Folders and tags

Cubox gives you two complementary ways to organize:

• Folders: group content (like shelves or directories).
• Tags: label content (like sticky notes; they can span folders).

In practice:

• Same theme or project → folder
• Multiple dimensions or cross-cutting topics → tags

You do not need a perfect system on day one. Save and read first; refine structure as the library grows.

We also recommend Cubox CLI so an agent can help you tidy or reorganize on a schedule.

Folders (nested)

You can:

• Long-press or right-click a folder → create a subfolder
• Drag folders → reorder or change nesting
• Move cards between folders

On Android, if subfolders cannot be created inline, create a folder first, then drag it under the parent.

Good for:

• Long-running themes (e.g. “AI”, “design”)
• A concrete project
• A focused reading sprint

Tags (hierarchical)

Tags add flexible labeling:

• Use / for levels, e.g. tech/apps/productivity
• Long-press or right-click in the tag or card list to create tags
• Drag tags to change order or hierarchy

You can also:

• Merge similar or duplicate tags
• In search, use #tag to filter
• Combine multiple tags for “must include all” filters

Good for:

• Topics (e.g. “startup”, “consumer spending”)
• States (e.g. “to sort”, “ideas”)
• Personal focus areas

Smart folders

If you prefer less manual work, use smart folders: define rules and Cubox keeps matching cards in those lists automatically.

See Smart folders for how to set them up.
