What's New in ForNote

2.0

May 19, 2026

What's New in 2.0 The first major update to ForNote — rebuilt from scratch for iOS 26. — LIQUID GLASS DESIGN — Every card, sheet, and toolbar now flows with the stunning Liquid Glass material from iOS 26. The whole app is native SwiftUI — nothing custom, just the system materials you already know. — FOLDERS & BULK OPERATIONS — Nest folders inside folders, drag notebooks between them, and select multiple items at once to export, move, or delete in a single action. Drop a notebook on the back arrow and ForNote moves it to the parent folder for you. Spring-load on the back arrow to navigate while you're still dragging. — PAGE BACKGROUNDS — Import photos, PDFs, or scanned documents as page backgrounds, then annotate over them with Apple Pencil. Every page of a PDF becomes a writable notebook page. — SPOTLIGHT SEARCH — Vision OCR now runs in the background on every page you draw on. Search for any handwritten word from Spotlight and jump straight to the exact page. Turkish and English are supported out of the box. — FLOATING TOOL PALETTE — Drag the tool palette anywhere on screen. Pen, marker, eraser, lasso, and a full color picker — without the system tool picker getting in your way. — NATIVE PAGE CURL — Notebooks now flip with the native page-curl animation. On iPad, draw with Apple Pencil while your finger swipes pages. — STATISTICS — Track your writing streak, browse a library overview, and see a content breakdown of OCR-indexed and image-backed pages. — FORNOTE PLUS — Unlock unlimited notebooks, unlimited PDF imports, every import source inside the editor, and detailed stats.
