Tags & gather

Write a #tag straight into it — #dogfood, #48pages, #idea. Tags are single words (letters, numbers, and hyphens), coloured in the accent so they stand out, and they autocomplete as you type against tags you've used before. A scrap can wear as many as you like.

Click a #tag on the page, or open ⌘K and type #tag. You'll see every scrap on the page and every filed entry that wears it — search runs on your device, like everything else.

Yes. Add a "-tag" to exclude it: "#dogfood -sent" shows everything tagged #dogfood except what you've marked #sent. When you search a tag, there's also a one-tap "hide #sent" toggle that does the same. Gather and mark-sent then act on exactly what's shown.

From a tag's search results, "gather" pulls every scrap wearing that tag out of wherever it's scattered and lays them down together as one block at the next open space, under a dated heading (e.g. "Gathered dogfood on Jul 27, 2026") — a way to compile loose thoughts into one cohesive page. It's for exactly the moment you want all your #dogfood or #idea scraps in one place to read, copy, or hand off.

No — and this matters. Gather doesn't quietly relocate your writing; it works like roll, file, and tear. Each scrap it moves leaves a one-line ⤿ gathered scar where it used to be. So gathering costs a little ink and the book still fills toward its end — you can't gather your way to an immortal book. The gathered copies land as normal scraps you can keep editing, rolling, or filing.

Tag them #sent. It's an ordinary tag, but it renders struck-through like a torn scar so a handled scrap reads as done at a glance — and gather skips #sent scraps, so once you've sent a batch on it won't gather them again. From a tag's results you can mark the whole batch #sent in one step.
