Notes

Rich text blocks with formatting, links, mentions, and collaborative editing.

Note blocks are rich text editors for capturing ideas, writing content, and collaborating with your team. They support full text formatting, inline links, @mentions, and real-time collaborative editing.

Text formatting

Select text to reveal the bubble toolbar with formatting options:

  • Bold, italic, underline, and ~~strikethrough~~
  • Text color and background highlighting
  • Text alignment — left, center, or right
  • Headings and bullet lists
  • Inline code formatting
  • Hyperlinks with automatic protocol detection

Text color & highlighting

Change the color of selected text or add a background highlight using the color picker in the bubble toolbar. This is useful for emphasizing key points or color-coding content within a single note.

Add a hyperlink by selecting text and pressing Cmd+K, or by clicking the link button in the toolbar. Paste your URL — Cobloc automatically adds https:// if you forget the protocol.

@Mentions

Type @ followed by a name to mention a workspace member. An autocomplete dropdown appears showing matching members. When you mention someone, they receive a notification with the context of your note.

Real-time collaboration

Multiple people can edit the same note simultaneously. Changes sync in real time using CRDT technology (Yjs), so there are never conflicts — everyone sees the latest content. You'll see remote cursors with name labels showing where others are typing.

Auto-save

Notes save automatically as you type with a short debounce (500ms). You'll never lose work — changes are persisted to the server in real time.

Use block colors to turn notes into sticky notes. Yellow notes for ideas, green for action items, blue for reference — whatever system works for you.
