Hi,

I’ve just released SnipNotes 5, a major update for my note-taking app. It includes some of the most frequently requested features like subcategories and iCloud synchronization on Apple Watch. This new update also merges the iOS and macOS versions of SnipNotes to allow for shared purchases. Here is an overview of what’s new:

  • You can now organize your notes with subcategories. The category list has a new look and a few new features. For example, you can collapse the trash or your categories to save space. Protected categories will show a little lock icon.
  • You can now choose from a huge selection of modern icons when creating new categories. A search field helps you find the right icon for your category. The same selection of icons is available for your notes as well.
  • SnipNotes on Apple Watch will now synchronize directly with iCloud, which should improve reliability. Notes from your other devices are downloaded directly to your watch without having to open SnipNotes on your iPhone first.
  • On Mac, you can now integrate SnipNotes into your shortcuts. Create notes and categories, append text to notes, open notes, and much more.
  • SnipNotes is now translated into a total of 10 languages: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.
  • New users can unlock SnipNotes with a single in-app purchase for iOS and Mac. Both apps are available as a free download on the App Store.
Subcategories require a one-time upgrade for existing customers within the app. This purchase unlocks the feature for both iOS and macOS. If you have purchased SnipNotes Plus after January 1, 2023, you will automatically gain access to subcategories. All other new features are available free of charge for existing customers.

The new update is now available on the App Store. To enable shared purchases for iOS and macOS, I had to release a new app on the Mac App Store. Instructions on how to migrate to the new version can be found here. Your notes and purchases will be automatically transferred to the new app.

I'm happy to answer any questions or suggestions. Please feel free to reply to this thread.
 
Love the app but still anxiously waiting for two features for it to become my go to app…

Add links to pdf files
Add ability to add tables in notes

Are these features being considered in the near future?

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Thank you! 😊 Yes, both features are on my roadmap. Tables are probably farther into the future because they are hard to implement in Markdown (which SnipNotes uses for storage).
 
Hi,

I've just released SnipNotes 6, a major update for my note-taking app. It includes some of the most frequently requested features like file attachments and drawing support, making notes more comprehensive and versatile than ever before. Here's what's new:

📎 File Attachments: You can now attach various file types including PDFs, text files, and videos to your notes. Adding files is effortless with drag & drop, clipboard, share sheet, or the built-in file picker. Perfect for attaching recipes, tickets or important documents to the appropriate notes.

🎨 Drawings: Native drawing capabilities on iPhone and iPad let you sketch ideas, create diagrams, or add visual annotations using your finger or Apple Pencil. Drawings sync across all devices and can be viewed on Mac alongside other note content.

🔦 Text Highlighting: Building on the existing formatting options, SnipNotes 6 introduces a new text highlighting style that gives you even more ways to emphasize important information and express your thoughts. This new option complements the existing formatting tools and helps you create notes that are not only informative, but also visually appealing and easy to scan.

SnipNotes continues to use a fair purchase model without requiring any subscriptions. File attachments and drawing capabilities require a one-time upgrade, which is automatically unlocked for everyone who has purchased SnipNotes Plus in the past three months. The new text highlighting style is available to all users at no additional cost.

The new update maintains compatibility with all operating systems and supports versions starting from iOS 15, macOS 12, and watchOS 8.

The update is now available as a free download on the App Store.

I'm happy to answer any questions or suggestions. Please feel free to reply to this thread. 😊
