What's New in markdown notes
1.3.5
September 4, 2026
NEW • Pictures in your notes. Drag or paste an image into a note and it appears in the text at its own size. Smolpad copies the file so the note keeps working when the original moves: beside the note, or into an images folder, your choice in Settings > Editor. Drag a corner to resize it. Pictures travel with their notes on iCloud and on Dropbox. • An image button in the formatting toolbar, next to the link button. On iPhone and iPad it asks Photos or Files. On the Mac, Shift-Command-V does the same thing. When the editor is too narrow for the whole row, the buttons that do not fit move into a More menu. • A picture has its own menu: right-click on the Mac, press and hold on iPhone and iPad. Resize to a width in points or back to its original size, Show in Finder or Show in Files, and Delete, which asks first and removes the file too unless another note still uses it. • Edit a link you cannot see. With Reveal syntax under the cursor turned off, select a link and press Command-L or tap the link button: a small card opens with the link's text and its address, both editable, plus Remove Link. • Tap the title to rename a note on iPhone and iPad. A small panel opens with the name ready to edit. The name then stays put and no longer follows the note's first line, the same as Rename from the list. • Option-Command-S inserts a separator, the line that divides one part of a note from the next. • Show in Finder, from a note's right-click menu on the Mac. On iPhone and iPad it reads Show in Files and appears when your notes are in iCloud or in Smolpad's own folder, which the Files app now lists under On My iPhone. • A New Note button in the Mac panel's header, for anyone who turns the editor's floating one off. One of the two is always there. • Your first week of Smolpad Pro Yearly is free. Cancel any time before it ends. CHANGED • The panel opens ready to read, not ready to type. No cursor lands in the note until you click into it, and switching notes lets the cursor go. A note you just created is the exception: it opens with the cursor on its first line, keyboard up on iPhone and iPad. • The Dock icon follows the tear-off on the Mac. Drag the panel into its own window and Smolpad appears in the Dock and in Command-Tab; close the window and it goes back to living in the menu bar. With Menu Bar & Dock set, the icon stays put as it always has. • While you type on iPhone and iPad, the New Note button floats above the formatting bar, level with the character count, out from under your thumbs. • Settings > Editor keeps the type controls together under Font Settings, and the counts read a size larger. • The indent button is gone from the Mac toolbar. The Tab key does the same job. iPhone and iPad keep it. • Smolpad may ask you to rate it, at most three times a year and only after you have finished writing on three separate days. There is a Rate Smolpad link in About whenever you want it. FIXED • Editing a note's title no longer takes the cursor away on the Mac, or the keyboard down on iPhone and iPad. • A tag can start with an accented letter. #Übersetzung and #élan are tags now, like #ideen and #idees always were. • A fresh install remembers your purchase, and trying a TestFlight beta no longer unsets Pro in the App Store app. • The toolbar's image button works on the Mac. It opened nothing before. • The outline pane paints to the bottom with the keyboard up, hiding Markdown hides a picture's code too, and press and hold lifts just the picture instead of the whole note. • On iOS 27, typing near autocorrect no longer flashes the cursor to the wrong line for a frame.
