Frontmatter

Frontmatter is a set of options (YAML format) that you can add to the top of your note body to control the post's behavior.

Example:

===
slug: my-post
excerpt: "This is a short description of my post"
password: "my-password"
===

Required format

  1. Place frontmatter at the very top of your note's body, directly under the Apple Note title.
  2. Only === is supported as the delimiter for frontmatter. YAML's standard --- delimiter is not supported because Apple Notes automatically converts --- to an em dash (—).

Validation

If you encounter issues with frontmatter in your live posts, it's likely due to invalid fields. Please double-check if you have included unsupported keys in the frontmatter. If not, you can validate the frontmatter using an online YAML validator like Mockoon's YAML Validator. Frontmatter validation
