Filter chips: narrow without typing

Use category, tag, field, date, and sensitive-data filters to narrow the vault.

3 min read · Updated July 13, 2026


Not every search needs the keyboard. Above the document grid, a row of filter chips lets you narrow by any dimension with a click, and they stack with each other and with a keyword search.

The Stoatify vault with the filter bar across the top: Category, Tag, Field, and date, above a grid of documents
Filter by category, tag, field, and date, all at once.

The facets

  • Category and Tag, the everyday two.
  • Field, filter by the value of a custom field.
  • Date, a document date or due-date range.
  • Sensitive data, filter by detected findings, category, or highest sensitivity. No findings only includes completed scans, not documents that are still scanning or unavailable.
  • Inbox, a one-tap toggle for documents you haven't triaged.
  • Views, jump straight to a saved or pinned view.

They stack

  • Every active filter shows as a removable chip beneath the bar.
  • Combine as many filters as you like, plus a keyword, to zero in fast.
  • Clear all resets them in one click.
  • Switch grid or list and change the sort independently of your filters.

Tip

Reach for the same combination often? Save it as a view so it's one click next time.
