Mostly a release about the app behaving the same way wherever you meet it. Every menu,
picker and popover now shows a single highlight that travels to the row you are about to
choose, instead of one row's background blinking out while another's blinks in somewhere
else. Alongside that: a way to see twice as many notes at once on a phone, and a
home-screen app on iOS that finally sits flush against the bottom of the screen.
A new minor line, so a new name: Bohicon, the road and rail junction beside Abomey, where
the routes from the north, the coast and the interior meet. A fitting one for the release
that got every menu in the app to agree on how it behaves.
🆕 Added
- Two notes per row, on a phone or tablet. A control in the header of every list — the
main list, a folder, a tag, the archive and the trash — switches between one note per row
and two. The list rearranges itself where it stands, without navigating anywhere and
without losing your place in the scroll. The choice is remembered on that device and
nowhere else: it is a preference about the screen in your hand, so it is deliberately not
synced and never leaves the browser it was made in. Desktop does not get the control,
because it already fills the width with as many columns as fit. - A compact note card, drawn for the narrow width rather than the normal card squeezed
into half the space. It keeps the title, a shortened preview, and the pin, lock and colour
you recognise a note by, and it carries Archive and Delete on the card itself. Everything
else the full card offers — duplicate, organise, both exports, lock — is one tap away
behind "More actions", which opens the usual bottom sheet on a phone and a menu on a
tablet. The archive and trash lists keep their own actions unchanged. Every control on the
compact card is at least 40 by 40 points under a finger. - Three menus that needed a mouse now take the arrow keys: the menu on a table cell, the
table actions and export popovers, and the menu on a block's drag handle. Each opens onto
its first row, moves with Up and Down, wraps at both ends, and closes on Escape.
📈 Improved
- One highlight, and it travels. Every vertical list you pick a single row out of now
behaves the same way: one highlight slides to the row you are on and resizes itself to fit
it, so your eye follows one thing moving rather than hunting for a background that has
appeared somewhere new. It reaches the action menus, the folder, tag, note-link, bulk and
search-scope pickers, the search results, the/menu, the table cell menu, the table
actions and export popovers, and the block handle menu. Keyboard and pointer never
disagree about which row is selected, and the highlight resizes correctly for a label that
wraps onto a second line — which French labels regularly do. - The
/menu offers blocks, and only blocks. Strikethrough has gone back to the
toolbar with the rest of the text styling, so the menu you open to insert something no
longer mixes in something that restyles what you already wrote. - The
/menu keeps the command you picked while you carry on typing. Narrowing the
list no longer throws your choice back to the first row; it moves only when the command
you had picked stops being offered. Hovering a row selects it, and it is the same
selection the arrow keys move. - The list settles into its new density instead of jumping. Switching between one and
two notes per row used to change the layout between one frame and the next. The rows now
rise and fade in, top first, while the arrangement itself still changes on the tap. - New note sits at the right edge of the top bar on a phone, where the thumb already is,
instead of in the middle of the row splitting the page's own controls in two. Desktop is
unchanged; it was already last there.
🩹 Fixed
- The home-screen app on iOS reaches the bottom of the screen. Added to the home screen
and opened from there, Lockpad left a band of bare paper below the floating composer — on
an iPhone 17 Pro, 112 points of it where the design asks for 50 — and the note sheet and
the bottom-sheet menus stopped at the same line. Lockpad had been asking iOS for a
translucent status bar, which makes the page report the status bar as a safe area and
subtract it from the viewport while still anchoring the page to the top of the screen, so
no measurement available to a web app could reach the last 62 points. It now asks for the
ordinary status bar, iOS lays the app out below it, and the bottom of the app is the
bottom of the screen. The strip behind the clock is painted from the page background, so
it follows light and dark on its own. The composer also no longer floats a status bar too
high above the on-screen keyboard, and dragging past the end of a list no longer pulls the
page itself and opens a gap underneath.
You have to delete the Lockpad icon from your home screen and add it again. iOS
records that setting inside the icon at the moment you create it, so an icon made before
this release keeps the old behaviour however many times the app updates underneath it. - The drag handle works on an indented block. A checklist item nested under another one,
or any block at depth, handed you its parent's handle the moment your pointer crossed the
indent on the way to the grip — so the handle jumped, and catching it moved the parent and
everything underneath. Which block the handle belongs to is now decided by how far down the
pointer is rather than how far across, so it is the block you are pointing at, at any
depth. - The handle waits to be reached. It stays for 600 milliseconds after the pointer leaves
the block instead of 350, the area that keeps it alive is measured from the handle itself
rather than guessed, and scrolling now moves it along with its block instead of hiding it.
With its menu open it stays aimed at the block you opened it on, so a stray movement can
no longer leave "Move up" pointing somewhere else. - The handle lines up with the block it moves. It used to sit in one shared column at
the left edge of the note, so on an indented row it floated off to the left of a checkbox
it had no visible relationship to. It now follows the block's own leading edge, four
points clear of a bullet or a number rather than sitting on top of it, and centres on the
block's first line of text — measured from the text itself, which is what fixes the few
points it was out on list items, blockquotes and headings. - The
/menu is never cut off by the bottom of the window. Starting a command near the
foot of a long note used to open the menu downwards regardless, running it off the screen
with the last commands unreachable and nothing to scroll. It now opens upwards when it
does not fit below and there is more room above, and stays within the window on both axes
even when neither side has room. It still prefers to open downwards, so a menu that fits
appears where you expect it.
