Notebooks 13 focuses on a refined and more flexible user experience.  This update introduces multi-window support and three-column split view on iPad, Liquid Glass support, and a new sidebar with a hierarchical list of books and more.  You'll also notice new icons, visual refinements, and numerous smaller improvements throughout the app. As part of this update, some menus and buttons have been refined and reorganized to better support the new layout.  You find all the details about this update on our website.

This is a brief update while we are finalizing a much more comprehensive one. - When a task becomes due, you can mark it as done or snooze it for 10 minutes directly from the alert on your Apple Watch or from Notification Center. This update also adds more options to PDF creation, addresses a layout glitch in the Callouts document style, avoids duplicates when extracting tasks containing colons (:), and resolves (incomplete) internal links more effectively. In addition, it contains several changes to ensure compatibility with future iOS versions.

This update includes stability improvements, and particularly ensures that embedded images display reliably on iOS 18.2 and earlier, keeps the keyboard visible on iPad devices when creating a formatted document (iOS 18.3 and later), and fixes a crash that can occur when Notebooks is in the background.

• Extracted tasks are saved to a dedicated book, which is now automatically created again when required. This reverts a change we made in Notebooks 12.8.

This update addresses a small issue with formatted documents on iOS 18.4.

• Quickly add photos, scans and documents directly from the app icon. • Show the number of open tasks per document (Markdown and formatted). • Formatted documents can turn selected text into Wiki Links. • PDF documents offer a new option to summarize annotations. • Task markers at the beginning of lines behave like list items in plain text. • Compile Documents automatically selects the best output format and lets you set title and separator. • Context tags (like @tag) are highlighted and colorized in plain text and rendered Markdown. • New scans use a timestamp as title prefix. • Improved reliability for the Notebooks Watch App, with support for long-press actions. • When sharing formatted text, images are embedded correctly (especially on iOS 18). • Dropbox sync avoids reappearing deleted items after manual sync.

Notebooks 12.7.3 is a minor update with several enhancements and corrections. • Settings: Fixed an issue that the automatic link management setting could have been cleared after restart. • Plain Text: Improved typing performance in long text when power-saving mode is active. • Insert Photos: When adding photos from album, preserve the original size and format when possible. • Due Tasks: When a task's alert time is updated on another device, make sure to display a notifications at alert time. • Markdown: Accept Markdown tasks starting with * (e.g., "* [ ]"). • Mermaid: Make sure that graphs render correctly on older iOS versions. • Miscellaneous improvements and fixes.

This update addresses a potential crash on startup.

This is a minor update to address a potential freeze when downloading a large number of documents from iCloud. It also contains a few enhancements and corrections. • iCloud - Reduced risk of freezes or hangs when downloading a large number of documents from iCloud. - Improved handling for situations where iCloud is not immediately available, such as when launching Notebooks right after restarting your iPhone or iPad. • Duplicates as... Plain Text generates more refined results for Markdown and formatted documents. • Actions under "Process... > Duplicate as..." function correctly when accessed from the document list’s context menu. • Miscellaneous improvements and fixes.

This update enhances support for custom classes with a new document theme "Callouts", provides an option to adjust text brightness in dark appearance, and more. Additions The document theme "Callouts" includes the classes Box, Hint, Info, Note, Attention, and Warning. In formatted documents, these classes are selectable from the paragraph menu, in Markdown you can use the `>%...%` notation with auto-suggestions (like >%hint%). In dark appearance, text appears "bright" by default, a new option "dimmed text colors" is available in settings. (Solarized appearance remains unchanged.) Enhancements for Markdown - For improved compatibility with MathJax, Notebooks replaces the commonly used inline math notation `$...$` with the official MathJax-compatible notation `\(...\)`. To ensure that this does not affect documents unintentionally, *Notebooks* applies the replacement only when the selected document theme includes MathJax, or when the word "MathJax" appears in the document, including comments. - Fixed layout issue in checklists with empty items. - Improved support for the `> %class%` notation in MultiMarkdown. - Autocompletion now includes `{{TOC}}` and `{{pagebreak}}` for `{{}}` syntax. - Resolved Markdown display issue in iOS beta versions.
