Opening Jetfold from Other Apps
Jetfold answers to jetfold:// links, from Shortcuts, scripts, bookmarks, calendar events and other apps. From Terminal:
open 'jetfold://daily'
A link that arrives while Jetfold isn't running starts it, and runs once the workspace has loaded.
The easiest way to get a link to a note is Note → Copy Link, which copies its open link (below) ready to paste anywhere.
Routes
| Link | Does |
|---|---|
open?note=Name |
Opens a note, resolved like a [[wikilink]] (by name, or by path from the notes folder when it contains /). &heading=Tasks or Name%23Tasks puts the cursor on a heading. &create=true[&text=…] makes the note first if it's missing (placed as new would); without it an unknown name shows an error. |
new?note=…&text=… |
Makes a note. Name goes in the inbox folder (Settings, default Inbox), folder/Name in that folder, folder/ makes Untitled there. Missing folders are created; a taken name becomes Name 2. The note opens in its own window. |
new?…&append=true |
If that exact note exists, adds text on a line of its own; otherwise creates it. |
new?…&overwrite=true |
If that exact note exists, replaces its text, after a confirmation (always, even with silent). Otherwise creates it. |
new?…&silent=true |
Doesn't open the note. |
daily?offset=N |
Today's note, or N days away (-1 yesterday). Created if missing. |
search?q=text |
Opens Search in Notes with text typed in. |
note may also be written path. Encode spaces as %20, # as %23, & as %26, newlines as %0A.
open 'jetfold://open?note=Atlas%20Launch%20Plan&heading=Tasks'
open 'jetfold://new?note=Journal/Log&append=true&silent=true&text=Ran%205k'
open 'jetfold://search?q=load%20test'
Problems (unknown note, invalid name or folder, read-only note) show in Jetfold's error alert.
Service: New Jetfold Note with Selection
Select text in any app, then use the app menu → Services → New Jetfold Note with Selection (or the text context menu). It creates Untitled.md in the inbox folder holding the text and opens it in a note window. To enable it or give it a shortcut: System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Services → Text → New Jetfold Note with Selection.
