What's New in Leaf Note
5.5.0
November 11, 2026
Version 5.5.0 for iOS introduces dynamic date insertion in note templates (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD), a dedicated TODO list that scans and aggregates markdown TODO items across notes, and optimized note loading—non-encrypted notes now render faster while encrypted ones load asynchronously. We’ve also improved web clipping by stripping non-content elements (configurable in Settings), added Wi-Fi sync status explanations and progress indicators, fixed directory selection and sidebar update issues, updated App Store descriptions across all languages, included official website info in About, resolved icon tinting and .git folder sync conflicts, and enabled automatic trial activation upon account registration.
