What's New in Only Text Editor
1.0.7
August 10, 2026
A smarter way to create documents * New documents no longer create a file the moment you tap Create. Write first, then tap the check mark and choose exactly where to save — iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or any location in Files. * The save dialog remembers your last save location and opens there automatically. * Changed your mind? Close an empty document and nothing is left behind — no more stray "Untitled" files. Never lose your work * If the app is interrupted or force-quit before you've saved a new document, Only Text now offers to restore your unsaved text — including the name you gave it — the next time you launch. A more polished theme experience * Switching between light, dark, and system themes now applies instantly across the entire app, including documents that are already open. * Fixed the navigation bar occasionally keeping the wrong appearance after switching themes. Under the hood * Typing, scrolling, and opening Settings are all faster and smoother. * Reduced memory usage when editing large files. * Improved the reliability of saving to iCloud Drive. * Smoother keyboard animations in the editor.
