Changelog

A new encryption format. Each note file is now encrypted together with the note it belongs to, so an encrypted file moved into another note's place no longer opens. A space is converted once, in the background, the first time it opens, and a notice appears once when it is done. Update every other device that opens the same space folder through iCloud Drive or a shared folder: older versions cannot open a converted space. Devices that only sync with this one are not affected.

Data safety. A review of sync and storage fixed a number of problems. A structure file that cannot be read is never written over, and one note or attachment that cannot be opened no longer stops a whole sync.

Memory. The app uses less memory in spaces with a great many notes.

A quit as a sync ended. The app could quit at the exact moment a sync transfer finished.

Notes open at once, even while a big database loads. Opening or editing another note no longer waits for a database with many items to finish loading. The difference is largest for spaces on an external drive or SD card.

The last thing you typed is kept. What you type just before closing a tab, locking with ⌘L, switching spaces or quitting is now saved. One note whose save is refused no longer holds up saving the others.

A locked space stays locked. A space you locked with ⌘L is no longer reopened with its saved password when a new window opens. Quitting also ends any background AI run that was still going.

Databases. Editing a column in a table no longer undoes columns added or removed on another device or in another window. Percent fields are edited as shown (85 for 85%), and moving an item to another day in the calendar keeps its time. While a big space is downloading for the first time, a database that has not arrived yet says it is still arriving from your other devices, and the images and cover of the open note come first.

Changes from other devices show at once. A note lock, permission or tag changed by sync reaches the open note right away. The daily note is found by its date, not its title.

Fewer pauses in big spaces. Search, the trash, attachments, to-dos, tags, the calendar and imports do their work in the background instead of holding up the window.

What you are looking at comes first. While a big space is downloading for the first time, the inline databases, covers and images of the note you have open are fetched first. A database that has not arrived yet says it is still arriving from your other devices instead of ‘This database no longer exists’, and a cover appears when it arrives without reopening the note.

Big spaces on external drives. Opening a space of tens of thousands of notes on an exFAT drive, and starting its sync, now reads each folder once instead of looking up every note's file, so there is less waiting.

Add to ChatGPT. One click on ‘Add to ChatGPT’ in Settings ▸ AI connection registers memost in the Codex config (~/.codex/config.toml), which the ChatGPT app and the Codex CLI both read.

Your AI connection settings are kept. Clicking ‘Add to Claude Desktop’ or ‘Add to ChatGPT’ again changes only the bridge path and keeps what you put in memost's entry yourself (environment variables, startup timeout and so on). The config as it was before memost first changed it stays in .bak, and the config is written in full before it replaces the old one, so an interruption never leaves a truncated file. A config kept as a symbolic link stays a link, and the file it points to is written.

Fixes. A ✨ AI command run in the background no longer stays running after it is done, and a command that starts with ‘-’ now runs in Claude Code and Codex. memost opened straight from Downloads or a disk image no longer writes a temporary path that soon disappears into the AI apps' settings; it asks you to move memost to the Applications folder first.

Sub-notes. A note can hold notes. Type /Add note in a note to make a new note under it, with a link in its place. In the sidebar, notes fold and unfold like folders, and dropping a note on the middle of another puts it underneath. Databases made inside a note show under that note too, and the path bar runs through the parent notes.

Database item templates. Make a template from a database’s ⋯ menu, and every new item starts with its title, body, property values, icon and cover. A database inside the template is made anew, empty, for each item.

New items go on top. Items added with the bar’s “Add item” or a group header’s ＋ appear first, so a long table needs no scrolling to find them. The ＋ under a table still adds at the bottom.

Database row height. Settings ▸ Fonts sets the height of a database’s list lines and table rows.

Your own sidebar order. The order of the top-level rows and sections is now each person’s, so someone else rearranging a shared space no longer moves yours. Inside a folder, notes can sit before or between subfolders.

Drag attachments into a note. A file dragged from the Attachments list into a note goes in as the same attachment, with no copy made.

Connect ChatGPT. Settings ▸ AI connection shows the command that connects the Codex CLI and the ChatGPT app to memost.

Notion import. Right-click Unfiled, a section or a folder in the sidebar and choose Import from Notion… to bring it in right there. A Notion page’s sub-pages come in as sub-notes under it, in the order its body links them, instead of a folder of the same name.

Fixes. A title changed in a database item opened as a note was undone by the next autosave; an organization member just added to a share on the web had to wait for the admin’s approval; and on an admin’s second device the member switches all showed as off. Notes unfolded in the sidebar now stay unfolded after a relaunch, and a Notion import no longer turns a text column whose values repeat (notes, remarks…) into a select. Notion’s Markdown export carries no property types, so select columns now come in as text too.

Lock a note. The Document Info (ⓘ) panel has a “Lock note” checkbox under the description. While it is checked, the note’s content, title and properties can’t be changed — no typing or deleting, and no moving or rearranging blocks. It can still be moved to another folder or put in the Trash. The lock syncs, so the note is locked on your other devices too; uncheck it to edit again.

Sort a database by note info. Created, Modified, Opened, Author and Tags can now be chosen as sort keys, whether or not the table shows those columns.

AI recording — your words, written into the note. Press the 🎙 button in the note toolbar to start recording, and what you say is written into the note sentence by sentence. Speech recognition runs on this Mac with a Whisper model; neither the sound nor the text leaves it. Once, choose a language and a model in Settings ▸ AI connection ▸ AI speech recognition and download the model.

Listen again from a time chip. Each sentence gets its start–end time; press it to hear that part again. The recording is attached to the note, and an attached recording plays right there with its ▶ button.

Speaker labels. When several people talk, as in a meeting, sentences are grouped by voice and start with “Speaker 1”, “Speaker 2”. Press a label to rename every label of that speaker. Turn it on under Speaker labels in Settings ▸ AI connection ▸ AI speech recognition.

Recordings are not lost. Locking or quitting stops the recording and saves it, and a recording that could not be saved in full is recovered the next time the space opens.

Sign-in help for background AI runs. When a background run fails because the Claude Code or Codex CLI sign-in has ended, the ✨ window says so and offers a button to sign in again in Terminal.

English Settings window. The AI connection and PRO tabs no longer go missing in English.

Notes you work on with AI — connect AI apps over MCP. memost now supports MCP (Model Context Protocol). Claude (the desktop app and Claude Code), the ChatGPT desktop app and Codex on this Mac connect to memost over MCP to find and read your notes, create new ones and edit them. Turn it on in Settings ▸ AI connection and allow each space the AI may work in. An AI app connecting for the first time must be approved on this Mac, and the connection never leaves this Mac. Organization spaces cannot be connected yet.

AI edits can be undone. An AI's edits are marked in the version history, and in an open note ⌘Z takes them back.

✨ AI command. The ✨ button in the note toolbar and in the toolbar that appears when you select text sends a request about the note you are looking at, or the selected text, to the connected AI app.

Saved prompts and shortcuts (October 30 build). Save the requests you use often in the ✨ window and give them shortcuts. Select blocks in a note, press the shortcut, and that prompt is sent at once. Drag saved prompts to reorder them; the ✨ window opens with the last command you sent.

Run without a window (October 30 build). Choose Claude Code or Codex CLI in the background as the destination, and the command runs right away — no switching apps and pressing Return. Progress and the answer show in the ✨ window.

Settings tab order (October 30 build). The PRO tab in the Settings window is now the last one on the right.

Drag notes into a database. Drop a note from the sidebar or a folder list onto an open database, or onto a database block inside a note, and it becomes an item of that database. It is moved, not copied.

Move folders freely. Drag a top-level folder into another folder, or a subfolder up to the top level.

Pick graph folders. The graph view's section filter is merged into the folder filter, which now shows the folder tree from the top-level folders down.

Narrow windows. Note names in the folder list wrap to two lines, and dates make way first when space runs short. When the sidebar is narrow, the new note, new folder and settings buttons move into a ⋯ button.

Favorites are personal. Favorites are no longer shared by the whole space; they are shared only among devices of the same account. Other owners' and participants' favorites do not appear in your sidebar, and yours do not reach them. Your existing favorites stay as they are.

Duplicate a note. Right-click a note in the sidebar or a folder list and choose "Duplicate Note": a copy named with "(copy)" appears right below it in the same folder. Images and attachments are shared with the original; databases inside the note are copied along with their rows.

A sidebar of folders. Sections (such as Home) appear as folder rows instead of bold headings. Right-click one for the same menu a folder has (new subfolder, add a page or database, add to favorites and more). Favorites is a row with a star, folded and unfolded with its arrow.

One space password. Each space has one password, and only its owners know it. Owners can change it from Space info. Participants open the space with Touch ID or their Mac password instead.

Only trusted devices. Only devices an owner approved and signed receive a space's content. Approving a join request and changing someone's role or permissions ask for the space password once. Space info shows each device's status, and you can remove a device you no longer use.

Confirm devices from any owner device. Owner devices share the list of devices waiting for confirmation, so a phone that only reaches the host can be approved on this Mac.

One device, one row. Reinstalling the app or bringing a space back again is recognized as the same device. Unverified devices that have piled up can be cleared at once with "Clean up old unverified devices…" in Space info ▸ Users.

One Mac, several accounts. Add several accounts in Settings ▸ PRO and choose the default account and the one that hosts. Pick which account each space syncs with in Space info; disconnecting an account from this Mac cleans up its spaces safely.

Organization spaces without a password. Spaces your organization shares arrive with no password to type.

Once, at first launch. The first time you run this version, your spaces move to the new scheme; if you are an owner, you are asked in turn to start owner signatures or to confirm waiting devices.

Sync that doesn't lose notes. A device that had not finished receiving a space could delete notes on your other devices; that is fixed. When another device tries to delete many notes at once (or over a day), they are not deleted right away: you are asked whether to bring them back or apply the deletion.

Notes deleted on another device are kept for 30 days. A note that disappears here because another device deleted it stays in the trash under "Deleted on another device" for 30 days, ready to restore. The sidebar tells you when notes were kept.

Who deleted it. Only what a person moves to the trash or empties from it is deleted on other devices, and the trash shows who deleted each item. The app never deletes a note on its own: a file it cannot find is fetched again from another device.

No more uploads and conflicts from just reading. A note that was only open on another device kept being uploaded, and text typed in one go on one device could end up in a "merge conflict" box. Both are fixed.

Sync status bar. It now appears only while notes or attachments are actually being sent or received; a sync that only compares lists is no longer shown.

If you share a space with other devices. Update them too. Notes deleted on an older version carry no record of who deleted them, so this version asks before deleting them.

Notes as dashboards. Drag any block onto the left or right edge of another block and the two sit side by side in columns. Drag the divider between columns to change their widths, or make them straight away with 2, 3 or 4 columns from the slash menu. On a narrow screen the columns stack.

Note cards. After you pick a note with @, choose whether it goes in as a link or a card. A card shows the note like a bookmark: its icon, folder path, current title, the start of its text, its cover and when it was edited.

Resizing and ＋ to add. Drag to change the width of videos, PDFs, drawings and bookmarks, and the height of the PDF viewer. Hover over a block's handle (⠿) and a ＋ appears above and below it; click one to add a new block on that side.

Databases inside notes. A database in a note loads its first 20 rows, and "+ Load more" brings in the rest, so large databases open quickly. Each block remembers its view tab, whether its title shows, how many rows it lists and its height; there is now search and a list view, and the table sits in a rounded, card-like frame. Clicking inside a database no longer selects the whole block, and renaming a database no longer snaps its title back to the old name after Enter.

Sidebar order. Graph and Trash can now be dragged anywhere in the sidebar like the other items. By default they sit under your sections as Graph, Attachments, then Trash.

Update check. "Check for Updates…" in the app menu now looks at the build number too. A newer build of the same 0.35.0 is offered, and the build is shown next to the version (this arrives with 0.35.0 build 843).

If you use several devices. Notes with columns open only in this version or later. Update your other devices before using columns.

Vaults are now "spaces". The place where your notes live is called a space throughout the app. Your folders and data are unchanged.

An easier start. On first launch you choose between "Use on this device only" and "Log in and sync". On this device only, a name and a space password are all it takes (no email, no key phrase), and a space you used before in the default location is found and offered. When you want to share it with another device, set your name and email in the space's info page.

Log in inside the app. Sign in with your email and password to bring back the spaces kept in your account. Sign-up and password reset open inside the app too, and a brand-new account gets a new space linked to it. Free members can keep their space list in their account as well.

Databases inside notes. A database placed in a note now lets you drag the right edge of a column header in table view to change its width (it matches the database's own grid). Opening it with "Open as grid" no longer shows the title as "Untitled".

Import from Notion. File ▸ Import ▸ Import from Notion brings in a Notion "Markdown & CSV" export in one go — the folder or the .zip, or a single page or database from it. Databases become memost databases with their column and row order and their column types (checkbox, number, date, select, …), and an inline database inside a page arrives as a database block right where it was. Photos and attachments come along, and images and other attachments can each be left out, so old photos you no longer need can stay behind.

A tidier Import menu. File ▸ Import now has one item per source — Notion, Evernote, Markdown, HTML, EPUB, JWPUB, PowerPoint and memost notes — plus "Import File or Folder", which takes anything.

A database made inside a note stays inside it. A database created with a note's database block no longer shows up on its own in the sidebar or folder lists, and it goes along when the note is moved or trashed.

Editing one note on several devices at once no longer makes copies. Edits to different blocks are merged into one note; edits to the same block show a conflict box right there in the note, where you keep one version, keep both, or edit and use. Notes with an unresolved conflict are marked in the sidebar.

See who else has the note open. A bar at the top of the note says "Device name (author) is also editing on another device." and clears as soon as they close it — over LAN, internet sync or an always-on host. Update every device that shares the note, and the always-on host, to 0.32.0; with an older device memost still makes a copy as before.

Vaults in a cloud drive (iCloud Drive, OneDrive, …). Notes changed on another device are re-indexed for search, backlinks, tags and to-dos, and an open note reloads when it changes underneath. A new app icon, and a fix for devices with several vaults that could stop syncing with each other.

Paste as Plain Text (⌘⇧V). A new item in the Edit menu pastes markdown as the characters it is, without turning it into formatting — **bold** keeps its asterisks, and each line becomes a paragraph. The usual ⌘V still turns markdown into formatting.

Make tables and links with markdown. Type a header row such as | Name | Value | and press Enter to get a table; type | :-- | --: | on the second line to set column alignment. [text](url), <url> and plain www. addresses become links.

The block editor understands the whole markdown syntax. All six heading levels, lists, to-dos, quotes, code blocks and dividers, bold, italic, strikethrough and ==highlight==, footnotes [^1], reference links, line breaks, and HTML such as <u> or <details> turn into formatting as you type.

Pasted markdown keeps its formatting. Paste inside a code block to keep the characters as they are. Images in ![description](image url) are downloaded into the vault as real images.

.md import brings more across. Footnotes, images next to the file, HTML, and collapsible <details> (as a toggle list) now come along.

Both paste and import were checked against 713 examples from the CommonMark specification and GFM (GitHub).

Business organizations. Work with a Biz plan organization in the app. Settings ▸ PRO ▸ Organization shows members and roles, and Vault info ▸ Organization sets which members use this vault. A new device signed in with a sub-account picks up the organization's vaults right from the start screen.

Permissions per folder. There are five levels — None, Read, Add, Edit and Full — and they can be set on any folder, not only on sections. A folder without its own setting follows the nearest parent folder, and you can change the default for the whole vault in one step. Add lets a member change only the notes they created; Edit lets them edit anyone's note but delete only their own; Full allows everything. Add buttons are disabled where there is no permission, and a refused action is explained in a notice.

Folders without permission are neither downloaded nor shown. A member's device does not receive the notes of a folder set to None, and they do not appear in the lists. Grant permission again and they appear right away.

Every note records who created it and who edited it last. Exports (.mmp) do not include this.

The 🎨 Appearance panel. The palette button at the far left of the top-right toolbar opens a note's appearance settings on their own — icon, background colour and background image, zoom. ⓘ Document info keeps the summary and info, custom properties, version history and export.

Many more icons and emoji to choose from — 365 icons and 1,870 emoji. The list scrolls inside a fixed-size box, and choosing a vault icon uses the same box. Database and folder page titles now carry their icon and the same spacing as a note title.

Notes open in one go. A note no longer flashes as it is drawn in stages when you open it; it appears finished.

Fixes. Picking or clearing a background colour no longer removes the background image. The text colour row in the info panel can be clicked again when the note has a tall background image. The top-right toolbar icons are now evenly spaced.

Work across several vaults. Your vaults sit as icons in a rail at the top of the sidebar; click one to switch. Up to eight can be open at once, and the ones you are not looking at keep syncing in the background under their own settings. Daily notes, to-dos, tags, the trash and the rest are all kept per vault. A small light on each rail icon shows that vault's sync state.

A vault info page. Right-click a rail icon to see the vault's location, its note, folder and attachment counts and size, when it was created and last used, and who uses it — and to change its name, icon and colour. The per-vault LAN and internet sync switches are gathered into one table in Settings ▸ Sync.

New vaults go into a named folder under one location. The create screen asks for the location (by default ~/memost) and the vault name separately, so several vaults can sit side by side. Joining another device's vault follows the same rule and keeps that vault's own name.

Move things between vaults. A sidebar section or folder can be copied to another vault, and Import an existing vault on the vault info page brings a whole other vault into the current one. Importing needs that vault's owner password — a folder copied off someone else's disk is not enough. Daily notes that land on a day you already have are appended, so each day stays one note.

Sign in to open all your vaults (PRO). With the vault-list backup turned on in Settings ▸ PRO, a new Mac gets the list of vaults you own just by signing in, and each one opens again after you type its owner password once. Note content is not on the server: it arrives by sync from another device or host that has the vault. What is backed up is each vault's name and sync key phrase, and these are not end-to-end encrypted — memost can read them. That is why the backup is off by default.

Make this Mac a host (PRO). In Settings ▸ PRO you can make this Mac an always-on host: it opens a port on your router over UPnP so your other devices can sync with it across the internet. Internet sync now reconnects right after a laptop wakes, and the app closes the router port it opened when it quits.

Also. Settings ▸ General holds the device name and the user (author). "System" in the display language setting now follows the actual system language. The rail menu has Delete vault folder too (it moves the folder to the Trash; it does not delete it permanently). The sidebar toolbar has a settings button, and the app has a new icon. A note title typed just before locking or quitting is now always saved. The rendezvous server address field and the "add peer manually" field, which had no real use, are gone.

Adding a device works differently now. A new device asks to join with the five-word key phrase alone, and a device you already use approves it. The vault password is never typed into the new device.

When joining you pick owner or participant. A participant sends the phrase with a name and email and waits for approval. Joining as an owner needs the separate owner password, and connects straight away without an approval step. Each device sets its own unlock password, so they can differ from device to device.

The key that sync itself runs on is no longer derived from anything anyone types: it is generated at random and delivered sealed to each device. Knowing the phrase no longer gives anyone a way to guess at the vault password.

A device that has been removed locks the vault and asks whether to move its copy to the trash or leave it. It is the trash, not a permanent delete, and only that device's copy moves. A device that leaves and is approved again keeps using its original folder, so it does not download every note over again.

Databases have arrived. Build rows and columns and keep your records as structure. Every row is itself a note — open one and the usual block editor opens, with the same encryption, syncing, trash and version history that any note gets.

One set of records, five ways to look at it — table, board, gallery, calendar and timeline. Sorting, filters, grouping, column widths and which columns show are saved together as a view you switch between with tabs. Views sync to your other devices.

More than ten column types. Alongside text, number, checkbox, date, select and URL there is relation, pointing at another database, its reverse backlink, formula for calculated values, and rollup, which gathers and computes over the rows a relation connects. Numbers can be shown as currency, percentages, with decimal places and thousands separators; select options can be colored, and a cell can hold several of them.

A calculation row under the table does sums, averages and the like. Row numbers let you select and delete several at once, and a row's menu opens it as a note. A database can live on its own in the sidebar or sit inline inside a note as a block.

A great deal more can be imported. Alongside Markdown, PowerPoint and memost notes, you can now bring in Evernote (.enex), web pages (.html), ebooks (.epub), and whole folders.

Evernote notes come across one for one, carrying their attachments and also their tags and their original created and modified dates — so imported notes sort by their real history instead of piling up as made today. Checkboxes arrive as task lists.

A web page offers a choice. Convert to a note turns headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and formatting into blocks and brings the page's images in as attachments. Keep as an HTML file stores the page with its images and scripts intact, so it still looks the way it did when you saved it.

An ebook becomes a folder named after the book with one note per chapter. Chapter titles come from the table of contents, and links between chapters become links between notes.

Choose a folder and memost walks through it, importing each file the way its kind deserves and mirroring the subfolders as it goes. Point it at an Evernote export folder and it handles it as Evernote without being told. A file that fails is skipped rather than stopping the rest.

A folder view now previews whatever you select. A preview panel sits on the right of the folder screen. Pick a row in the list and its details appear at the top, its contents below.

Files are shown the same way Finder shows them when you press the space bar — images, PDFs, text, video, audio, and Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents, all without opening another app, along with the kind, size and dates. A note shows an excerpt of its body plus its tags, when it was created and changed, and its character and word counts. A subfolder tells you how many of each thing it holds.

Drag the divider between the list and the panel to change its width. The width, and whether the panel is open at all, are remembered across every folder tab, every panel, and app restarts. The button that opens and closes it is at the right end of the folder screen's bottom bar.

You can drag files in to attach them. Drag a file from Finder or any other app onto the memost window and it is attached wherever you dropped it. There are four places to drop: a folder or note in the sidebar, the file list in a folder screen, the body of an open note, and the tabs along the top.

Dropping into a note's body draws a line between blocks so you can see where the file will land before you let go. Hover over a tab for a moment and it opens, so you can check what is there before dropping. A folder tab takes the file into that folder; a note tab adds it at the end of the note.

Drag in a folder and — since a folder holds no bytes of its own — memost asks once, then saves it as a folder shortcut. It sits in the list like any other attachment, and opening it takes you to that folder. When there are many files or large ones, you see the progress, and anything that could not be brought in is named along with the reason.

Large attachments no longer make the app stutter. Files are now streamed as they are copied instead of being loaded into memory whole. If an autosave fails it retries rather than passing in silence, and tells you if it still cannot save.

You can mark up a PDF inside a note and keep it. Highlights, drawings, text you add, and form fields you fill in the inline viewer are now saved into the PDF file itself — until now they lived on screen only and the file never changed. Erasing something you marked is saved too.

Saving happens on its own, with a small badge next to the filename showing where it is up to. The existing attachment is updated in place, so every note pointing at that PDF keeps working and the change syncs to your other devices.

The PDF toolbar was tidied. Select, highlight, draw, text, and the zoom pair now draw icons instead of their names, matching the note's own editing toolbar. Pick a tool and the cursor takes its shape.

Several snags around PDFs are gone as well: pressing a tool no longer selects the whole document, dragging with the highlighter or pen no longer drags the note block along with it, and the crashes and lost markings that could happen while highlighting have been fixed.

Attachment management arrived. An Attachments item in the sidebar opens a page listing every attachment in the vault — images inside notes, covers, and files you filed on their own. Each one shows which note or folder it belongs to, and double-clicking that column opens it. Deleting a note now clears away the attachments only that note used.

All your to-dos in one place. Checklist items from across the vault are gathered onto a single page, grouped by note. Ticking one there writes back to its note, you can choose whether completed items stay in view, and anything nested under an item comes along.

Find within a note. Cmd+F searches the note on screen: every match highlights as you type, Enter or Cmd+G walks through them, and a counter reads 3/12. Vault-wide search is still Cmd+K, which gained a preview pane showing the first page of whichever note you've highlighted.

Notes say where they live. An open note shows its place under the tab bar as section › folder, and each crumb takes you there. Turn it off in Settings if you'd rather not have it.

The editor got a round of polish. Bookmark cards pick up the page's own title and their thumbnails sit better. The menu that appears when you paste a URL answers the keyboard, headings got their own sizes and breathing room, and dragging table rows and columns behaves properly. Spacing now reads as a percentage and type sizes in px, so the numbers mean something.

Daily notes can be hidden from the sidebar if you don't use them, and on the daily-notes page a right-click on a note's name offers open folder, open note, and delete.

Faster. Returning to the app no longer freezes the screen for the better part of a second. After a sync the vault isn't re-indexed from scratch — only what changed is — and even a full index no longer holds the screen. Notes follow your system text size.

Lists line up. Bullets, numbers, to-dos and toggles all start at the same place and keep one gap between marker and text. A number that grows to two or three digits widens its own space instead of pushing the line over.

Callouts are tidier. The icon starts level with the first line, and a callout headed by a heading no longer opens with a gap. The background-colour control moved to the top-right corner, so a one-line callout stays one line tall.

Colour in the main toolbar. Text colour and highlight are a click away at the top, alongside a new toggle-list button. Palettes and the link boxes open inside the note rather than off the edge of it, and each palette gained three more colours.

Paste keeps its place. Paste several paragraphs at an indent and all of them land there, and no empty block sneaks in after the first. The note title refits its height as the window or sidebar width changes.

Toggle lists arrived — a block that folds away, so a long note can keep its detail hidden until you want it.

List editing feels right now. The first item can be indented like any other, and Shift+Tab steps the indent back one level instead of dissolving the list. Bullets, numbers, and to-dos share one marker strip, so their text lines up. There's also a Cmd+Shift+X shortcut for deleting a block.

More to style and arrange. Set a base font weight for the sidebar and for the note body; the sidebar's line-spacing slider now updates as you drag it. Sort the folder listing's columns and the order sticks, and callouts got a tidier icon and inset.

The sidebar's arrangement now syncs. The order of the top-level items — favorites, daily notes, unfiled — is the same on every device instead of drifting apart.

The graph view got better. Sections can be shown as their own nodes (off by default), and which toggles you leave on is remembered for next time. Section and folder names stay legible however far you zoom out, and hovering any node shows its name.

The lock and create screens were tidied up. The join-a-group section was hardcoded in Korean, leaving everyone else with a half-translated screen; it is now fully translated, and the buttons look like real buttons.

Typing is smoother. The editor toolbars no longer rebuild on every keystroke, so typing keeps up even in long notes with hundreds of blocks. The color, highlight, link, and @ popovers on the selection toolbar now open on the first click instead of sometimes needing two.

A broad hardening pass over saving and syncing. A wide review of the core closed several paths where data could drift out of step or go missing.

Everything written to the vault now genuinely reaches the disk; previously a crash or an abrupt shutdown could cost you the most recent change. Deleted notes could come back, a single failed read could clear your favorites on every device, and one device with a wrong clock could stall syncing everywhere — all fixed.

Sort order and favorites now merge field by field, so changing them on two devices at once no longer overwrites one with the other, and a path where attachments were quietly dropped has been closed.

Sections arrived — a grouping level above folders, so you can gather related folders and tidy up the sidebar. Sections collapse and expand, and you can drag them to reorder or move folders and notes between them. Your existing folders are filed into a Home section automatically.

Printing arrived. File ▸ Print (Cmd+P) prints the note exactly as you see it, and File ▸ Page Setup lets you set the margins.

Items inside favorites, sections, and folders can be dragged into the order you want. In reading mode, Shift+scroll or the +/- keys adjust the text size, and the Help menu now opens the manual directly.

Syncing gained two pieces. Favorites now travel between devices, and a section's name and position travel with it. Both used to stay on whichever device made them.

The startup delay is gone. The short window right after launch where taps didn't register has been removed, so you can start writing or searching the moment the app opens.

Typing is faster. Saving now happens in the background instead of holding up the screen, so typing stays smooth in long notes and large vaults.

An update check was added — the app now tells you when a new version is available. The editor toolbars were also redrawn as a single monochrome icon set that follows the text color, so dark mode inverts them cleanly, and a Table button was added.

Tags arrived — a Tags section in the sidebar, a page collecting the notes for a tag, and a tag line at the top of each note.

A calendar panel with daily notes, offering Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and List views. Today's note opens or is created in one step.

Tables came to the editor, with cell background fills, cell alignment, and draggable column widths and row heights. A new note now starts with the caret in its title.

A link graph — a Linked mentions panel showing which documents point at this note, plus a Graph tab that draws the relationships between documents.

Images in a note can be resized by dragging and placed side by side. This was the first notarized public release.

Note version history — roll a note back to an earlier state after an edit or a sync.

Attachment references are tracked separately, so attachments that came loose from a note can be found and restored.

The drawing block arrived — add hand-drawn sketches directly to a note.

Choose whether notes open in the current tab or a new one.

PowerPoint import, turning each slide into an image in a note. The first drag-to-install DMG shipped here.

A trash you can restore deleted notes from, along with a view collecting notes that aren't filed in any folder.

Collapsed folders in the sidebar stay collapsed across restarts.

Link and bookmark blocks became editable, notes can be exported and imported as .mmp files, and per-block alignment was added.

Devices can now sync directly over the internet, not just on the same network.

Encrypted automatic P2P sync over the LAN. Vaults are identified by a key phrase, and Settings lists the connected devices.

Native window tabbing — one note opens as one system tab.

The same menu for top-level folders. Top-level folders now have the same menu as subfolders, so Move to Folder, Import and the rest work on them in the iPad sidebar too.

Nothing left out when sending. When you send to another space and some notes or attachments haven't finished syncing to this device, sending stops and tells you, instead of making an incomplete copy.

Move folders anywhere. In the iPad sidebar and on the iPhone home list you can drag a top-level folder into another folder, or a subfolder out to the top level. Drop it between two folders and it lands right there.

The graph picks folders. The graph view's section picker has been folded into the folder picker.

Fixed. A folder could show up in two places in the sidebar after syncing.

Brings what the Mac gained since 0.26.0 to iPhone and iPad.

An easier start, and logging in inside the app. On first launch you choose between "Use on this device only" and "Log in and sync". Logging in picks up the spaces kept on your account. You can keep several spaces and switch between them.

One space password. Each space has a single password, and only its owners know it. Participants open the space with Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode instead of a password.

Trusted devices only. Only devices an owner has approved and signed receive the space's contents. Space info shows each device's verification state, and you can remove devices you no longer need.

One device, several accounts. Add more than one account under Settings ▸ PRO and choose which account each space syncs with. Paid plans are available as App Store subscriptions under Settings ▸ PRO.

Connect to your own host. Make an always-on computer or server of yours the host, and devices sync through it even when they are not on the same Wi-Fi.

The same note on several devices. Edits to different blocks merge into one, and edits to the same block put a conflict box right there in the note. If another device has the same note open, the top of the note says so.

Sync that doesn't lose notes. When another device tries to delete many notes at once you are asked first, and notes removed by another device's delete stay in the trash for 30 days.

Notes as dashboards, and Notion import. Side-by-side columns, note cards, and importing Notion's "Markdown & CSV" export now work on iPhone and iPad too.

A sidebar made of folders. Sections (Home and the rest) appear as folder rows, and a long press opens the same menu as a folder. The iPhone home list works the same way. In the iPad sidebar, long-press a note and choose "Duplicate Note".

Favorites are per person. Favorites are shared only among devices on the same account. Your existing favorites stay as they are.

On iPhone. Long-press notes in a folder to select several and move them at once, and a one-line sync status appears at the bottom of the screen. On narrow screens notes have tighter margins and cover images fill their frame.

The Mac's new way of joining is here on iPhone and iPad too. A device asks to join with the five-word key phrase alone and a device you already use approves it. The owner password is typed only when joining as an owner, and this device's unlock password is set separately.

A removed device locks the vault and asks whether to move its copy to the trash. Approved again, it picks its original folder back up.

Databases work on iPhone and iPad. Open one and it fills the screen. View tabs, all five layouts, cell editing, column setup (type, select options and their colors, multi-select, number formats) and the calculation row are the same as on the Mac.

New database is in the sidebar's ＋ menu and in a folder's menu. Tap a row number to select, or use the row menu to delete it or open it as a note. On a narrow screen the toolbar buttons show as icons alone.

The Mac's wider import support applies here as well: Evernote (.enex), web pages (.html), ebooks (.epub), and folders can all be chosen.

Pick a web page and you are asked whether to convert it to a note or keep it as an HTML file. PowerPoint still cannot be imported, since the program that draws the slides cannot be installed on iPhone or iPad.

The same engine as the Mac's 0.23.2. Dragging files in to attach them and the folder preview panel are Mac-only, so nothing changes on iPhone and iPad.

Notes are saved more reliably. A failed autosave is retried, and if it still cannot save, you are told rather than left to find out later. Moving between notes no longer loses work that had not been written yet.

Your notes stay out of the app switcher. The screen is covered the moment you leave the app, so no note shows in the switcher. A passphrase copied for pasting now clears itself after three minutes.

Returning to the app is quicker. Coming back no longer pulls down the whole vault — only what is needed. Attaching a large file is much lighter too, since the file is no longer loaded into memory whole.

Sync coming back to life after you locked or left the app, and a changed sync server address being ignored, are both fixed.

The same release as the Mac, now on iPhone and iPad.

You can mark up a PDF inside a note and keep it. Highlights, drawings, text, and form fields are saved into the PDF file itself, and erasing a marking is saved too. A badge next to the filename shows the save state, and the change syncs to your other devices.

The PDF toolbar now draws icons instead of names, matching the note's own editing toolbar.

The same release as the Mac, now on iPhone and iPad.

Attachment management gathers every attachment in the vault onto one page and shows which note or folder each belongs to. To-dos collects the checklist items from across the vault into a single page, grouped by note.

Editor polish. Bookmark cards pick up the page's own title, and headings, table sizing, and to-do spacing were all tidied.

Faster. Returning to the app no longer freezes the screen for the better part of a second, and a sync no longer re-indexes the whole vault. Notes follow your system text size, and the rest of the app stays reachable while you edit a note on a narrow screen.

The same release as the Mac, now on iPhone and iPad.

Lists line up. Bullets, numbers, to-dos and toggles all start at the same place, and a number that grows to two or three digits no longer pushes its line over.

Callouts and the toolbar were tidied. A callout's icon starts level with the first line, and its background-colour control moved to the top-right corner. Text colour and highlight are now a tap away in the main toolbar, alongside a new toggle-list button.

Paste keeps its place. Paste several paragraphs at an indent and all of them land there, with no empty block sneaking in after the first.

The same release as the Mac, now on iPhone and iPad.

Toggle lists fold content away, and list editing feels right — the first item indents like any other, and bullets, numbers, and to-dos line up with each other.

You can set a base font weight for the sidebar and the note body, and callouts got a tidier icon and inset.

A broad hardening pass over saving and syncing. The same core review that reached the Mac: everything written to the vault genuinely reaches the disk, deleted notes no longer come back, favorites can't be cleared by a failed read, and one device with a wrong clock no longer stalls syncing.

The sidebar's arrangement now syncs. Top-level items keep the same order across your devices.

Photos and editing gestures were fixed. Choosing Take Photo used to quit the app, and the photo you took didn't make it into the note — both fixed. So are the first tap in the editor being ignored, the sidebar's grip covering the editing toolbar, and the selection toolbar running off the side of the screen.

Sections came to iPhone and iPad — a grouping level above folders that collapses, expands, and reorders by dragging. Your existing folders are filed into a Home section automatically.

Printing arrived. Print the note exactly as you see it, using the margins set in the Print tab of Settings.

Daily notes and the calendar are now on iPhone and iPad, with Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and List views, and per-date note creation.

Dragging works differently. Dropping a folder onto another folder moves it inside — empty and collapsed folders included. Blue insertion lines show where a row will land, and on iPad you can drag across sections.

Syncing gained two pieces. Favorites now travel between devices, and a section's name and position travel with it.

The startup delay is gone. The short window right after launch where taps didn't register has been removed, so you can start writing or searching the moment the app opens.

Tags arrived. Tag a note from the tag line under its title, then browse the sidebar tag list and the page that gathers every note under a tag. Daily notes came along too. Typing is faster as well — saving happens in the background, so long notes stay smooth.

The folder-menu import picker accepts Markdown (.md) files too.

Import a note from a folder's context menu. Markdown import is supported.

The folder tree on the iPhone home list can be collapsed.

First upload to App Store Connect. The version number was realigned with macOS.

Images in a note can be resized and placed side by side.

iPad reading mode — an eyeglasses toggle opens a full-screen read-only panel, and pinching adjusts the font size. The zoom level is remembered.

Note version history arrived.

The drawing block arrived.

A new app icon.

A view collecting notes that aren't filed in any folder, plus tidier folder rows on iPhone.

The editing toolbar is pinned to the top of the panel, and dragging tabs between panels on iPad was fixed.

A native document picker, so attaching PDFs and files works on iPhone and iPad.

P2P sync over the internet arrived.

iOS moved onto its own version track, with the version shown in Settings.

A new encryption format. Each note file is now encrypted together with the note it belongs to, so an encrypted file moved into another note's place no longer opens. A space is converted once, in the background, the first time it opens. Update every other device that opens the same space folder through iCloud Drive or a shared folder: older versions cannot open a converted space. Devices that only sync with this one are not affected.

No more freezes when opening a note. In a space with large databases, opening a note or closing a tab could leave the window "Not responding" for several seconds.

Attachments that never finished syncing. One attachment with a very long name stopped every sync of its space partway, and the other attachments stayed at "Syncing".

Korean names. Korean folder and note names made on a Mac or imported from Notion no longer show as separated letters.

Data safety. A review of sync and storage fixed a number of problems. A structure file that cannot be read is never written over, emptying the trash keeps a folder that still holds something, and one note or attachment that cannot be opened no longer stops a whole sync.

Typing while you switch notes. Text typed just as you moved to another note, or just as another device's version arrived, could be saved into the wrong note or overwrite the version that had just arrived. Fixed.

Links and attachments open safely. Links in a note open right away only for the web, email and phone. Links to files on this PC or the network do not open, and links that open another app show the address and ask first. Attachments that would run when opened (programs, scripts, shortcuts) are not run; File Explorer shows the file instead.

Large videos. Video attachments over 2 GB play, and opening a video no longer reads the whole file into memory.

Fixes. The PDF viewer no longer saves changes to a PDF in a note you cannot edit, files dropped onto a closed sub-note or database item now go in, and long ✨ AI command prompts run.

Brings the version number in line with Mac and Linux. Nothing changed; it is the same as 0.42.1.

AI recording. 🎙 records on Windows too and types the transcript straight into the note. Speech recognition runs on this PC's CPU (one with AVX2), and the recording is attached to the note.

Add to ChatGPT. Settings ▸ AI Connection ▸ Add to ChatGPT registers memost in the Codex config that the ChatGPT app and the Codex CLI both read. Pressing it again keeps settings you put in memost's entry yourself, and the original config is kept in .bak as it was before memost first changed it.

✨ AI commands in the background. Run them through Claude Code or the Codex CLI without a window, and bring back the last command. Drag a file from the Attachments list into a note to insert the same attachment, without a copy.

What you are looking at comes first. While a big space is still arriving, an open note's inline databases, cover and images are downloaded first. A database that has not arrived yet says it is arriving from your other devices instead of “no longer exists”, and a cover appears as soon as it arrives, without reopening the note.

Big spaces on USB and external drives. Fixed a space of tens of thousands of notes on an exFAT drive stalling during sync. The first check at launch went from 18 minutes to under a second, and the clean-up after each sync from nearly an hour to about a second.

Fixed. The window briefly froze on Lock (Ctrl+L); sub-notes, database items and order changed on another device did not show at once; and an organization space's automatic join could collide with a join or create on the start screen. Also fixed: ✨ background runs that never ended, commands starting with “-”, a CLI that is not installed, and unreadable error text.

Sub-notes. /Add note in a note's body makes a new note under it, with a link in its place. In the sidebar a note folds and unfolds like a folder; drag a note onto the middle of another to nest it, onto an edge to reorder it, or into a folder or Unfiled to take it out. Databases made inside a note show under that note too, and the path bar runs through the parent notes.

Notes among a folder's subfolders. Place a note before or between subfolders. A folder nobody has arranged that way lists its subfolders first, then its notes, as on the Mac. The order at the top of the sidebar is now each person's own.

Databases. Item templates (⋯ ▸ Add template — new items start as a copy of it), items made with the bar's Add item appear at the top, a database item height in Settings ▸ Fonts, and sorting by created, modified and viewed dates, author and tags.

Note lock. Lock a note in the Document Info (ⓘ) panel and its body, title and properties cannot be changed. What you typed just before locking is saved first.

Titles stay. Fixed a renamed title going back to the old one when you edited the body right after renaming.

Notion import. Right-click Unfiled, a section or a folder in the sidebar and choose Import from Notion… to bring it in right there. A Notion page's sub-pages come in as sub-notes under it, in the order its body links them, instead of a folder of the same name.

Fixed. Notes unfolded in the sidebar were all folded again after a relaunch, and a Notion import turned text columns with repeated values (memos, remarks) into select columns. Notion's Markdown export carries no property types, so select columns now come in as text too.

Notes you work on with AI — connect AI apps over MCP. Like the Mac in 0.40.0, Windows now supports MCP (Model Context Protocol). Claude (the desktop app and Claude Code), ChatGPT and Codex on this PC connect to memost over MCP to find and read your notes, create new ones and edit them. Turn it on in Settings ▸ AI connection, then allow each space the AI may work in under Space info ▸ AI connection (read only, or read and write). An AI app connecting for the first time must be approved on this PC, and the connection never leaves this PC.

AI edits can be undone. What an AI writes into an open note can be taken back right away with Ctrl+Z.

✨ AI command. The ✨ button in the window toolbar and in the toolbar that appears when you select text sends a request about the note you are looking at, or the selected text, to the connected AI app. Claude Code and Codex CLI open in a PowerShell window.

Saved prompts and shortcuts. Save the requests you use often in the ✨ window and give them shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt plus a letter, and so on). Press the shortcut in a note and that prompt is sent at once, without the window. Drag saved prompts to reorder them.

Settings tab order. The PRO tab in the Settings window is now always the last one on the right.

Drag notes into a database. Drop a note from the sidebar onto an open database, or onto a database block inside a note, and it becomes an item of that database. It is moved, not copied.

Move folders freely. Drag a top-level folder into another folder, or a subfolder up to the top level; drop a folder between subfolders and it lands right there. Top-level folders and subfolders now share the same right-click menu.

Pick graph folders. The graph view's section filter is merged into the folder filter.

Narrow windows. Note names in the folder list wrap to two lines, and dates make way first when space runs short.

Nothing left out when sending. When you send to another space and some notes or attachments haven't finished syncing to this PC, sending stops and tells you, instead of making an incomplete copy.

Brings to Windows what the Mac has gained since 0.36.0.

One space password. Each space has one password, and only its owners know it. Owners can change it from Space info. Participants open the space with Windows Hello instead.

Only trusted devices. Only devices an owner approved and signed receive a space's content. Approving a join request and changing someone's role or permissions ask for the space password once. Space info shows each device's status; you can remove a device you no longer use, or clear old unverified devices at once.

Confirm devices from any owner device. Owner devices share the list of devices waiting for confirmation, so a phone that only reaches the host can be approved on this PC.

One PC, several accounts. Add several accounts in Settings ▸ PRO and choose the default account and the one that hosts. Pick which account each space syncs with; disconnecting an account cleans up its spaces safely.

A sidebar of folders. Sections (such as Home) appear as folder rows instead of bold headings, and right-clicking one opens the same menu a folder has. Favorites is a single row you fold and unfold.

Icons and color emoji. Choose an icon for a note, folder or space from 365 line icons or 1,870 emoji. The icon you pick appears in the sidebar, folder lists, tabs and the path bar, and emoji are drawn in color.

Duplicate a note. Right-click a note in the sidebar or a folder list and choose "Duplicate Note" to put a copy in the same folder.

Favorites are personal. Favorites are shared only among devices of the same account. Other owners' and participants' favorites do not appear in your sidebar. Your existing favorites stay as they are.

Fixes. No more false "Autosave failed" alert when switching spaces; a space brought back by signing in no longer asks for its password again; Korean names of spaces made on a Mac no longer show as separated letters.

Sync that doesn't lose notes. A device that had not finished receiving a space could delete notes on your other devices; that is fixed. When another device tries to delete many notes at once (or over a day), they are not deleted right away: you are asked whether to bring them back or apply the deletion.

Notes deleted on another device are kept for 30 days. A note that disappears here because another device deleted it stays in the trash under "Deleted on another device" for 30 days, ready to restore.

Who deleted it. Only what a person moves to the trash or empties from it is deleted on other devices, and the trash shows who deleted each item. The app never deletes a note on its own: a file it cannot find is fetched again from another device.

No more uploads and conflicts from just reading. A note that was only open on another device kept being uploaded, and text typed in one go on one device could end up in a "merge conflict" box. Both are fixed.

Sync status bar. It now appears only while notes or attachments are actually being sent or received; a sync that only compares lists is no longer shown.

Space-list backup (PRO). Only spaces the signed-in account owns are backed up, one entry per space. Settings ▸ PRO shows whether each space on this device is backed up, and a space whose owner list doesn't include your account can be added with "Add as co-owner…" and the owner password.

Faster sync for large spaces. Notes not yet downloaded to this device are skipped when checking for changes.

Notes as dashboards. Drag any block onto the left or right edge of another block and the two sit side by side in columns. Drag the divider between columns to change their widths, or make them straight away with 2, 3 or 4 columns from the slash menu.

Note cards. After you pick a note with @, choose whether it goes in as a link or a card. A card shows the note like a bookmark: its icon, folder path, current title, the start of its text, its cover and when it was edited.

Resizing and ＋ to add. Drag to change the width of videos, PDFs, drawings and bookmarks, and the height of the PDF viewer. Hover over a block's handle (⠿) and a ＋ appears above and below it; click one to add a new block on that side.

Databases inside notes. A database in a note loads its first 20 rows, and "+ Load more" brings in the rest, so large databases open quickly. Each block remembers its view tab, whether its title shows, how many rows it lists and its height; there is now search and a list view, and the table sits in a rounded, card-like frame. A database the app could not read for a moment while a space was opening is read again instead of shown as gone, and renaming a row also updates a panel that has that row open as a note.

Sidebar order. Graph and Trash can now be dragged anywhere in the sidebar, or moved with right-click ▸ Move Up / Move Down, like the other items. By default they sit under your sections as Graph, Attachments, then Trash.

The version moves to 0.35.0 to line up with the Mac.

A host syncs with several devices at once. When this computer is the host, it syncs one space with several devices at the same time. One device comparing a large list no longer keeps the others waiting.

A busy host is no longer mistaken for a stopped one. A host busy syncing with another device was sometimes treated as gone; internet sync now keeps it.

The sync status bar shows for the whole sync. At the bottom right: "Syncing the [space] list…", then "↑ Uploading / ↓ Downloading" with the name, size and progress while items move, and "✓ Sync complete" briefly at the end. Turn it off in Settings ▸ Sync ▸ Show sync status bar.

Reordering the space bar. While you drag a space tile at the top of the sidebar, the other tiles step aside to show where it will land.

Faster first sync of a large space (October 21 build). Sections and folders arrive first, and only the items that differ are exchanged, in parts. A link to a note that is still arriving now says so, and folders with many notes and the index tidy-up after a sync hold up the app less.

The version moves to 0.34.0 to line up with the Mac.

"Vaults" are now "spaces". The place your notes live is called a space throughout the app. Your folders and data stay as they are.

An easier start. On first launch you choose between "Use on this device only" and "Sign in and sync". On this device only, a name and a space password are all it takes (no email, no key phrase), and a space you used before in the default location is found and offered. When you want to share with another device, set a name and email in Space info ▸ Use with other devices.

Sign in inside the app. Sign in with your email and password to bring back the spaces kept in your account; a brand-new account gets a new space linked to it. Free members can keep their space list in the account too. Sign-up and password reset open in your browser.

Editing the same note on several devices no longer makes copies. Changes to different blocks are merged into one, and when the same block was changed a conflict box appears inside the note. A note open on another device is flagged at the top.

Notion import and a sync status bar. App menu ▸ Import ▸ Notion brings in a Notion "Markdown & CSV" export, databases included, in one go. While syncing, one line at the bottom right shows what is being sent or received (it can be turned off in Settings ▸ Sync). A database made inside a note lives only in that note and moves or goes to the trash with it.

Large spaces are faster. Opening, moving and syncing spaces with tens of thousands of notes takes far less time. The tab strip now fits the window however many tabs are open, and the title bar gained 🎨 Appearance · ⓘ Document info · Panels · Reading · Search buttons.

The version moves to 0.33.0 to line up with the Mac.

Business organizations. The organization features of Mac 0.31.0 come to Windows. Settings ▸ PRO ▸ Organization shows your role and the host, and Vault info ▸ Organization members sets which members use this vault. A sub-account sets the organization vault password once and the vaults it is given arrive by themselves; they can also be received right from the start screen's Sign in to open all your vaults.

Permissions per folder. The five levels — None, Read, Add, Edit and Full — can be set on any folder, not only on sections, and the default for the whole vault can be changed in one step. A folder without its own setting follows the nearest parent folder. Where there is no permission the add and delete menu items are disabled, and a note you cannot change opens read-only.

Paste as Plain Text (Ctrl+Shift+V). Pastes markdown as the characters it is, without turning it into formatting — **bold** keeps its asterisks, and each line becomes a paragraph. It is in the app menu too. The usual Ctrl+V still turns markdown into formatting.

The version moves to 0.31.2 to line up with the Mac.

Write Markdown straight into your notes. Type # to ###### at the start of a line for headings 1–6, [text](url) for a link, - [ ] for a to-do, and press Enter after a header row like | a | b | to get a table. Footnotes ([^1]), reference links, column alignment and inline HTML are understood too.

Pasting and .md import follow the same rules. Pasted text is read as Markdown; press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste it as plain text. Images given by a web address (![alt](url)) are downloaded into your vault as real images. All 713 CommonMark and GFM spec examples pass.

Coming from 0.26.0, you also get everything the Mac gained up to 0.30. Several vaults side by side on the rail, the vault info page, new vaults as named folders under one location, copying to another vault and importing an existing vault, the Settings ▸ Sync table, PRO host mode and signing in to reopen all your vaults, a display-language choice, 365 icons and 1,870 emoji, search filters and in-note find (Ctrl+F). On quit the app closes the port it opened on your router.

The version moves to 0.31.1. The business-organization screens of Mac 0.31.0 are not on Windows yet.

Windows can now join another device's vault. Until now, putting several devices on one vault only worked on the Mac, iPad and iPhone — the old "join an existing group" checkbox on Windows no longer joined anything at all. The Mac's flow has arrived here whole.

How a device joins. A new device asks to join with nothing but the five-word key phrase, and a device you already use approves it. The vault password is never typed on the new device, and nothing is written to disk until the approval comes through.

You join as either an owner or a participant. A participant supplies the key phrase plus a name and email, then waits for approval. Joining as an owner needs the separate owner password and connects straight away, without approval. Each device sets its own lock password.

The start screen is now Create · Open · Join. When you create a vault it first checks whether the folder you picked can hold one, and warns you if a cloud drive such as OneDrive is already syncing that folder (a warning, not a block). Open shows that vault's key phrase, with a copy button, before it asks for the password — you should not have to unlock a vault just to get the phrase that invites another device.

Settings ▸ Vault now lists the people on it. You can see who has joined and which devices each of them uses, set a participant's per-section permissions, and remove someone. An owner can also change the owner password here.

A device that has been removed locks the vault and asks whether to move its copy to the Recycle Bin or leave it. That is the Recycle Bin, not a permanent delete, and only that device's copy moves. A device that leaves and is approved again reuses its original folder, so it does not download every note a second time.

The version goes from 0.24.0 to 0.26.0 to line up with the Mac and iPhone again.

Windows now does what the Mac does. The version number rejoins the Mac and iPhone line too. Coming from 0.21.2, everything below arrives at once.

To-dos and Attachments pages join the sidebar. To-dos gathers every checklist item scattered across the vault, grouped by the note it came from; tick one here and the original note is updated. Attachments lists every file in the vault with how many notes use it, its size and when it was added, finds files by their own name or the name of the note they belong to, and lets you delete the ones nothing references. Both rows can be hidden from the sidebar settings.

Drag files in to attach them. Drag a file from File Explorer or any other app and it attaches wherever you drop it — on a folder or a note in the sidebar, into the file list of a folder view, or onto a tab at the top. Hover over a tab for a moment and it opens, so you can look before you drop. Drop a folder and memost asks once, then saves it as a folder shortcut. Several or large files show progress, and anything that could not be brought in is reported by name and reason.

A folder view now previews whatever you select. A preview panel sits on the right of the folder screen: the item's details at the top, its contents below — images and text are drawn directly, PDFs and video play in the built-in viewer. A note shows an excerpt plus its tags and counts; a subfolder tells you how many of each thing it holds. Drag the divider to change the width, and the width and whether the panel is open survive a restart.

More things can be imported. Evernote exports (.enex), web pages (HTML), ebooks (EPUB), and whole folders. Pick a folder and memost walks through it, importing each file the way its kind deserves and mirroring the subfolder structure as it goes. If HTML is in the mix it asks once whether to convert those to notes or keep them as files. One file failing does not stop the rest, and anything skipped is reported at the end. Imports of files with non-Latin names no longer fail.

PDF markup inside a note is saved to the file. Highlights, drawings, text you add and form fields you fill are now written into the PDF itself. Until now they only existed on screen and the file was left untouched.

Editor improvements. Bookmark cards made by pasting a URL now fetch the page's title, description and image. The editor's own attach-file button works, and files picked that way go through the same path as dropped ones. Ctrl+K inside a note opens vault-wide search, and while the find bar is up Esc closes it instead of leaving reading mode.

Toggle lists arrived — a block you can fold, so a long note can keep its details hidden until you want them.

Lists line up. Bullets, numbers, to-dos, and toggles all start at the same place, and a number that grows to two or three digits no longer pushes the line across. The first item can be indented now, and Shift+Tab steps the indent back one level instead of dropping the list entirely.

Colors moved into the toolbar. Text color and highlight are a click away in the top toolbar, along with a toggle-list button, and the color grid and link box open inside the note instead of running off the edge of the screen.

Pasting keeps its place. Paste several paragraphs at an indented spot and all of them land at that level, without the stray empty line that used to appear after the first one. Callouts also line their icon up with the first line, and the background-color dot moved to the top-right corner so a one-line callout no longer stands two lines tall.

Settings can set the base font weight for the sidebar and the note body, sorting a folder-list column is remembered, and the sidebar line spacing now actually saves.

The editor and the graph now speak your language. Until now only the app chrome was translated on Windows while the note editor and graph labels stayed English. Both follow the system language now, and switching languages relabels open notes right away.

The sidebar matches macOS. Favorites is a block inside the sidebar that you can collapse, and dragging its header — or Move up / Move down — reorders it among daily notes, unfiled notes, and your sections. That order now syncs between devices. Tags moved into the sidebar too, sitting just above the graph.

Collapsing a folder or a section no longer freezes the app for a few seconds — which used to happen most often while a sync was running.

Creating a vault shows its key phrase first. You can copy the five words another device needs before you start writing.

The graph can show sections as nodes (the toggle is remembered), section and folder names stay readable as you zoom out, and hovering a node shows its name. If sync fails to start, Settings ▸ Sync now says why instead of just looking like an empty network. The memost wordmark on the lock screen and the About dialog follows the app icon's color.

Typing is smoother. The editor toolbars no longer rebuild on every keystroke, so typing keeps up even in long notes with hundreds of blocks. The color, highlight, link, and @ popovers on the selection toolbar now open on the first click instead of sometimes needing two.

A broad pass over storage and sync reliability. Everything written to the vault now reaches the disk, so a crash or a power loss can't cost you the last change. Deleted notes no longer come back, a single failed read no longer wipes favorites on every device, and one device with a skewed clock no longer stalls syncing for all of them. A damaged index also stops blaming your password.

The version number now matches macOS and iOS. Windows reached feature parity, so 0.8.1 is followed by 0.19.0. Here is what arrived on Windows in between.

Sections arrived — a grouping level above folders, so you can gather related folders and tidy up the sidebar. You can create, rename, reorder, and delete them, and the collapse arrow is now the same macOS-style chevron at the size of a folder name, which makes it far easier to hit.

Reading mode arrived. It opens a note read-only across the panel; Ctrl++/-/0 adjusts the text size and Esc leaves.

Printing (Ctrl+P) and note version history arrived — pick an earlier revision in the info panel and restore it.

Settings gained a General tab for how notes open and the daily-note date format, and the Help menu opens the manual directly. The brief freeze when launching the app or turning sync on is gone, PowerPoint import now works however the app was launched, and the update check only tells you about a genuinely newer release.

Tags arrived — a Tags section in the sidebar, a page collecting the notes for a tag, and a tag line in each note. An update check came with it, so the app tells you when a new version is available. The editor toolbars were also redrawn as a single monochrome icon set that follows the text color, and a Table button was added.

A calendar panel with daily notes, offering Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and List views. Today's note opens or is created in one step.

A link graph in the sidebar. Clicking a node opens that note, and the list of documents pointing at a note works too. Fixed a blank screen when reopening the app.

Editor tables are supported.

Saving a drawing block, inserting images, and dragging images into a note all work.

Fixed PowerPoint import so it actually works on Windows.

PowerPoint import arrived.

Names containing numbers sort in natural order.

A folder-contents view with Name, Modified, and Created columns.

Trash and the unfiled-notes view arrived. Fixed the UI freezing during a burst of sync activity.

The note background image stays pinned to the panel, cover height is adjustable, and a native color picker is used. Links in the editor open in your default browser.

The first stamped version, with settings parity with macOS, automatic unlock, import and export, and a per-user installer that needs no admin rights.

A new encryption format for stored data. The first time you open a space after updating, the notes stored on disk are re-encrypted in a newer, safer format. With many notes this can take a few minutes, and the app may be a little slower meanwhile. A notice appears once when it is done.

Spaces opened from a shared folder. If the same space folder is opened by other devices through Dropbox, Syncthing or a shared folder, those devices must all be updated too — older versions cannot open the converted folder. Devices that only sync with this one are not affected.

Reliability and security. Review fixes across the core: sync, folder permissions, imports and attachment names. The space info no longer shows the Sync key phrase’s “Regenerate” button, which could not be used on an owner's device.

What you just typed is kept. When you quit, lock or switch a space, or close a note tab, memost no longer waits a fixed guess for the last letters and title to be saved: it waits until the editor says it has handed everything over, then saves. This closes a gap where the last keystrokes could be lost on a large note or a slow computer.

Large databases. Other notes open right away while a database with many items is still loading.

Safer ✨ AI command runs. Background runs now work in a folder only you can use instead of the shared /tmp, and no longer pick up settings someone else left there. Claude Code and Codex CLI also start when your login shell is fish, tcsh or nushell, and a run that goes over its time is first asked to stop, then ended together with the programs it started.

Smoother screen. The window no longer pauses while looking for an image or cover that has not arrived. A database that is still arriving no longer flips to ‘missing’ when an answer is slow, and its items fill in as they land.

Sync. A folder that briefly cannot be read no longer costs database items their sync records. Spaces on exFAT and FAT drives are scanned faster, and a database item changed on another computer is noticed there. While a large space first downloads, what the screen waits for still comes first without stalling the rest.

Databases. Editing a column of a database inside a note no longer undoes columns added or removed elsewhere. A percent cell now edits the value you see, and moving an item to another day in the calendar view keeps its time (build 62).

✨ AI command background runs. A run no longer hangs after Claude Code or Codex CLI finishes when a program it started is still around; the run ends with the command. A request starting with ‘-’ is no longer read as one of the command's options.

Sync. While a large space is first downloading, a note a link or card is waiting for is fetched first, and spaces with many database items are scanned faster (build 59). Images and covers on screen are fetched first too, and a database that has not arrived yet says it is still arriving from your other devices instead of missing, then appears as soon as it lands (build 60).

Your AI connection settings are kept. Clicking ‘Add to Claude Desktop’ or ‘Add to ChatGPT’ again changes only the bridge path and keeps what you put in memost's entry yourself (environment variables, startup timeout and so on). The config as it was before memost first changed it stays in .bak, and the config is written in full before it replaces the old one, so an interruption never leaves a truncated file.

Older CPUs. On a very old CPU without AVX, AI recording (🎙) is not offered. Before, the app closed mid-recording.

Configs kept as symbolic links. When an AI app's config file is a symbolic link to a file elsewhere, memost now edits that file instead of replacing the link, and the config keeps its permissions (build 57).

Notes you work on with AI — connect AI apps through MCP. Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Codex on this computer connect to memost through MCP to find, read and edit notes in the spaces you allow. Turn it on in Settings ▸ AI connection, where ‘Add to Claude Desktop’ and ‘Add to ChatGPT’ (which registers memost in the Codex config) connect in one click, or copy the commands that connect Claude Code and Codex CLI · ChatGPT. What an AI changed is marked in the version history, and in an open note Ctrl+Z undoes it.

✨ AI command. The ✨ button above a note and on the selection toolbar sends a request about the note you are looking at to an AI app. Save requests you use often, give them a Ctrl+Alt shortcut, and drag them into order. Pick Claude Code or Codex CLI in the background as the target and the command runs at once with no window; its progress and answer show under Recent runs in the ✨ window. The last command you sent is there again the next time you open it.

Sub-notes. /Add note in a note's body makes a new note under it. In the sidebar a note folds and unfolds like a folder; drag a note onto the middle of another to nest it, onto an edge to reorder it, or into a folder to take it out. The path bar runs through the parent notes too.

Notes among a folder's subfolders. Place a note before or between subfolders. The order at the top of the sidebar is now each person's own.

Databases. Item templates (⋯ ▸ Add template — new items start as a copy of it), items made with the bar's Add item appear at the top, a database item height in Settings ▸ Fonts, and sorting by created, modified and viewed dates, author and tags.

Note lock. Lock a note in the Document Info (ⓘ) panel and its body, title and properties cannot be changed.

Drag attachments into a note. Drop a file from the Attachments list into a note and the same attachment goes in, without a copy.

AI recording (🎙). Record with the 🎙 button above a note and Whisper transcribes on this computer, putting each sentence into the note with a time chip that plays that part of the recording. The recording is stored as the note's attachment. With Speaker labels on, sentences are labelled ‘Speaker 1’, ‘Speaker 2’ by voice. Pick a language and model under Settings ▸ AI connection ▸ AI speech recognition and download it. Recognition runs on the CPU and is slower than on a Mac, so the Base model is recommended. Recording and recognition stay on this computer and are sent nowhere.

Notion import. Right-click Unfiled, a section or a folder in the sidebar and choose ‘Import from Notion…’ to import right there. A Notion page's sub-pages come in as sub-notes under it, in the order its body links them, instead of a folder of the same name.

Fixed. Notes unfolded in the sidebar were all folded again after a relaunch, and a Notion import turned text columns with repeated values (memos, remarks) into select columns. Notion's Markdown export carries no property types, so select columns now come in as text too.

Favorites are personal. Favorites are no longer shared by the whole space; they are shared only among devices of the same account. Other owners' and participants' favorites do not appear in your sidebar, and yours do not reach them. Your existing favorites stay as they are.

ARM64 catches up. The ARM64 package moves from 0.36.0 to 0.38.4, bringing the 0.38 space password, trusted devices, several accounts and the folder sidebar to ARM machines.

A sidebar of folders. Sections (such as Home) appear as folder rows laid out like Unfiled, instead of bold headings. Click the name to open its folder list, and use the arrow to fold it. In place of a section's ⋯ and ＋ buttons, right-click for the same menu a folder has (new subfolder, add a page or database, add to favorites and more).

Favorites in one row. Favorites is a row with a star, folded and unfolded with its arrow.

Confirm devices from any owner device. Owner devices now share the list of devices waiting for confirmation, so a phone that only reaches the host can be approved on a Mac or on this computer.

No second password prompt after a restore. The password you type when you sign in and bring a space back now serves as its space password, so a password window no longer pops up again as soon as it opens.

Cleaner disconnects. While an account is being disconnected from this computer, you see its progress instead of the unlock screen or security windows of spaces about to be removed.

Space names. A space name made on a Mac no longer shows its Korean letters broken apart on other computers.

One space password. Each space has one password, and only its owners know it. Owners can change it from Space info. Participants open the space without a password, with a device key kept in this computer's keyring ("Unlock with device authentication").

Only trusted devices. Only devices an owner approved and signed receive a space's content. Approving a join request and changing someone's role or permissions ask for the space password once. Space info shows each device's status, and you can remove a device you no longer use.

Once, at first launch. The first time you run this version, your spaces move to the new scheme; if you are an owner, you are asked in turn to start owner signatures or to confirm waiting devices.

One computer, several accounts. Add several accounts in Settings ▸ PRO and choose the default account and the one that hosts. Pick which account each space syncs with in Space info; disconnecting an account from this computer cleans up its spaces safely.

Organization spaces without a password. Spaces your organization shares arrive with no password to type.

Sync that doesn't lose notes. A device that had not finished receiving a space could delete notes on your other devices; that is fixed. When another device tries to delete many notes at once (or over a day), they are not deleted right away: you are asked whether to bring them back or apply the deletion.

Notes deleted on another device are kept for 30 days. A note that disappears here because another device deleted it stays in the trash under "Deleted on another device" for 30 days, ready to restore.

Who deleted it. Only what a person moves to the trash or empties from it is deleted on other devices, and the trash shows who deleted each item. The app never deletes a note on its own: a file it cannot find is fetched again from another device.

No more uploads and conflicts from just reading. A note that was only open on another device kept being uploaded, and text typed in one go on one device could end up in a "merge conflict" box. Both are fixed; update a Linux computer used as the host too, and it applies across all your devices.

Sync status bar. It now appears only while notes or attachments are actually being sent or received; a sync that only compares lists is no longer shown.

Notes as dashboards. Drag any block onto the left or right edge of another block and the two sit side by side in columns. Drag the divider between columns to change their widths, or make them straight away with 2, 3 or 4 columns from the slash menu.

Note cards. After you pick a note with @, choose whether it goes in as a link or a card. A card shows the note like a bookmark: its icon, folder path, current title, the start of its text, its cover and when it was edited.

Resizing and ＋ to add. Drag to change the width of videos, PDFs, drawings and bookmarks, and the height of the PDF viewer. Hover over a block's handle (⠿) and a ＋ appears above and below it; click one to add a new block on that side.

Databases inside notes. A database in a note loads its first 20 rows, and "+ Load more" brings in the rest, so large databases open quickly. Each block remembers its view tab, whether its title shows, how many rows it lists and its height; there is now search and a list view, and the table sits in a rounded, card-like frame.

Sidebar order. Graph and Trash can now be dragged anywhere in the sidebar like the other items. By default they sit under your sections as Graph, Attachments, then Trash.

A faster always-on host. A Linux computer used as the host syncs with several devices at once, and a large space sends its structure first in parts, so the first sync is quicker. A link to a note that is still arriving says so.

Notes no longer look garbled on NVIDIA (nouveau) displays. On a computer whose display is driven by the nouveau driver, note content no longer draws as overlapping fragments.

"Vaults" are now "spaces". The place your notes live is called a space throughout the app. Folders and data are unchanged.

An easier start. On first launch, choose "Use on this device only" or "Log in and sync". On this device only, a name and a space password are all it takes, and a space you used before in the default location is found and offered to open. When you want to share it with other devices, set a name and email in Space Info ▸ Use with other devices.

Sign in inside the app. Sign in with your email and password to bring back the spaces kept in your account. A new account makes its first space linked to the account, and free members can keep their space list too. Sign-up and password reset open in your browser.

Catching up with the Mac. Database rows and inline databases move with their note, and the path bar shows where they belong. Inline databases show their title in the note, and their columns can be resized in table view. Lucide icons with a picker of 365 icons and 1,870 emoji, the 🎨 Appearance panel, moving and deleting many notes at once, trash-emptying progress, info for a locked space, and placeholders on the space list for spaces to bring back after signing in.

No more crashes on NVIDIA (nouveau) displays. On a computer whose display is driven by the nouveau driver, the window is drawn on the CPU, avoiding a graphics-driver fault that closed the app.

Editing the same note on several devices no longer makes a copy. Edits to different blocks are merged into one note; edits to the same block show a conflict box right there in the note, where you pick one version, keep both, or edit and use the result. Notes with an unresolved conflict get a warning mark in the sidebar.

See when another device has the same note open. The top of the note says "Device name (author) is editing this note on another device.", and it disappears as soon as they close the note.

A Linux computer used as the always-on host passes changes on faster. It tells devices on cellular, such as an iPhone, about a change it relayed right away, instead of their picking it up up to two minutes later.

Markdown. The block editor turns markdown as you type it — tables, links, footnotes, headings 1–6, to-dos, code blocks — and pasted markdown arrives formatted. Images in ![alt](image address) are saved into the vault.

Paste as Plain Text (Ctrl+Shift+V). Pastes markdown as the characters it is, without turning it into formatting. It is in the app menu too. The usual Ctrl+V still turns markdown into formatting.

Vaults kept on a cloud drive. A note open while another device changes it is reloaded, and anything not yet saved is merged instead of overwritten. A new app icon, and a fix for devices with several vaults whose sync could get stuck.
