What's New in footnotes

1.2.9

October 6, 2026

this one's a big one: we rebuilt footnotes from the ground up for iPhone, so it feels more at home on your phone. here's what's new: - no more login issues when on wifi (hopefully!) - keep up to 6 notebooks now. - notifications are here. set gentle daily reminders to write, at a time you choose. - your photos are sharper. the camera now uses the full camera on your iPhone, not a smaller frame from it. - every lens is yours. step between ultra-wide, standard and telephoto, and get close for macro. it switches over on its own. - selfies stay the way you framed them, and no longer flip after you take them. - saving a note is one tap, even mid-sentence. to put the keyboard away and keep writing, just swipe down on your words. - record, listen back and delete your recordings right from capture. - jump through a long notebook by date with the new date scrubber. - choosing notes is simpler. tap a note to select it, or press and hold an entry to share or delete it. - photos no longer show up sideways while they load. - lots of little fixes and polish all around. please keep telling us what you'd love to see next. we'll share what we're focusing on building over on discord!

Love the app

Love the app and I also love to write! Was wondering if maybe we get the option to also write and not just text! Besides that loving it

Good for journaling on the go

Love this little app, the fact that you can take/insert photos, journal on the go, use voice notes! They get transcribed too!!

I’d love to see a more paper like/notebook feel in the future instead of a timeline, or an option to toggle between the two!

minimalist UI, easy to use

very user friendly, serves its purpose. hasn’t experienced any bug since its release. I can see using this for a long time.

It’s my favourite app now!!

It’s just what I was looking for! I do love journaling, but sometimes photos, voice notes, or a sense of proximity are something a notebook is lacking.
Thank you dearly. I love that different notebooks can have different themes too, it’s so pleasing to look at, and I love that all the voice notes are kept together as well.
I greatly appreciate that you made it without ads. It actually makes me want to support you on other platforms. The beauty is in the simplicity 🤍

Modern simplicity

I absolutely love this app! Discovered this through Jonathan Ogden’s Substack post and immediately downloaded it. I’ve been so tied down with instructions, processes, and complexities for years. This has given me a digital space that I can peacefully document my thoughts and bring out a creative side of me that has been suppressed for a long time. Organize them by observations and lyrical thoughts for example. It feels so good to have an app that doesn’t push anything or constantly see advertisements. Finding new ways to maximize the utilization of this app! Thank you to the creator and developers!
