Editing an entry
Open an entry to rename it, edit its properties, write a body, and delete it from one place.
Every entry has a detail page — open it by tapping the entry's title on the Chat board. The page reads top-to-bottom like a Notion page: a breadcrumb in the top bar, a large title, your properties, any trackers, and a free-form body at the bottom. Edits autosave.
What you'll see
- Breadcrumb — the top bar shows a slash-separated trail of where this page lives, like a route, each step with its own icon: the Collection first (icon + name), then this entry's title —
📅 Calendar event / 📅 Team standup. The Collection is the bolder anchor; click it to jump to the Collection's page. The event time follows after a·(it's a date, not a page, so it gets a dot rather than a slash); click it to change when this happened. If this entry is a sub-entry — a page nested inside another entry — the trail grows to show its parent in between, with the parent's Collection as the root:📅 Calendar event / 📅 Team standup / ✅ Action item. Each/segment is clickable, so you can always step back up to where this page sits. - Title — large, editable. By default it shows the Collection's name (e.g. "Push-ups"). Type anything to rename this specific entry — "Morning push-ups," "Set after coffee," whatever. What you type also updates the last step of the breadcrumb live.
- Icon — the emoji to the left of the title. By default it's the Collection's emoji, so every Push-ups entry shows 💪 without you doing anything. Click it to pick a different emoji, icon, or your own image (upload one or paste a link) for this one entry — handy for making a standout day jump out of the feed. There's also a Generate tab: describe the icon you want in a sentence, or hit Create from page contents and the AI designs one from the page's title and text. You get a preview first — Use icon to keep it, Try again to reroll. The breadcrumb updates to match. To go back to the Collection's emoji, open the picker and choose Remove. Change the Collection's emoji later and every entry that's still on the default follows along; ones you've given their own icon keep it.
- Properties — the structured fields you defined on this Collection (reps, weight, mood, etc.). Listed as
[icon] [label] [value]rows. Click a value to edit it. - Trackers — Stopwatch and Timer properties get their own card-style blocks below the properties.
Managing properties on the page
The properties list works like a Notion page: hover any row and a small ⠿ grip fades in on the left.
- Drag to reorder. Press and hold the grip and drag the row to a new spot. Properties are shared by the whole Collection, so the order you set here is the same order everyone sees on every entry of this Collection — reordering isn't per-entry.
- Click the grip for its menu:
- Rename — change the property's name everywhere it's used.
- Visibility on this page — choose Always show (the default), Hide when empty (tuck it away until it has a value), or Always hide.
- On card / Not on card · edit card layout — a shortcut that tells you at a glance whether this property shows on the entry's feed card, and jumps straight to the Collection's Properties tab to change it. See Customizing the card.
- Delete from collection… — removes the property from every entry in the Collection, not just this one. If any entry already has a value in it, a confirmation dialog tells you how many entries are affected and explains that the property and its values move to Trash — restorable from there, and gone for good only once you empty Trash. If nothing has a value in it yet, it deletes instantly with an Undo toast.
Add a property to the whole Collection with the + Add a property button under the list — same effect as adding one from the Collection's Properties tab.
Hidden properties collapse. Any property set to Always hide, or set to Hide when empty and currently empty, tucks itself under an "N hidden properties" line at the bottom of the list. Click it to reveal them — once expanded, a hidden property is just as editable as any visible one. Start typing in one and it stays put for the rest of your visit, even if it would otherwise disappear; it re-collapses the next time you open the entry, if it's still empty or hidden. Picking a visibility from the menu applies right away.
Pages are properties too. A Page property shows up in the list like any other, with a "Shown below ↓" cell — click it to jump to that page's writing area further down. The grip menu works the same (rename, visibility, delete), and hiding a Page hides its writing area along with the row. A Collection can have several Pages; each gets its own titled section on the entry, in the same order as the property list — drag the rows to rearrange them.
- Body — a full-width, Notion-style block editor at the bottom. Write anything: a note, a story, a long reflection. Each paragraph, heading, list, or toggle is a block: on a computer, hover it for the
⋮⋮handle to drag and reorder (or nest inside a toggle), plus a+beside it, and press+or type/for the command menu (headings, lists, to-do, quote, code, toggle). On a phone you get a toolbar above the keyboard instead — see On your phone below. Either way, type@or[[to link to another collection or entry inline. Every Collection has one body automatically.
Your browser tab follows along, too: while an entry is open, the tab shows that entry's name and its emoji as the little tab icon — so a pinned or duplicated tab is easy to tell apart at a glance. Rename the entry and the tab updates live; leave the page and the tab returns to normal.
Autosave, no buttons
There's no "Save" button. Edits save themselves about half a second after you stop typing — instantly, on your device first, then sync to your other devices in the background. You can keep working, or close the tab, without waiting on the network. The top bar shows the status:
Saving…— your change is being written.Saved— it's safe to close the tab.Couldn't save— a rare hiccup the app couldn't recover from after retrying on its own. A toast tells you why; your text is still right there in the editor, so just keep going and it'll save again.
It works offline. Because your data lives on your device, edits save even with no connection — they queue up and sync the moment you're back online. A small icon in the page's top bar shows the sync state: it's invisible when everything's in sync, and gently pulses while changes are still on their way — hover or tap it for details.
Changing when it happened — from the card
You don't have to open an entry to fix its time. On the Chat board, every card shows when it was logged as a small date centred just above it ("now", "24m", "5d", "May 3"). Tap that date and a little popover opens: pick a new date and time, then Save.
Logged today but it actually happened yesterday? Move it, and the whole log moves with it:
- Stopwatch and Timer sessions shift too. If the entry tracked time, its sessions slide to the new date keeping their exact lengths — your "51m 37s" stays 51m 37s, it just happened then instead of now. (The popover reminds you with a small "sessions move with it" note.)
- Sub-entries come along. If the entry owns sub-entries (a dish's ingredients, a workout's sets), they move to the new time as well — the whole composed log shifts at once.
The card then slides to its new spot in the timeline, since the feed is ordered by when things happened. The time is picked to the minute; saving without changing anything leaves the entry exactly as it was.
Deleting an entry
Tap the ⋯ button in the top right of the page → Delete entry. The entry moves to Trash and you're sent back to the Chat board. A toast appears with an Undo button — tap it to bring the entry right back. You can also restore it later from the Trash sidebar item.
A note on the body
The body is yours. It doesn't show up in the Chat feed — the feed stays scannable. Whatever you put in the body lives on the entry's detail page, ready when you come back.
Linking to another page
Type @ in the body to link another page, the same way you would in Notion. Start typing the name of an Entry or Collection, then choose a result from the dropdown. Kaizendex inserts a small inline link with that page's icon and title.
Use this when a note points somewhere else: "I did a @Kettlebell workout", "Today I learned about @Noiton landing page", or "This reflection belongs with @Diary". Click the link later and that entry or Collection page opens immediately.
If you just want a literal @, press Escape or keep typing normally. Email addresses like me@example.com do not open the page picker.
Slash commands
Inside the body, press / to open a small menu of formatting and insert commands — Notion-style. The menu opens when / is the first character on a line or comes right after a space. (path/to/file and fractions like 3/4 don't trigger it.)
Start typing to filter the list. You can search by name (heading, quote) or by short aliases (h1, h2, ul, ol, todo, hr, ---). Move the selection with the up/down arrows, commit with Enter, or click an item with the mouse. Press Escape — or just keep typing past the slash with a space — to close the menu without changing anything.
What's in the menu:
- Turn into: Heading 1 (
h1), Heading 2 (h2), Heading 3 (h3), Bullet list (ul), Numbered list (ol), To-do list (todo), Quote, Code block, Toggle (>). - Insert: Divider (
hr,---), Table (a fresh 3×3 with a header row). - Format: Bold (
b), Italic (i), Strikethrough (strike), Inline code.
The block commands ("Turn into") convert the current line into that block type. The format commands wrap any text you have selected — or, with no selection, set the format active for the next thing you type. Everything you create here saves and reloads cleanly.
Formatting toolbar
Select any text and a small floating toolbar appears above it — Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Inline code, and Highlight. Click a button to toggle that style on the selection. The usual keyboard shortcuts work too (⌘B, ⌘I, ⌘U).
On your phone
The hover handle, the + button, and the / menu all need a mouse, so on a phone the body editor gives you a toolbar that sits right above the keyboard instead. It stays put the whole time you're typing.
- Pick a block type. The toolbar shows a row of blocks — Text, H1, H2, H3, Bulleted, Numbered, To-do, Toggle, Quote, Code, Divider, and more. Scroll the row sideways to reach the rest. Tap one to turn the current line into that block (or start a new one) — no need to type
/. - Format selected text. Select some text and the same bar switches to Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Code, and Clear. Tap to toggle; an active style stays highlighted. Let go of the selection and the bar switches back to the block types. Your selection and the keyboard never disappear when you tap a button.
- Linking still works. Type
@or[[to drop in a link to another collection or entry, exactly like on a computer.
Reordering blocks by dragging is a computer feature for now — on a phone, use a block's type controls to restructure your note.
Drag and Turn into
Once you've written a few blocks, hover over any one of them. A small ⋮⋮ handle fades in to the left of the block. The handle is the entry point to two affordances Notion users will recognise:
- Drag anywhere. Press and hold the handle, then drag. A ghost of the block follows your cursor and a blue line shows where it will land. You can drop a block almost anywhere — reorder it at the top level or drop it inside an open toggle. (Hovering a collapsed toggle while dragging pops it open so you can drop inside.)
- Click to open a small menu. Click the handle and a popover appears with two options:
- Turn into… — convert this block to a different type without retyping it. Pick from Paragraph, Heading 1/2/3, Bullet list, Numbered list, To-do list, Quote, or Code block. If the block is a list with multiple items, "Turn into Paragraph" splits each item into its own paragraph.
- Delete block — removes the whole block in one go (undoable with
⌘Z/Ctrl+Z).
If you're keyboard-first, ⌘/ on Mac (Ctrl+/ elsewhere) opens the same Turn-into menu wherever your cursor is — no need to grab the handle.
Pasting images
Copy a screenshot, an image from a website, or anything on your clipboard that's an image, then paste with ⌘V (Mac) / Ctrl+V (Windows / Linux) into the body. The image appears immediately — there's no upload progress bar blocking you, no "wait while we send this to the server" pause. Just paste and keep typing.
A small Uploading… caption sits under the image while it syncs in the background. Once that disappears, the image is on every device you're signed in to.
See Images in the body for the full walkthrough — what formats work, what the size limit is, what happens when your connection drops, and how to remove an image.
Collapsible toggles
When an entry gets long, it's nice to tuck a section behind a one-line header. Type /toggle (alias >) or use Turn into → Toggle to create one. A small chevron appears to the left of the header line; click it to collapse or expand the body underneath.
- The first line you type is the summary — the part that's always visible.
- Press Enter at the end of the summary to drop into the body. Anything you put there — paragraphs, lists, even another toggle — collapses with the section.
- Click the chevron (or ▶) to fold the body away. Click again to reveal it.
- Whether each toggle is open or collapsed saves with the page, so the state you left is the state you come back to.
A couple of edge cases worth noting:
- Tables can be moved and deleted via the handle, but can't be "Turned into" something else — converting a table to a paragraph would lose every cell, so the menu hides that option.
- To-do lists converting back to a bullet or numbered list loses the check states. The app asks you to confirm before doing it.
Everything you do here saves to the entry's body — drag-reorder a paragraph, refresh the page, and the new order is still there.
Your AI assistants still read everything in the body as clean text, so toggles never get in the way of asking your agents about an entry.
