## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-10-28

Fixed bugs.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-26

This update makes the app hold up on a folding screen, and gives tiles the edges they were missing.

   • Tiles are actually tiles now. Every card used to be filled with the exact same color as the white section behind it, so four notes looked like one line
 of text on a sheet of paper — and a single note looked like a full-width row. Each card now has its own surface.
   • Projects and subfolders are tiles too in Project. Each one carries its Active / On Hold / Done status, how many notes and subfolders it holds, and when
 it last changed — tap to open it. Switch back to rows and everything looks exactly as before.
   • On a folding screen the toolbar moves into a vertical bar along the screen edge. Every button now pairs an icon with a title, so items in that bar and in
 its overflow menu can be told apart — and the editor's Cancel / Save no longer crowd the title.
   • Half-folded, the tile grid prefers an even number of columns so the crease falls in the gap between two columns instead of through a card.
   • On iPad and an unfolded folding screen, the list and the editor sit side by side: pick an idea on the left, read and edit it on the right, with the open
 idea highlighted in the list. If you have unsaved edits, switching asks first. iPhone portrait is unchanged — tap, and the editor pushes in as before.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-10-23

Optimized for DUO.

### 1.4.2 — 2026-10-19

Performance and reliability improvements.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-15

This update adopts the iOS 26 Liquid Glass look and raises the minimum system version.
       Please note: this version requires iOS 26 or later. A device that cannot update stays on 1.2.2, and your notes are unaffected.

- Navigation bars, toolbars, menus, and sheets now use the iOS 26 Liquid Glass material, adapting to what is behind them and to light or dark mode.
- The search field that slides up from the bottom of the list and the progress panel shown while a backup is written are now glass.
- The full-screen Markdown preview header no longer draws an opaque band — text fades into the edge behind it as you scroll.
- The Preview button in the editor is now a glass button, keeping its position and colour.
- In the tile layout, the pinned cards at the top now line up exactly with the two tiles per row below them.
