Tags are extracted automatically from #hashtags in your note text and let you filter across all buckets. Spote gives you two orthogonal ways to organize notes: buckets and tags. Buckets group notes into named folders. Tags cut across buckets and let you find related notes wherever they live. You can use one, both, or neither — Spote's semantic search works regardless. ## Buckets A bucket is a named folder. Every note belongs to exactly one bucket; if you don't pick one, the note lands in **Inbox** by default. To assign a bucket, use the bucket selector at the top of the editor. If the bucket you want doesn't exist yet, type its name and create it inline — no separate step required. All your buckets appear in the left sidebar. Clicking a bucket filters the note list to show only notes in that folder. Some example buckets to get you started: * **Inbox** — the default landing zone for quick captures * **Work** — meeting notes, decisions, action items * **Research** — reading notes and references * **Blog** — notes you want to publish publicly Place notes in a **Blog** bucket to publish them publicly via Spote's built-in blog feature. Any note in that bucket appears on your public blog page automatically. ## Tags Tags come from `#hashtag` syntax in your note body. Write `#projectname` anywhere in the text and "projectname" appears as a tag chip in the editor — Spote extracts it automatically when you save. Tags support letters, numbers, underscores, and international characters including Swedish å, ä, and ö. Tags are always stored in lowercase. **Example:** writing this sentence in a note — ``` Working on the #frontend refactor for the #payments module. ``` — creates two tags: `frontend` and `payments`. Tags are shown as chips in the editor so you can see at a glance what's been extracted. They also appear in the left sidebar as filters. ## Filtering Click any bucket or tag in the left sidebar to filter your note list. You can combine multiple buckets and tags at once — the list shows notes that match any of the selected buckets and any of the selected tags.
