Improved text recognition for scanned PDFs when the initial recognition pass finds no text. Clarified the in-app privacy information for optional iCloud sync, link previews and purchases. Updated our App Store listing to explain voice notes, transcription and organization more clearly.

Good morning. Or afternoon. We check first. DAILY REVIEW GREW A PERSONALITY It now knows your name, knows the day, and hands you one line from someone who thought about all this harder than we did. Marcus Aurelius, Mark Twain, Confucius and friends, a different one every morning. None of them will tell you to hustle. YOUR TO-DO LIST LEARNED TO READ Type "tomorrow 6pm" or "every monday" into a to-do and it sets the date and the repeat by itself. It used to do this only while you were creating a to-do, then play dumb the second you edited one. Embarrassing. Fixed. RENAMES ON IPAD NOW SURVIVE You renamed a to-do. iPad nodded politely and kept the old name. It has stopped doing that. SCANNED PAGES TELL THE TRUTH When text recognition cannot start on a scan, it now says so, instead of shrugging and reporting that your page had no words on it. It had words. We could see them too.

- Redesigned New Todo sheet: sub-tasks and priority are now cards, and every section has its own icon. - Overdue todos in the daily review have clearer Today and Tomorrow buttons and a tighter layout. - Fixed unchecking a completed todo doing nothing on iPad. - Fixed doubled bullet and number markers on a fresh list item. - Undo now reverses bold, italic and strikethrough, not only typed text. - A clearer upgrade screen with both plans shown side by side.

- Bulleted and numbered lists now show their markers correctly. - Fixed lists losing their formatting when you pressed Return to add a new item. - Undo and redo now work for formatting and list changes, not just typed text. - Voice notes recorded on a PDF page are now transcribed automatically..

Talk to Zen Slate. Add a todo by voice and it works out the day, the time, how urgent it is and whether it repeats, all from the way you said it. "Send the invoice tomorrow morning" lands as a todo due tomorrow at 9. Ask what's due today and hear the answer without opening anything. Open a slate, add a line to one, or tick a todo off, all without touching the screen. Adding to a slate is the one worth trying: a shopping list written a line at a time, days apart, never needs the phone unlocked again. Slates and todos now show up in Spotlight, and tapping a result opens the right one.

Zen Slate is rewritten. All of it. Version 2.0 is a native app built from scratch. It opens faster, scrolls smoothly through long documents, and holds a big slate without complaint. Your slates come across on the first launch, with their categories, tags, bookmarks and trash intact. Drawing and writing Apple Pencil with the full toolset: pen, marker, highlighter, eraser, lasso, ruler and the colour picker, on a full screen canvas Word count and reading time, and a focus mode that keeps your line at a fixed height Voice notes transcribed on your device, document scanning, and handwriting Finding things again Categories inside categories, and saved searches as smart folders Select many slates at once to file, bookmark or clear Every slate shows what links to it Todos Dates, reminders, priorities and repeats, in one list beside your writing A month view, so a heavy week is visible in advance Optional mirroring into Apple Reminders Coming from another app Import a folder of Markdown from Obsidian, Bear or iA Writer, keeping folders, tags and dates Evernote .enex files, RTF and HTML Trust Sync says what it is doing, and why when it cannot A change from another device can no longer quietly replace what you wrote: your version is kept in history Lock a slate behind Face ID, and restore any earlier draft Pro can be bought once and kept for good, rather than only subscribed to.
