October 9, 2026
Ready for iPhone Duo, plus a long list of improvements. IPHONE DUO • Your note, cursor, search and open panels carry across when the screen changes size, as when the phone opens or closes. • On the outer display, the dock's actions move into the system's side bar. • When the large display is partly folded, the notebook, Inspector, calendar, graph, canvas controls, board and tab overview are arranged around the fold. • The editor keeps text off the fold, and when the phone is propped like a laptop, the line you are typing stays in the top half. • The recording pill keeps clear of the camera, and a voice recording has its own layout when the phone is propped like a laptop. • The keyboard bar, find bar and search fit the shorter outer display. NEW AND IMPROVED • Faster and smoother, especially with large notebooks and long notes. Query blocks are dramatically faster. • Swiping between tabs shows each note exactly as it looks, with no flicker. • Each note remembers its undo history, cursor and scroll position when you switch away. • Move or rename a note or folder and the links that point to it follow. • Paste from a web page and it arrives as Markdown. Type [[ and it closes itself and completes headings. • Spell-check underlines as you write. Autocorrect stays off, and both are in Settings. • Chemistry formulas, nested callouts, Markdown inside tables and right-to-left lines. • Word and character counts in the Inspector, and Print on iPhone and iPad. • iPad: more keyboard shortcuts, tabs come back after relaunch, and Control-Tab and Command-1 to 9 switch tabs. • Choose where each voice note button records. The recording banner folds into a pill you can flick to any corner. • On iPhone, search opens in one motion with the keyboard already up. SYNC WITH YOUR MAC • Empty folders sync, and renaming or deleting a folder on your phone carries over to the Mac in one step. • Sync Now and Last synced in Settings, big transfers wait under Low Data Mode, and many fixes for dropped connections, renames and offline edits.
