# Notes

> Quickly dictate notes and organize them with smart sections, reminders, and AI classification.

## Sections

Sections let you organize notes into groups like "Work", "Personal", or "Ideas".

When you save a note, Hermes automatically suggests which section it belongs to based on its content. You can accept the suggestion, choose a different section, or leave it uncategorized.

Manage sections from the **section management** button in the Notes view — create, rename, reorder, or delete them. Use the **filter bar** to show only notes from a specific section.

***

## Reminders

Set a reminder on any note and Hermes schedules a macOS notification at the time you choose.

<Note>
  Hermes needs the **Reminders** permission to schedule notifications. See [Permissions](/setup/permissions).
</Note>

***

## Calendar events

Link a note to a calendar event to keep meeting notes, agendas, or follow-ups connected to your schedule.

***

## Duplicate detection

When you save a note with content similar to an existing note, Hermes warns you before creating a duplicate.

***

## Auto-classify

By default, new notes are automatically placed into the right section by AI. To review suggestions before they're applied, turn off **Auto-Classify** in the section management sheet. Notes will still get a suggestion — you just approve it first.

***

## Syncing to other apps

Notes can be synced to **Apple Notes**. Configure the destination when setting up a [Note Capture trigger](/triggers/types/note-capture).
