Usage Guide

Drop notes into Inbox. Norfolk organizes, connects, and opens drafts without manual tags.

Workflow

Drop It In. Let Norfolk Sort It.

📥

1. Capture in Inbox

Paste text, drop files, or save a link. Start with capture, not with structure.

link: customer interview transcript

voice memo about launch ideas

No folders first. No manual categories. No tag cleanup before you start.

🧠

2. Let Norfolk organize automatically

Norfolk groups related notes, extracts reusable fragments, and keeps the inbox workable.

-> No manual categories or tags required

Collections grow from related material. Graph links appear as your notes overlap.

🗂

3. Review Collections

When a theme becomes clear, Norfolk already has the related material nearby.

-> Review Collection: "Launch retro notes"

Collections are the working groups for a topic, project, or recurring question.

4. Continue in Drafts

Open a draft with the right notes already assembled around it.

Weekly product memo -> Draft

Included: Interview highlights, pricing notes, onboarding screenshot

Focus: What changed this week and what the team should do next

Outcome: A usable draft instead of a blank page

AI Drafts turn connected notes into a draft when you want help getting started.

You do not need to design the system first.

Capture now. Organize later. Norfolk keeps up.
