Note Repo 2.1

Note Repo 2.1 updates itself, and lets you write several lines in one item.

What's new

• Updates from inside the app. Once a day, Note Repo asks GitHub for a newer version. When there is one, it shows what's new, and Install and Relaunch puts it in place of the old app. Note Repo → Check for Updates… checks right away.
• Several lines in one item. ⌥Return starts a new line inside the same item, instead of a new item. It's saved as <br>, so each item is still one line of Markdown, and the noterepo CLI reads and writes it the same way.
• Search results stay in their panel. A search with many matches used to spill its results over the sidebar and the window buttons. Now they scroll inside the panel.
• The cursor on an empty item. On an empty last item, the blinking cursor was shorter than the line and sat too high. Now it lines up with the bullet.

The changelog lists what changed in every release.

Updating from 2.0

2.0 can't update itself, so this is the last time you replace the app by hand. Quit Note Repo, replace the app in your Applications folder with the new one, and open it. Your notes stay where they are, and if you linked the CLI, the link keeps working.

Install

Download NoteRepo-2.1.0.zip, unzip it, and drag Note Repo to your Applications folder. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14 or later.

Note Repo isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized, so the first time you open it, macOS says it "could not verify Note Repo is free of malware". Click Done, then either:

• open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Note Repo, and click Open Anyway.

The README has the details, including what to do on a work laptop.

To use the CLI, link it into a folder on your PATH:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -s /Applications/NoteRepo.app/Contents/Resources/bin/noterepo ~/.local/bin/noterepo

Your notes stay in a SQLite file on your Mac. There are no accounts.
