## What is Etched?

Stop losing your own notes.

Etched finds what you wrote by meaning — not just by keyword. Ask for "the note about slowing down to think" and it surfaces, even if those exact words were never written. Everything runs on your device.

Write in plain markdown and watch it render as you type — no symbols, no preview pane, no modes. What you see is the file. Your notes stay portable .md, yours forever.

FREE, and complete:
• On-device semantic search — find notes by meaning
• Live WYSIWYG markdown — bold, headings, lists, quotes, code
• Tables, callouts, code blocks, footnotes, highlights, links
• iCloud sync across your devices
• Export to .md (raw or with rendered images), PDF, plain text

ETCHED PRO — one-time purchase, yours forever:
• Flashcards + spaced repetition — turn notes into memory
• Diagrams from plain text (flowcharts, sequences, mind maps)
• Typeset math and chemistry (LaTeX)
• Charts from a few rows of data
• Sheet music from ABC notation
• Handwriting / sketches
• Present mode — turn a note into full-screen slides
• Per-note themes

Reading every format is always free — Pro unlocks creating them. No subscription, ever. Pay once and keep it.

Coming from Apple Notes, Obsidian, or Bear? Your markdown imports as plain .md, and you finally get search that finds notes by meaning — privately, with no account.

Private by design: your notes never leave your devices except through your own iCloud. No account, no tracking, no ads.

Your notes, etched in memory.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-07-04

This update refines Etched on iPad and Mac.

• Outline and version history now live in a side panel you can show or hide — glance at your headings while you write, and jump anywhere in a tap.
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when opening the outline.
• Restored the actions menu — share, present, backlinks, and more — on iPad and Mac.
• Small fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-07-01

Reliability improvements. Your notes now save even more dependably, with a clear alert on the rare chance a save can't complete. This update also fixes diagram and music rendering when working across multiple windows, and makes memory use smoother. Thanks for using Etched!

### 1.1.2 — 2026-06-30

Fixes a text editing issue when adding a new line right after a collapsed (folded) heading — pressing Return there now starts a fresh line below the section as expected.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-28

Editor improvements:
• More reliable keyboard cursor movement — arrow keys, plus jump to the start or end of a line — now correct inside quotes and lists.
• Fixed text formatting (bold, highlight) sometimes breaking when editing across styled text.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-26

What's new in 1.1.0:

• Tables now render bold, italic, code, highlights, and links inside cells — no more raw markdown in your tables.
• Link between notes — tap a link to jump straight to another note.
• Etched now remembers your sort order and the note you had open.
• Editor fixes: collapsible blocks, in-cell editing, and list selection.
• Code blocks get a language picker — tap the chip to set the language, and copy a block with one tap.
• Long notes show a sticky heading trail up top — see where you are and tap to jump between sections.
