What's New in markdown notes
1.3.4
August 25, 2026
NEW • Thirteen new editor themes: Solarized, GitHub and Everforest in light and dark, GitHub High Contrast, Alucard (Dracula's own light half), Afterglow, Nord and Bearded Milkshake Mint. Twenty-seven themes in all, eleven of them light. • Five new app icons: Smol Skeuomorphic, Smol Coast, Smol Notebook, Smol Sketches and Smol Pixels. Seventeen in all, and every one has a line of its own if you point at it. • An outline of your note, beside it. Turn it on from the editor's toolbar or with Option-Command-O, and every heading lists down the side. Click one to jump to that section. On iPhone it opens as a sheet. • Open Markdown and text files with Smolpad. Drop a .md on the Dock icon, use Open With, or drag files onto the note list. Your originals are never touched or moved. • Reorder notes by hand on iPhone and iPad, and drag them into folders. Press and hold a row anywhere outside its title, then drag. • More keyboard. Command-1 to Command-9 jump to a note by its place in the list, Command-K goes to search, Command-L inserts a link, Command-W puts Smolpad away without quitting it, and Command-/ opens a card listing every shortcut. • Markdown syntax can stay hidden for good. Settings > Editor has a new switch under Hide Markdown syntax: turn off Reveal syntax under the cursor and the markers never appear at all. • A wider note list on the Mac. Settings > Appearance offers Compact, Standard, Wide and Extra Wide, or right-click the list to change it without opening Settings. • The panel has a close button in its top left corner. The quit button is off by default now, and quitting is a right-click on the menu bar icon. • Reduce Motion is respected, and Settings > Storage opens your notes folder in the Finder or the Files app. FIXED • A deleted welcome note stays deleted, and the folder Smolpad makes on first launch cleans up after itself. • Hide Markdown syntax now hides it while you type. Only the piece you are editing shows its markers, and opening a note no longer reveals its first heading. • The Mac panel can no longer be dragged too small to use, and Reset Window Size puts an oversized one back. • macOS 27 beta: tearing the panel off works again, and the delete and rename dialogs take clicks.
