Changelog

Version 1.24.0

20 October 2026

New

• Assistant access — the assistant can now add a category or rename one, and renaming moves the lists, notes and subcategories in it to the new name, though it still can’t delete a category.

Fixed

• Renaming a category — if you had a category called “constructor”, renaming another category could clear it, and its lists and notes would lose their category. Renaming now leaves your other categories as they were.

Version 1.23.0

19 October 2026

New

• Assistant access — a new setting in Settings, off until you turn it on. While it’s on and the app is open, an assistant running on your Mac, such as the Tiong Creative assistant in Claude Desktop, can read your lists and notes, add to them and change them. Anything it deletes goes to Trash. It can’t change your settings, AI keys or backups.

Fixed

• Saving changes — two changes made at the same moment could lose one of them. Changes now save one at a time. If a note was changed somewhere else while you were editing it, the text your save replaces is kept in its version history.
• Renaming a note — changing only a note’s title could make the note open empty. Its text now stays with it.
• Deadlines — the days-left count was one too many across a daylight-saving change.

Version 1.21.0

29 September 2026

New

• Check for updates — there’s now a Check for updates button in Settings, under About. It checks straight away and tells you whether you’re up to date or a new version is ready.

Fixed

• Note search — your search now stays applied when you go back from a note, change the category or favourites filter, or create a new note. Before, the search text stayed in the box but every note showed again until you edited it.
• Local connection — tighter checks on the requests that change your lists and notes. We recommend updating.

Version 1.20.7

25 September 2026

Improved

• Newer AI models — if you use AI, Smart now runs on Claude Sonnet 5 or GPT-6 Sol, and Fast runs on Claude Haiku 4.5 or GPT-6 Luna, depending on which provider you picked. Your existing AI settings switch over by themselves, so there’s nothing to re-enter.

Fixed

• Local connection — the app’s internal connection is now limited to your Mac, with tighter request checks. We recommend updating.

Version 1.20.5

21 September 2026

Improved

• Document exports — PDF and Word exports now preserve more of your note formatting with improved Markdown structure, tables, fonts, and symbol support.
• Update information — update notices now stay available in Settings, link to these release notes, and refresh periodically while the app is open.
• App information — Settings now includes the installed version, copyright, terms, open-source licences, and an option to export privacy-tested diagnostics for support.

Fixed

• Checkboxes and symbols in PDFs — checkboxes, partial-completion markers, arrows, and other common symbols no longer appear as blank or invisible characters.
• Note editor layout — editor controls, title, category, and sidebar actions are aligned more consistently and use clearer, less intrusive styling.

Version 1.20.1

10 July 2026

Fixed

• Update notification — no longer appears incorrectly when you're already on the latest version.

Improved

• Security scanning — upgraded internal security scanning tools.
• Dependency verification — added verification checks to catch dependency issues earlier.
• Stability — minor dependency updates for improved stability.

Version 1.20.0

4 July 2026

Improvements

• Line breaks — single newlines in your notes now display as separate lines in the preview, PDF, and Word exports.
• Markdown toolbar — fixed an issue where the toolbar could collapse when clicking elsewhere on the page.
• Popout windows — improved toolbar alignment and visual consistency with the main window.
• Under the hood — expanded automated testing and security checks across the build process to catch issues earlier.

Version 1.19.0

2 July 2026

New

• Export dropdown — Export PDF, Export Word, and Copy Markdown are now combined into a single Export button with a dropdown menu.
• Markdown formatting toolbar — a new toolbar with buttons for bold, italic, heading, lists, checklist, link, code, blockquote, horizontal rule, and a quick-reference cheatsheet. Click a button to insert formatting, with placeholder text pre-selected so you can type to replace.
• Popout window parity — popout note windows now include the full Export dropdown (with PDF options modal), Word export, Copy Markdown, and the Markdown formatting toolbar.

Fixed

• Dropdown behaviour — Export, Markdown toolbar, and AI dropdowns now close each other when opened, and all dismiss when clicking elsewhere.
• Cross-window editing — when you edit a note in a popout window, the main window now reloads the latest content when you switch back, preventing accidental overwrites.

Version 1.18.1

6 June 2026

Improved

• Update banner — the update notification now appears as a prominent banner at the top of the app instead of a small link in settings, making new versions harder to miss.
• AI model update — upgraded to Claude Sonnet 4.6 for smarter AI suggestions.

Version 1.18.0

14 May 2026

Improved

• Archive categories sort last — archive and its subcategories now appear at the bottom of all category selectors, with a divider to keep things clear.
• App icon — updated icon sizing to match macOS dock guidelines for a cleaner look alongside other apps.

Fixed

• Nested category ordering — subcategories without a standalone parent no longer appear under the wrong group.
• Auto-create parent categories — adding a nested category like work/projects now automatically creates the parent work if it doesn't exist.
• Move-note modal — the "move to category" dialog now sorts archive categories last, consistent with the rest of the app.
