Inbox

The Inbox is for notes that have been captured but not yet organized.

Why It Exists

Fast capture should not require perfect structure. The Inbox gives you a place to put incomplete notes, then process them later.

The Inbox workflow is optional. Turn it off in Settings > Workflow if you prefer every note to appear organized by default.

Organizing Inbox Notes

When reviewing the Inbox:

  1. Give the note a clear H1.
  2. Set its type.
  3. Add status, dates, or URL if useful.
  4. Add relationships with wikilinks or frontmatter fields.
  5. Move it into a folder only if the folder adds value.

Healthy Inbox Habit

Keep the Inbox small enough that it can be reviewed in one focused pass. Tolaria works best when capture is fast and organization is deliberate.
