Your first five minutes

Add a person, write a note about them, plan a task, and find it all again.

On this page
  1. Catch a thought

    Nifty opens on Today. Type into What's on your mind? at the top:

    • Press ↵ to add it as a task for today.
    • Press ⌘↵ to start a note with it.
  2. Add someone

    1. Choose the arrow beside New note at the top right, then New person (or press ⇧P).
    2. Type their name and choose Add person.

    Add a birthday or how you know them from their page. See People.

  3. Write a note about them

    1. Choose New note, or press ⇧N anywhere.
    2. Type a title, press ↵, and write.
    3. Type @ and the start of their name, then press ↵ to link them.
    4. Choose Done.

    The note now shows on their page too. Type # for a tag and ^ for a project the same way: see Mentions and tags.

  4. Find it again

    Press ⌘K (or /) and type a few letters of anything: a name, a note, a task. Press ↵ to open it. See Search.

  5. Make it yours

    Choose Nifty → Settings, then Appearance, to pick an accent colour and light or dark. See Settings.

Tip:

Most things have a key. They're all on Keyboard shortcuts, and buttons show theirs.
