To create a new note, please click on the “down” icon near the “+” button in the toolbar, then choose “New Note”. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘T (or Shift+Ctrl+T on Windows or Ubuntu) to bring up the New Note panel.
Notes can also be set with a timestamp, and then they will can be used as “appointments”, which are time-sensitive items but don’t require a check-off action to mark as completed.
Similar to the New Task panel, the New Note panel can also take file attachments.
