1.2.2

Outline & Table of Contents
Jump around long notes in a tap. A new Outline button lets you see all your headings at a glance and scroll straight to any section — the heading you picked briefly highlights so you always know where you landed.
Dedicated Statistics button
Word count, character count, and reading time now live in their own button, right in the note toolbar.
Cleaner writing mode
When you're editing, the toolbar keeps only what you need — distractions hide away and reappear the moment you switch back to preview.
iOS-native folder menu
The folder menu now slides your notes gently aside instead of covering them, matching the feel you expect from iOS. It's faster, smoother, and scrolls freely.

1.1.6

This update focuses on a smoother, more reliable note-taking experience:
  • Notes on iCloud Drive now preload with a proper loading screen, so you'll never hit a blank screen while files download.
  • The iCloud download progress bar now fills smoothly in real time.
  • The notes list refreshes automatically after editing - no more pull-to-refresh.
  • Filenames stay exactly as you set them; notes are no longer auto-renamed when you close them.
  • The list now shows each note's headline or first line instead of the raw filename.
  • New notes are named from their first line automatically.
  • Tap anywhere below a short note to keep writing - the cursor jumps to the end. (still beta)
  • Improved the Move-to-folder view with a collapsible folder tree.
Thanks for using Notelane!
