Huge Visual Rework!

Feather has a new look: white pages, cleaner type and calmer controls. There's a note list with a preview and photo for every note, a brand-new New tab, and the same design on iPhone. Your notes are still plain files, exactly where you left them.

Feather 0.8 and 0.9 side by side

A cleaner look

  • White pages, soft grey edges. The note is the brightest thing on screen; the sidebar, tabs and toolbar step back.
  • Cleaner type. Titles and headings in a crisp, bold sans, easy to scan at any size.
  • Calmer controls. Squared-off buttons, a white floating toolbar for formatting, softer callouts and tags.
  • Light and Dark. Both themes were redone, and now go by those names.
  • Covers, note icons and your own pictures stay just as they were.

A note list with previews

A new column beside the sidebar shows your notes as cards: the title, a couple of lines of what it says, its first photo and when you last changed it. Pick All notes, a folder or a tag in the sidebar to fill it, and sort by last edited or by name. Prefer the old folder tree? Turn it off in Settings → General → Note list.

A new New tab

The old and new New tab side by side

One search box, quick ways to start (today's note shows how many tasks are open), the note you were last in, and a short list of recent notes and tags.

On iPhone too

Three iPhone screens: the note list, the New tab and a note in dark mode

The iPhone app gets the same look. Your notes open as a list of cards, and Folders is one tap away. Long-press a card for its menu.

Also new

  • Plugins from a list. Feather's own plugins install in a click from Settings → Plugins: Claude MCP, Find by meaning, Inline math and Device sync. Only plugins made and checked by us.
  • Lighter photos. Big photos are made smaller as you add them (at most 2560 px, high-quality JPEG), so notes load fast and take little space. Screenshots stay sharp, and you can turn it off in Settings.
  • Feather Cloud is coming. End-to-end encrypted sync on every device. It shows as Coming soon in Plugins and switches on by itself when it opens.

Fixes

  • The update notice's icon no longer covers its title.
