Notes, Journal & Daily writing
Journals, the /// timestamp shortcut, and how what you write becomes searchable.
Journals
Selv can hold more than one journal — create, rename or delete one from Settings. Every journal you write in is part of your searchable memory.
The /// shortcut
Type /// anywhere in a note and Selv replaces it with a timestamp. It's the one built-in text shortcut today; a general custom-shortcut editor isn't available yet.
How notes are searched
Notes aren't a separate search system — they're indexed alongside everything else Selv captures, and you can narrow a question to just your notes using the Notes source filter described in Search & chat.
