Harbor

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.

  1. New in this update:

    • Standard Notes import — bring your notes, tags and attachments over from Standard Notes, with the option to encrypt everything as it comes in. • Markdown export — export your whole account as Markdown, or download any single note as a Markdown file. • Clear account — empty an account without deleting it, on Mac and on iPhone & iPad. • Files, rebuilt — an upload button, true totals, grid and list views, filters, and a details panel with a preview, file info, and which notes each file appears in. • Copy a note’s ID straight from the Info panel. • Find notebooks — search your notebooks on iPhone and iPad.

    Also in this update: • Fixed images vanishing from a note the first time you edited it. • Text sizes and spacing on the Mac now match the rest of Harbor. • Arrow keys move the highlight in the note-link picker. • Notebook stacks keep their collapsed state through a rename. • The share confirmation now tells you when the note became public.

  2. Export as Markdown — your whole account, one notebook, or a single note. A new activity strip shows an export’s progress wherever you are in the app, and tells you when it’s ready to download.

    Import an Obsidian vault. Sketches can hold more than one page. New notes file into the notebook you’re viewing instead of Inbox. The move-to-notebook picker has search. Images in emailed notes render again.

    Plus a rebuilt sign-in, Clear account, and a note’s ID on the Info panel.

  3. Harbor now runs on more devices.

    • iPhone & iPad: Harbor now requires iOS 18 instead of iOS 26, so it installs on iPhone XR, XS and XS Max.
    • Mac: Harbor now requires macOS 15 instead of macOS 26, including Intel Macs back to 2018.

    Also in this update:

    • Tasks: one sort menu, five fields, and both sort directions.
    • Repeating tasks: “Last day of the month” is now available in custom recurrence.
    • Encryption: ⌘L locks your encrypted notes on macOS and iPadOS, saving the open editor first. Harbor also no longer offers encryption setup before your first sync has finished.
    • Watched folders: the “suggest a title” setting now applies on the Mac.
    • Fixed a crash when recording audio on a Mac with no microphone.
    • Fixed sync, the editor, and the idle lock getting stuck after the system clock moved backwards.
    • Notebooks on iPhone and iPad now list ungrouped notebooks first, then stacks, with Trash last.
    • Clearer messages when an attachment is too large for your plan, and clearer passkey errors.

  5. New

    • Standard Notes import — bring your notes, tags and attachments over from Standard Notes, with the option to encrypt everything as it comes in.
    • Markdown export — export your whole account as Markdown, or download any single note as a Markdown file.
    • Clear account — empty an account without deleting it.

    Fixed

    • Images no longer vanish from a note the first time you edit it.
    • Text sizes and spacing now match the rest of Harbor.
    • Arrow keys move the highlight in the note-link picker.
    • Notebook stacks keep their collapsed state through a rename.
    • The share confirmation now tells you when the note became public.
  6. Sign in with Apple, fixed

    • Sign in with Apple — The button opens Apple itself instead of Harbor's own sign-in page — the same fix Google got in the last release.
    • Two-factor authentication can send its codes by text message, not just email.
    • Export any note or notebook as Markdown — from the export screen, or straight from a note’s menu.
    • Accounts created with Google or Apple can now delete their account, change their email and set a password: the confirmation step no longer asks for a password they never had.
    • Sign in with Apple works from the Windows app.
    • Long lines, wide tables and large images no longer push a note’s body sideways.
    • The note menu lists Download PDF above Download Markdown.
  7. Sign in with Google, fixed

    • Sign in with Google — The button opens Google itself instead of Harbor's own sign-in page.
    • Sharing confirms itself — Making a note public, copying its link or making it private now tells you what happened.
    • Notes stay put — Long lines, wide tables and large images no longer push the note body sideways.
    • Files respects your plan — Uploads are checked before they start, and one the server keeps refusing can be cleared from the queue.
    • Import from Standard Notes: upload your backup and Harbor brings your notes across — encrypted notes can be re-encrypted with your Harbor passphrase on the way in.
    • A new “Clear account” option in Settings empties an account without deleting it — useful for starting fresh after a test import.
    • Settings now shows one clear storage panel: what’s on this device, what clearing the cache frees, and what removing the copy does.
    • “Learn more” links on the import screens for Evernote and Standard Notes.
    • Groundwork for exporting notes as Markdown. The export itself arrives in an upcoming release.
    • The same build as 1.0.23, re-released while we repaired our publishing pipeline. Nothing changed between the two.
    • No changes — a brief configuration test of our emergency-off switch for offline mode, turned back on within minutes.
    • Harbor now works offline. Write a new note, edit, tag, move, trash and restore notes, manage notebooks and tasks — all with no connection. Everything syncs itself when you’re back online.
    • Refreshing the page offline keeps you signed in instead of showing a login screen.
    • Files and images you’ve viewed open instantly and work offline; attaching a file offline now retries itself when you reconnect.
    • Switching notebooks is much faster, especially on large accounts.
    • If a note can’t save, Harbor now says so honestly, warns you before you close the tab, and retries when your connection returns.
    • Settings shows how much space Harbor uses on your device, with a switch to keep nothing on it at all.
  8. Harbor just got a few fixes

    • Your pictures stay in your notes — The editor was dropping plain images when it saved. They're kept now.
    • Emailed-in notes keep their pictures — Images the message points at are stored with the note.
    • Large exports open properly on macOS
    • Export links last an hour — Long enough to resume a big download that gets interrupted.
  9. A faster sidebar, this time in the browser. Harbor works out your note counts on your own device whenever it can, and it was doing far more work than it needed to. On large accounts that removes roughly two seconds of waiting every time the app opens.
  10. Faster sidebar on large accounts. The note counts shown beside your notebooks and tags are now worked out from a proper index instead of by re-reading the whole library. On the largest accounts that turns a twenty-second wait into well under a second, every time the app opens.
  11. What's new in Harbor

    • Obsidian import — bring a vault across — folders become notebooks and your [[links]] keep working
    • Table of contents — turn any selection of notes into one linked index
    • Public pages — links between published notes now work instead of being stripped out
    • Before you publish — Harbor tells you when a note links to ones that are still private
    • Faster note list — large accounts open quicker
  12. No notes written for this one — the version and the date are still worth publishing.

  13. What's new in Harbor

    • Templates — a default notebook, tags, and variables like date and title that fill themselves in
    • Repeating tasks — plain-English schedules and a next-due date
    • Word count — the editor preference now actually shows one
    • Note IDs — copy one from the Info panel for the CLI, API or MCP
    • Uploads — files that are too large or unsupported are refused before they upload
