They can also be differentiated by colors and customize them to our liking, we can change the different font styles, size and add graphics. The available colors allow us to differentiate very well if they are for work, leisure, family or whatever we want, we have the colors yellow, blue, green, purple or gray, which we can choose from the Color menu in the upper bar or directly pressing cmd + 1, cmd +2, etc which is the number of each color.
We can also minimize the notes so that they are in a small bar on one side of the desktop, we can eliminate them easily by clicking on the button on the left in the same note, we can even adjust them with a translucent color so that they are not seen directly on the desk.
