Note Reviewer Lite — Fast Note Triage for Amplenote ($1.99)

Deep Feature Tour

Built for Fast, Habitual Triage

Every control is engineered to reduce friction: one random note, three decisions, instant feedback, and a searchable record of everything you did.

Command Header

One Compact Strip for Every Global Control

The header keeps refresh, filtering, audit tracking, and theming within a single keyboard-friendly strip — no nested menus and zero page reloads.

How to Read This Header:

Note Reviewer Lite + Lite Badge: Confirms you're in the dedicated triage dashboard built as a single lightweight bundle.
Refresh: Re-queries the workspace, recalculates the candidate pool, and re-renders every metric in place.
Exclude Reviewed Toggle: Hide already-triaged notes by default, or include everything for a secondary review sweep.
Audit: On Toggle: Turn automatic chronological logging on or off without affecting triage itself.
Emerald Theme Cycler (T): Instantly rotate through 6 built-in dark and light palettes with 0ms transition.

Workflow Advantage

Everything lives on one line. You can change your review scope, theme, and logging preference without ever losing sight of the note you're triaging.

Random Discovery

One Note, Three Color-Coded Decisions

Press one button to surface an eligible note at uniform random, then categorize it instantly. The note stays open so you can keep reading and editing.

How to Read This View:

Open Random Note (R): Surfaces an unreviewed note at uniform random from your workspace and opens it in the main editor.
Eligible Candidate Count (1452): Live pool size after excluding Vault notes, audit notes, and already-triaged notes under the current filter.
Keep (1 / K): Applies 2-keep, confirming the note is relevant and worth retaining.
Delete (2 / D): Applies 2-discard as a flag — notes are never deleted automatically.
Review (3 / V): Applies 2-review, flagging the note for deeper research or editing.

Triage Science

The three tags are strictly mutually exclusive — applying one strips any previous status. One note, three decisions, instant feedback: a loop fast enough to become a habit.

Progress & Metrics

Live Workspace Progress at a Glance

Progress cards turn an abstract backlog into a visible finish line. See exactly how many notes are left, what you've kept, and what still needs a closer look.

How to Read Each Metric Card:

Workspace Review Progress (0% (7 / 1459)): Completion ratio with a smooth gradient progress bar and an explanatory info tooltip.
Total Notes (1459): Full workspace count with remaining unreviewed notes shown underneath. Vault notes excluded.
Reviewed (7): Notes already triaged, plus the completed percentage.
Keep (4) / To Delete (2) / To Review (1): Per-decision breakdown so you always know the shape of your backlog.

Momentum

Every triage action updates these cards immediately. Watching Reviewed climb while remaining unreviewed falls makes cleanup measurable.

Tag Filters & Audit

Close the Loop with Filters and a Searchable Log

Triage is only useful if you can find the results. One-click tag filters open each queue, while the audit log records every decision as timestamped markdown.

How to Read This View:

Open Tag Filters + "1 in review": Groups all direct tag shortcuts and shows how many notes are in the Review queue.
Keep (4) / Delete (2) / Review (1): Jump straight to in:-reports/-notes-reviewer/2-keep, 2-discard, or 2-review.
Auto-Archived Disclaimer: Clarifies that notes auto-archived by Amplenote are excluded from these filtered views, so counts always match search results.
View Audit Log: Opens the note tagged -reports/-notes-reviewer/0-reports with timestamped markdown bullets for every action.

Accountability

Audit entries use native markdown bullets — never fragile pipe tables — so your review history stays clean, portable, and fully searchable inside Amplenote.
