# The web app

Hjarni on hjarni.com, in any modern browser. Everything is one click from the sidebar, and Search is one key away. This page is the map; each part links to its own guide.

## The sidebar

![Hjarni on the web: the sidebar with Search, Inbox, Favorites, the folders Getting started, Knowledge, Life and Work, then AI instructions, Tags and More; on the right the Dashboard with five recent notes.](https://hjarni.com/docs/web-dashboard.png)

The sidebar on the left, the Dashboard on the right.

Top

The logo takes you to the Dashboard; the pencil starts a new note. Then **Search**, the **Inbox** with the number of notes not in a folder yet, and **Favorites**, the notes you starred.

Folders

Your folders as a tree. In a team, your own are under **Personal** and each team has its own section; folders others share with you are under **Shared with me**. Drag a folder to reorder it among its neighbours. See [Containers and tags](https://hjarni.com/docs/containers-and-tags).

Below the folders

**AI instructions** (how your AI should work with your notes; see [Custom AI instructions](https://hjarni.com/docs/ai-instructions)) and **Tags**. **More** opens the **Graph** of linked notes, the **Archive** and the **Trash**, which keeps deleted notes for 30 days.

Bottom

Your plan, and your name: click it for Settings, the docs, What's new, Help & feedback and Sign out.

Sections stay open or closed the way you left them. Too narrow or too wide? **Settings › General › Appearance** sets the sidebar width for this browser.

## Dashboard

Where you land after signing in. **Recent notes** lists what you or your AI changed last, with your **Favorites** above it once you star a note. While you set up, a card at the top walks you through connecting your AI; after that it shows at most one suggestion at a time, which you can dismiss.

New here? [Getting started](https://hjarni.com/docs/getting-started) takes you from the first note to your AI reading it.

## Search

Press **⌘K** on a Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows from any page, or click **Search** in the sidebar. Results update as you type. Hjarni looks in titles, summaries, the text of your notes, tags and folder names.

- In a team, narrow the results to **Personal** or one team.
- The most recently changed notes come first; sort by **Oldest** or **Title** instead.
- An empty search lists every note, which makes it the place to sort through everything at once.
- The text inside attached files is not searched, but your AI can read those files when it opens the note.

## Several notes at once

Note lists, in the Dashboard, the Inbox, Favorites and Search, have a box in front of each note. Tick a few and a bar appears with **Move to…**, **Archive** and **Delete**. It is the quickest way to empty the Inbox: search, tick, move.

For folders, click **Select** next to Folders in the sidebar. Deleted notes and folders wait in the Trash for 30 days; see [Note history and Trash](https://hjarni.com/docs/note-history).

## Settings

General

How to connect an assistant, the AI assistants connected now (disconnect any of them), and [agent and API tokens](https://hjarni.com/docs/agent-tokens).

## Keyboard shortcuts

| Mac | Windows | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ⌘K | Ctrl+K | Search, from any page. While you write a note it inserts a link instead. |
| ⌘S | Ctrl+S | Save the note you are editing. |
| Esc | Esc | Close a menu; leave a note you opened for editing but did not change. |

Click anywhere in a note's text to start editing at that spot. Formatting, headings, lists and links have their own keys while you write; they are all in [The note editor](https://hjarni.com/docs/note-editor#shortcuts).

## Browsers and phones

Hjarni runs in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge: Safari 16.4, Chrome 111 and Firefox 113 or later. An older browser gets a page asking you to update. On a phone's browser the sidebar folds into a menu behind ☰, and Hjarni suggests the free app, which also has the share sheet and a New note widget.

The web app is in English and has a light theme. To save pages from Chrome in one click, add the [Web Clipper](https://hjarni.com/docs/web-clipper).

Common questions

## FAQ

Not yet. The web app and the apps have a light theme only.

Open the Inbox or Search, tick the notes, and choose Move to… in the bar that appears. Archive and Delete are there too.

**Which browsers does Hjarni support?**

Current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox: Safari 16.4, Chrome 111 and Firefox 113 or later. An older browser is asked to update.
