What's New in WriteIdeas

2.0.0

October 15, 2026

WriteIdeas has been rebuilt from the ground up with a fresh, modern design. All your existing ideas, types, formatting, links and images come across automatically, and if you bought Pro, it’s still unlocked. Dark mode: follows your device, or choose light or dark yourself. Search and filter: search titles and notes, filter by idea type, and sort by title, date created or last changed. Richer notes: headings, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, strike-through and undo/redo, plus easier links and images. Tap an image to view it full size or resize it. Automatic saving: no Save button needed. Safer deleting: deleted ideas stay in your list with a countdown, so you can restore them until they’re removed. You choose how long they’re kept. Better backups: backups now work again and include your images. A restore can be undone, and backups from earlier versions still restore. iPad: your ideas list sits beside the open idea. Built-in help: answers to common questions in Settings. Fixes: ideas now sort correctly regardless of capitalisation, and type names with apostrophes work properly.

User reviews

It’s very good but i have some suggestions

The app is really good for jotting down ideas for stories and such but I have some suggestions:

1. We should be able to preview the idea and then have a button to edit it instead of just going into the edit screen when tapping the idea.

2. We should be able to share and export our ideas so that if we write story fragments we can export them into our word processor and actually add them into the book. I know you could do that with copy and paste but it would still be nice.

3. We should be able to filter and search our ideas so we can choose to only show ideas of a certain category or if we have a lot of ideas we can type in a keyword and have the one we’re looking for show up quickly without having to scroll and search it out ourselves.

4. We should be able to enable a dark theme so that if we have an idea during the night we can write it down without straining our eyes.

Other than that the app is good. I hope that you take my suggestions into consideration.
