Attachments

Attachments (Files, Links, Audio)

Mindwtr lets you attach files and links to tasks and projects. Attachments are optional and sync across devices when sync is enabled.

---

What you can attach

• Files (PDFs, images, docs, etc.)
• Links (URLs, web pages, reference links)
• Audio notes (when "Save audio attachments" is enabled)

---

Add attachments

Desktop

• Open a task or project.
• In Attachments, click Add file or Add link.
• For links, paste a URL or local file path.

Mobile

• Open a task.
• Use Add attachment to pick a file or add a link.
• Audio notes are added automatically if you record voice capture and Save audio attachments is enabled.

Audio attachments

When you enable Save audio attachments (Settings → General), Mindwtr keeps the original voice note alongside the transcript. This is useful if you want to replay or share the recording later.

Linux audio playback dependencies

Audio playback on Linux uses GStreamer. If you see errors like autoaudiosink not found, install the GStreamer plugins:

Arch / Manjaro

sudo pacman -S gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly gst-libav

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav

Fedora (RPM Fusion required for some codecs)

sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free gstreamer1-plugins-ugly gstreamer1-libav

Sync behavior

• Attachment metadata syncs with tasks/projects.
• Actual files sync after metadata.
• If a file is missing locally, the attachment stays visible and can be re-downloaded when available.

Tip: Large files can slow sync. Prefer smaller attachments or links when possible.

---

Cleanup

Mindwtr automatically cleans up orphaned attachments (files no longer referenced by any task/project).

• Desktop: You can also run cleanup manually in Settings → Data → Attachment cleanup.
• Mobile: Cleanup runs automatically during sync.
