Notebooks

A notebook is one complete set of notes: a folder holding its own database, images, PDFs, themes, and fonts. Most people need exactly one — and until you add a second, Zorite behaves as if the feature weren’t there. But if you want work and personal notes apart, or a notebook that lives in a synced folder like Dropbox, you can keep several and switch between them.

Everything is per-notebook: pages, journals, whiteboards, favorites, settings, theme, even the password. Switching notebooks is switching worlds.

Switching

The chip at the bottom of the sidebar names the notebook you’re in. Click it for the switcher: every registered notebook (a ✓ marks the current one), and Add notebook… at the bottom. Picking another notebook relaunches Zorite into it — an encrypted notebook lands on its unlock screen, exactly like a normal launch.

The window title shows which notebook you’re in once more than one is registered.

Adding a notebook

Add notebook… (in the chip’s switcher, or Settings → Notebooks) opens a folder picker:

• Pick an empty folder and Zorite starts a fresh, empty notebook there.
• Pick a folder that already contains a Zorite database — a notebook from another machine, a synced folder, a backup — and it opens as-is.

Either way you confirm before the relaunch.

Managing

Each notebook row (in the switcher, or as full rows under Settings → Notebooks) offers:

• Rename — a display name; the folder on disk is never renamed. The name travels with the folder (it’s saved inside it), so a renamed notebook keeps its name if you remove and re-add it, or open it on another machine.
• Reveal — show the folder in your file manager.
• Remove from list — forgets the entry. The folder and everything in it stay on disk; add it back any time.

Settings → Notebooks also carries the Data location card: it shows the current notebook’s folder and can move its data to a different folder (the move runs on the next launch). A folder that already holds a database can’t be a move target — that’s a notebook; add it from the switcher instead.

Where the data lives

Each notebook is fully self-contained — the folder is the backup unit. Copy it, sync it, or zip it and the whole notebook goes along: database, attachments, themes, and settings. The list of registered notebooks itself is the only thing stored outside, in a small pointer file in the platform’s default data directory.
