iPhone Interface
iPhone has no room for three columns, so Jotaid folds the same features into one screen plus a drawer. Everything you can reach on Mac is here; it just lives in a different place — the three views are reached through the drawer behind the logo in the top-left corner.
Quick Note — the Launch Screen
Jotaid opens on Quick Note, not on a list. It's a bare capture screen: a title, a body, a tag field, and a save button that stores the note and immediately clears itself for the next one. The full app is already loaded behind it — save or dismiss and you land in your notes. See Quick Capture.
The Title Bar
A floating glass capsule sits at the top of every main screen:
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| Jotaid logo | Opens the left drawer |
| Project name | Opens that project's note in a sheet (the Inbox has none, so it stays a plain label) |
| THEMES / NODES | In Theme and Node view, opens that view's list as a sub-page |
| + | In the note list, returns to Quick Note to capture something new |
The Left Drawer
Tap the logo — or swipe the dimmed area to close it again. Top to bottom:
- Three view icons — Note, Node and Theme. Tap one and the drawer closes on its own.
- PROJECTS — Inbox plus your projects; tap to switch scope, or add a new project (a Pro feature).
- SETTINGS — at the bottom.
The Pull-Down Panel
The note list has no visible search bar. Pull the list down and a panel appears above it holding:
- The NOTES / TRASH heading with a live count — tap it to switch to deleted notes
- A search field, scoped to the project or theme you're currently in
- The filter funnel, which opens View Options: sort by name / created / modified, ascending or descending, and filter by theme, node or tag. The funnel is highlighted whenever anything is off its default, and Reset in the sheet's top-left clears it.
The Note List
Each row shows a title, a preview and its metadata. Touch replaces the Mac's menus:
| Gesture | Result |
|---|---|
| Tap | Opens the note full-screen |
| Swipe left | Delete, or Move to another project or theme |
| Long-press | Enters multi-select — a batch action bar appears for moving or deleting several notes at once |
With the drawer open, tap the dimmed area beside it to close it.
The Note Page
Opening a note replaces the screen. A floating glass bar sits on top of it: a back capsule on the left, and a ⋯ menu on the right with Preview / Edit, Smart Format (AI formatting), Note Info, and Theme Summary on project notes.
Note Info opens a bottom sheet with the same content the Mac shows in its right-edge panel — the note's nodes, its potential links, and the notes it's related to.
Theme View
The canvas is the full screen and everything is a gesture: long-press a card for its menu (colour, delete, move). The floating buttons on the right recentre the board, run Tidy Up, and add a card.
The capsule at the bottom is both a readout and a control: it counts loose cards, themes and grouped cards — and tapping it opens the canvas filter panel. To create a theme, open the THEMES sub-page from the title bar; new themes are created there, by hand or with Smart Theme.
Node View
Node view opens on the whole network. A segmented capsule floats at the bottom to switch between Graph and Matrix; tapping any node — or any matrix cell — opens a bottom sheet with its details, which on Mac would be the hover panel.
The NODES entry in the title bar lists your concept nodes with their reference counts. Tap one to open its detail sheet, which carries three tabs:
- Content — the node's own note
- Backlinks — every note that mentions it
- Relations — its co-occurrences, predictions and AI suggestions
The title bar's menu also holds Smart Node, the AI-assisted way to draft a new concept node.
Settings
Reached from the bottom of the drawer. The top of the page shows your Pro status (or an unlock card), followed by four groups:
| Group | Contents |
|---|---|
| General | Appearance, interface language, node appearance, import & paste |
| Intelligence | AI API keys, and which AI behaviours are on |
| Sync | iCloud sync status and diagnostics |
| Storage | Storage usage and cleanup |
