Custom Collections

Learn how to create, edit and customize the filter rules

Updated this week

Custom Collections allow you to save a bunch of filters, saved as a convenient location in the sidebar. Almost like an automated folder that updates with all the cards that match these pre-defined filters. Learn how to create your own custom collection, or jump to explore a bunch more presets and readymade ones here.

How to Create a Custom Collection

To get started click on the Collection Creation button in the top right of the sidebar on desktop (this is the Overview pane on Mobile).

This will open the New Collection modal, where you can choose from:

  • 4 Pre-defined Collections to help you get started and understand how Custom Collections work

  • Create a Collection from the current view / filters. You can also do this directly from the Filter Menu.

  • Generate collection using AI Superpowers (Unlimited only)

How to Edit a Custom Collection

Once you've chosen your collection it will either be opened automatically (pre-defined options) or show you the edit collection screen below. You can also edit existing collections by right-clicking or long pressing them on mobile.

From the Edit Collection modal you can modify the name, description, icon and color of a collection, as well as the Filters.

Note: It's not possible to edit Home or Junk collections since these are permanent.

We recommend that you have around 3-8 custom collections at any one time. Otherwise it starts getting to difficult to maintain and navigate between so many different paradigms.

Editing the Filter Rules of a Collection

We generally recommend that you only edit the filters of a collection once you have a good understanding of the Custom Collection schema. Available here. It may seem complex to start, but allows great flexibility with any combination of nested filter groups you can imagine.

You can also copy and paste schemas, and share them with other people if you find one particularly useful.

Example Collections

Here's some example collections for you to try, clicking on them to add them to your Supernotes:
