Releases
What shipped, and when.
Every Harbor release on every platform, newest first. Harbor's apps update on their own schedules — the Mac App Store waits on review, the Web Clipper waits on four of them — so the version numbers here rarely line up, and that's on purpose.
Change the size of text
- A size button in the toolbar — Select text and pick Tiny, Small, Default, Large or Huge. Only that text changes.
- Guide lines for lists — Turn on "Show list guide lines" in Settings, under Preferences, to see which list items belong together.
Guide lines for nested lists
- Show list guide lines — A faint line beside nested items shows which item they belong to. Turn it on in Settings › Preferences › Editor.
Search, the same everywhere
- Search words work everywhere — tag:, notebook: and dates now work in every search, saved search and shortcut, and on the Mac when you are offline.
- Curly quotes count as quotes — A search for “like this” finds the exact phrase.
- Apps and scripts that use the Harbor API can now put hidden labels on your notes, notebooks and stacks. Harbor keeps them on your phone, and search can find notes by them, even with no signal.
- Find notes by their metadata. Apps and scripts that use the Harbor API can attach hidden labels to notes, notebooks and stacks. Harbor now keeps them, and
meta:gallery=truein search finds the notes that carry them, even offline.

Search, the same everywhere
- Search words work everywhere — tag:, notebook: and dates now work in every search, saved search and shortcut, and on the Mac when you are offline.
- Curly quotes count as quotes — A search for “like this” finds the exact phrase.
- For developers: notes, notebooks and stacks can now carry hidden metadata — a small set of labels your scripts and integrations set through the API. Harbor never shows it or acts on it, and syncing from any device never erases it.
- Find notes by their metadata in search with
meta:, for examplemeta:gallery=trueor-meta:archived. It works in the web app’s offline search too.
See the letter you are on
- The A–Z letter lights up while you drag — Drag a tag over the letters on the Tags screen and the letter under your pointer lights up. The card you drag now sits to the left, so it no longer hides the letter.
Search got smarter, and it works offline.
Use tag:work or notebook:recipes to narrow a search. Put a minus sign in front of a word, like -draft, to leave it out. Search by date with created: and updated:, and use “quotes” for an exact phrase.
Search now finds other forms of a word, so “plan” finds “plans”. It also finds notes by their tag names.
Smarter search
- Word forms — "plan" finds "Vacation Plans"
- Tags — search finds notes by their tag names
- Faster — filter searches are almost instant
Jump through your tags
- Drag a tag onto the A–Z letters — On the Tags screen, drag a tag over a letter at the right and the list jumps to that letter. Let go on the letters to cancel.
- Search works the same offline — Search words like tag:, notebook: and dates give the same results when you are offline.
- Search no longer shows files you have deleted, on the web or offline.
- Files attached to encrypted notes never show up in offline search.
- Tag words always match, and
intitle:searches only note titles, not files. - Curly “smart” quotes work the same as straight quotes in search.
- An empty quoted phrase matches nothing, and a quoted operator name like “tag:” is searched as plain text.
- Colour in code blocks, with a language picker in each block.
- Add YouTube videos to a note and play them right there.
- Type # while you write to add a tag, or : to add an emoji. There is also a new emoji picker.
- Jump straight to a notebook, stack or tag from quick search.
- Simpler reminders: pick a time, and the day comes from the task’s due date. A repeating task now says how it repeats.
- Web clips no longer show a second scrollbar.
- Editing a note no longer drops settings on embedded content, such as its size and alignment.
- Mac: optional counts next to Tasks, Templates and Files. All sidebar settings are now in Settings › Sidebar.

Default notebook, one setting
- Settings and the sidebar star now agree — Pick a default notebook in Settings and the star moves to it. New notes go there, the same as on the web.
- Your default notebook is one setting now. Pick a default notebook in Settings and the star in the sidebar moves to it. Star a notebook in the sidebar and Settings shows it. It works offline too, and if the change cannot be saved, Harbor tells you why and puts the star back.
- Changing your default notebook in Settings now works. New notes, templates, and forwarded email all go to the notebook you pick.
Tag as you type
- Inline tags — type # in a note to add a tag without leaving the sentence
- Emoji — pick one from the / menu or type a :shortcode
- Ctrl+K — jump to any notebook, stack or tag
Type #tag right in a note and it becomes a tag.
New emoji picker. Type : and a word, like :smile, to pick an emoji as you write.
Code blocks now show in color. Pasting an image into a note now puts it in the note. You can also jump to a notebook, stack or tag straight from search.
