Download Notesify for Windows · Open the Web App

Overview

Notesify Desktop v1.3.4 brings more capable web research, explicit approval for AI note actions, richer SVG visualizations, and improvements to AI request caching and desktop usability.

Iris can now decide when a question requires live web research, retrieve information from supported web sources, and propose note actions for your approval. Meanwhile, the offline-first synchronization engine continues to protect your work against conflicting edits.

What's New

🌐 Autonomous Web Search & Retrieval

Iris can determine when a question requires current information or external documentation without requiring a manual web-search toggle.

• Search providers can fall back across Exa, Parallel, and OpenRouter, depending on configuration and availability.

• Multiple API keys can be rotated when a provider returns supported authentication, billing, or rate-limit errors.

• The crawl_url tool retrieves content from public web pages to provide additional context for AI responses.

🛡️ User-Approved Note Actions

Iris can interact directly with your notes, with explicit approval required for note creation and deletion.

• Interactive ToolApprovalCard components present proposed actions for review.

• Review proposed note titles and previews before approving an operation.

• Approve or reject the proposed action directly in the desktop workspace.

These approval steps give users control over sensitive note operations instead of allowing creation or deletion to happen silently.

🎨 Richer SVG Visualizations

Iris can generate SVG-based visualizations in addition to supported Mermaid diagrams.

• Create visual representations of architectures, concepts, and information.

• Display responsive vector graphics within the workspace.

• Show a loading placeholder while streamed visual content is being generated.

• Sanitize generated SVG markup with DOMPurify before rendering.

⚡ AI Prompt-Caching Improvements

System prompt construction now uses a date anchor formatted as YYYY-MM-DD.

• Stabilizes the date component of the system prompt throughout a calendar day.

• Helps maintain reusable prompt prefixes across requests.

• Supports prompt-cache reuse where the configured provider and caching policy permit it.

The system also uses ephemeral prompt caching for supported requests. Actual cache lifetime and performance depend on provider behavior and configuration.

📋 Improved Desktop Clipboard Support

Copy operations now have an additional fallback for environments where the standard clipboard pathway is unavailable.

• Adds a document.execCommand('copy') fallback.

• Improves clipboard compatibility across supported Electron windows and embedded web views.

• Helps copy buttons and text-selection toolbars work more reliably.

💾 Offline-First Synchronization & Conflict Resolution

Continue working with notes and flashcards when connectivity is unavailable.

• Local changes are persisted through Dexie and IndexedDB.

• Offline mutations are queued for synchronization when connectivity returns.

• Optimistic Concurrency Control (OCC) uses version validation to detect conflicting updates.

• Conflict handling helps prevent stale writes from silently overwriting newer note content.

🔍 Notesify v1.3.1 — Interactive Diff Viewer & Cross-Tab Sync

⚡ Overview

Notesify v1.3.1 introduces an intelligent, Git-style diffing experience for conflict resolution, fixes local draft caching during concurrent edits, and enables instant cross-tab editor synchronization across browser sessions.

When edits clash across tabs, Notesify isolates only the changed sentences—no more scanning thousands of unchanged words side-by-side. You can now resolve conflicts with confidence and see updates propagate in real-time.

---

✨ What's New

1. 🔍 Interactive Note Diff Viewer (NoteDiffViewer)

• Smart Hunk Grouping: Automatically isolates changed sentences while keeping 3 lines of context above and below.
• Unchanged Context Folding: Hides large chunks of identical text behind an interactive accordion pill (↕ Expand 24 unchanged lines) with a 1-click "Toggle Unchanged Lines" switch.
• Unified & Split View Toggle:
  • Unified Diff: Clean single-column stream showing added lines in green (+) and removed lines in red (-).
  • Split Diff: Side-by-side synchronized comparison columns with independent line numbers.
• Title Diff Detection: Clear visual indication when note titles differ between versions.

2. 🛡️ Frozen Conflict Draft Snapshots

• When an Optimistic Concurrency Control (409 Conflict) triggers, Notesify captures a frozen snapshot of your draft (conflict.localDraft).
• Clicking "Keep Mine (Rebase)" now guarantees your exact local draft is rebased onto the server, preventing subsequent autosaves from contaminating the chosen resolution.

3. 🌐 Authoritative Online Reload Revalidation

• Fixed an offline-first caching edge case where refreshing a tab could perpetually serve stale local Dexie data.
• Notesify now verifies if there are pending un-synced offline edits; if none exist, reloading a note fetches the authoritative cloud version and updates local IndexedDB storage.

4. 📻 Live Cross-Tab Synchronization

• Conflict resolutions now broadcast in real time across browser tabs via BroadcastChannel("notesify_conflicts").
• When you resolve a conflict in Tab A, Tab B’s TipTap editor automatically updates to the resolved text immediately without needing a manual refresh.

---

🧪 How to Test

• Diff Viewer: Edit a note in two tabs simultaneously. Force a conflict (e.g., close one tab aggressively or simulate network lag) to trigger the diff viewer.
• Cross-Tab Sync: Resolve a conflict in Tab A → Watch Tab B update instantly without refreshing.

---

🛠️ Technical Details & Commits

• NoteDiffViewer.tsx: Lightweight diffing engine powered by diffLines with custom hunk boundary detection.
• ConflictResolutionService.ts: Preserves local draft objects at conflict time and emits { entityId, resolution, note } payloads over custom events and BroadcastChannel.
• HybridNoteRepository.ts: Enhanced getNote(noteId) with offline-guard heuristic: protects local draft if offline or queued operations exist, otherwise revalidates against remote API.
• TipTap.tsx: Registered live resolution listener to update editor document nodes safely with { emitUpdate: false }.

🚀 Notesify v1.1.0 — Offline-First Desktop & Sync

🚀 Notesify v1.1.0 — Offline-First Architecture & Native Desktop Sync

This release brings a major architectural upgrade to Notesify: the desktop application is now fully usable offline, with durable local persistence and automatic synchronization when connectivity is restored.

💾 Offline-First Workspace

• Notes and folders are persisted locally using Dexie/IndexedDB.
• The desktop application can launch and load the workspace without an internet connection.
• Cached authentication state allows previously authenticated users to continue using Notesify offline.
• Local changes are available immediately without waiting for the backend.

🔄 Durable Offline Synchronization

• Offline CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE operations are persisted in a durable sync queue.
• Pending operations survive completely closing and reopening the application.
• Changes are automatically synchronized when connectivity is restored.
• Remote server changes are pulled back into the local database.
• Optimistic concurrency and conflict-handling mechanisms protect against conflicting edits.
• Idempotent handling prevents individual failed operations from unnecessarily blocking the synchronization queue.

🖥️ Native Electron Offline Support

• The React frontend is now packaged directly inside the Electron application.
• The desktop application no longer depends on the hosted web application to render its UI.
• Electron has its own synchronization trigger layer while sharing the same core synchronization engine as the web application.
• Synchronization is triggered on application startup, window focus, and network reconnection.

⚡ Local-First Architecture

User actions now follow a local-first flow:

User Action → Dexie/IndexedDB → syncQueue → Immediate UI Update → Background Sync → Backend

The network is no longer on the critical path for everyday note-taking.

🧱 Shared Synchronization Architecture

Web and Electron clients share the same synchronization engine while using platform-specific trigger adapters:

WebSyncTriggers ──────┐
├──> SyncCoordinator ──> SyncService
ElectronSyncTriggers ─┘

This keeps synchronization logic centralized while allowing each platform to respond to its own lifecycle events.

🧪 Verified End-to-End

• ✅ Launch desktop app offline
• ✅ Restore authenticated session offline
• ✅ Read existing notes and folders offline
• ✅ Create notes offline
• ✅ Update notes offline
• ✅ Delete notes offline
• ✅ Persist pending operations across application restart
• ✅ Restore network connectivity
• ✅ Automatically drain the synchronization queue
• ✅ Synchronize changes with the backend

Notesify is now genuinely offline-first, with local persistence, durable synchronization, and native desktop support.
