New in Notesnook 3.0.2 (May 5, 2024)

  • Attachment manager is now accessible without logging in:
  • This is especially useful when you are restoring backups in order to see find or restore a specific attachment without first logging into an account.
  • Fixed unnecessary attachment overwriting during sync conflict:
  • There was a logical error in our sync process causing all attachments to get overwritten with their locally cached files removed. This logic was added to handle the edge case where 2 devices upload the same attachment. However, it also triggered when that wasn't the case.
  • This bug is also the reason why your locally cached images & PDFs sometimes get removed and have to be redownloaded.
  • Fixed account recovery redirecting to the sign up page:
  • This issue was surprising especially because we didn't touch anything related to auth or account recovery in v3. Turns out we were double initializing the SQLite database during the authentication step which throws a Driver not initialized error. Any error during the authentication step just redirects the user to the sign up page (this is probably not a good idea and we should show the actual error instead).
  • This has now been fixed and account recovery should work as before.
  • Fixed unnecessary attachment uploading on a failed recheck:
  • There was a really weird issue causing an attachment to unnecessarily be marked for uploading any time an error occured during download or recheck. The constantly happened even if the error was due to a network issue.
  • Fixed Invalid backup on restoring some backups
  • Last year when we changed our backup format to a .zip file, we used to store an empty .nnbackup file for "verification" purposes. Unfortunately, when taking a backup before migrating to v3, this empty file wasn't written to the backup file causing the Invalid backup error on restore.
  • In this release, we have removed this check as it wasn't very foolproof in the first place. This means that trying to restore a random .zip as a backup file will probably fail in some other unexpected way.
  • (Properly) fixed Please login to create an encrypted backup. error during migration:
  • In v3.0.1 we fixed this error but the root cause was not addressed. When you migrate to v3 from v2 app, it takes an automatic backup. This backup is taken using the "legacy" backup logic that doesn't use SQLite etc.
  • The problem occured when due to some unexpected reason, the user's account information got removed from the legacy database. This made the app think that the user wasn't logged in and, hence, threw the error.
  • Since the most important thing is to backup the data before migration (not the encryption), the app now automatically turns encryption off if it cannot find the user when taking the "legacy" backup. NOTE: This is only for legacy backups. Taking a v3 backups with encryption turned on but without user information will still throw an error.

New in Notesnook 3.0.1 (May 1, 2024)

  • SQL Based Search
  • Notesnook now supports the full FTS5 search syntax. Here's a quick summary about what it'll enable:
  • Wrap a phrase in quotes (e.g. "<phrase>") to run exact search
  • Simple queries (such as "best blog ideas") will look for the words best, blog & ideas and show all notes that contain these words regardless of their sequence.
  • You can use boolean operators OR, AND & NOT to further narrow down results. For example: notesnook OR evernote will show all notes that either have the word notesnook or evernote in them.
  • The FTS5 query syntax supports a lot of functionality which you can read about here.
  • Multiline search & replace
  • You can now search and replacing across lines using Regex.
  • I have also improved the overall UX of search replace so it now works much more smoothly:
  • Turning on Regex search automatically reruns the search without you having to press Enter again. Same for toggling other things like Match whole word, Match case etc. Shift + Enter moves to the previous search result.
  • Fixed database disk image is malformed error on sync
  • This error occured whenever the sync engine tried to update a deleted note or content item. Deleted items have the following structure:
  • Whenever a content or a note item is updated, NN runs an SQLite trigger that updates the FTS5 search index with the new values. This worked in most cases but when it tried to update the index based on the deleted item, it didn't find the required fields (noteId & data) resulting in the above error. The bug didn't affect any data or cause any permanent corruption.
  • The fix was to only run the trigger if and only if the item isn't deleted and has all the required fields.
  • You can review the changes in this PR: #4957.
  • Fixed editor crash with error Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.
  • Upgrading to React 18 brought with it a bunch of stupid crashes. This particular crash occurs in such a way that there's no way to catch it. Let's start from the beginning:
  • In order to render custom react node views inside the editor, we have to use React Portals. However, ProseMirror doesn't actually support the React way of doing things. ProseMirror is 100% synchronous while React is asynchronous and operates on a virtual dom. The problem occurs when ProseMirror removes a DOM node which is still present in React's Virtual DOM resulting in the above crash.
  • That's not all, using React Portals also causes recursive & excessive updates to the underlying node view making the editor super slow as the number of custom node views increase (e.g. too many task items in a task list). I haven't investigated why this happens, though.
  • In any case, the fix was to get rid of React Portals and use a new React 18 createRoot for every node view. Sounds excessive but trust me, it works much more smoothly. The only loss is that now node views don't share the parent context which isn't a huge deal: the only context we require is the Theme which can be reapplied as necessary.

New in Notesnook 3.0.0 (Apr 29, 2024)

  • Migrating to SQLite:
  • If you have been using Notesnook you would never notice that all of it is built on a very simple key value database. KV databases are really cool but fail miserably if you want to selectively query data, or do partial updates. As a result, when you increase the number of notes in Notesnook, the performance becomes abysmal. I am talking about 30+ seconds to startup the app with 50K notes on iPhone 6s, laggy scrolling, and a simple note taking 10s to save on each edit.
  • Fixing the sync:
  • This fixes all the problems with a time based sync engine:
  • Debugging is easier because server has a list of all changes for each device.
  • Detecting changed items is just as efficient as comparing their modified time but more stable.
  • Resumability comes built-in.
  • As a result, in v3 you'll notice a much more reliable sync that "just works" regardless of where you are, how many devices you are on, or the time difference between them.
  • Background sync on mobile:
  • Notesnook mobile apps will also now automatically sync your notes and other data in the background at regular intervals. This will ensure that you are always synced even if you never open the app. For example, setting a reminder on the desktop/web app will automatically set it on your phone as well (without requiring you to open the app).
  • Background sync can be disabled from Settings > Sync Settings > Background sync.
  • Merge conflict tolerant sync
  • In v2, whenever a merge conflict occured the sync would stop until you resolved all the conflicts regardless of whether you made changes in the conflicted note(s) or not. This was quite frustrating.
  • In v3, we have fixed this: the app will now continue to sync even if you have merge conflicts.
  • Features, Features:
  • It is always a struggle to decide which features to add and which features to leave for later. v3 is no different but even then, it is probably one of our biggest releases ever.
  • Note linking:
  • After a long excrutiating wait we have finally added support for linking 2 notes in Notesnook. Not just that, you can also link directly to a specific block inside a note. Clicking on the internal link takes you directly to that block.
  • We also added controls to quickly see which notes are currently linked, and which other notes are referencing a particular note.
  • To keep things simple, a note link is no different than a normal hyperlink except that clicking on it will take you to the note instead of an external page. When you export your notes, your note links are automatically resolved to actual Markdown/ HTML files. This is something no other app (that I know of) does instead keeping the links in their app specific format (with note id and everything) making them essentially useless after export.
  • Tabs:
  • The only reason we added tabs was to allow quick navigation to/from a note on clicking a note link. You can, of course, use tabs without ever linking a note.
  • Notesnook is one of the few note taking apps (besides Obsidian & OneNote) that has a full fledged tab experience. With v3, we are slowly upgrading Notesnook to become a poweruser's tool while keeping things just as simple as before. Which brings me to...
  • Nested notebooks:
  • With v3, we are getting rid of "topics" as an organization concept, and replacing it with "subnotebooks". All your topics will automatically convert to subnotebooks after upgrading to v3.
  • At rest encryption:
  • Notesnook was always end-to-end encrypted i.e. your notes always got encrypted on your device before being sent to the cloud. However, those notes weren't stored encrypted on your device. For some users, this was a big no-no.
  • With v3, we are fixing this short coming of Notesnook. Thanks to SQLite (and sqlite-multiple-ciphers), at rest encryption is now a thing on all platforms. When you first open the app, it will automatically generate an encryption key and store it securely in the platform KeyStore/KeyChain. This encryption key is then used to encrypt/decrypt the SQLite database.
  • App lock:
  • At rest encryption works with or without app lock, but it is recommended that you enable it nonetheless especially on the web app where there is no platform KeyChain/KeyStore.
  • Web/Desktop:
  • When you enable app lock, it further encrypts your database encryption key with your app lock pin (or security key) so it's not just an "overlay". If you forget your app lock pin, the only way into the app is to reset & clear the database and start over.
  • Export attachments with notes
  • In v3, we have improved the export process to include:
  • Attachments are now exported as separated files (both files & images) instead of getting embedded inside notes.
  • Notes are automatically organized based on the notebooks they are in.
  • Internal note links are resolved to actual HTML/MD files
  • Notes & notebooks with duplicate names are now properly renamed for deduplication.
  • User profile:
  • In v2 we added the ability to personalize Notesnook using themes and in v3 we are taking that a step further by allowing you to set up your profile. This will add a personal touch to your Notesnook experience. As always, everything is 100% end-to-end encrypted included the profile picture.
  • Currently your profile is only used for aesthetic purposes. However, in the future we plan to make use of it for Monographs (optionally), collaboration etc.
  • Custom colors for note organization:
  • Each person has their own color hierarchy. For some, red signifies importance but for others it has a different meaning. Some people can't tolerate a certain shade of red etc. etc. That is why in v3, we are introducing custom colors for organizing your notes.
  • Customizable side bar:
  • The side bar is now fully customizable including:
  • Hiding items you don't use
  • Changing the order of items (e.g. move Notebooks to the top)
  • Reorganizing the order of shortcuts & colors
  • Callouts:
  • With callouts you can make certain sections of your notes "pop" for better readability. Initially, we have added around 20 types of different callouts which should suffice.
  • Callouts are also collapsible and nestable so you can add a callout inside a callout etc.
  • Table of Contents:
  • If you have very long notes with a lot of headings, navigating around can become really painful. In v3, we have added support for Table of Contents so you can quickly jump around without a lot of scrolling.
  • Custom titlebar on Desktop app:
  • A desktop app should look and feel like a desktop app instead of just a wrapper around a web app. In v3 we are bringing a fully custom title bar with integrated editor tabs to make things feel more "desktop-y".
  • Change highlighting in merge conflicts:
  • If you get a lot of merge conflicts, or if you are just comparing 2 note versions, it can become really difficult to figure out what actually changed. In v3, we have added change highlighting on all platforms when viewing merge conflicts or note versions.
  • Image compression & multi image upload:
  • Ever since we added support for attachments, we have avoided compressing images to allow users to attach images in their full quality. The drawback of this approach is that on some slower platforms like mobile, loading notes with a lot of images becomes extremely slow and laggy. Another point to consider is that not all images need to be added in their original quality (e.g. receipts, screenshots etc.).
  • Other features:
  • Add support for copy/pasting code blocks with syntax highlighting.
  • The top bar in note properties sheet now remembers which actions to take more frequently and moves the to top automatically. For example if you use the "Copy" action a lot, it automatically moves to start. We have also moved most toggles and single click actions to top bar from the bottom grid.
  • Simple checklists — sometimes you just need a simple checkbox without all the fancy task list features. In this beta version we have added just that. Checklists are barebones version of task lists being extremely lightweight and simple to use.
  • Drag/drop notes & notebooks — you can now drag drop notes and notebooks just like you'd do files on your file browser. Drag a note to a notebook, color or tag and it'll automatically get assigned. Or maybe drag a notebook to another notebook and it'll automatically become its child.
  • You can now sort/group your notes by both title & date.
  • We have added a "New Note" Quick Settings button on Android.

  • We have redesigned the Notesnook theme engine to add support for user specified custom themes. That means you, me, or anyone else can now easily change how Notesnook looks!

  • Vericrypt source code was unpublished when we open sourced Notesnook last year. However, due to recent demand it has been updated and made open source again. Yay to transparency and privacy! Check out the code here.
  • Much, much improved copy/pasting:
  • Before this release, copying or pasting anything into or out of Notesnook would result in unpredictable and weird formatting. All that has now been fixed. Notesnook now tries very, very hard to preserve the source formatting of the copied or pasted content. To give you a few examples:
  • Copying a single list item no longer copies it as a list but as a paragraph
  • Copying multiple list items no longer add empty lines around each list item
  • Copying content to & from Notesnook now follows the Double spaced paragraph setting. In English this means that, people who have disabled double spaced paragraphs will no longer see paragraphs with double the spacing when pasting content into Notesnook and vice versa.

  • Privacy mode on Desktop — The mobile app has had privacy mode for many, many versions and now desktop app gets it too.

  • Changing your account email is now possible (and it works just like you expect it to :D).
  • New & improved login flow — (this deserves its very own blog post) we are taking Notesnook security up a notch by redesigning how our login works. After much brainstorming, we realized that your account password is the most important credential & keeping it safe should be our foremost priority. To that end, we have moved password entry to be the last step in login. Here's how it works:
  • Enter email
  • Authenticate second factor (can be email, sms or authenticator app)
  • Enter password

New in Notesnook 1.4.0 (Jul 4, 2021)

  • Monographs:
  • Sharing a note with someone can be such a tedious task. You have to copy/download/export it to a file and upload it to some cloud storage and then attach it in an email and send it to them.
  • With Notesnook, you don't need to do that anymore. Monographs enable you to share your notes with anyone in just one click. Once a note is published as a monograph, you get a public url which you can send to the person who needs access to information in the note.
  • You can share this url with anyone to view the contents of the note without downloading Notesnook. And the cool part is, you can encrypt(lock) monographs with a password.
  • Context menus now have icons:
  • Icons add visual context helping users perform actions faster. That is why, all context menus will have icons by default.
  • Sticky editor toolbar:
  • Going up and down just to add an image or a table was getting annoying. So we made the toolbar sticky. Moreover, the toolbar is now above the note title. This makes the editor much more "flowy".
  • Payments:
  • Yearly subscription plan:
  • You asked, we listened. There is now an official $49.99/yr plan for Notesnook Pro. You get all the same perks as the monthly plan except you pay yearly instead of monthly.
  • Super new subscription dialog:
  • Aside from a super new Notesnook Pro dialog, we added localized pricing to help you make the final decision faster. You can also apply promo codes directly from inside the dialog.
