Notepad — quick thoughts, kept in context
Capture a quick note and understand how Notepad keeps it attached to the right boat, trip, leg, or vendor — and who can see it.
Notepad is theONE's mutable quick-capture surface: jot a thought now and it stays attached to the boat, a trip, a leg, or a vendor so you can find it later. It's the modern companion to the older, read-only Notes list — the two live side by side.
Steps
-
Find Notepad
Menu (☰) → Vessel & ops → Notes, then the Notepad tab at the top of the page (it opens there by default). Notepad is the one you can actually write to; the read-only Older notes list and the Jot inbox are the other two tabs on the same page.
-
Capture a jot
Tap New note — the pencil-and-square button at the top — to open the editor. Give it a title and body and save. New notes attach to the current vessel by default.
-
Add a voice note
Prefer to talk it out? Use the voice-record option — grant microphone access the first time, speak your note, and save. The recording rides along with the note.
-
Notes live in context
Every note carries a context — Vessel, Trip, Leg, or Vendor — shown as a pill. That's what keeps a note findable later: a note you made on a leg resurfaces when you review that leg.
-
Who sees what
Notepad is permission-aware. What you can read, edit, pin, and archive depends on your role and the note's visibility. A badge on each row shows its read scope, and beside it the row names what the note is about — unless that would only repeat the badge's word, so a vessel-wide note about the vessel shows "Vessel" once, not twice. Crew who aren't Captains only see the notes their role is allowed to read. A private note is yours on every device signed in to your account. Named names people by their theONE account: the list offers the people whose crew card is linked to their account (a card is linked when its person signs in on their own phone); vendors and guests are never offered, because notes never reach them.
-
Pin, archive, and search
Pin the notes you keep coming back to so they sort to the top, and archive the ones you're done with — archived notes leave the main list but stay on the record. Free-text search runs across titles and bodies, and always respects the same permission filter.

Notepad vs. the old Notes
theONE still carries a legacy Notes list that's read-only, and nothing in the app adds to it. Notepad is the mutable replacement. Both live behind the one Notes door now: the Older notes tab shows the old list, the Notepad tab shows this one.
