Tags & Mentions

Mark topics and references that become entry filters

Tags & Mentions

Use #tags for topics and @mentions for people, places, projects, or anything else you want to revisit.

Add Markers to an Entry

Type a marker followed by one word:

Coffee with @sarah helped me think through the launch. #work #friendship

Marker names use letters, numbers, or underscores. A space ends the marker, so choose a short consistent name such as #mental_health when one word is not enough.

When They Become Available

Tags and mentions are extracted during entry analysis. When analysis is pending, the saved entry remains readable immediately and the new marker may not appear in the Entries filter menu until that background job finishes.

Open Entries → Filter entries and choose Tags or Mentions. Only values found in the current entry catalog are listed. Selected values appear as chips under the search field.

Completed entry insights also render tags and mentions as links back to the corresponding filtered Entries view.

Keep the Catalog Useful

  • Reuse the same spelling and capitalization.
  • Prefer a small set of meaningful topic tags.
  • Use mentions consistently for the same person or place.
  • Remove a filter chip or select Clear all when you want the complete catalog again.

The app does not currently offer tag autocomplete, bulk rename, merge, or an account-wide tag management screen. Edit affected entries when a marker needs to change.

Privacy

Tags and mentions are part of the journal entry and are scoped to the signed-in account. They are not social-network mentions and do not notify another person.
