Sheets & Folders

Like the Notes app, Soulver organizes all your sheets for your – there's no need to keep track of files yourself in finder. And there's no need to manually save as Soulver automatically saves your changes for you.

By default, new sheets are saved in the General folder, but you can make your own folders too.

Renaming folders

Moving sheets into folders

Drag and drop sheets from the list into the folder, or use the Sheet menu (Move Sheet To…) or the contextual menu on a sheet in the sidebar.

Deleting sheets & folders

Hover over a sheet or folder in the sidebar and click the little red cross, or click a sheet and press the delete key. To delete the current sheet while editing it, press control-⌘-delete.

Deleted sheets are moved into the Trash.
