What's New in Igneous

1.3.0

October 27, 2026

• Outline in the margin: a slim set of ticks beside your note shows its headings, voice notes, embeds and callouts. Hover to read them, click to jump. On iPhone it is an Outline pop-up. One setting turns it on or off. • iPhone Duo: choose, for portrait and landscape separately, whether the unfolded screen uses the iPhone layout with the pill or the tabs layout. Meeting mode starts by itself when the Duo is set up like a laptop, and recording can carry on while the Duo is closed. • Fixed the visual glitches when rotating between portrait and landscape. • The saved voice note card's Copy button now opens Igneous to copy the transcript, so it works on the Lock Screen. • Notes in a folder you move out of your notebook in Files now leave search on iPhone and iPad, as they do on the Mac. • Version history for notes you delete is cleared out 30 days later. Notes in Trash keep theirs. • The recording icon moves only while sound is coming in, which saves battery. • Faster saving, searching, and opening of large notebooks on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
