Version 1.31.0 October 2026

  • Text and buttons now fit better with large font sizes, small screens and long translations
  • Floating notes show up to two lines of their title

Version 1.30.0 October 2026

  • Write by hand on any note with your finger or a stylus: four ink colours, three pen sizes, eraser and undo. Long-press the handwriting on a floating note to keep writing Pro

  • Raised 3D icons that press in when you tap, with a light haptic tick
  • The mic turns red and moves with your voice while you dictate or record Pro

  • Dictating in English? Say "comma", "period", "question mark" or "new line" Pro
  • Fixes: notes shared into the app were sometimes saved twice

  • OCR bubble: drag over just the part of the screen you want to read Pro
  • Scan handwritten note: up to 5 pages at once, and Chinese, Hindi, Japanese and Korean when your phone uses that language
  • Tapping the notification opens the app; closing all notes is its own button

  • In-app update prompt: new versions download in the background and ask once, when ready, to restart
