What's New in RIFT NOTES + Voice Memos

2.1.0

July 17, 2026

RIFT Notes 2.1.0 Accessibility Improvements - Full VoiceOver support across the app: notes list, editor, voice recording, map, and onboarding, with rotor navigation for links and headings in the editor. - Dynamic Type and improved contrast throughout, keyboard focus for quick-access items, and accessibility strings localized into 13 languages. More Powerful Voice Notes - Record up to 60 minutes (up from 15), with a Live Activity on your Lock Screen so a long take never runs blind. And if you hit the cap, RIFT auto-saves the recording instead of dropping it. - Saving is instant: your note appears in the list immediately while audio processing, transcription, and cleanup run in the background, with real progress shown right on the note. Start your next recording without waiting for the last one. - Transcription got sharper: long pauses no longer swallow the speech that follows, and transcripts stay true to what you actually said. Also in this release - Rich-text formatting (bold, italic, and friends) now reliably survives saving, including mixing styles within a sentence. - Starting a voice recording on iPad and Mac keeps the note you're reading open. - Big battery and performance work: RIFT now sits near-idle when you're not using it, and location is only checked when it's actually needed.

Extremely Fast and Useful

You can capture notes so quickly in this app, and the design and themes are really great.

Love the app!

Not a fan of the map feature, but love the app.
Now that all note apps are full Ai bloat it’s refreshing to come across a beautiful app that just works and is not harvesting my data.
Please keep letting me buy stuff so I can support the development. Thanks

Amazing

It’s such an amazing notes app that keeps getting better. The themes and features are great. I really hope it doesn’t get forgotten about and only keeps getting more.
