What's New in Clew

1.5

July 31, 2026

Check out the redesigned look for highlights and sources! Now, it's more fun—and intuitive—to browse through your collection, add new items, and customize your home screen with widgets. - NEW: A colorful look for highlights and sources uses an item's cover image or artwork to paint the UI, buttons, and accents. It adapts to light and dark modes, too. - NEW: 3-column view on iPad gives you more information on screen. Plus, rich keyboard commands and navigation with the arrow keys make using Clew faster. - NEW: A better onboarding experience means you don't have to start from scratch. New users can start off with a few example highlights. Existing users can also add (and remove) these examples at any time from Settings → Advanced Data Management. New ways to import highlights in bulk into Clew: - Bring in highlights from CSV and XLSX spreadsheets. Clew automatically detects the format of the data to create highlights and add their sources. - Select multiple photos of physical book pages and documents, and Clew will help you create rich new highlights for them quickly. More new features and improvements: - Change the text size across the whole app and customize the font for highlight quote text - Improved support for Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight - Better multi-window support on iPad - Drag & drop highlights between tags and sources - Convenient tag suggestions appear right in a highlight's detail view - More stats, including "Standouts"—discover your longest, most-tagged, and most-revisited highlights - A new artwork-split layout for medium and large single-highlight widgets, which pairs the cover art with the quote. There are also refreshed built-in themes - Better undo/redo descriptions when you shake your device or use three-finger gestures - By default, book search now uses a source with better-quality book cover images Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug where a failed backup restore could damage existing data. Older backups that previously failed to import now restore correctly - Fixed crashes opening results from Quick Search and Spotlight - Fixed editing a book adding a "finished reading" date it never had, and preserved the original date when toggling a book's read status - Fixed restored books losing their read status when a backup recorded a finished date but no read/unread flag - Fixed More From Tags showing the wrong number of highlights on a tag - Fixed cover images being lost or attached to the wrong item - Fixed tag colors not updating in list rows - Fixed landscape photo orientation causing incorrect text recognition - Fixed the keyboard dismissing while editing scanned text chunks during bulk import from photos
