What's New in Nib
1.10.07
October 31, 2026
What's new in Nib 1.10.07? • A new library. Every note and page is a card on a screen of its own, so you see everything at a glance. Open one and your writing has the whole screen; ‹ Notes takes you back. • Folders and categories. Make a folder from the row above your notes, then press and hold a note or page and drag it onto a folder to file it. One folder holds both notes and pages, and categories add a colour. Three of each are free, and Nib Plus has as many as you like. • Settings → Customize. Set the text size, width, line spacing and how much things move, and choose what shows beside your writing. With Nib Plus: fonts, accents, highlight colours, spaced or indented paragraphs, justified pages, typewriter scrolling, focus dimming, your own toolbar, saved looks, a theme of your own and alternate app icons. • Nib moves. Tap New and your note opens out of the button. Tap + New folder and it springs open for a name, with an empty folder dropping in. A trashed note crumples into a ball and flies into Trash; restored, it lifts back out; deleted for good, it's shredded. New folders arrive with a burst, and cards glide when they change places. Turn it down in Customize → Motion. • Opening Nib, the nib draws a line of ink while your library loads, and Lock Nib's screen takes your theme's colours. • On a new iPhone or iPad, a welcome: start writing, sync from another device, or import your notes. • Changing theme now cross-fades the whole screen.
