Improved

  • New Appearance settings (enabled by default):
    • Full screen: Automatically hide interface elements while reading.
    • Floating navigation: Navigation buttons float over the content instead of being anchored.
    • Sliding sidebars: Option to have the sidebars slide to the side of the content instead of floating above.
  • When full screen mode is enabled, the phone's status bar is now hidden when you scroll in a note.
  • New App actions (the menu when you press and hold on the app icon):
    • "Manage vaults..." Closes the current vault and takes you to the vault selection screen.
    • "Today" — Opens today's daily note. Only available when the daily notes plugin is enabled.
    • "New Note" — Creates a new note in the active vault.
  • Vault switcher has a new option to "Open Vault in Restricted Mode." This option opens the vault without activating any plugins. If your vault is failing to open due to a plugin issue, use this option to debug.
