Desktop and phone

Themes and appearance

Six themes, typography built for long sessions, and layout controls on the desktop.

Six built-in themes on both platforms, plus System to follow your operating system. Custom palettes are supported too, and text colours are derived automatically so a palette you invent stays readable.

Typography

Four editor type sizes and four typefaces, including OpenDyslexic. The reader has its own independent settings, so you can read in a large serif while writing in a small sans.

Settings ▸ Appearance.

On the phone, Settings > Appearance > Text Size (Default, Large, Largest) enlarges the interface text: settings, chat, lists and labels. The note editor keeps its own font size and typeface, set just below it.

Desktop layout

SettingOptions
Editor widthNarrow, Comfortable, Wide, Full width.
Interface scale80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 125%, 140%. Also Ctrl/Cmd+Plus and Ctrl/Cmd+-.
SidebarAlways open, Icons only, Auto-hide (reveals on hover at the left edge), Hidden.
Scale is the app's own, not the browser's
Zoom drives SILONotes's interface scale rather than a page zoom, so the layout genuinely reflows. Useful when the app lives in a quarter of a large monitor.
Four sidebar modes. Hidden still has a reveal button.
