Write straight into a collector, and an open-only tags dashboard

Collectors take new notes where you read them, and the tags dashboard shows what’s still open.

Added

  • Every open collector ends in a line for a new note. What you write there picks up the collector's filter, so it lands in that collector.
  • The tags dashboard has one open-or-done filter for every tag at once. While it's on, tags with nothing to show step aside.
  • One button collapses or expands every collector on a dashboard.

Improved

  • Click anywhere on a dashboard collector to fold it, with a mouse as well as a finger.
  • Down arrow from a collector's last note moves into its new-note line, and Tab there nests under that note.
  • A Done chip on a new note can be removed before you post it.

Fixed

  • Going back to the dashboard from a note you opened lands at the top, not part way down.
  • Swiping to clear one new note no longer clears the others.
  • A cleared Done chip no longer carries into your next note.
  • Pressing Enter on a new note that holds only its search term creates nothing.

Tags you can type on Android, and clips in Help

Android keyboards keep up, and Help shows you how.

Added

  • On your phone, Help shows short clips of adding, nesting, tagging, searching and saving collectors.

Improved

  • Search keeps your notes on screen while it finds the first word you type.
  • Bigger camera and paperclip buttons on a new note, and a notice if a photo or file can't be added.

Fixed

  • On Android, typing a tag into the filter bar suggests it, and deleting what you typed no longer removes the filter's tags.
  • On Android, what you type in any box counts straight away, before you finish the word.
  • Filter only, from a tag's menu, filters just the pane you're in.

See your photos before you post, and finish a whole list at once

Your photos look right before you post them, and done means done all the way down.

Improved

  • Photos you take while writing show just as they'll look once posted, with the tags they'll carry. Tap one to see it full screen.
  • After taking a photo, the keyboard is up and ready for a caption.
  • Completing a note marks everything under it as done too, in your outline and on the Gantt chart. Reopen it and they're back as they were.
  • Clearer indent and outdent buttons above the keyboard.

Fixed

  • On iPhone, a photo you've just taken shows as a picture on your note, not just its file name.
  • The ✕ in the filter bar clears every filter, not just tags.
  • The auto-post countdown no longer runs through the indent marker on a new note.

Link previews, a tags dashboard, and auto-tags you can see

Links read like what they point to, and every tag has a home.

Added

  • A tags dashboard: the new # tab, left of your first dashboard, shows each of your tags with its notes.
  • Link previews show the site's icon, including on links you saved before.

Improved

  • Link previews lead with the page title, and long links show as a short, readable address until you edit them.
  • Images in notes show at their real shape, and tapping one opens it full screen.
  • Photos and files you add while writing wait on the note until you post it, with what you typed as their caption.
  • Locked tags now sit right after what you're typing, as faded tags the new note will carry. Tap + to add another.
  • Your default dashboard is simply whichever comes first.

Fixed

  • Tapping a tag to filter your notes no longer opens the tag menu too.

Reductable 1.2.26

v1.2.26

Updates get out of your way.

Added

  • Assistants connected to the desktop app can now search, open, edit, move and delete notes.

Improved

  • Update notices are easier to read, and everyday updates install quietly the next time Reductable starts instead of asking.
  • Installing a desktop update no longer offers a second update straight after the restart.
  • Home lists your notes in the order you created them.

Fixed

  • Pressing Enter at the end of a note on Home adds a child under it, and splitting a top-level note keeps the note and its tags.
  • Dragging a note stays in the pane you started in, and dropping it at the top level keeps it on its own date.

Reductable 1.2.24

v1.2.24

Bringing a new device into your account takes one link.

Added

  • Add a new device with one link: a fresh install shows a QR code and link, and opening it on a device you already use brings the new one into your account. No more typing 24 words.

Fixed

  • Installing a desktop update no longer collides with one still downloading in the background.

Reductable 1.2.20

v1.2.20

Your devices find each other in more places.

Improved

  • A device that only reaches home from outside your network can now find your other devices — paste your own connection code into it.

Reductable 1.2.18

v1.2.18

The desktop app keeps itself current from here on.

Added

  • The desktop app now updates itself — new versions download in the background and install with one click.

Reductable 1.2.10 — the first public release

v1.2.10

The first public release, and the whole idea made real: a place for every thought that lives on your devices and stays yours. Buy it once, use it everywhere, own it forever. No account to create, no server watching over your shoulder, no subscription keeping it alive. Just your notes, on your machines, under your control.

Added

  • The infinite, self-sorting outline — type as fast as you think and watch thoughts stack, nest, and reorder themselves.
  • Peer-to-peer sync across your own devices over your local network — no account, no server, nothing in the middle.
  • Full-text search across every node, tag, and nested branch — instant and fully offline.
  • Own it forever — one purchase unlocks every platform (macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS & Android) on unlimited devices.
  • A generous free tier — build out your own outline with no account and no card, and the app never goes read-only. One purchase unlocks unlimited nodes.
  • An offline signed license — the app verifies it on-device and works fully offline. No tracking, no phone-home.
