A note isn't a wall of text. In NoteBrain every element of the document is an independent block: you add it, move it, change it, without getting in the way of your thoughts.
There are sixteen, split into four families. Let's go through them one by one.
1. Shaping your text
Subheading
Splits the document into sections. Give each topic a title and the note stops being a dense page: it becomes something you can navigate at a glance.
Paragraph
The basic block, where you actually write. Plain text, to explain, reason through things, copy down the lecture.
Quote
Highlights the sentence you can't forget: a definition, a rule, the professor's remark that will be on the exam.
Divider
A line that separates two parts. It says nothing, but it lets the document breathe.
2. Order, lists and data
Timeline
Events in sequence, one after another. Perfect for history, project phases or anything with a before and an after.
Numbered list
For everything that has an order: procedures, steps, rankings. If order matters, use this one.
Bulleted list
For ideas with no hierarchy. Jot the points down, then rearrange them.
Table
Rows and columns to compare things, put data in order and stop keeping it all in your head.
3. Media and visual data
Insert the document right into the note, instead of leaving it in some random folder.
Images
Photos, diagrams, screenshots: place them exactly where in the text they're needed.
Link
A useful web page, a tap away, without breaking the formatting of what you've written.
Chart
Turn numbers into a chart. Seeing a trend beats reading it, every time.
4. Advanced blocks
Code snippet
To write code properly, kept separate from the rest of the text.
Canva
Got a Canva project? Bring it into the note, without exporting and re-importing anything.
Formula
Math written properly. No more improvised symbols from the keyboard.
Mind map
Ideas connected to each other on a single map. For when a list can't show how concepts fit together.
«A note shouldn't just be written. It should be ready to be used.»
The secret is to stop thinking of the document as a sheet and start thinking of it as a stack of blocks. Add what you need, when you need it.
