Focus mode

Focus Mode in UpNote helps you write without distractions by hiding the sidebar, note list, and other interface elements — leaving only your note in view. It’s perfect for deep writing sessions, journaling, or editing long notes in a calm, minimal environment.


On Mac, Windows, and Linux

Toggle Focus Mode

  • Press Cmd + Shift + F (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + F (Windows/Linux).

  • Or click the Expand button in the upper-right corner of the note editor.

Line Length in Focus Mode

You can adjust the line width while in Focus Mode:

  1. Click the More (⋯) button in the upper-right corner of your UpNote window.

  2. Select Line length to choose your preferred width.

Always Create New Notes in Focus Mode

If you prefer starting every note in a distraction-free environment:

  1. Go to Settings → General.

  2. Enable Create new note in focus mode.


On iPad

You can enter Focus Mode by tapping the Expand button in the upper-left corner of the note editor, giving you a clean, full-screen writing view.
