Paper, a new theme for reading and writing: warm paper, dark ink, three shades that set the sidebar, the note list and the page apart, and it follows your iPhone or iPad between light and dark. A new Body Font setting sets note text in a serif (Settings > Appearance). Metis Light and Metis Dark are now Paper Light and Paper Dark.

Aligned table columns. A table column marked as centred or right-aligned in Markdown now renders that way when you read a note, instead of always sitting left. Plus the shared groundwork behind this release's Mac table editing.

- Tables in Reading mode keep their grid lines. On some Macs the rules between rows were missing until you scrolled, and under a dark theme they were nearly invisible. - Checkboxes inside a table cell are real checkboxes: they draw, they tick, and ticking one strikes through only its own cell. - Tapping a checkbox is no longer a game of aim - the tap target is full size instead of a sliver, and the cursor no longer lands between the brackets. - Notes written on Windows keep their tables, lists and headings instead of collapsing into plain paragraphs. - The note list has its own text size - Small, Medium or Large, separate from the editor's font slider - and each row's preview shows the note's first real sentence instead of raw Markdown.

Fixes a sign-in problem that could put you on a new account instead of the one that holds your purchase. If you use Sign in with Apple - especially with Hide My Email - Metis now points you to empiricapps.com/account to link Apple to your existing account, instead of suggesting you create a second one. Signed in and your purchase looks missing? It isn't gone. Sign in with the method you used originally, or email contact@empiricapps.com and we'll move it back to the right account.

- Link to a block of text, not just to a note: long-press a paragraph, a list item, a table or a code block in Reading (or use the editor's edit menu) and pick Copy Link to Block. Tapping the link opens the note and scrolls straight to that block. - Block ids follow Obsidian's convention, so your files stay plain Markdown and the links keep working in other editors. The ids stay hidden in Reading, search and the graph. - Search answers instantly right after opening a large vault, instead of pausing while the index builds.

Browse your notes as a tree: the note list can nest notes inside their folders, with per-folder counts - flip "View as Tree" in the list menu. The flat list stays the default, and the choice is remembered per vault. Faster vault opening on large vaults - the link graph no longer re-reads every note at launch.

Tabs on iPad: keep several notes open at once, in a row above the editor (regular width - iPhone keeps its familiar one-note flow). Tap to preview, long-press a note for "Open in New Tab", and use Cmd-Return, Cmd-W, Cmd-1..9 and Ctrl-Tab on a hardware keyboard. Your open tabs come back next launch, per vault.

Maintenance update. Metis now reports which kind of device it is running on - iPhone or iPad - when it checks your trial or licence. It is the same detail the app already sent once you signed in; no new identifier, and nothing about you or your notes. Nothing else changes.

- Send a note's tasks to Apple Reminders: open items become reminders with their dates and times, in a Metis list of their own or any list you pick. One direction, no duplicates, nothing written into your Markdown. - Dates can be written 15/09/2026 or 2026-09-15, with an optional time - a task with a time gets a reminder that rings then. - iPad: line numbers in the editor (Settings > Editor). - Fixed: a new note now opens with its name focused, ready to be typed over.

- Mermaid diagrams now render at their natural size instead of filling the page, with Small / Natural / Large / Fit Width in Settings > Editor. - Room under the last line: once a note fills the screen, the editor keeps space beneath it, so writing at the end of a long note no longer happens against the bottom edge or behind the keyboard. - Tap the empty space below the last line to put the caret at the end of the note.

- The agenda comes to iPhone and iPad: every task in your vault, grouped by due date, with Open and Completed. Tick an item and it is saved back to its note. - Create folders and subfolders on iOS, then move notes into them. - Note properties: set due dates, status, owner and your own custom keys from the phone. - Resolve iCloud sync conflicts on iOS - see both versions of a note and pick the one that wins. - Ask Vault now sits beside search, and its answers are formatted instead of raw Markdown. - Fixes: text no longer overlaps a table in Reading mode after a diagram loads, and a duplicate folder name now tells you.

- Outline: tap the panel button to see every heading in the note, and tap one to jump straight there. A side panel on iPad, a sheet on iPhone. - The graph beside your note (iPad): see what the open note links to, one or two hops out, without leaving the note. Tap a node to open it. - Metis Light and Metis Dark: the app's own colour palettes, alongside the ten classics. - Themes now colour buttons, links and selection too, not just backgrounds. - The Agenda shows formatted task text instead of raw Markdown. - Search finds notes whose names contain punctuation.

- Custom colors: pin text, background, headings and links to colors you choose, on top of any theme. - Peek a link: long-press a [[link]] while reading to see the target note - or just the linked section - without leaving the page. - Templates on iPhone and iPad: New from Template fills in the title, date and time for you, and you can create templates on device. - Tags in the graph: turn every tag into its own node to see your clusters. - Edit Link Text: long-press a link to change what it shows without changing where it goes. - Faster to notice edits made in other apps.

Reliability fixes for notes and folders. - Fixed: renaming a note that lives in a folder now keeps it in that folder instead of moving it to the top of your vault. - Fixed: the note list could show a stale title for a note you had just renamed. - Fixed: duplicated files (for example a note copied in the Files app) no longer confuse selection - each copy now stands on its own. - Small fixes and polish under the hood, shared with the Mac app.

- Open Markdown files in Metis straight from the Files app or a share sheet. - Opening a .md from a new folder offers to open that folder as a vault. - Polish and fixes.

- Images in subfolder notes render again. An image embedded in a note that lives in a subfolder showed "Image not found" in Reading mode - the vault-relative `attachments/...` link was resolved against the note's own folder instead of the vault root. Now it falls back to the vault root, so already-written notes display correctly (Mac + iPad + iPhone). - The attachments folder is hidden. The app-managed `attachments/` folder is now flagged hidden, so it stays out of your Finder/Files listings instead of cluttering them (Mac + iOS). - Paste an image into the editor (Mac). Pasting a copied or screenshotted image now works: the Paste command is enabled for an image-only clipboard (it was greyed out before), and a JPEG-only clipboard is handled too. The image is copied into the vault and linked at the caret. - Note-properties panel is a session toggle (Mac). The properties bar no longer re-appears on every note that has front matter. Hide it once and it stays hidden for every note you open this session; show it and it stays shown - until you toggle again.

- List & task buttons in the editor. The Wysiwyg formatting bar (Mac floating bar + iOS keyboard bar) now has bulleted list, numbered list, and task list (checkbox) buttons. Tapping one toggles the prefix across the selected lines: same kind again removes it, numbered lists renumber from 1, blank lines are left alone, a checkbox on a numbered item keeps its number, and clicking on an empty line starts a fresh item. - Nicer task checkboxes. Checkboxes now draw as real, text-sized rounded boxes (Mac + iPad + iPhone) instead of raw [ ] brackets - checked ones fill with the accent colour and a checkmark. The file on disk still stores standard [ ] Markdown. - Folders open their first note. Selecting a folder now auto-opens its first note in the detail pane instead of leaving it blank (Mac). It keeps your current selection if that note already lives in the folder. - Clearer lock prompt. Locking a note while your notes session is locked now shows an "Unlock to Lock This Note" prompt that explains the session must be unlocked first, instead of a generic "Unlock Notes" dialog that read like you were opening something.

Attach images to your notes: - Add photos from your library, or paste an image you copied from another app. - Attached images now show in Reading mode. Polish and fixes: - The theme accent color now carries through the graph and settings screens. - Notes imported from Obsidian with tag lists now show their tags. - Fixed the graph "Open" button wrapping its label.

The knowledge graph is now a full navigator on iPhone and iPad: - Tap a node to light up its connections and dim the rest. - Color nodes by tag, with a legend. - Filter the graph by title, and hide notes that have no links. - Tune the layout with repulsion / link-distance / gravity sliders. Pinch to zoom and drag nodes to arrange.

iOS is updating from live 1.2.1, so only the items that actually ship on iOS: - Numbered checklists are now tappable: write "1. [ ] task" and check items off right in the editor. - Inline emoji: type :rocket: (or :tada:, :bug:, :white_check_mark:...) and pick from the popup to drop in the emoji. - A fix for numbered lists in Reading mode after pasting.

Encrypted notes now sync across your devices. Lock a note on your Mac and open it on iPhone with the same password - the notes password is now shared through iCloud. (In 1.2.0 each device used its own key, so a locked note couldn't be opened on a second device.)

Lock private notes - Lock any note with a single password and Face ID. Locked notes are encrypted on disk and in iCloud, and stay out of search - not just hidden. Wysiwyg editing - New Settings toggle that hides Markdown markers as you type for a clean, formatted look. Swipe right on a note to lock it fast. Plus a refreshed welcome screen and polish throughout.

Reliability fixes for notes and folders. - Fixed: renaming a note that lives in a folder now keeps it in that folder instead of moving it to the top of your vault. - Fixed: the note list could show a stale title for a note you had just renamed. - Fixed: duplicated files (for example a note copied in the Files app) no longer confuse selection - each copy now stands on its own. - Small fixes and polish under the hood, shared with the Mac app.

Markdown now (almost) types itself. - New: Markdown typing assist. Pairs like **, backticks, brackets and parentheses close themselves as you type, and typing the closing character never doubles it. - Select some text and type a formatting character to wrap the selection. - Return continues bullet lists, checklists, numbered lists (auto-numbered) and quotes; Return on an empty item ends the list. Return after closes the code fence for you. - Prefer typing everything yourself? Turn it off in Settings > Editor.

Code blocks got a serious upgrade. - Much richer syntax highlighting: types, function calls, attributes and properties are now colored - not just keywords and strings - with dedicated support for Swift, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, SQL, JSON, YAML, CSS, HTML and shell. - Reading view now syntax-colors your code and gives it a theme-matched background, so code in your notes reads like code in an editor. - Every theme (Dracula, Nord, One Dark, Monokai and friends) carries hand-picked colors for the new token kinds.
