Every note you write in Bloc starts with a single action — creating it. From there you can give it a title, attach a tag to keep things organized, and manage it from the sidebar or search palette at any time. This page walks you through the full lifecycle of a note, from first creation to deletion.

​
Create a note

1

Open the sidebar

Make sure the left sidebar is visible. If it’s collapsed, click the menu icon in the top-left corner to expand it.
2

Click Create note

Click the Create note button at the top of the sidebar. A blank note opens immediately in the editor.
Notes save automatically as you type — you never need to press a save button. Watch the sync indicator in the note header to confirm your changes are uploaded.

​
Set a title

Click the large Untitled area at the very top of the editor — above the tag area — and type your note’s title. The title field accepts up to 200 characters and updates the sidebar entry in real time as you type. Press ↓ or Enter from the title field to move straight to the tag input, or press ↓ again from the tag area to jump into the note body.

​
Add a tag

1

Click the tag area

Just below the title, click the Add tag… input. It sits inline in the editor header.
2

Type your tag

Type a tag name. Tags are plain text and support up to 50 characters. Bloc does not enforce any special format — use whatever naming convention works for you.
3

Press Enter to confirm

Press Enter (or tap Done on mobile) to attach the tag to the note. The tag appears as a chip next to the input.
To remove an existing tag, click the × on the tag chip, or focus the chip with the keyboard and press Backspace or Delete.
Each note can have one tag. If you want to change a tag, remove the current one first and then type a new one.

​
Rename or delete from the sidebar

Hover over any note in the sidebar to reveal the ⋯ (ellipsis) icon on the right side of the entry. Click it to open a menu with Rename and Delete options.
  • Rename — selecting it turns the note title in the sidebar into an inline text field. Edit the title directly and press Enter to confirm, or press Escape to cancel without changes.
  • Delete — selecting it opens a confirmation dialog. Click Delete to confirm. Deletion is permanent — deleted notes cannot be recovered.
You can also rename or delete notes directly from the search palette — open it with Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux), find the note, and click the ⋯ menu on the result row. Renaming from the search palette opens a dialog with the current title pre-filled; edit it and click Save or press Enter.
The number of notes you can create depends on your plan. Free accounts support up to 20 notes; Pro accounts (RM 10/mo) support up to 50 notes. When you reach the limit, delete an existing note first or upgrade your plan to create more.
