v0.9 July 21, 2026

This is a HUGE update and most likely the final beta version introducing new features before 1.0 is officially released. You can now save your notes as individual files on disk as a Markdown Vault. There's also been an ton of improvements for multiple displays.

  • Feature → Option to Hide Icons and Open Caret in built-in lists in list view
  • Feature → Insert Link: Auto-populate editing window if text is already selected
  • Feature → Convert to Link contextual menu should open editing window
  • Feature → Insert Link: Replace selected text instead of inserting nearby
  • Feature → Insert Link: Contextual menus
  • Feature → Support Multiple Monitors
  • Feature More improvements to the general look of Floaters. Refined and tweaked a lot of the small details.
  • Feature Displays: New section in settings window to help deal with multiple displays and changing display configurations
  • Feature → Displays: Floaters can now remember the position of each window on a per-display-configuration basis. Windows will remember their position and size when changing between, for example, having an external monitor attached or just using a laptop's built-in display
  • Feature Displays: When changing to a new display configuration, Floaters can intelligently position windows to lock to edges of the screen and/or stretch to cover similar areas on the new config.
  • Feature Displays: Screen boundaries can be set on a per-screen basis, allowing you to control if a floater can be moved off the edge of each screen
  • Feature Displays: Can now set the default screen on which new floaters will appear on multi-screen setups
  • Feature Displays: Can now set the default screen on which list windows will appear on multi-screen setups
  • Feature Displays: Various window positioning features (overlap prevention, arranging, etc) will now account for and use the screen that the floater is currently on instead of defaulting to the main screen
  • Feature Screenshots: Performance greatly improved. Will now use native system events to monitor the selected screenshots folder instead of polling. This will cause the screenshots to open instantly, and will produce much less background activity from the app
  • Feature Screenshots: Can now choose to have floating screenshots positioned near the mouse cursor instead of centered on the screen. Useful when making screenshots of a small part of the screen.
  • Feature Screenshots: Can now be deleted via Command-⌦ in addition to Command-Option-⌫ just like regular notes
  • Feature Markdown: File links can now be imported/exported as Markdown.
  • Feature Markdown: Frontmatter can now be detected and imported/exported in Markdown files. YAML, TOML, and JSON formats are all supported.
