How do I hide the sidebar or use Zen mode?

1. Click Sidebar in the toolbar, or press ⌘. A slim rail takes its place, with All notes, Tasks, Calendar and your pinned items.
2. For Zen mode, click Zen mode, or press ⌥⌘Z. The sidebar, the rail, the database drawer, properties and AI conversations all close.
3. Click Zen mode again to leave. The sidebar and the database drawer come back.

Shortcut: ⌘\ sidebar, ⌥⌘Z Zen mode

Other ways

• Right-click an empty part of the window and choose Zen mode, or Exit Zen mode to leave.

Good to know

• Leaving Zen mode doesn't reopen properties or AI conversations. Open them from the toolbar.
• Closing all four drawers by hand counts as Zen mode too.
• In a narrow window, Terra folds the sidebar into the rail on its own.
• Change these keys in Settings › Hotkeys.
