Hi everyone,

I would like to suggest a highly useful feature for the **Joplin Android App** to improve mobile workflow and note control.

**Current Problem:**  
When browsing notes inside a notebook on Android, there is no visual indicator in the note list showing whether a note has tags or which ones are attached. To verify this, users must open every single note individually. This makes managing urgent notes on the go quite tedious.

**Proposed Solution:**  
Please add an option to display assigned tags directly within the note list on Android (e.g., as small, space-saving text labels or badges beneath the note title). This would bring the mobile experience closer to the Desktop version, where tag visibility is much better.

**Why this is useful:**

**Instant Control & Security:** It provides immediate visual feedback that a note has been correctly processed.

**Task Management:** For everyone using time-sensitive tag systems (like the _Eisenhower Matrix_ or _GTD_), this ensures that crucial "Do Now" or "Urgent" tags are never overlooked while scrolling through a notebook.

Thank you for considering this improvement and for your great work on Joplin!

Seeing tags in the list would be nice, and I'd back that. Until it exists, there are two workarounds for the urgent/do-now use case. The Tags section in the side menu lists every tag, and tapping one shows only the notes that carry it, so a tag like "urgent" gives you an instant filtered view. You can also use the search box with Joplin's search syntax, for example tag:urgent to list notes with that tag, or tag:urgent -tag:done to leave out finished ones. If you only care about a few important tags, putting a short prefix in the note title, or using a to-do with a due date, will show up right in the list without opening anything.
