Draw in your notes. FoldNotes now has a drawing canvas. Tap the pen in the toolbar to sketch with Apple Pencil or your finger, name the drawing if you want to, and it lands in your note as a picture. Double-tap it later and you pick up exactly where you left off — your strokes are kept, not flattened, so a drawing stays editable for as long as you keep it. A name you give a drawing becomes its caption when you preview or export the note, and drawings sync to your Mac like everything else. Also in this release • Tapping a search result, a task, or a link now takes you to that exact line rather than the top of the note. • Filtering the note list and opening a result lands on the match, not the beginning. • The widget now leads with Overdue & Upcoming, and tapping a task opens that task rather than the note it lives in. • A note you name stays named. Naming from the banner, pressing Return, or simply carrying on into the note now all do the same thing. • On Launch is now a choice of three: your last edited note, your notes list, or a new note. Choosing your notes list no longer hands you a blank note. • Images and drawings are inserted on their own line, so adding one can no longer split a task or interrupt a numbered list. • Overdue means the same thing everywhere in the app — the note list, the widget, saved queries and the task view all agree. • A daily note no longer keeps an out-of-date task block when nothing is outstanding. • Renaming an image now updates every image that refers to it.

Fixed — FoldNotes could quit while opening the note you were last working on. With "Return to last edited note" turned on, restoring that note could close the app, sometimes moments after launch and sometimes later once iCloud had caught up. Fixed — tapping a link to a note that doesn't exist did nothing in a daily note. It now offers to create the note, as it does everywhere else. Fixed — a name you typed didn't always stick. Naming a note in the banner or from the toolbar title now settles the name for good. Fixed — a name typed in the naming banner was thrown away if you tapped into the note. Fixed — a note started in Favourites could lose its favourite. Fixed — dates were written using the device's regional calendar in some countries, principally Thailand, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Dates are now always Gregorian.

Fixed — "before" could match a task due ON the date, and "after" could too. (same explanation as the Mac notes) Fixed — a note reopened at full width instead of the width you chose. On iPad especially: set a note to Narrow, close the sidebars, quit or leave the app long enough for iOS to reclaim it, and it came back full width — with Settings still correctly showing Narrow. Opening and closing the notes sidebar put it right, which was the clue: the margins were only ever recalculated when the editor's width changed, and on a cold start the editor is created at its final width, so that never happened. Changed — FoldNotes no longer opens in a second window. iPadOS was offering to open FoldNotes alongside itself, which it was never built to do: the second window came up blank, and it could leave you unable to get back to the first. Split View and Slide Over alongside other apps are unaffected. Improved — **Faster launch.** Starting up after the app has been closed for a while no longer re-examines your whole collection before settling. On a large library that is several seconds back.

Task rules can now be asked of a single task — plus a repair to the query builder on iPhone and iPad: date rules you couldn't fill in, saved queries that quietly rewrote themselves, and the filters that were only ever on the Mac. New — “Has a task where ALL of:”. Every task rule has always been a question about the note: “does this note contain a task that…”. So Task Completion is false and Task Due Date before 1 September could be answered by two different tasks — a note whose only task due before September was already finished still matched, which looked for all the world like the date being ignored. A task group asks all of its rules of one task. Tap + Add Task Rule in the query builder to start one; a query can be nothing but a group if that's the whole question. Your existing queries are untouched and keep the note-wide behaviour they were built with. Changed — “Has Tasks” now means what it says. It used to match only notes with unfinished tasks, which made it a duplicate of “Task Completion is false” and meant a note whose tasks were all ticked off counted as having no tasks at all. It now matches a note containing any task, finished or not. If you have a saved query that uses Has Tasks, expect it to return more notes than before. Fixed — "before" and "after" on Task Due Date had nowhere to put the date. You could choose the operator, but no date field ever appeared, so the rule was saved with no date and matched nothing — silently, with no warning. Under "Match all" that emptied the whole query. There is now a date picker, so the date is always one FoldNotes can read. Fixed — opening a saved query could rewrite its rules. Each rule's operator was reset to the first one in its list, so "is not" became "is", "after" became "is overdue", and "does not contain" became "contains". Saving kept the change, which meant a query you built on the Mac could be quietly rewritten by opening it on your iPhone. Operators now survive being opened and saved. Fixed — "is none" rules were dropped when saved. Task Project and Task Context both offer is none to find tasks you never assigned; the rule was discarded on the way out because it carries no value. It now saves. New — the filters that were only on the Mac. Tags gain is under and is not under, so Tag is under work matches work and every sub-tag beneath it. Date Created and Date Modified gain before and after for a fixed cut-off date, alongside the existing rolling "within last N days". Task Due Date gains within last N days for things that fell due recently. Improved — a saved query's rules now show their values. A due-date rule read simply "Task Due Date", telling you nothing about what it asked; it now reads "Due before 2026-09-01". Date rules no longer produce oddities like "Modified within 2026-01-01 days".

Widget taps now find tasks wherever they're hiding, daily notes do what you tell them, and several menu items that quietly went missing are back. • Tapping a task in a widget now works when that task sits inside a folded section. Previously nothing happened at all. FoldNotes opens the note, unfolds to reveal the task, and briefly highlights it. • Rename and the daily-note commands no longer disappear from the ••• menu on short notes. • You choose what a daily note starts with: Blank, Overdue tasks, or Overdue tasks and activity. Settings ▸ Daily Notes. • Insert or refresh the Overdue Tasks and Activity Summary blocks in any daily note, at any time, from the ••• menu. • Daily Notes now offers to start today's entry when you haven't got one, instead of saying "Nothing here". • Swipe right on a note to open the Library. • Choosing a theme while "Follow system light/dark mode" is on no longer switches that setting off. Your choice becomes your light or dark theme and the app keeps following your device. • Fixed a bright line between the note list and editor on iPad in dark themes. • With "Return to last edited note" off, FoldNotes now opens a fresh note ready to type in.

Your notes stay visible while FoldNotes catches up — after a force-quit or crash, the note list no longer hides behind "Preparing your notes…" Faster launch on a large library Read your notes from the cache while iCloud is still delivering them, read-only until the current version arrives Rebuilt text selection: double-tap for a word, triple-tap for a paragraph, tables and links respond properly Trackpad support on iPad — click-drag to select, click to place the cursor Fixed a crash after changing "Tags First in Sidebar" Widgets task taps open the right note; large widgets render reliably
