Choose how note lists, timestamps, type sizes, input controls, and a second time zone appear.

Display & Format settings change how notes are presented. They do not rewrite the stored note text or creation timestamp.

## Choose a note layout

1. On iPhone or iPad, open Settings \> Display & Format.

1. Under Note layout, choose Classic, Note bubbles, or Journal.

1. Use the live preview to compare density, grouping, and timestamp placement.

> Mac has its own native Cards, List, and Table views instead of the three mobile note layouts.

## Format dates and times

1. Choose no weekday, a short weekday, or a long weekday.

1. Choose a system or fixed Date Format and a system, 24-hour, or 12-hour Timestamp Format.

1. Turn Show seconds on or off and adjust note and timestamp font sizes.

1. Open Second Timezone, search for an IANA time zone, and select it; choose Off to remove it.

> The second time zone is an additional display value. It does not change the note’s stored moment.

## Configure note input

1. Turn on Allow Empty Notes when a timestamp-only entry should be valid without text.

1. Turn on Minimal input bar to hide the microphone and camera controls while the composer is empty.

> Allow Empty Notes is Free. Minimal input bar requires Premium and resets to the standard input bar when Lognote returns to Free.
