Editor

Every piece of text in Azynote (notes, OnePagers, anything you type in a session) lives in the same Markdown editor. One tool for working documents and polished outputs.

Markdown support

The editor renders standard Markdown live as you type:

  • Headings (# through ######)
  • Bold, italic, inline code
  • Bullet and numbered lists, nested as deep as you need
  • Block quotes with >
  • Code blocks with language syntax highlighting
  • Tables with pipes and dashes (GitHub Flavored Markdown)
  • Links and images
  • Horizontal rules (---)

Task list syntax (- [ ]) renders but does not produce interactive checkboxes. No Mermaid, math, or Excalidraw support in-editor.

Editing a note

Inside a session, click a note in the file switcher at the top of the editor to open it. Notes render as you type. Markdown characters stay visible, and headings, lists, and formatting apply inline. There is no separate preview mode.

Editing a OnePager

OnePagers default to a polished reading view. Markdown syntax is hidden, the document looks like the final output.

Press Cmd+E to switch to source edit mode. The raw Markdown becomes visible and editable. Press Cmd+E again (or Esc) to return to the reading view.

This two-mode behavior is deliberate. OnePagers are polished outputs meant to be read, but they still need to be editable when the AI output needs a tweak or you want to restructure a section by hand.

The file switcher

Inside a session, the editor shows a file switcher dropdown at the top. It lists every editable file in the session (notes and OnePagers). Click a name to open it. Click + to add a new note.

Hover a file name and a ⋯ menu appears with:

  • Rename
  • Convert (see below)
  • Delete

Transcripts are also part of the session but are read-only in the editor.

Convert between Note and OnePager

Every file in the switcher has a small type icon next to its name (a document icon for notes, a sparkles icon for OnePagers). Click the icon, or use the Convert option in the ⋯ menu, to toggle the file between a Note and a OnePager.

The conversion is instant and one-click. No confirmation dialog.

When to convert:

  • OnePager to Note. You created something through Quick Capture that defaulted to a OnePager, but what you actually wanted was a raw note. Or the Chat generated a OnePager for you and you would rather keep the body as an open note to rework. Convert to a Note to strip the polished structure and keep only the content.
  • Note to OnePager. A note grew into something worth formalizing. Convert to a OnePager so it shows up in the OnePager timeline and can be regenerated, exported, and shared like any other.

Conversions are undoable: the editor keeps a full undo stack for the current file.

Inline AI instructions

Drop instructions directly in your Markdown and have the AI fill them in.

Single-line: #!

Type a line starting with #! followed by what you want:

#! summarize the conversation above into three action items

Put your cursor on that line and press Cmd+Enter. Azynote replaces the #! ... line with the AI's output.

Block: #!! ... !!#

For longer prompts or when you want to group context with the instruction, open a block with #!! and close it with !!#:

#!!
Take the notes below and rewrite them as a customer-facing email.
Keep it under 150 words, friendly tone, no jargon.

- Customer: Acme
- Issue: SSO blocker preventing pilot rollout
- Next step: workshop on Tuesday
!!#

Same trigger. Put your cursor anywhere inside the block and press Cmd+Enter. The entire #!! ... !!# block (markers included) is replaced with the AI's output.

Good to know

  • Instructions work in both Notes and OnePagers.
  • The AI replaces the instruction text when it responds. Use Cmd+Z to bring it back if you want to tweak and retry.
  • The AI knows which session you are in when it processes an instruction. Write the instruction as a self-contained prompt for best results.
  • Unclosed #!! blocks (no !!# at the end) are left as plain text. Nothing is executed.
