Problem or Use Case

Currently, managing and updating tags becomes extremely tedious as the number of Memos grows.

When a user's taxonomy changes over time (e.g., wanting to merge #todo into #tasks, or fix a typo in a tag), there is no way to rename or edit a tag globally. The user is forced to manually search for every single Memo with that tag and edit the text one by one. This manual process is time-consuming, prone to human error, and creates friction for long-term knowledge management.

Who Would Use This?

  • Power users who have accumulated hundreds or thousands of Memos and need to reorganize their tag structure.
  • Daily note-takers and journaling users who rely heavily on tags for quick categorization and filtering.
  • Anyone who wants to merge duplicate/similar tags or maintain a clean tag taxonomy.

Proposed Solution

  1. Global Tag Rename/Delete in Tag Management:

    • Allow users to right-click or click an edit/delete button next to a tag in the sidebar (or settings page).
    • Renaming #tagA to #tagB should automatically update the text/tag reference across all Memos containing #tagA.
  2. Bulk Selection Mode (Optional/Future Enhancement):

    • Support a multi-select mode in the Memo list view to add or remove tags from multiple selected Memos at once.

Alternatives Considered

Currently, the only workaround is manually searching for a tag and editing each Memo individually. Another hack is exporting/modifying the underlying SQLite database directly, which is dangerous for regular users and inaccessible for non-technical users.
