Adding Tags

You can add tags to any dump, task, or note to keep them organized. Tags are color-coded automatically based on their name, making it easy to spot related items at a glance.

How to tag:

Click the # Tags button in the input bar
Type a new tag name or select an existing one
Press Enter to add the tag

Tag Management

Tags are reusable across all your content. When you type in the tag selector, Brain Dump automatically suggests existing tags to help you stay consistent.

Create: Just type a new name and hit enter.
Search: Start typing to filter your existing tags.
Remove: Click the 'x' on a selected tag to remove it.

The tag explorer

Open the Tags tab in the sidebar (or press 6) and your tags appear as folders, each one tinted with its own colour. Click a folder and it opens to reveal everything carrying that tag as a single compact line — no cards, no clutter.

Inside a folder:

Dumps, ideas and tasks open an editor right there in the tree.
Notes open in the full-page note editor, the same as everywhere else.
The ⋮ menu pins or deletes an item without opening it.

With a long list of tags, the filter box at the top narrows the folders by name, and the button beside it expands or collapses everything at once. Anything you have not tagged yet collects in an Untagged folder at the bottom, and the folders you leave open stay open next time you come back.

Visual Organization

Each tag gets a deterministic color generated from its name. This means the tag "#project" will always be the same color, no matter where you use it, helping your brain build visual associations quickly.
