What's New in dinky notebook

1.2.0

November 4, 2026

dinky's colors now follow the sky. The pile warms at dawn, brightens at midday and cools into the blue hour and the night, with sunrise and sunset shifting through the seasons. At night the moon's phase tints the paper, and solstices, equinoxes, full moons and meteor showers each get a quiet touch. It's all worked out on your phone, with no location access. • A refined icon, and a launch that goes from its navy straight into your pile • Export notes and Restore purchase now live in a menu beside search • Real bold type in menus, buttons and tags, and a navy card stock • Opening a note that ends in a hashtag no longer pops up that same tag
