Seven small steps. Afterwards you know the parts of ZimeZumi you will use every day. Boards, desktop notes and the AI window can wait.
Choose your vault. On first launch create a new vault. If you want ZimeZumi on iPhone or iPad too, put it in iCloud Drive (section 2).
Write your first note. Click the new note button in the sidebar. Type a title and two lines. Watch the save status on the right: it saves by itself (section 5).
Give it a place. Drag the note from the INBOX into a life area or folder. Right-click the folder and give it a colour (section 3).
Open My Day. Click the calendar icon in the sidebar and write down the three things that matter today (section 4).
Pin and tag. In the meta bar above your first note, click the pin and add the tag first.
Find it again. Press ⌘P and type a word from the note, or click the tag first in the topic index (section 11).
Look at the Dashboard. Open it from the sidebar: today’s My Day, your pinned note and what you worked on are all there.
That is the core: capture, let it save, give it a place, find it again.
If you read nothing else, read this.
Your vault is a folder. Every note is a standalone HTML file you can open in any browser. Back it up, sync it, move it: it stays yours, with or without ZimeZumi.
Capture first, sort later. New notes land in the INBOX. Give them a place when you have a minute; the Dashboard reminds you under “To file”.
There is no save button. ZimeZumi saves while you type. The save status on the right of the toolbar confirms it.
ZimeZumi is one product on three kinds of device. The Mac app is the full version. The iPhone and iPad apps are companions for reading, capturing and editing. All of them work on the same vault.
Device | What it is for | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
Mac | Everything: editor, boards, desktop notes, import, export, AI window, MCP | DMG from the ZimeZumi website (address below). 14 days free, then a one-time license (section 15) |
iPhone | Capture, read, edit with a basic editor, My Day, search, Siri | Free in the App Store |
iPad | Like the iPhone, plus colours, highlights, knowledge blocks, tables and boards with Apple Pencil | Free in the App Store |
ZimeZumi website: posthopeproduction.com/zimezumi
Open the DMG and drag ZimeZumi into your Applications folder. The built-in MCP server (section 13) expects the app there. In macOS the app is called Zimezumi; it is the same app.
On first launch you choose an existing folder or create a new vault. If you also want ZimeZumi on iPhone or iPad, create the vault in iCloud Drive right away. A new vault starts with an INBOX, the life areas Knowledge, Projects and Archive and this handbook. If ZimeZumi runs in German, the life areas are called Wissen, Projekte and Archiv. Opening an existing vault adds nothing and overwrites nothing, and a vault that has gone missing is never silently recreated.
ZimeZumi speaks English and German. English is the default; you can also follow the system language. The language you use when you create a vault decides the names of its first life areas. Switching the language later changes the interface only, never your notes, folder names or file names.
The sidebar on the left is your library. At the top: the vault name with the buttons for a new note and for search. Below: the INBOX, PINNED and LIFE AREAS with their folders. At the bottom: the buttons for My Day, the Dashboard and Settings.
The library: INBOX, pinned notes and life areas on the left; on the right the open note with its path, the meta bar and the toolbar.
The INBOX is where new notes land: from the new note button, from browser capture, from Siri on the iPhone and from your AI client. You choose which folder serves as INBOX in Settings. Drag its lower edge to make it taller or shorter; a double-click resets the height.
Life areas are the big worlds, for example Projects, Knowledge or Archive. Inside them you nest folders as deep as you like. Click a life area to fold it; the two buttons at the top fold everything or open all life areas at once. “Manage life areas” adds, renames, recolours and reorders them, and you can drag a life area to a new position.
Every folder can have a colour and one of ten monochrome symbols. Right-click a folder for colour, symbol, new note, new folder, new board, pin and the other actions. Sorting is alphabetical or by time.
The meta bar right above the note holds the pin, the table switch, the colour marker for the title (“Highlight”) and the tags; on its right sit the outline, the backlinks and the date. The padlock and the desktop button (section 10) sit in the toolbar at the top right, next to the zoom. A grey open padlock means editable, a blue closed padlock means protected: the note can be read and copied, but not changed or deleted until you unlock it. Above the title, the path shows where the note lives, in the colour of its life area.
Pins: pinned notes appear under PINNED in the sidebar and on the Dashboard. You can pin up to five folders as well.
Several notes at once: select with ⇧ or ⌘ and move, copy or delete them together.
Right-click a note in the sidebar to open it as a reference, move or copy it, copy its link, show it in the Finder, export it as PDF or change its appearance.
Note counts: switch them on in Settings › Appearance if you like to see how many notes a folder holds.
Tree size: Small, Standard or Comfortable, in Settings › Appearance.
Switch arrow: jumps back and forth between the last two notes you had open, with reading position and selection.
Right-click a note in the sidebar.
The Dashboard button in the sidebar opens an overview of your vault. The list view is the default:
Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
My Day | Today’s note (or “Create today’s My Day”) and the two most recent earlier days, with the My Day folder beside the heading |
Pinned folders · Pinned notes | Up to five entries each |
Recently active | The ten notes you worked on last |
To file | What is still in the INBOX, so nothing gets lost |
Badges | Every badge type you use in your notes, with the number of notes behind it. A click unfolds the notes. |
The Dashboard: My Day, pinned folders and notes, recently active, to file and, at the bottom, your badges.
The card view shows the same areas as cards with a short preview of each note. Previews are limited on purpose, so the Dashboard stays fast even in a large vault.
Folder dashboard: while the Dashboard is open, click a folder in the sidebar. You see what was active there recently, what is colour-marked, and below everything in the folder from A to Z, subfolders first. “Main dashboard” takes you back; the X closes the Dashboard and returns you to your last note.
The calendar icon in the sidebar opens today’s note or creates it. A My Day note is a structured page for the day: what matters, what you did, what you noticed. In Settings › My Day you decide whether ZimeZumi creates the note automatically, which folder it goes into (the INBOX by default), which template it uses and the date format. You can edit your own template or take an existing note as the template; days that already exist never change.
My Day: a structured note for today, here with quick notes and a short morning check-in.
Click into a note and write. ZimeZumi saves automatically; the save status on the right confirms it. Everything you format is stored as plain, readable HTML.
Toolbar at the top: the AI button and dictation, bold, italic, strikethrough, text colour and highlight, H1 to H3 and Center, lists, checklists, quote, code, the MD button, link, image, table and + for more blocks such as knowledge blocks.
Slash menu: type / in an empty line and pick a block, for example a table, a gallery or a Markdown block.
Right-click on selected text: cut, copy, bold, italic, quote, center, AI, highlight and text colour. On a block, table or image you get the actions that fit there.
Shortcuts: ⌘B bold, ⌘I italic, ⌘⇧E center, ⌘⇧K AI window, ⌘F search in this note, ⌘P search the vault.
Right-click on selected text.
H1 to H3 each have their own colour. H1 and H2 sections fold with the arrow in front of them, and the state is stored in the note. One command folds or opens all H2 sections at once, and a single undo takes it back. A folded section can be copied whole and moved up or down at its level. A step heading carries a visible step number, useful for instructions.
Headings and paragraphs can be centered with the Center button next to H1 to H3, with ⌘⇧E or from the right-click menu. Lists, checklists, tables and code always stay left.
Block | Use it for |
|---|---|
Knowledge blocks | A side note, an information, a confirmed result or a warning in its own coloured box with rounded corners |
Data card | Key facts in a small table inside a highlighted card, like the status card at the top of this handbook |
Table | Comparisons and lists with columns. Add rows and columns, a header row and merged cells from the table menu or the right-click menu. Since 4.7.1 a table is as wide as its content and has rounded corners; very wide tables scroll sideways. |
Checklist | Things to tick off inside a note. ZimeZumi is not a task manager; for tasks with dates use a task app. |
Quote, caption, code, divider | A thought set apart, a line of context under something, commands or code with highlighting, a visible break |
Link and note cards | A web link, a local file or another note as a compact card with its title |
A note with step headings, knowledge blocks, a table with status badges, highlights and a checklist.
For a single note you can switch off table borders and cell backgrounds with the table button in the meta bar; the layout stays exactly the same.
Bold, italic, strikethrough and inline code, plus 14 text colours and 6 highlight colours. Badges are small status labels in the text: neutral, info, success, warning and danger. The Dashboard counts them for you.
Zoom from 60 to 140 percent with the buttons on the right; one click returns to 100.
macOS dictation starts at the cursor.
The outline (icon at the top right) lists every heading of the note and jumps there.
Insert images with the image button, drop them from the Finder or paste them from the clipboard. Adding an image never replaces one you had selected. Drag the corners to resize. Right-click an image to copy it, open it in macOS, show it in the Finder or turn it into a Finder link.
Text beside images (since 4.7): right-click a single image and choose “Left, text wraps” or “Right, text wraps”. The image takes 40 percent of the column, you can drag it up to 60 percent, and your text runs beside it. Lists and quotes stay beside the image; headings, tables, galleries, code, knowledge blocks and cards start below it. In a narrow window, and on the iPhone in portrait, the image spans the full width. “Align left” and “Center” bring it back into the line; centering and wrapping exclude each other.
Text beside images (since 4.7): one image on the right, one on the left, the text runs beside them.
Select several images with ⇧-click and choose “Create gallery”. A gallery shows four, five or six images per row. Drop more images onto it to add them; the same image is never taken twice.
Attachments: PDFs and other files appear as attachment cards and stay individual files in the vault, sorted into folders by type. Identical content is stored once and reused; if a file name exists with different content, you decide.
Reading PDFs: a PDF can be read inside the note, page by page, or opened in macOS.
PDF markers: mark a region in a PDF, give it a name and insert it elsewhere as a text link or a card. A click jumps back to exactly that passage. The PDF itself stays unchanged.
Media libraries: connect local folders of images, PDFs and documents. You place their files in notes while the originals stay where they are.
Finder links: point to a file or folder on your Mac instead of copying it.
A gallery with four images per row, and a PDF read right inside the note.
Since 4.7 a Markdown file can live inside a note without being converted. Insert it with the MD button in the toolbar, with /md, or by dragging a .md file into the note. The text stays Markdown, is searchable and keeps its link to the original file.
The block opens in reading view; the switch shows the source. Blocks longer than 40 lines start folded.
When the original file has changed, the block tells you. “Refresh” takes over the new version, only when you click it.
The block menu opens the original, shows it in the Finder, unlinks the block (it then becomes an ordinary code block) or imports the text as normal note content.
Dragging a .md file into a note asks whether it should become a Markdown block or note content. ZimeZumi can remember your choice; hold ⌥ while dropping to be asked again, or reset it in Settings with “Ask when dropping .md files”.
Quick view: double-click a .md file in a media library to read it on the right, without creating a note.
A Markdown block linked to its .md file, and on the right the quick view of another .md file from the media library.
On iPhone and iPad, Markdown blocks are shown read-only; refreshing happens on the Mac.
The AI window rewrites a passage you selected. It works on the Mac and uses the Claude Code or Codex you already have, with your own Claude or ChatGPT subscription. ZimeZumi has no AI of its own, needs no API key and stores none.
Action | What you get |
|---|---|
Rephrase | The same content in new words |
Shorten | A tighter version |
Expand | A fuller version |
Spelling and grammar | Corrections only |
Summarize | The core in a few sentences |
With instruction … | Your own instruction of up to 300 characters, alone or as a hint for one of the actions |
Select the text. Open the AI window with the AI button in the toolbar, with ⌘⇧K or by right-clicking and choosing AI.
Pick an action, or type your own instruction and click Run.
The draft appears at the top, with the changed words highlighted, and your original below it.
“Apply” (⌘↩) replaces the passage; ⌘Z undoes it. “Insert as new text” puts the draft below your selection and keeps the original. “Again” asks once more, “Discard” or Esc throws the draft away.
Right-click › AI: the actions for a selected passage.
The AI window: the draft with the changed words highlighted, your original below, then Apply, Insert as new text, Again or Discard.
The window floats above the editor, you can move it, and it stays open while you select the next passage. If the passage changed in the meantime, Apply is locked so nothing gets mixed up.
Settings › AI: choose the provider (Claude Code, Codex or Off). ZimeZumi finds the program, shows its status and version, lets you pick a model and “Test connection”. If the program sits in an unusual place, enter its path by hand.
Settings › AI: Claude Code found, model chosen, Test connection.
A board is a canvas for thinking in space: drawings, shapes, text and cards for notes and files. It is stored as an HTML file in your vault like every note. Right-click a life area or folder and choose “New board”.
Draw and write: pen, eraser, rectangles, triangles, circles, ellipses and diamonds, text with colour, size and underline.
Connect: lines and arrows in different colours, widths and solid, dashed or dotted styles.
Sources: add notes, images, PDFs and other files as cards: the Sources panel offers “Add note” and “Image / PDF / file …”, or drag them from the sidebar or straight from the Finder. Cards move together; the link icon on a card opens the original note in the reference column. A board holds up to 100 sources.
Move around: pan and fit to the window. The board window moves by its narrow top strip.
Lock: a locked board cannot be changed.
A board: a drawing, shapes, text, arrows and cards for notes, an image and a PDF.
The Sources panel: add notes, images, PDFs and files. Every card keeps its link to the original.
The status at the top says “Saved”; the Save button stores the board at once. Check it before you switch away. If the file changed elsewhere while you were drawing, ZimeZumi keeps your draft and offers to save a copy. To share a board, export it as complete board HTML; it can be imported again as a board. On the iPad you draw on boards with Apple Pencil (section 16); on the iPhone boards are read-only.
A note can leave the app and sit on your Mac desktop as its own small window, with the full editor inside. Click the monitor symbol right next to the padlock in the toolbar (“Pin note on desktop”). Click it again, or the X on the window, to take it off the desktop. In the vault nothing changes.
Two desktop notes in front of the main window: each has a pin, a button back to the app and its own save status.
The pin in the window’s header keeps it in front of everything else; without the pin it behaves like a normal window.
“Open in Zimezumi” brings the note back into the main window.
Position, size and pin are remembered per Mac and restored at the next start.
What you type appears in the main window straight away, and the other way round.
Desktop notes stay visible as long as ZimeZumi runs, also in the background. The main window comes back with a click on the Dock icon.
Boards cannot go on the desktop. Protected notes stay protected there too.
⌘P opens the search. It looks in titles, text and tags across the whole vault, tolerates typos, and ranks title matches higher. Below the search field sit the topic index (your tags) and the note markers (your title colours); both work as filters and can be combined. ⌘F searches inside the open note.
⌘P searches the whole vault. Here the tag #Travel narrows the results.
Link another note as text or as a card; drag a note from the sidebar into a note for a quick note card. Internal links survive moving and renaming. Web links and Finder links stay as they are.
Backlinks: the arrow at the right of the meta bar opens the backlinks: every note that links to the open one, with a line of context.
Outline: the list icon next to it shows the headings of the open note; its arrows fold or open all sections.
Reference view: “Open as reference on the right” opens a second note beside your work, read and copy only. Drag the column wider if you need room. Board cards open here too.
Deep links: right-click a note › “Copy link (zimezumi://)”, or copy the link to a PDF marker, and open it again from another app.
Outline and backlinks: every heading of the note, and every note that links here.
Settings › Import content › “Open import …”. ZimeZumi reads TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, source code, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT and PDF and turns them into editable notes. Markdown notes and whole Obsidian vaults come in with their folders, links and reachable attachments. Your source files are only read, never changed.
HTML files can simply be dragged: into the editor, the content goes into the open note; onto the sidebar, a new note appears in the INBOX with its embedded images and attachments. Scripts from foreign pages are never run.
With the Safari or Chrome extension that comes with ZimeZumi you save a page, a selected text or an image straight into the INBOX. Set it up in Settings › Browser Capture.
Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
A fixed, printable version for reading and sending | |
Markdown | Working on the text in other tools |
HTML | One portable file with the note’s images and attachments inside. It opens in any browser and can be imported into another ZimeZumi vault. |
The three export buttons sit on the right of the toolbar.
Top right: zoom, padlock, desktop button, save status and the three export formats.
Settings › Export & backup: “Create HTML backup …” saves the complete vault as a lossless ZIP, “Entire vault as Markdown …” as a portable copy for other apps. Backups are started by you and saved outside the vault. Files that live outside the vault, for example in media libraries, need their own backup.
Vault Guard (Settings › Vault Guard) finds missing references and attachments that nothing uses any more. You look at the list before anything is moved to the trash.
MCP lets an AI client you use, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, the ChatGPT desktop app or Codex, search, read and write your vault. The MCP server is built into ZimeZumi: no extra download, no web service, no API key, and the app does not even need to be open.
Open ZimeZumi with the right vault and go to Settings › AI & MCP.
Click “Check connection”. The four checks Vault, MCP server, Connection and Version must all be green.
Click “Copy configuration”. The copy already contains the exact path of your open vault and the server name zimezumi.
Add it to your AI client and restart the client.
Settings › AI & MCP after Check connection: all four checks green.
Client | Where the configuration goes |
|---|---|
Claude Desktop | Quit Claude Desktop completely. Open its configuration file (path below), back it up, then add the zimezumi entry under mcpServers without removing other entries. Reopen Claude Desktop. |
Claude Code | Run the command below in Terminal, then start a new session and check with /mcp. |
ChatGPT desktop app | Settings › MCP servers › Add server: name zimezumi, type STDIO, command and argument as below. Save and choose Restart. |
Codex | Run the command below, then open a new terminal session or restart the extension. |
The paths and commands for each client:
Claude Desktop, configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Claude Code:
claude mcp add zimezumi --scope user -- /Applications/Zimezumi.app/Contents/Resources/mcp/zimezumi-mcp "--vault=/PATH/TO/VAULT"
ChatGPT desktop app, command and argument:
/Applications/Zimezumi.app/Contents/Resources/mcp/zimezumi-mcp
--vault=/PATH/TO/VAULT
Codex:
codex mcp add zimezumi -- /Applications/Zimezumi.app/Contents/Resources/mcp/zimezumi-mcp "--vault=/PATH/TO/VAULT"/PATH/TO/VAULT stands for the path from your copied configuration. The ChatGPT website cannot reach a local MCP server; use the desktop app or Codex.
26 tools: list, search and read notes, find passages, follow links, list tags and folders, create notes, update and append, rename, set tags and colours, add attachments, create folders, and plan moves, folder renames and tag changes that you confirm separately. Since 4.7 the passage search hands the AI the few matching sections of a long note, each with the headings above it, instead of the whole note. Under “Allowed file folders” you decide from which folders on your Mac the MCP server may copy images and attachments into the vault.
Card | What you set there |
|---|---|
App language | English, Deutsch or System |
License | Demo state, license key, buy a license (section 15) |
Appearance | Paper, Dark paper, Dark or Follow Mac; Custom colors (the Color lab); the navigation tree size; note counts in life areas and folders |
My Day | Automatic daily note, folder, template, date format |
INBOX | Which folder serves as the INBOX |
AI | Provider for the AI window, model, test connection; ask when dropping .md files |
AI & MCP | Check connection, copy the configuration, allowed file folders |
Browser Capture · Import content · Export & backup · Vault Guard | See section 12 |
Color lab: under Custom colors you set background, text and accent, the text colour of the navigation tree, the colours of code blocks, and with one slider the hues of H1, H2 and H3 together. Light, Warm and Dark are starting points, the live preview shows every change, and contrast checks tell you whether everything stays readable. Your palette applies on this Mac only; notes, markers and folder colours stay unchanged. “Restore base colors” takes you back.
Settings › Appearance: four modes, Custom colors, tree size and note counts.
The Color lab under Custom colors, with contrast checks.
ZimeZumi Desktop runs fully for 14 days. After that, everything you already have stays usable: open, edit, save, search, export and back up. A license is needed only to create something new: new notes and boards, imports, browser capture, new My Day notes, notes created over MCP and the AI text actions. The iPhone and iPad apps are free and have no license check.
Buy ZimeZumi Desktop at posthopeproduction.com/store.html. The license line comes by email; it starts with “PHP1.”.
Settings › License: paste the whole line and click “Check license”. The check runs immediately and offline, without a restart.
The card now shows “Licensed to Name (email)”. Before that it shows “Demo, N days left” or “Demo ended”.
Settings: app language and license, here during the demo.
The license is a line of text in ~/Library/Application Support/Zimezumi/license.txt. Placing the file there by hand works too. No account, no device binding, no internet check.
The mobile app works on the same vault as your Mac. It is the companion: capture on the way, read, edit, plan the day. The full program stays on the Mac.
Make sure the vault lies in iCloud Drive (section 2).
Open ZimeZumi on the iPhone or iPad, choose “Select existing folder” and pick exactly the same vault folder.
Wait until the files are downloaded. Only what is downloaded is available offline.
The bar at the bottom has five places: Dashboard, Life areas, + for a new note in the INBOX, My Day and Pinned with a counter. The app starts in Life areas. The mobile Dashboard shows your ten most recently active notes, grouped by Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days and Older, and below them up to five pinned folders. Search sits at the top and filters by text, tags and colours at once.
Life areas, with search at the top and the bottom bar: Dashboard, Life areas, +, My Day, Pinned.
The mobile Dashboard: recently active notes, grouped by day.
Further down: Last 7 days and your pinned folders.
Search: “weekend”, narrowed to the tag #Travel.
A note opens for reading. Tap the pencil (Edit) to change it; this deliberate step protects you from accidental edits. The iPhone offers undo and redo, headings, bold, italic, underline, lists, quote and divider. The iPad adds text colours, highlights, knowledge blocks and table editing. Colours, folder symbols, headings and tables look the same as on the Mac. Wide tables scroll sideways inside the table.
A note in reading view. The pencil top right switches to editing.
iPad: library and note side by side, here in edit mode with the formatting bar. Cancel or Save at the top.
From version 4.7, images with text beside them and Markdown blocks from the Mac are shown as on the Mac; you set or refresh them on the Mac.
My Day in the bottom bar opens today’s note or creates it, with the folder, date format and template you chose on the Mac. It even finds a day you renamed or moved.
On the iPad you draw on boards with Apple Pencil and use shapes, arrows, lines, text, the eraser, selection, undo and redo; colour, line weight and line style apply to the next object. Fingers pan and zoom. Saving is deliberate. If the board changed elsewhere in the meantime, your drawing stays open and can be saved as a copy. On the iPhone boards are read-only.
A board on the iPad in edit mode: tools, colour, line weight and line style. Pencil draws, fingers pan and zoom.
Share sheet: share a text, link, image or PDF from another app to ZimeZumi. The first time, connect the same vault folder in the share extension.
Siri: say “New note in Zimezumi”. Siri asks for the title and the content and saves the note in the INBOX without opening the app. The device must be unlocked.
Not on iPhone and iPad: MCP, browser capture, desktop notes, vault imports, the AI window and editing the My Day template. The appearance (System, Light, Dark) is chosen in the library menu.
Conflict check: before saving, ZimeZumi compares with the file on disk. If the app, your AI client or a sync service changed the same note, you see the conflict instead of one version quietly winning.
On iPhone and iPad: if a note changed elsewhere while you were editing, your draft stays open and “Save copy” keeps it as a new file.
Write protection: a protected note cannot be changed or deleted, not even in a multiple selection. Unlocking is only possible in the app.
Deleting: notes go to the trash after a question. Attachments that nothing else uses are named before they go with the note.
Backups: the lossless HTML backup (section 12) restores everything, including colours and PDF markers.
