Version 5.0.0 (2023/06/01)
New Features 🌟
Welcome to SnipNotes 5! This major update adds some of the most frequently requested features. For a detailed overview, please go to snipnotes.de/update-5.
You can now create multiple levels of categories to organize your notes hierarchically. Long-press (or right-click) on a category and select “Move…” to assign it to another category. On iOS, you can also drag a category to the bottom of your screen to move it. You can unlock nested categories by making a one-time purchase within the app. If you have purchased SnipNotes Plus after January 1st, 2023, you will automatically get access to nested categories.
The category list has a new look and a few new features. For example, you can collapse the trash or your own 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. There is also a search field which 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.
On Mac, you can now integrate SnipNotes into your shortcuts. Create notes and categories, append text to notes, open notes, and much more.
SnipNotes 5 for Mac is available as a new app on the Mac App Store for macOS 12 and later. This is a technical requirement to allow for shared purchases between iOS and macOS. Please go to snipnotes.de/migration-5 for more details on how to migrate to the new version.
