Beauty 1.2

Every checklist in one place, and a formatting bar made of glass.

Beauty 1.2 is out for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Todos gathers every checklist from every note, a new Liquid Glass formatting bar opens right where you type, and your favorite notes can live at the top of the library. Here is the tour.

Todos: every checklist, in one place

Checklists scatter. A reading list lives in one note, a dinner plan in another, the morning routine in a third. Todos gathers every one of them into a single view, grouped by the note it came from, without moving anything: each task stays in its note, as plain Markdown.

Filter as you type, sort notes by when you last edited them or by how many tasks are still open, and hide a task for a week when it can wait. Tick a box in Todos and its note updates too. Prefer a quieter sidebar? Switch Todos off in Settings.

On the Mac: filtering for “read”, hiding a task for a week, and sorting notes by most open.

A Liquid Glass formatting bar

On iPhone, the formatting bar now rides on the keyboard, right where you type, in Liquid Glass. Tap a group, like Style or Lists, and the bar reshapes into its tools instead of opening a menu. Tap the arrow to go back, or tuck the bar away when you only want to write.

On iPhone: the bar rises with the keyboard, and Style becomes bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and highlight.

Pin your favorites

Some notes you open every day. Pin them, and they move to a Pinned section at the top of your library, above every folder. On the Mac, right-click a note and choose Pin. On iPhone, press and hold it.

On the Mac: two notes pinned from the sidebar.

Press and hold, or drag

Press and hold a note or folder for its quick actions. For a note, that is Pin, Rename, Select, and Delete. Or hold it and drag it into another folder to move it.

On iPhone: a note's quick actions, then another note dragged into a folder.

Sturdier iCloud sync

With Beauty Maximus, the optional subscription, your notes, folders, images, and version history sync through your own iCloud account. In 1.2 that sync is more reliable. Your notes stay plain Markdown files either way, and the editor itself stays free.

Smoother images, one Settings sheet

Images in your notes are smoother, and every setting now lives in one Settings sheet, from your library and the sidebar to connections and sync. Plus many small refinements across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
