Notada · Release notes

Notada 1.3 October 5, 2026

Your notes now live in iCloud Drive › Notada when iCloud Drive is on, moved there from Documents at first launch. Edits from two Macs are merged line by line.
A line under your notes shows what the keys do on the caret’s line. Hold ⌘ to see it while scrolled up.
⌘↩ now reopens a done, dropped, or answered line, and on an empty line takes the suggestion on the line above.
The list shows the newest first, with older rows behind a Show 9 older line when it outgrows the window. ⌥⌘L moves the keyboard into the list, where the arrows move between rows.
Item › Open Link, ⌘O, opens the link or image on the caret’s line, and View › Show Decisions opens the decisions.
The window can be narrowed to half a laptop screen.
VoiceOver now reads the list, the search field, and the palette. With Reduce Motion on, switching notepads and showing the list fade instead of slide.
Fixes: a save that fails now says so until it succeeds. Each notepad has its own undo, and the window keeps its place across restarts. Return after closing a line no longer carries the stamp onto a new todo, and Tab before a todo no longer takes it out of the list. Escape closes the trial and license sheets, and code wraps as it does in a terminal.

Notada 1.2 September 30, 2026

Indented lines under a todo, question, or decision are now its details, marked with a thin line beside them. Press Return twice after an item, or Shift+Return, to start them; a third Return leaves the list.
An open question now shows a ring instead of a todo’s square, and its text is no longer italic.
Holding ⌥ or turning on Show Ages now shows every item’s age, in days under two weeks.
The slash palette lists Todo, Question, Decision in the list’s order, and each row shows its mark and what to type for it.
After due:, a faint hint shows the kinds of date you can type.
The slash palette and the image preview have a thin outline, so they read as over the page.
A row in the list lights up as soon as the pointer reaches it.

Notada 1.1.8 September 28, 2026

Ages are out of sight in the list. Hover a row to see how long it has been open, hold ⌥ to see every age, or turn on View › Show Ages to keep them.
The list now uses a material background.
A due date that is today is set in the accent color.
A decision’s row in the list no longer shows an age.
With two or more notepads, the notepad’s name at the top of the list is larger, as you typed it.
On a new day, Return alone no longer writes today’s header; the first letter does, so a day with nothing typed leaves nothing in the file.
Fixes: a due or done label no longer leaves a gap after it; the first date in the notes sits on the same line as the top of the list; a click on a mark in the notes acts when you let go, so a press you move off does nothing.

Notada 1.1.7 September 27, 2026

On a log shorter than the window, the first edit at its end no longer moves every line up.
Typing /q or /d on an empty item no longer flashes a row in the list before the line changes kind.

Notada 1.1.6 September 27, 2026

Only an open todo or question keeps a mark in the log. A done or answered line has a faint tick, and a question is set in italic.
On a new day, today’s header shows where the first keystroke will write it, before you type.
Return at the end of a - or 1. line continues the list, and Return inside an item splits it in two.
The caret can enter a link with the arrow keys and edit its address in place.
In the palette, Todo, Question, or Decision on an empty item turns it into that kind. The Today’s header row is gone.
The list keeps its width, and whether it is hidden, from one launch to the next.
An assistant gets a start_of_day prompt and days and settled tools, and a read that names no notepad reads them all.
After you buy, the key page has an Open in Notada link that enters the key for you.
Fixes: a done, dropped, or answered line no longer shows its due date in red; ⌥⌫ and ⌘⌫ no longer take an item’s marker or the day’s header; a ? or due:fri now counts when you leave the line; an accented first letter on a new day writes the header; a click beside a list row’s box no longer scrolls the log.

Notada 1.1.5 September 24, 2026

⌘F searches the notepad: the log marks every match and steps through them, and the list shows only the rows that match.
⌘N opens New Notepad…. New Window and window tabs are gone, and the menu bar has one View menu.
Right-click an item’s box in the log for the list row’s menu: Close or Answer, Drop, or Reopen.
The list shows how long an item has waited from a week on, in weeks and months; under a week it shows nothing.
A small chevron after the notepad’s name at the top of the list shows it opens the Notepad menu.
Typing and moving the caret in a long log no longer lag.
Help › Notada Help opens notada.app instead of saying no help is available.
The pointer no longer flickers over an item’s box.

Notada 1.1.4 September 22, 2026

On a Mac with Apple Intelligence, a dashed box beside a line you wrote today proposes marking it a todo, question, or decision. Click it or press ⌘↩ to accept.
Item › Suggest turns each kind of suggestion off.
⌘↩ on any line of prose, or Item › Mark as Todo, makes it a todo.
A line of three or more backticks opens a code block, and a line of as many closes it.
Edit › Paste as Code, ⌥⇧⌘V, pastes the clipboard as a code block.
notada append refuses an item while today’s notes end inside an open code block.
Text pasted or dropped at the end of your notes on a new day lands under today’s header.

Notada 1.1.3 September 15, 2026

Links show as short words, like github.com/…/pulls, and open in your browser with a click.
Paste or drop an image into your notes: it is saved beside them and shows as one word, which opens the picture.
A checkbox no longer vanishes when its line is clicked. Syntax shows raw only while the caret is inside it.
List rows wrap to four lines instead of two.
An item with no text yet no longer puts an empty row in the list.
In the slash palette, Tab completes like Return, and Backspace back into a slash word reopens it.
Notada › Send Feedback… opens a mail to hello@notada.app with your version filled in.

Notada 1.1.2 September 14, 2026

A list line indented with spaces or a tab wraps under its text.
Several notepads in one window. Each is a folder under Documents/Notada with its own log.md.
The name at the top of the list opens the Notepad menu. It shows only with two or more notepads.
Switch notepads with a two-finger swipe, ⌘1–⌘9, ⌘⇧[ and ⌘⇧], or the Notepad menu.
New, Rename, Delete, Move Left, and Move Right are in the Notepad menu.
A folder made or removed in Finder shows up in the app.
Each notepad keeps its own caret, scroll position, and undo.
With two or more notepads, notada refuses a command that names none. Pass --notepad NAME or set NOTADA_NOTEPAD.
notada notepads lists them.
An assistant on the MCP server gets a notepads tool, and every tool takes a notepad argument.

Notada 1.1.1 September 13, 2026

The list’s sections now read Todos, Questions, Decisions.
Answering a question keeps it a question: its circle fills and answered with the date follows it.
Answer, from the question’s glyph or ⌘↩ on its line, stamps it and puts the caret under today, ready for the answer.
When the question is not the last line written today, Answer also echoes it under today as > text.
A line starting with > reads as a quote, in muted text.
Reopening an answered question makes it a question again.
Questions in the list are no longer muted.
notada close on a question stamps it and keeps its marker.

Notada 1.1 September 12, 2026

The notada command line now ships inside the app, at Notada.app/Contents/Helpers/notada. To use it from a shell, add a symlink to it on your PATH.
notada close marks an open item done, stamped with today’s date.
notada version prints the app’s version.
notada mcp is a local MCP server, so an assistant on your Mac can read and write your notes. Setup is at notada.app/ai.
Through it an assistant can read your open items, questions, decisions, and log, and append a line or close an item.
Assistants connected to it gain two slash commands, standup_brief and carry_forward.

Notada 1.0.3 September 12, 2026

In the slash palette, ↑ on the first row selects the last, and ↓ on the last selects the first.
The scroll bars in the log and the list stay the thin overlay kind, whatever mouse is connected.
Notada sends anonymous usage data to PostHog, never anything from your notes.
After a crash, the next launch sends a crash report, with any text removed first.
Notada › Share Usage Data, on by default, turns both off.

Notada 1.0.2 September 12, 2026

The notes folder is now Documents/Notada.
From five days before the free trial ends, a line at the foot of the list says how many days are left.
When Notada can’t open your notes, the window opens as a viewer and a line at the foot of the list says why.
The prompt that asks for access to your Documents folder now says what it is for.
Notada › Release Notes opens the release notes in your browser.

Notada 1.0.1 September 12, 2026

A packaging release. The download on notada.app is now a disk image, so a fresh install lands in Applications, where updates can reach it. Nothing in the app itself changed.

Notada 1.0 September 12, 2026

The first release.

Notada is a page for your meeting notes, one day after another, with a list beside the text of every open todo and question, sorted by how long each has been waiting. Start a line with [] for a todo, ? for a question, or ! for a decision; end it with due:fri when you mean a date. Everything else is just text, stored exactly as written in one Markdown file in your Documents folder.

Close an item in the list and the line it came from closes with it. ⌘↩ closes the current line, ⇧⌘↩ drops it, ⌘L hides the list, and / opens the palette.

The notada command line reads the list as JSON and appends or closes lines, so an assistant of your choosing can work with your notes. The app itself calls no models and has no account.

Updates arrive through this window. Nothing else is sent anywhere.
