Codexa Note

A small window that stays above your other work. One tab per project. Tasks, notes and links live on that tab. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose Google Calendar or a shared board. The Windows install is sent by email. This page does not link the file.

Windows 10 or 11. The file in the email is signed by CODEXA SOFTWARE (Pty) Ltd. Windows may still ask you to confirm the first time you open it. If it does, check the publisher name, then continue. Version 1.2.3. The app can update itself later.

Install

1. Open the install file from the email.
2. Finish the steps. Codexa Note opens, and it is set to start when Windows starts. You can turn that off in Settings (the gear).
3. Drag the window by the top bar. Pin keeps it above other windows. Collapse shrinks it to the tab strip.

Projects are tabs

The first open is a few starter tabs (Personal, Work, Ideas, Errands). Rename a tab by double-clicking it. Add one with + or Alt+N. Ctrl+Tab moves between tabs. The number on a tab is how many tasks are still open.

Now

The Now bar is the one line for what you are doing this minute. It saves as you type. Press Enter to also drop that line in as a task on the current tab. Ctrl+Shift+F jumps back to Now.

Tasks

Type in the box and press Enter. Click the box to mark a task done. Click the date chip to set a due time: overdue turns red, due today turns blue. The Today tab (first one) lists what is due today across every project.

Notes

Switch the project to Notes. It is a scratchpad for that tab and it saves as you type. There is no Save button.

Links and files

Switch to Links. Add a web address, or drag a file or folder onto the window. Drag the grip to reorder. Removing a link does not delete the file on your PC.

Voice notes

Optional. Open Settings, paste your own OpenAI key, and use the mic on a notes pad. The recording goes to OpenAI to be transcribed. A short summary and action items come back, and the action items are added as tasks. The key stays on this computer. Without a key, the mic does nothing.

Google Calendar

Optional. Connect Google in Settings if you want dated tasks on your calendar and today’s events on the Today tab. Skip it and the app still works.

Shared boards

Optional. Your tabs stay on this PC until you join a board. Someone who already has a board gives you a short code. Open Boards, choose join, and type the code. People on that board see the same tabs. A board you create gives you a code to hand to the other person. Do not put that code in a public download or a screenshot.

If something looks wrong

• The window is only a strip: it is collapsed. Use the expand control on the bar.
• A shared board says it is offline: the notes server is unreachable. Your last copy of those tabs is still on this PC. Local tabs are unaffected.
• An update is ready: a bar appears. Restart applies it.
