markdown notes - Smolpad

NEW • A Trash for deleted notes. A deleted note goes to the Trash, under your folders. Touch and hold it there (right-click on the Mac) to Restore it or Delete Now; Empty Trash clears it all. The Trash is a folder inside your notes folder, so it syncs, and its notes don't count toward the free plan's ten. • Note history. Smolpad keeps earlier versions of every note, so words lost to a sync, a slip or a change of mind can come back. Choose History on a note to see its versions by date and time and Restore one. A version is kept when you come back to a note, before a large deletion, when the note goes to the Trash, and just before a sync from another device replaces what you wrote. Versions are plain text files in a hidden folder inside your notes folder, so they sync too. History is free. • Home Screen widgets (Pro). Open Note, on iPhone, shows a note of your choice. On iPhone and iPad, Quick Actions is four tiles, New Note, Search, Daily Note and Save Clipboard, and Recently Edited lists the notes you touched last. • Tiny5, a pixel font, in Settings > Editor > Font: every letter on a grid five pixels tall, with its own bold and italic. • Check for changes yourself. Pull the note list down on iPhone and iPad, or click the bubble in the Mac's footer (Command-R), and Smolpad asks your storage for anything new. • Select several notes. On the Mac, Command-click and Shift-click, then right-click to move, pin, archive, export or trash them together. On iPhone and iPad, Select Notes in the Sort menu puts a circle on every row, with Move, Export and Delete at the foot. • Clippings can carry their source (Mac). With Include the page title and link on (Settings > General > Shortcut), text taken from a web page lands in today's note as a quote with a link to the page. • Export a note as Markdown (Pro), beside PDF, HTML and rich text, to keep a copy wherever you like; a selection exports the same way. • Hold Command-Q to quit (Mac). A quick Command-Q puts the panel away; holding it quits. Settings > General > Popup has the switch. • iPhone Duo. Unfolded, the note list sits beside the note as on iPad; folded, Smolpad is the iPhone it always was. Where iOS keeps a bar along the edge, the buttons move into it, Search nearest your thumb. • Anonymous usage statistics. Once a day, Smolpad counts which settings and features are in use, so we can tell what to improve. It never sends your notes or anything you type, and Settings > General > Share anonymous usage statistics turns it off. CHANGED • The panel torn off into a window has the Mac's own window buttons, Minimize, Zoom and Enter Full Screen in its menus, and the formatting bar floating over the note, as on iPad. FIXED • A note edited on another device updates on an iPhone or iPad that is already open (iCloud); it used to wait for a relaunch. • A note's pictures go with it to another folder, to the Trash, and back. • A note you move or rename stays on Dropbox, pCloud and Google Drive the whole time, and hidden folders there, like Obsidian's, are left alone. • Add to Today's Note in the Services menu leaves you in the app you were in (Mac). • Also: Backspace at the start of a task removes its checkbox, a shared web page links to the right address even with parentheses or spaces in it, and the note list's dates keep up.
