• Sep 15, 2026 1.9
  Vue rewrite and feature additions, app is 124 kb now! - Widgets are now available, only works if you have setup sync, the widget reads from that .md file - Widgets have transparency settings, sort, refresh buttons - Sync has now been optimised, but still consider it Beta, keep your notes backed up using the json format. - Double tap floating input bar to open it - New UI for the easter egg games, reset high scores feature - New sort and enter button below input bar

  - Markdown import (Beta) and export - Autosync (Beta) to use with syncthing, - Note tabs all stay on screen, no more need to scroll to see all tabs, this takes us away from the google tasks design but I feel like this is better, all tabs in immediate eyesight and memory - Toggle to disable swipe, prevents accidental swipes when moving notes - Imported fonts can now be removed, should've been obvious from the start, my bad - Input box expands, specially useful when editing notes - App title respects status bar space now (on my devices, need more devices to test, I could just leave a lot of space there but that would just eat up screen space, consider this an ongoing process to fiddle with the design here and there) - Important notes can now be pinned - Introduced a thoughtful quotes box, get motivated/encouraged by quotes from the greatest minds.

  #### So many new features might as well call it Karui++ now. Almost all new features are toggleable and don't add any bloat - Add notes from status bar, or from other apps when selecting text (my mind races with ideas when watching youtube so I added this feature), helpful for saving trivial stuff you notice when reading some article or maybe for searching it later. - Bolder New UI Design, leaning slightly more into windows-8 metro and windows mobile aesthetics - Notes sorting and drag and drop optimized and now looks better (imho) - UI size options - Floating button on bottom right of the app to bring input box in focus - Sort Notes Alphabetically - Notify when deleting or copying a note, system notifications when copying a note to Karui from another app - Add a % symbol on any tabname and it automatically counts percentage of tasks completed (Inspired by orgzly revived on f-droid)

• Jan 27, 2026 1.4 Release page →
  **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/ronynn/karui/compare/1.2...1.4 - With Android 16 as the targetSDK we now have the notification bar staying over the app screen as you scroll. However I believe this can lead to problems when you try to delete notes that are at bottom, getting behind the navbar. - Amoled support, was added laat year but I didn't make a release version with it. - Many new themes, themeforest-light is my favourite among them.
