What's new

Every notable change to re/notes and re/task.

Coming soon

  • Native apps are coming to the App Store and Google Play - re/notes first, with re/task following shortly after. The same end-to-end encrypted notes and tasks as dedicated apps, built from this same open-source code.

v0.36.0

New

  • Added a document outline panel that lists the open note's headings; selecting one scrolls the note to that heading. It opens from the outline icon in the note header. Headings now also carry anchors, so in-note links like [Section](#section) jump to the matching heading, and a link to another note can target a specific heading.

    re/notes
  • Added an in-note table of contents: insert it from the note's actions menu to build a linked list of the note's headings, refreshed in one tap when they change. Its links reuse the same heading anchors, so they also work in a shared note and in PDF and Markdown exports.

    re/notes

Improved

  • Improved Markdown import link rewriting to preserve heading anchors: a link such as [[Doc#Heading]] now points to that heading in the imported note, not just the note's top.

v0.35.0

New

  • Added a What's new dialog that summarizes each release in plain language, grouped into New, Improved, and Fixed. It opens automatically after an update and is available any time from Settings, Information. The notes ship inside the app and are checked on the device, so the server is never told what you have already seen.

v0.34.1

Fixed

  • Fixed the Encryption X-Ray, the split view that shows your note beside the ciphertext stored on the server, drifting off-screen: the divider slid out of view on long notes and the panel sat half off-screen on short ones. It now stays pinned to the visible editor area, with snap points, keyboard control, and a remembered split position. Opens from the lock icon in the note toolbar.

v0.34.0

New

  • Added a linked-notes panel that gathers a note's backlinks and outgoing links in one place, flags mutual links, and marks broken ones. Opens from the links icon in the note toolbar, or the note's overflow menu on mobile.

    re/notes
  • Added an option to rewrite inter-note links during Markdown import: relative Markdown links and Obsidian-style [[wikilinks]] become working in-app links. It is a checkbox in the folder-import dialog, off by default.

    re/notes

June 20, 2026

v0.33.0

New

  • Added one-way folder sync on Android and iOS: a chosen folder of Markdown files on the device is imported as notes and re-synced as those files change. The folder stays the source: notes are never written back, and removing a file on disk leaves the existing note in place.

    re/notes Android iOS

Improved

  • Sped up sync on Android and iOS by fetching version history only for notes that actually changed, instead of for every note: less data transferred and shorter syncs.

    re/notes Android iOS

Fixed

  • Fixed the two-factor code field on iOS accepting only five of the six digits.

June 17, 2026

v0.32.1

Improved

  • Improved tag autocomplete with keyboard navigation (arrow keys to move through suggestions, Enter to pick); it now also clears the typed text once a tag is chosen.

    re/notes

June 15, 2026

v0.32.0

Improved

  • Improved how sync failures surface: when the server rejects a change (for example a validation error or a size limit), the affected note or task now shows a clear sync error on that item instead of failing silently.

    re/notes re/task

Fixed

  • Fixed large notes that exceeded the server's request-size limit and could not sync; the limit was raised so they upload reliably.

    re/notes
  • Fixed the task detail view leaving a task interactive after it was moved to trash; it now returns to the previous list. The search toggle is also larger and easier to tap on phones.

    re/task

June 14, 2026

v0.31.0

New

  • Added a local-only mode that runs fully offline with no account, keeping data on the device. It can later be upgraded to a synced, end-to-end encrypted account without losing anything.

    re/notes re/task
  • Added an optional passcode for local-only data, putting a lock on top of on-device storage when no account is in use.

June 13, 2026

v0.30.0

New

  • Added one-way folder sync in desktop browsers: a folder of Markdown files on disk is linked and its changes are re-imported into your notes automatically (disk to app), nested paths included. Uses the File System Access API in Chrome and Edge.

    re/notes Web
  • Added a heart icon in the navigation bar that links to ways to support the project's development.

    re/notes re/task

June 11, 2026

v0.29.0

New

  • Added saved searches: any query can be stored as a named view that re-runs live each time it is opened, rather than capturing a snapshot. Saved views appear in the search panel and can be pinned into the folder tree as smart folders.

    re/notes
  • Added native sharing on Android and iOS: shared links open straight in the app, and a note can be sent out through the device's system share sheet.

v0.28.0

Improved

  • Improved periodic-note sync to reconcile duplicates: when the same daily, weekly, or monthly note was created on two offline devices, the copies now merge into one.

    re/notes
  • Improved Live Preview rendering: a line of three dashes (---) now shows as a horizontal divider.

    re/notes
  • Improved code blocks with a one-tap copy button and a selectable last line.

    re/notes

v0.27.0

Improved

  • Extended signed-in sessions to last up to 30 days before a password is needed again.

    re/notes re/task

May 27, 2026

v0.26.0

New

  • Added push notifications for task reminders, so a reminder can reach you even when the app is closed.

    re/task

May 18, 2026

v0.25.0

Improved

  • Improved visibility in Windows High Contrast (forced-colors) mode: selected items no longer blend into the background.

    re/notes re/task Web

May 17, 2026

v0.24.0

New

  • Added copy and Markdown (.md) download to read-only shares, so anyone viewing a shared note or list can take its contents with them.

    re/notes re/task

May 16, 2026

v0.23.0

New

  • Added read-only sharing behind a private link. The snapshot stays end-to-end encrypted: the decryption key rides in the link's # fragment, which browsers never send to the server, so the server only ever stores ciphertext.

    re/notes re/task

May 12, 2026

v0.22.0

New

  • Added multi-select for notes, so several can be moved, deleted, or reorganized in a single action.

    re/notes

May 10, 2026

v0.20.0

New

  • Added shared unlock across re/notes and re/task: the two apps use one end-to-end encryption key, so unlocking either one covers both with a single password.

    re/notes re/task

May 9, 2026

v0.19.0

New

  • Added interactive checkboxes inside notes: task items that can be ticked off in place.

    re/notes

May 9, 2026

v0.18.0

New

  • Added daily, weekly, and monthly notes, reachable from the left icon rail, with a calendar view for moving between dates.

    re/notes
  • Added syncing of app preferences across devices (theme, language, date and time format, notification and editor settings), end-to-end encrypted like the rest of your data.

    re/notes re/task

May 8, 2026

v0.17.0

New

  • Added a query language to search: field operators (tag:, folder:, list:, due:, created:, modified:, is:, has:), quoted phrases, negation, and OR/AND grouping. It all runs on the device against decrypted data: the server never sees a query.

    re/notes re/task

May 2, 2026

v0.15.0

New

  • Added reminder-timing controls in Settings, Notifications: a lead time for how far ahead a reminder fires, and a default time of day for reminders that carry only a date.

    re/task

April 30, 2026

v0.14.0

New

  • Added inline image rendering in the Live Preview editor, with click-to-load: a remote image is not fetched (and your IP is not exposed to its host) until you choose to load it.

    re/notes

April 29, 2026

v0.13.0

Improved

  • Switched the default editor mode to Live Preview, with a one-time intro for going back to plain Markdown.

    re/notes

April 29, 2026

v0.12.0

New

    re/notes

April 28, 2026

v0.10.0

New

  • Added a Live Preview editing mode that renders Markdown formatting inline as you type, instead of showing raw syntax.

    re/notes

April 26, 2026

v0.9.0

Improved

  • Extended folder search to include everything in a folder's subfolders, not just its top level.

    re/notes

April 26, 2026

v0.8.0

Improved

  • Improved the first sign-in on a device with clear download progress while the encrypted data is fetched.

    re/notes re/task

April 25, 2026

v0.6.0

New

  • Added PDF export for notes through the system print dialog.

    re/notes

April 25, 2026

v0.5.0

New

  • Added nested folders, so notes can be organized in a hierarchy instead of a single flat list.

    re/notes

April 25, 2026

v0.4.0

New

  • Added Markdown import for a folder of files, with control over where they land and how duplicate names are handled.

    re/notes

April 23, 2026

v0.2.0

Fixed

  • Fixed offline sessions not restoring after a restart, and corrected the sync indicator to reflect real connectivity instead of just the browser's online flag.

    re/notes re/task

April 20, 2026

v0.1.0

New

  • Released re/notes and re/task publicly under the AGPL-3.0 license, after nearly a year of private development: end-to-end encrypted notes and tasks.
