On-device AI, now across your whole workflow: • Clarify with AI — sort your entire GTD inbox into Next Actions, Waiting For, Someday, Done, or Trash, all on-device. You just confirm. • Turn rambled notes into clean Markdown, clean up dictation, and suggest tags — nothing leaves your phone. Also new: • iCloud sync — keep your local vault in sync across your devices. • Next Actions, pinned to the top of your vault as a GTD dashboard. • HTML comments now render (dimmed), and single line breaks display like Obsidian. • More reliable vault syncing, including repos on any default branch.
