Tags are a flexible way to organize your notes alongside categories. While a note can only belong to one category, it can have multiple tags. Think of categories as folders and tags as labels—a note lives in one folder but can have many labels attached to it.

Overview

Understanding Tags vs. Categories

Feature	Categories	Tags
Notes per container	A note belongs to one category	A note can have multiple tags
Purpose	Primary organization (folders)	Cross-cutting labels
Hierarchy	Supports subcategories	Flat structure

Tags are useful when a note relates to multiple topics. For example:

A recipe in your "Cooking" category can be tagged with "vegetarian", "quick-meals", and "favorites"
A meeting note in "Work" can have tags like "ProjectX", "urgent", and "follow-up"
A packing list in "Travel" can be tagged with "summer" and "europe" for easy reference on future trips
