Tags and Filing

Computer-side organization. Tag a jot with a label, and its content gets filed to a folder on your filesystem.

How it works

Tags are labels you create in the computer app's side panel. When you tag a jot, its text, images, drawings, files, and audio are copied to a folder on your hard drive:

{tagRootPath}/{tagName}/

The tag root path is yours to configure (default Documents/JotBunker Tags/). Each filed item gets a timestamped filename, for example 20260412143022-filename.ext. Images are copied as-is, drawings are saved as PNG, audio stays as .m4a, files are copied, and text becomes a .txt file.

Tag management

Side panel

The tag list lives in the left side panel. From top to bottom:

TAGS header with an info tooltip.
Add tag. An input field ("New tag...") plus an ADD button. Enter also adds.
Search. An input field ("Search tags...") plus a SEARCH/CLEAR button. Filters the tag list in real time and shows "{n} of {total} tags" when filtering.
Tag list. Scrollable. Favorites sort to the top; within each group, alphabetical. Click a tag to select it as the active filing destination. Click again or press Escape to deselect.
MANAGE button. Opens the Manage Tags dialog (see below).
Save-to-tag button (pinned at the bottom). Shows where the currently active list or scratchpad would be saved:

SAVE {LIST | LOCKED LIST | SCRATCHPAD}
{CATEGORY NAME}
to {selected tag name}

When no tag is selected, it shows "SELECT A TAG TO SAVE" (disabled). It is hidden when you are on the Jots tab with no tag selected.

Manage Tags dialog

Opens from the MANAGE button. Shows all tags in alphabetical order. For each tag:

Heart icon. Toggle favorite on or off. Quicksave is always favorited and cannot be toggled.
Tag label. Shown with red strikethrough if marked for deletion.
Delete icon. Mark or unmark for deletion. Quicksave cannot be deleted.

Changes are batched; nothing applies until you click APPLY. CANCEL discards them. The APPLY button shows the deletion count when tags are marked, for example "APPLY (2 deletions)".

Deleting a tag removes the label from JotBunker. It does NOT delete the filed content from your filesystem.

A Quicksave tag exists by default, is always favorited, and cannot be deleted.

What gets filed

When you file a jot to a tag:

Jot text becomes {timestamp}-{filename}.txt.
Each image becomes {timestamp}-image_{n}.{ext}.
Each audio recording becomes {timestamp}-audio_{n}.m4a.
Each file attachment becomes {timestamp}-{originalFilename}.
Drawings become {timestamp}-drawing.png.

These are plain files on your filesystem. You can search them, back them up, or feed them into any knowledge management system you want.

Computer-only

Tags exist only on the computer. The phone does not know about tags; tagging is a filing layer that sits on top of the sync and download system.
