Anémona Vault

Your developer workspace inside Visual Studio Code.

Organize everything you use every day in one place — notes, secrets, reminders, tasks, commands, and code snippets — all accessible from a dedicated sidebar.

🌍 English & Español — full internationalization with auto-detect from VS Code. Language selector in the More Actions menu.

Features

Note types

Vault management

• Multiple vaults — Switch between different vault folders from the sidebar
• Categories — Group notes into named sections, each with its own color
• Folders — Organize notes inside categories with arbitrary nesting
• Encryption — Lock/unlock individual key files with a password (AES-256-GCM)
• Search — Global search across all note types and categories
• Recent folders — Quick access to recently opened vaults from the landing screen
• Persistent view state — Remembers your selected category, folder, and open note across view switches

Notifications & Reminders

• Scheduled notifications — Automatic reminders for tasks and reminders with due dates (due-soon and overdue)
• Notification panel — Dedicated inbox/history panel to review, mark as read, and manage notifications
• Bell icon badge — Unread notification count on the Activity Bar and sidebar header
• Background scheduler — Periodic checks for due events (configurable interval)
• Reminder actions — Attach a file, URL, command, or task action to any reminder
• Click-to-filter — Opening a notification pre-filters the editor to show the relevant entry

Per-type capabilities

• Markdown — Full-text editing with search and highlight
• Keys — Add/edit/delete credential entries with title, username, password, email, URL, host, port, token, and notes; copy values to clipboard; open external links
• Commands — Store shell commands with optional documentation/usage notes; copy, sort, filter, export, and insert directly into the editor
• Link — Save and organize links with title, URL, and description. Import CSV (url | title) or JSON, export as text/markdown/JSON, open URLs directly. Each entry shows a reachability status indicator (green/gray/red). Click sync on any entry (or "Check all") to fetch the page title, description, and favicon. Sync can be cancelled mid-way and scrolls through entries as it processes.
• Todo — Track progress (0–100%), set priority (low/medium/high) and due dates, mark as done/cancelled
• Snippet — Store code with language selection (30+ languages), copy code to clipboard, filter and sort; insert directly into the editor
• Reminder — Add/edit/delete reminders with due date picker (hours/days/weeks/months/specific date), mark as completed, filter by status (All/Pending/Completed), attach actions; automatically sorted — pending first, then by most recent
• Shot — Visual gallery for images. Paste or import images, preview with metadata (title, description, source URL, tags), filter by tag, sort, copy to clipboard, and export as ZIP.

Import & Export

• Vault import / export — Full vault backup and restore via ZIP with conflict resolution (overwrite all / skip existing)
• Individual note export — Export any note as JSON, plain text, or markdown
• Import from selection or file — Parse selected text or a picked file into any note type. Recognizes JSON, key:value pairs, code blocks, task lists, and shell commands
• Cross-vault key import — Import .anemona-key files from another vault with automatic source vault decryption
• Smart add from selection — Select text in the editor, click "+" in any note type, and fields are pre-filled automatically

Navigation & UX

• Compact sidebar — Responsive layout designed for VS Code's narrow sidebar
• Accent colors — Per-category and per-folder color theming (17 colors)
• Drag-and-drop — Move files and folders by dragging them onto a target folder or breadcrumb segment
• Breadcrumb navigation — Navigate nested folder hierarchies with clickable breadcrumbs
• Inline filtering — Filter entries within each note type editor with sort and priority filters; clear button (×) to reset search
• Confirmation dialogs — Deleting individual entries uses a simple confirm dialog; deleting entire files, folders, and categories requires a code-based confirmation to prevent accidental loss
• More Actions menu — Quick access to Recent folders, Search, Open folder, Reload, Notifications, Export/Import ZIP, Language, and Settings
• Reload overlay — Animated spinner during vault reloads
• Version notification — Toast notification when the extension updates, with a link to the changelog

Internationalization

• Multi-language support — English and Spanish included
• Auto-detect — Automatically matches your VS Code display language
• Language selector — Switch between Auto / Español / English from the More Actions menu

Important

When you copy a vault folder or one of its internal folders, include the .config.json file too. That file stores the configuration and the encryption key used to read protected entries.
