From Chaos to Clarity: A User's Guide to SnackStack

New to SnackStack? This comprehensive guide walks you through setting up your workspace, importing your old notes, and mastering the daily workflow.

Welcome to SnackStack! If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by a blank slate, don't worry. This guide will take you from "zero" to "productivity hero" in less than 15 minutes.

Step 1: The Setup

After signing up, head to your Settings. Customize your theme (Dark Mode is a user favorite!) and set up your profile. If you are coming from Notion or Evernote, use our Import Tool to bring your existing data over seamlessly.

Step 2: Create Your First Stack

Think of your current main focus. Is it a work project? A hobby? A travel plan? Click "New Stack" and give it a name. This will be your home base for that topic.

Step 3: The Daily Note

We recommend starting every day with a "Daily Note." Use it to:

- List your top 3 tasks for the day.

- Jot down quick thoughts or reminders.

- Log meetings or calls.

At the end of the day, review your Daily Note and move important items into their respective Stacks. This keeps your mind clear and your system organized.

Pro Tip: Keyboard Shortcuts

Speed up your workflow by mastering shortcuts. Press Cmd/Ctrl + K to open the Command Palette, where you can navigate anywhere or trigger any action without lifting your fingers from the keyboard.
