which will download the doxa.json file), or run saveNotesToFile(true) from the console.
+
Import / Export
+
To import, click Import JSON and select a file. Supported formats:
+
+- Object with notes field: { "notes": [ ... ] }
+- Direct field: [ { ... }, { ... } ]
+
+
Export is now available via the Export JSON button (next to the Save button). The application also performs autosave locally — you won't lose anything if you forget to save manually. To download JSON via a script, you can also run saveNotesToFile(true) in the console.
+
+- Since version 26.07.04 Import/Export: the folder field is saved in JSON, backward compatible with older data (empty field).
+
+
Export to Markdown
+
You can export an individual note to Markdown.
+
The export is in the format názevPoznamky.md
+
Search (Filtration)
+
+- Filtering: the "📁 All folders" drop-down limits the list to only the selected folder.
+- Search: the field searches in the name, content, tags and folder name (fulltext).
+
+
Folders
+
+- Folders: fill in the "Folder" field for the note or write a line in the content in the form folder: Name (the field has native suggestions — a list of existing folders).
+- Assignments can also be edited manually in the Folder field; changes are saved automatically.
+
+
Security and backups
+
The default mode is local-first: data remains in your browser (localStorage) or a local file, the application does not send it itself.
+
Common problems
+
+- When opening via file://, fetching static JSON may fail — use a local server or Electron.
+- Transferring data between devices? Download JSON and import it on the second device.
+
+
+
Markdown
+
Editor uses Markdown
+
The editor works with Markdown syntax. All edits are saved as Markdown (plain text) — the preview shows the rendered HTML. Below are basic examples (paste them directly into the editor or use the buttons in the toolbar):
+
Bold: **bold text**
+Italic: *italic*
+Strikethrough: ~~strikethrough~~
+Inline code: `code`
+Code block:
+
+
console.log('hello')
+
Headings:
+# Heading H1
+## Heading H2
+### Heading H3
+List (bullets):
+- item 1
+- item 2
+Numbered list:
+1. first
+2. second
+Quote:
+> This is a quote
+Table:
+| Column 1 | Column 2 |
+| --- | --- |
+| cell 1 | cell 2 |
+| cell 3 | cell 4 |
+Image (reference URL):
+
+Link:
+[text](https://example.com)
+Task list:
+- [ ] not completed
+- [x] done
+
+
Important tips:
+
+- Click the toolbar buttons to insert the necessary Markdown tokens automatically.
+- Press Ctrl/Cmd+B for bold, Ctrl/Cmd+I for italic, and Ctrl/Cmd+` for inline code.
+- The Preview button toggles Markdown rendering; use it to verify the result.
+- The Table button (▦) inserts a table template and prompts you for a number of characters during insertion columns and rows.
+- Insert images as URLs — the app does not sync or upload images.
+- Markdown is portable: notes remain readable even without the app (export/import).
