What's New in Caliu

1.3.1

August 6, 2026

- Faster and lighter. Typing stays smooth in long notes, notes open quicker, switching and selecting notes on Mac no longer stalls, and search and launch are faster too. Caliu also uses less memory while it works, and the bigger your library, the more you notice. - Local Files on Mac. Point Caliu at a folder and your notes live there as plain Markdown files, with images and attachments beside them. Edit them in Finder, Obsidian or any editor and the changes come straight back into Caliu. - Paste that keeps its shape. Copy from a web page, Google Docs or Notion and the headings, lists, links, tables and code blocks arrive as clean Markdown instead of one flat block of text. - Now in 13 languages. Korean and Traditional Chinese join the eleven Caliu already spoke. - Apple Watch fixes. Your notes now load on the watch, anything you capture there reaches your iPhone and Mac, and voice notes work from your wrist. - Fixes and polish. Batch export finishes, reminders keep arriving, and more small fixes on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Absolutely beautiful and free

This app is incredible. The layout is beautiful. It’s very customizable whether you choose dark mode or light mode there’s different themes and fonts to choose from you can use markdown or use the apps keyboard to help you. You can add AI to it with MPC if you’d like, there’s awesome features and you can export in different formats. The fact that you can use it on any device, it’s Even web-based which makes it top-tier. I don’t know if they’re going to add any payment plan in the future but I sure hope they let us know. This is absolutely fantastic and definitely one that I will be using for life as long as they keep maintaining and updating it.
