## What is Stash?

Stash is a notes app designed for how you actually think. 

Stash doesn't make you create a new document anytime you want to capture your fleeting thoughts. Instead, you can add a note faster than you can send a text.

Stash doesn't store each note in disconnected silos. Instead, you can see all your thoughts in one connective thread.

Stash doesn't support markdown. Instead, you can double-tap to highlight, swipe to cross off, and long press to lock with Face ID.

Yeah, Stash doesn't do a lot, but it does exactly what you need it to, better than any other app out there.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2025-11-26

Just like our notes, I'll keep this short. 

Bug Fixes & Updates:
- You weren't able to share multiple items (links, photos, etc) with Stash through the iOS share sheet. Fixed.
- The editing view would dismiss too easily with seemingly random taps. Fixed.
- Stash is updated for Liquid Glass.

Keep on thinking, keep on Stashing.

### 1.2 — 2025-08-21

Just like our notes, I'll keep this short. The only update here is a smoother keyboard open animation, since that is the thing you experience the most. It will feel a ton smoother now.

### 1.1 — 2025-07-22

Just like our notes, I'll keep this short. The updates here are quality of life improvements and remove any minor annoyances or snags you might have encountered.

Bug Fixes & Updates:
- The cursor was jumping to the end of a note if you tried to add a # anywhere else in the note. Fixed.
- The trash wasn't showing your "trashed" notes and it wasn't actually deleting them after 30 days. Fixed.
- If you tried to add photos more than once to a note, it would overwrite the previous set of photos. Fixed.
- Transparent images were sending with a white background. Fixed.
- You couldn't add (or remove) photos from a note by editing it. Updated.
- You couldn't copy images and text independently from a note. Updated.

Keep on thinking, keep on Stashing.
