Every Lognote entry belongs to a group or to the reserved Inbox. The timestamp is stored with the note and the note remains editable.

Create a note

Open a group or Inbox.
Select the field labeled New note or Add to Inbox.
Enter your text and choose Send. A line break inside the field does not submit the note.
If you want timestamp-only entries, enable Settings > Display & Format > Allow Empty Notes first.

On iPhone or iPad, swipe a note and choose Edit, or touch and hold it and choose Edit Note.
On Mac, select the note in the list and edit it in the detail pane, or right-click and choose Edit.
Change the text and save or submit the edit.

The note keeps its original creation time. Lognote separately records when it was edited.
