New features

Themes

Amethyst (still the default), Rose Noir, Paper & Ink (a light theme), Retro Terminal and Neon Arcade. Each restyles backgrounds, surfaces, text, fonts, borders and accents, with a live preview. Your choice applies everywhere at once and follows your account.

Where: Customization → ThemesOpen Themes

Opening animation frequency

Choose how often the opening animation plays: every visit, once per day, once per week or never. Only a fresh load or reload counts as a visit.

  • Preview animation plays it without using up today’s showing.
Where: Customization → Appearance → Opening animationOpen Appearance

Cover fan choice

Pick which collections lend their artwork to the cover fan beside your greeting. Choosing none hides the fan.

Where: Home → Customize Home → Cover fanGo Home

New checklist and folder shortcuts

New checklist and New folder keyboard shortcuts work in the open entry, next to New note. Rebind them like any other shortcut.

Where: Settings → TemplatesOpen Templates

Smaller additions

A few more conveniences arrived alongside these.

  • Custom progress names per entry, such as “quests” instead of “tasks”.
  • Arrange collections in the order you like, and delete a collection even when it still has entries.
  • Add tasks adds several tasks at once, in checklists and the note editor toolbar.
  • A short opening animation the first time you open the app each day. Click or press any key to skip it.

Improvements

Setting resets

Every setting has its own reset button and a Changed marker when it differs from the default. Resetting never touches your entries or notes.

Where: SettingsOpen Settings

Live collection search

Results update as you type without reloading the page, and keep your status, label and sort filters. Press Enter to search straight away.

Where: Any collection → Search

Collection banners

Banners are larger and framed, with the title, icon and accent set into the artwork. Collections without a banner keep a compact header.

Where: Any collection with a banner

A tighter Home

Home is more compact. The cover fan keeps square and portrait covers in shape, fits its column on every screen size and lifts more smoothly on hover.

Where: HomeGo Home

Heading colors

Heading colors follow the theme until you pick your own, and custom fonts and heading colors are kept when you switch themes.
