A real mobile home screen with quick capture, a flat notes list by default, and a mobile layout that respects your device's edges.
1 August 2026
This release is about WanderNotes on your phone. Opening the app on mobile used to drop you into a list of things you'd already written; now it drops you into a place to write. Notes are easier to scan, folders are easier to manage with a thumb, and the layout stops fighting the notch and home indicator.
A mobile home screen built for capturing, not browsing. Signing in on your phone now greets you by name and puts a capture box front and centre. Type whatever's on your mind and choose what it becomes: Note saves it as a note — first line as the title, the rest as the body — and opens it for editing, while Ask carries your text straight into a new conversation as the draft message, ready to send. Below that, two one-tap actions start an empty note or an empty conversation. No more scrolling a home screen to find the button that starts something new.
A flat notes list, on by default. The notes tab now opens as a chronological list, newest edit first, with a search field at the top that matches both titles and note contents as you type. Each row shows a two-line preview, when you last touched it, and the folder it lives in. The folder tree is still one tap away in the header if that's how you think about your notes — and whichever view you pick is remembered.
Folder management from the notes tab. Every folder in the tree view now carries its own menu: add a note inside it, add a subfolder, rename it, move it elsewhere, or delete it. Renaming happens in a proper dialog instead of an inline field that a mobile keyboard would cover, and moving a folder won't let you drop it inside itself or its own children.
The mobile layout respects your device's edges. Safe-area insets are now handled once by the mobile shell rather than page by page, so headers and content no longer sit under the notch, the status bar, or a rounded corner. Full-screen editors are exempt on purpose — they place their own insets so they can stay edge to edge.
Bigger targets in mobile headers. The action icons across the notes and conversations headers, and the conversation search field, were sized up for thumbs instead of cursors.
Empty states that do something. An empty notes list or conversations list now offers a button to create the first one, and an empty search result says "no matching notes" rather than implying you have none at all.
Quieter search results. The notes section of global search now hides itself entirely when there's nothing to show, instead of leaving an empty heading behind.
