Go Note Go Profiles

Profiles allow you to quickly switch between different Go Note Go configurations. Each profile stores a complete snapshot of all settings, plus a name and optional numeric shortcut.

Quick Start

Create Your First Profile

Set up your settings the way you want them, then save as a profile with a shortcut:

:profile save roam 1

This creates a profile named "roam" with shortcut :1.

Switch Between Profiles

Use the numeric shortcuts you've configured:

:1    # Switch to profile with shortcut 1
:2    # Switch to profile with shortcut 2
:3    # Switch to profile with shortcut 3
:4    # Switch to profile with shortcut 4

Or use the full command:

:profile load roam

Commands

Save a Profile

:profile save <name>              # Save without shortcut
:profile save <name> <number>     # Save with numeric shortcut

Examples:

:profile save roam 1              # Save as "roam" with shortcut :1
:profile save work 2              # Save as "work" with shortcut :2
:profile save temp                # Save as "temp" with no shortcut

Load a Profile

:profile load <name>              # Load by name
:<number>                         # Load by shortcut (if configured)

Your current settings are automatically backed up to the backup profile before loading.

List Profiles

:profile list

Shows all saved profiles with their shortcuts (if any).

Example output: Profiles: backup, roam (:1), temp, work (:2)

Current Profile

:profile current

Shows which profile is currently active.

Delete a Profile

:profile delete <name>

Deletes a saved profile and removes its shortcut mapping.

Example Use Cases

Personal vs Work

:profile save personal 1          # Personal Roam graph
:profile save work 2               # Work note-taking system

Then switch with :1 or :2

Different Assistants

:profile save assistant 3          # Connected to personal assistant
:profile save guest 4               # Safe settings for demos

Different Upload Destinations

Switch between Roam, RemNote, Notion, etc. with a single command.

How It Works

  • Each profile stores all settings from secure_settings.py as JSON in Redis
  • Profile metadata (name, shortcut) is stored with the settings
  • Shortcuts are mapped dynamically in Redis (no hardcoded values)
  • When you load a profile, current settings are backed up to backup
  • The backup profile always contains your most recent settings

Safety

  • Your current settings are always backed up to backup before loading a new profile
  • The secure_settings.py file is never modified - profiles only affect Redis settings
  • You can always revert: :profile load backup
  • Deleting a profile also removes its shortcut mapping

Configuration

Profiles are completely user-configurable:

  • Choose your own profile names
  • Assign any numeric shortcuts you want
  • No hardcoded profile names in the codebase
  • Works for any Go Note Go user
