What's New in Notelane

1.2.2

July 1, 2026

Outline & Table of Contents Jump around long notes in a tap. A new Outline button lets you see all your headings at a glance and scroll straight to any section — the heading you picked briefly highlights so you always know where you landed. Dedicated Statistics button Word count, character count, and reading time now live in their own button, right in the note toolbar. Cleaner writing mode When you're editing, the toolbar keeps only what you need — distractions hide away and reappear the moment you switch back to preview. iOS-native folder menu The folder menu now slides your notes gently aside instead of covering them, matching the feel you expect from iOS. It's faster, smoother, and scrolls freely. Also in this update - Added a Changelog link in Settings so you can see what's new - Various refinements and polish

Finally.

Just in time. Finally, a clean markdown notes app for iOS that allows the use of arbitrary iCloud folders. Perfect for use as a daily driver for notes, or for repositories of markdown files for use with Claude Cowork.

Fresh Take on Markdown Editor

Pluses:
- Clean UI
- Automatic lists
- Inline Photo attachments
- Embed audios and videos (with live preview)
- Version tracking. Very few markdown editors have this. A major boon.
- Custom storage location. I.e. iCloud Drive.
- Pinned Notes
- Tappable Hashtags that find all notes with same #hastag

Wishes:
- Live preview for website links
- Full screen writing view (that hides top toolbar and iOS and iPhone status bar)
- Collapsable headers
- Paragraph drag and drop

Appreciate the care, effort and passion you put into the app. It shows.

Look forward to seeing it grow in capability and popularity.
