What's New in JotBox
1.3
November 2, 2026
JotBox 1.3 makes your scratchpad feel more like yours. - Your actions, where you want them: customize the top bar and More menu. Reorder actions, move them between the bar and menu, or hide the ones you rarely use. - Share your setup: export settings or individual bar layouts as files to send to someone else. Choose which sections to apply when importing settings. - Markdown for your workflow: export or copy notes as GitHub or Obsidian Markdown, with highlights supported in the Obsidian flavor. - A cleaner Settings screen, with easier access to appearance, editor, privacy, and backup options. - Smoother navigation: the note list follows your swipe, and the keyboard dismisses more naturally when you tap away or scroll. - A more comfortable editor, with the scroll indicator at the screen edge and a simpler default top bar. - iCloud sync improvements, including better handling of incoming edits and conflicting versions. - Faster search and note browsing in larger libraries, along with editor and reliability fixes. Thanks for using JotBox!
