Customising your bundles

The principle behind bundles is simple: they are designed to be customisable, so you can choose the features and look & feel that work best for you.

It's worth noting that it is not mandatory to customize a bundle. It's completely fine to stick with the default settings if they work for you.

If you want to make the most of the app, it's worth exploring these options:

  1. Look & feel settings - the layout and colors of entries in the bundle

  2. Tags & tag settings- what tags you add to the bundle, their colors, order, and features

  3. Sorting & grouping - how entries are ordered and clustered

  4. Details - the name & description of what's in the bundle

  5. Extra features - including configuring tasks and Kanban boards

Look & feel

To start, click the Bundle menu button at the bottom of the screen, then click "Look & feel". You will see the following bundle options:

Layout mode

You can choose between a standard card, compact or grid layout. This is a personal preference: a grid might work best for a bundle with mixed media, or random notes, while the standard or compact layout could be better suited to a list of tasks or bookmarks.

You can also enable Ranked list mode, which overlays a number on each entry based on its position — handy for top-ten lists or any bundle where order matters.

Color coding

Here, you can choose whether entries in the bundle should be color-coded based on their tags. You can choose tinted or rich colors, or turn off color-coding entirely.

If you choose tinted or rich colors, entries will be colored based on the primary (i.e. highest priority) tag. You can set tag priority in the "Tags & tag settings" section. You can also choose to hide the primary tag from the entry itself, since its color already communicates it.

Note previews

You can control how much of each entry is shown in the list. Use the preview size slider to set the maximum number of lines shown (0–15). Setting it to 0 hides the preview entirely — you can optionally show an ellipsis in that case to indicate there is content.

A separate slider controls how many attachments are previewed per entry (0–5).

Other display options

You can toggle compact tags to reduce the visual weight of tag chips, and independently show or hide the edited and created timestamps on each entry.

Tags & tag settings

Tags are a core part of how Bundled organises and displays entries. Open the Bundle menu and tap "Tag order and priority" to manage them.

Tag priority

You can drag tags into any order. The order determines:

  1. The priority of tags in an entry (and therefore how entries are color-coded)

  2. The order of tags in tag lists

  3. The grouping of entries by tag, if enabled

Group by tag

Toggle Group notes by tag / tag priority to cluster entries together under their highest priority tag. This is also available in the "Sorting & grouping" settings.

Sorting & grouping

Open the Bundle menu and tap "Sorting and grouping" to control how entries are ordered.

Sort method

Choose from:

  1. Manual — drag entries into your preferred order

  2. Alphabetical (A→Z or Z→A)

  3. Updated — newest or oldest edits first

  4. Created — newest or oldest entries first

Additional options

Regardless of sort method, you can also:

  1. Group by tag priority — cluster entries by their highest-priority tag

  2. Move completed items to the bottom — keeps finished tasks out of the way

  3. Show notes with reminders first — surfaces upcoming reminders at the top

Bundle details

Beyond the name and description you set when creating a bundle, you can edit these at any time from "Details" in the Bundle menu.

Name & description

Update the bundle's name and optional description here.

Content labels

You can set custom singular and plural labels for the items in the bundle — for example, "recipe" / "recipes" instead of the default "entry" / "entries".

Open in reading mode

Toggle this to open entries in reading mode by default. Useful for bundles where you browse more than you edit.

Extra features

You'll notice an option to configure Kanban boards in the Bundle menu - this is covered in a dedicated guide.
