Product help

Create your first noh

Set up a language model, add a note, and follow it until noh is created.

This Help covers the latest version of nohmitaina.

Before you start

On first launch, choose the interface language and the workspace where your notes will live. nohmitaina keeps your notes as ordinary files in that workspace.

Choose Claude Code or Codex CLI. The selected CLI must already be installed and signed in.

The selected language-model provider showing Ready in Settings
Confirm that the provider is ready before adding a note or file.

Add a note or import a file

Use the add button beside the file tree to create a note, import a file, or import a folder. Markdown, plain-text, and JSONL files are supported.

The create or import menu beside the file tree
Use the file tree’s add button to create a note or import an existing file.
  1. Create a note and write several connected paragraphs, or import a file with enough context to understand.
  2. Keep the note in Normal mode so it can contribute to noh.
  3. Save the note.
The note mode control with Normal selected
Keep source material in Normal mode when it should contribute to noh.

Wait for processing

After a save, the footer reports pipeline activity. Extraction runs in the background, so you can continue writing while the note is processed.

The footer showing that the processing pipeline is active
The footer shows when nohmitaina is processing saved material.

A short or fragmentary note may not produce a noh. Add enough context for the model to identify an idea, claim, question, or relationship, then save again.

Open your first noh

  1. Open noh from the main navigation.
  2. Choose Browse and select a result.
  3. Read the definition, evidence, relationships, history, tags, surprise, and activation shown in the detail view.
The noh navigation with Browse selected
The noh icon is the second item in the main navigation. Open it, choose Browse, and select a result.
A noh detail showing its definition and activation history
Open a generated noh to read its definition and activation history.
The lower part of a noh detail showing tags and revision requests
Continue down the page to review tags and send a revision request.

The detail view is read-only. To correct or refine a noh, use Revision Request so the next processing cycle can reconsider it with your guidance.

If nothing appears

  • Confirm that the provider is Ready in Settings.
  • Confirm that the note uses Normal mode.
  • Wait until the processing indicator becomes idle.
  • Add more context to very short material and save it again.
  • Check that the current workspace contains the note you edited.
