    A button in Settings to install the PopClip extension faster

    Checklist notes with interactive tasks and visible completion progress

v1.3.5FIX

Checklist and editor polish

A cleanup release focused on reliability: task lists now keep their state, formatting controls behave more predictably, and list editing feels less frustrating.

    Formatting toolbar actions now apply reliably on repeated single clicks
  • •
    Double-clicking formatting controls no longer collapses the note by accident
  • •
    Bullet, numbered, and task lists now exit list mode when you press Enter on an empty item

More control over capture and layout

This update made Noticky more flexible: you can choose where Quick Capture appears, define default note styling, and customize layout shortcuts without colliding with macOS screenshot keys.

    Pick any corner for Quick Capture, or disable it completely
  • ✦
    Set a default font and size for every new note
  • ✦
    Customize layout shortcuts for Free, Stack, and Tile modes

    Reorder notes in Stack and Tile layouts by dragging them

Fixed

    Visual tearing during collapse and expand in Modern Design

    General stability improvements around fold animations and editor startup
v1.1.1UPDATE

Onboarding and shortcut control

Added

    A 4-step onboarding flow for new users
  • ✦
    A configurable New Note shortcut in Preferences

Fixed

  • •
    Onboarding window closing right after launch

    New notes opening too small and clipping the formatting toolbar
  • •
