1.2.2

  • NewFocus (in the left menu): say how long you want to work and Textablo plans the work and the breaks (Pomodoro 25/5, 52/17, 90/20 or your own rhythm) and tells you when it's time to rest. A ticking mechanical clock or a digital one, tick-tock if you like, plus a widget: a small clock above all windows that stays when you minimize Textablo. Drag it anywhere (it snaps to edges and corners), switch it to digital or to a small bar with the time. On a break it guides your breathing, and it counts your days in a row.
  • ImprovedFaster with lots of notes: with 5,000 notes Textablo opens twice as fast, search is about 20 times faster, and it uses less memory.
  • ImprovedA reminder in however long you want: type “45 s”, “7 min”, “1h 30m” or “2:30” and Textablo shows the exact time right away. It rings on the second.
  • ImprovedA new, refined logo: clearly visible on both light and dark taskbars, and sharp beside the clock.
  • ImprovedSimpler notifications: a reminder shows only what, in which note and when, and the “Done” and “Snooze 10 min” buttons work right from the notification.
  • NewCalendar (in the left menu): the whole month with your reminders, repeats included ahead. Click a day to see what's on it and add something; drag a reminder onto another day to move it.
  • NewGoogle Calendar in Textablo: paste your calendar's secret iCal address and your Google events show next to your reminders. No sign-in, read-only, and the address is stored encrypted. Every reminder also has “Add to Google Calendar”.
  • NewPin a note to the desktop (··· menu or right-click): a small window with the note that you can write in, can stay in front of all windows, and stays pinned after a restart.
  • NewType / in a note and pick a block: heading, list, to-do, table, image, reminder, today's date… Typing after / filters (e.g. /tab), Esc leaves the / as text.
  • NewA ⋮⋮ handle beside every paragraph: drag it to move the paragraph, click it to turn it into something else, duplicate or delete it. + adds a new line below. From the keyboard: Ctrl + Shift + ↑/↓.
  • NewToggle sections (click the arrow to hide or show what's inside) and callouts with an icon, for tips, warnings and things that are done.
  • NewLong notes with 3 or more headings get an outline on the right: you see where you are, and a click takes you to a heading.
  • NewA note can have its own icon (an emoji) beside the title: it also shows in the list, on Home and in Quick open, so notes are easier to tell apart. Hover above the title → “Add icon”.
  • popravkaThe reminder count on the bell is no longer cut off at the top.
  • popravkaWhat's new, reports, About and import opened from Settings: X takes you back to Settings, on the same tab, instead of closing everything.
  • ImprovedEverything Textablo makes by itself is in its own folder: the daily backup is no longer in Documents (old backups move over by themselves).
  • ImprovedA smaller, cleaner install: updates are about 5 times smaller, and the app folder has 19 files instead of 73.

1.2.1

  • popravkaBoard: the eraser removes what it touches, including a frame with a card on top of it and everything along a fast swipe. It leaves cards, pictures and text alone, and Ctrl + Z brings back what was erased. Picking another tool clears the selection.
  • ImprovedBoard: everything is easier to grab. Drag a selected item from anywhere inside it; grab an empty frame or ellipse by its middle; arrows and pen strokes have a wide grip at any zoom. A long word without spaces no longer runs out of its card.
  • NewBoard: every tool has its own color. Pick a tool and choose its color right next to it; it stays for that tool until you pick another, even after a restart.
  • ImprovedBoard: an arrow on a picture points exactly at the detail where you let go. Dragging the arrow itself moves it as its own element.
  • popravkaHighlighted text is readable in the dark theme too. Tidier spacing in Settings and on Home.
  • NewImport notes from Google Keep, Notion, Evernote, Obsidian (Markdown) and Word; OneNote via Word. You see what was found before importing, and importing again makes no duplicates. Settings → Data.
  • NewReminders from text: write “call Mark tomorrow at 10” and Textablo offers a reminder in one click. Works in the quick note too. Turn it off in Settings → Reminders.
  • NewShare a note by link: the note is inside the link itself and isn’t stored on any server.
  • NewExport a note to PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML or text; a board as a picture or PDF; a whole folder as a zip.
  • NewSearch with filters (type, tag, folder, date, images, tasks, reminder) and operators like #work or has:tasks; matching words are highlighted.
  • ImprovedA new look for Shortcuts (each one explained, with search), What's new, Reminders and empty lists (such as an empty Trash).
  • ImprovedBoard: the linked card (text from the Document) is edited right on the board with a double-click; every change reaches the document at once, and the pictures stay where they were.
  • ImprovedBoard: “New card”, “New to-do list” and the rest from the right-click menu are just added and can be moved right away; double-click to start writing.
  • popravkaThe frame around a selected card or picture fits it exactly and follows its rounded corners; no second frame over the text while you write.
  • popravkaHighlighted text across a bold part is one piece, with no gap in the middle.
  • popravkaThe “linked” badge is in English when the app is in English.
  • popravka“Start with Windows” now really turns on.
  • popravkaCards with tasks or linked text no longer have extra space at the bottom; the text sits in the middle of the card.
  • ImprovedBoard: a double-click always starts writing in a card. Double-click a picture to draw on it, a shape to add text, and a curved arrow to straighten it.
  • ImprovedSettings are wider and split into categories. Scrollbars are easier to see and no longer stick out over rounded corners.
  • NewLight and dark theme in one click at the bottom left, or Ctrl + Shift + L. Next to it is the Help menu (tour, what's new, report a bug, shortcuts).
  • NewA new tour on first launch: what Textablo can do, and a choice of light or dark theme.
  • NewHome: a greeting, reminders, tasks from all your notes (check them off right there), a quick note, recent and favorite notes, templates and “Getting started”. Pick what shows under “Customize”.
  • NewTextablo in English: the whole app. Pick the language in Settings (by default it follows Windows).
  • NewSettings → About: privacy policy and open-source licenses.
  • NewReport a bug / idea (Help menu): attach pictures (paste with Ctrl + V, drag them in, or capture the window in one click). The report goes privately to the developer, and “My reports” shows what you sent.
  • NewRight-click selected text → "Send to…": the text stays both here and there, linked live. Check off a task in one place and it's checked everywhere.
  • NewTo-do lists show a progress bar with the percentage done: in the note list, in the note and on board cards.
  • New"What's new": after every update you see what changed, by date.
  • ImprovedNew versions are checked for every 30 minutes (you can change this in Settings).
  • popravkaX buttons and the buttons at the top of the window (Settings, Shortcuts, menus) now always respond to clicks; no more need for Escape.
  • popravkaIn a narrow window, toolbar buttons that don't fit move into the "More" menu instead of disappearing.
  • popravkaJust opening a note or clicking "Edit" no longer changes its modified time or moves it to the top of the list.
  • ImprovedQuick note (Ctrl + Alt + N) has an X to close it.
  • ImprovedBoard: double-clicking an empty spot no longer creates a new card. Double-clicking a card still opens it for writing; new cards are made with the button, the N key or a right-click.
  • popravkaIn a narrow window, dialogs no longer run off the screen, and board tools scroll when there is no room.
  • ImprovedSearch stays fast even with thousands of notes.
  • NewDark theme: Settings → Appearance (Light, Dark or follow Windows). The board, cards and pen follow the theme.
  • ImprovedUpdates are digitally signed: Textablo only installs a release we really published.
  • ImprovedSecurity: notes from someone else's backup or a shared folder are cleaned of anything that could run code, and importing an opened backup asks first.
  • ImprovedKeyboard: Tab stays inside an open window, focus returns where it was, arrow keys work in menus. Better screen reader support.
  • ImprovedFaster start: the board and windows load only when needed. Pictures in long notes load as you scroll to them.
  • ImprovedSaving survives power cuts better, and an antivirus or OneDrive briefly locking the file no longer fails a save.
  • popravkaFolder sync: when two computers change the same note at the same moment, both now keep the same version.
