  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Fix: after switching vaults in the same window, files attached or dragged into a note and pasted images could end up in the attachments of the vault opened before, and the note's links were looked up in that vault. They now stay in the vault you are working in. • Fix: with a pinned tab, a file dragged onto the visible note could end up in the note of the tab next to it. It now goes into the note you drop it on. • "Attach file" always lists the files of the project you are working in, even in vaults with a very large number of files. • Credits and Licenses: the license text uses the system scroll bars, like the rest of the app.
