Note
This is the same update on mobile v5.4.0
This update would solve this issue: Odd searching issue when searching for text
The app had been using the language-dependent tokenization processes called Porter stemming algorithm and a Japanese-specific segmentation algorithm. In some cases, they cause some odd searching issue, where you can't find notes with particular keywords.
I recently found that SQLite3 officially supports the trigram tokenizer.
I managed to migrate to it. Now, you can use any languages including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc., in your notes!
Also, it fully supports partial matching, so it is optimal for searching code snippets.
For example, it can properly find a note with a code fragment like "er } = require(".
As you can see in the above screenshot, it now can highlight matched keywords in the note list, which would help you more quickly find your desired note.
I'm so excited to announce that Inkdrop has got a new theming system!
I've been working on refactoring the app's theming system to make it easier to customize and maintain for future versions. The UI components were originally from Semantic UI, and Inkdrop has relied on its well-designed theming system based on LESS, an alternative stylesheet language with some extended syntaxes like variables.
However, modern CSS now supports a lot of features that LESS has provided, such as CSS variables and CSS nesting. Moreover, CSS supports cascade layers, which allow you to control the specificity and order of rule sets across stylesheets. They would be very useful for theming in Inkdrop.
The main issue was that Semantic UI themes include everything from resets and layouts to buttons, dropdowns, and menus. This is because Semantic UI's theming architecture wasn't designed to be dynamically loaded or switched. This limitation has prevented me from adding new UI components and updating current designs. Also, it was hard to understand the LESS-based theming architecture for contributors, including Gulp tasks for building it.
The new theming system is much simpler. All you have to do is customize CSS variables. No pre-compilations needed. For example, here is a part of the new Solarized Dark UI theme:
:root {
--primary-color: hsl(var(--hsl-blue-500) / 90%);
--input-background: var(--color-bg);
--page-background: var(--color-bg);
--text-color: hsl(var(--hsl-fg));
--link-hover-color: var(--color-blue-300);
--sidebar-background: var(--color-bg);
--note-list-bar-background: hsl(var(--hsl-bg-muted-highlight));
--note-list-bar-border-right: 1px solid hsl(var(--hsl-base02));
}Instead of using LESS variables to let you customize component styles, the app now refers to these CSS variables to apply customizations on top of the default styles with CSS cascading layers. This way, I can safely change the existing styles and add new components without making breaking changes to the existing themes. If I were to add new components, I could define new CSS variables with fallback values, something like:
.new-component {
background: var(--new-component-background, var(--strong-transparent-black));
}If --new-component-background isn't defined in your theme, it automatically falls back to --strong-transparent-block. Neat.
Please check out the updated guide on how to create a theme here!
Since Electron started supporting the backgroundMaterial option for Windows, the acrylic effect has returned now!
However, there is a critical bug preventing it from working properly on frameless windows. To resolve this, I had to add a system window title bar, but it actually doesn't look so bad.
The default light and dark themes support the acrylic translucent background out of the box, so Vibrant Dark UI will be deprecated soon.
Check out the documentation on how to make your theme support the acrylic background mode.
Users have been requesting more themes on the mobile app (1, 2, 3).
I've been exploring a way to port custom themes to the mobile version.
Previously, this was impossible since the mobile app is built with React Native, where CSS can't be simply applied to the UI components.
But as the new theming system relies on the CSS variables, you can now generate a JSON file from the theme.
You can simply run the generate-palette command in the theme repository.
Check out the documentation for more details.
It still needs more work though, I can't wait to bring your themes into the mobile app!
I've rewritten the default UI themes for migrating to the new theming system. Here are what they look like now:
They also support the acrylic background! I love them.
I hope you like them!
While the app still has a backward-compatibility for the old UI themes, I would strongly encourage the theme creators to update their UI themes, or they will eventually be broken since I'm planning to add new features with new UI components. So, please check out the updated guide in the docs.
If you have any questions, feel free to post questions on the "Developers & API" category on the user forum here.

2024-05-01
The 'Readable line length' option was introduced on v5.8.0. But, this option made the existing users so confused as they reported on the forum (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Then, Shimizu-san suggested that it'd be nice not to enable this option by default and I agreed.
I learned that, even if it's a popular feature on other note apps, changing the default behavior would make the existing users confused. I'll be more careful when changing the default behavior next time.
Sorry for the confusion!
In v5.8.1, the app would solve the following issue by embedding the default preview theme:
- GFM Alerts not working on community preview themes (Thanks Kentaro and taichi
The problem is that themes have to provide every style, which requires to update when the app gets a new feature with a stylesheet. Since we can't expect every theme developer to sustainably and quickly update their themes, it'd be nice to have the default styles instead of requiring the themes to include every style. So, from this version, themes basically 'override' the default theme.
https://github.com/inkdropapp/inkdrop-github-preview-theme
The default preview theme github-preview now doesn't apply any styles. If you create a new preview theme, you only have to add styles for customizations.
This way, the existing preview themes can continue working without updating, like GFM Alerts.
In the future, I'll make the same change to the UI themes.
- Wrong icon in 'Apps and Features' list on Windows (Thanks Dmitry)
- Scroll positions get reset when changing the layout (Thanks Ivan)
- Random crashes when quitting Inkdrop on Windows (Thanks Patrick)
- The 'Create' button does nothing on the Paste URL as Link dialog (Thanks Patrick)
- Duplicate menu items in the Trash notebook (Thanks Dmitry)
- dev-tools: Copy tag id from sidebar throws an error (Thanks Lukas)
The default preview theme was outdated, so it has been updated based on this reopsitory. This also fixes the task list identation issue (Thanks Dmitry).
While working on simplifying theming the Markdown preview styles mentioned above, I thought it'd be nice to support applying the current syntax theme to the codeblocks in the preview pane automatically. It allows you to avoid making another preview theme just for changing the codeblock syntax highlighting styles.
For example: Solarized Dark
Solarized Light:
The Markdown renderer now adds a class name .codeblock to the enclosing div elements of the codeblocks. So, it is easy to add styles to them just by adding a CSS selector .mde-preview .codeblock pre to your stylesheet like so:
diff --git a/styles/index.css b/styles/index.css
index 14ae539..3f6bcbb 100644
--- a/styles/index.css
+++ b/styles/index.css
@@ -26,7 +26,8 @@ http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/img/solarized-palette.png
--base-magenta: #d33682;
/* Color scheme for code-mirror */
- .CodeMirror {
+ .CodeMirror,
+ .mde-preview .codeblock pre {
color-scheme: dark;
color: var(--base05);
.cm-header {
color: var(--base-yellow);
}
Check out Solarized Dark Syntax for more detail.
The setting items have been organized and it has got much easier to find and change settings.
And the Plugins page has got a filter input:
The "Paste URL as link" feature sends a request to the remote server when pasting a URL, which would be an unwanted behavior for some people (Thanks Ryota). Now, you can disable it via:
- Preferences -> Editing -> Markdown -> Paste URL as link
For example, when you type [link title](| (| is the cursor position) and hit Cmd/Ctrl-V, it shouldn't trigger the paste-as-link dialog.
I've made a lot of changes in theming mentioned above. To accomplish that, it now adopts Cascade layers. It would make theming much simpler. They allow themes to avoid rule specificity issues. Inkdrop will bundle more default styles in the future versions, and with cascade layers, custom themes will only need to override the default styles rather than including every style.
UI, syntax, and preview themes are automatically enclosed with the corresponding cascade layer in v5.8.1. The order of precedence is defined as the following at the moment:
@layer reset, base, tokens, theme, theme.ui, theme.preview, theme.syntax;
reset: Reset stylesbase: The app base stylestokens: CSS common variablestheme.ui: UI themetheme.preview: Preview themetheme.syntax: Syntax theme
2024-04-03
I'm excited to announce v5.8.0, which has got so many improvements and new features! Thank you for giving me feedback during the beta testing :D
v5.8.0 works much more efficiently in connecting your notes.
If you connect your notes with internal links, you may want this feature. You've got a metadata panel at the top of the preview pane, which displays the note information including backlinks:
Backlinks are the notes linked to the current note. If another note has a link to the current note, it appears in the backlinks section. With backlinks, you can quickly jump around related notes.
If you are used to writing Wiki, do you know Inkdrop supports creating placeholder links? It is simple. Just write a link without an URI!
- [Link title]()
Then, click it on the preview pane and it will create a new note with the title. As of v5.8.0, it automatically updates link titles in the note when you change the note title.
When debugging a bug, you sometimes find another issue to solve as your investigation goes deeper. You already took some notes on the new issue. Inkdrop doesn't block your concentration by allowing you to create a new note from the selection.
First, select the text and right-click it on the editor:
A dialog shows up, then input a note title:
Hit Enter, and you get a new note with the selected text.
As you can see, you already have a backlink from the source note. You can click it to go back.
The selected text is replaced with a link to the new note.
- New command:
core:new-note-from-selection
When writing a note while referring to other notes, it was frustrating to always get the cursor and scroll positions to be reset when going back to the note. In order to help you work with multiple notes efficiently, v5.8.0 now remembers the cursor and scroll positions in the navigation history.
In the above example, when clicking a backlink, the cursor position is already where the new link is created.
The tag labels on the note list allow you to click to filter by a tag, which is handy to quickly narrow down to a specific topic on the list. By design, it was using the full-text search feature internally, which always changed the sort order to 'Best match'. It looked strange as you just intended to filter the current notes, but not to search with keywords, so the list sort order should be preserved. As of v5.8.0, it now properly preserves the sort order when filtering by a tag.
For example, some notes are tagged with 'v5.8.0'. Currently, the note list displays all the notes in a workspace of the notebook 'Inkdrop', ordered by last modification dates in descending order. You want to filter notes by the tag by clicking it on the note list item.
Then, the note list displays only notes with the tag 'v5.8.0'. Before, it changed the order to 'Best Match'. As of v5.8.0, it preserves the sort order, which is the last modification date in the descending order in this example.
You can of course change the order from the dropdown menu on the note list header bar anytime.
When you are checking notes in the 'All Notes' on the sidebar, you may feel like quickly jumping into a workspace view of the viewing note. You could open a notebook but it now also lets you go to the workspace view from the context menu of the notebook dropdown menu on the editor:
But what about nested notebooks? Let's say, you see a note in the child notebook, but you want to go to the workspace of the parent notebook. No worries. After selecting the 'Go to Workspace' context menu, the focus moves to the sidebar. Then, you can hit Backspace to go up to the parent workspace.
It is helpful to quickly switch between projects.
- New commands:
editor:go-to-workspace-of-editing-notecore:sidebar-workspace-go-up
Recently, GitHub officially supports Alerts. It is a simple extension of Markdown, which allows you to insert 'alerts' a.k.a. admonitions or callouts. For example:
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This is currently a work in progress, expect things to be broken!
Inkdrop now supports these alerts, too!
You don't have to remember the syntax. The editor toolbar has got a button for alerts here.
- New commands:
core:insert-alert-notecore:insert-alert-tipcore:insert-alert-importantcore:insert-alert-warningcore:insert-alert-caution
Links are crucial for tech note-taking since you often need to refer to external information from your notes.
I've been using John's paste-url plugin to paste URLs as a Markdown link. In this release, I'm happy that it is now officially supported!
For example, you are referring to a bug report on the GitHub repository and you'd like to mention it in your note. You can copy the URL from the browser and paste it in the editor, then a dialog shows up:
The app automatically fetches the page title of the given URL. You can choose a link format with up/down arrow keys. It can correctly extract the page title even if the website doesn't support server-side rendering, which is nice.
I wanted to improve a small but fundamental thing - focus indicators. Since some input components like buttons and the search bar didn't have proper focus outlines, you couldn't tell where the current focus is. This improvement makes you a bit more comfortable to press Tab to move focus around.
The tag colors were too vibrant when you were on the dark UI theme. As a big fan of using tags, I wanted to make them look more unified for it.
This option limits the maximum width of the editor and preview panes to prevent excessively long lines of text. Enabled by default.

Managed to make it 500-700ms faster 🚀
Here is a demo:
✍️ STORY: How I made Inkdrop 500ms faster to launch🚀
Along with v5.6.0, some plugins have been updated with performance improvements as well. mermaid and math load their modules only when you open a note that uses one of them. It would keep the launch speed fast even if you installed plugins that require massive modules like them.
v5.6.0 has upgraded Remark and Rehype packages to the latest versions. It isn't only an internal improvement but also gives you more possibilities to get useful features. It now has mdast and hast data in the preview state, which allows to add syntax-aware features like outline views more easily without relying on regular expressions.
✍️ STORY: Refactoring the extensible Markdown renderer 🛠️
On the other hand, it may cause some plugins not working due to the breaking changes. For plugin developers, I'll post another topic to help you update your plugins.
Plugins are useful but it'd be a burden to explore and decide which plugins to install for light users. I wanted to make the app just work out of the box. As a starter, paste-as-markdown is now bundled into the app by default. It allows you to paste HTML as Markdown from the clipboard. It'd be useful for copy-and-pasting formatted texts from browsers.
I'm planning to bundle Mermaid, GitHub Emoji, and Math plugins as well.
On [email protected], the module that the app used to support the acrylic window style no longer works, unfortunately. The good news is that Electron itself officially supports the acrylic style for Windows:
The bad news is that it is not stable and working as expected – It doesn't work with frameless windows, besides, it becomes unresizable and loses shadows. So, unfortunately, the acrylic window style is not supported on Windows in this release.
In previous versions, pressing the "Detail" button on the notebook would take you to the workspace view, but you couldn't press the "Detail" button again once you were in that view. In this update, the "Detail" button is now functional within the workspace view as well!
The sidebar now displays the path of the current and parent notebooks:
You can more quickly choose a notebook :D
I've been working on redesigning the documentation and the new API documentation is now available as WIP.
https://developers.inkdrop.app/
The design is heavily inspired by Stripe, built on top of Tailwind UI. It supports full-text search now. There are still many missing pages and broken links though, your help to improve the doc would be greatly appreciated. It will be more comprehensive and easy to understand and I hope you like it :D
I'll be working on creating a new user manual as well!

You've got big updates that would significantly improve your workflow 💪
It allows other programs to access your data in your computer via a simple HTTP API. Why is it awesome? See below..
With the local REST API endpoint enabled, it gives a lot of possibilities to integrate Inkdrop with the existing productivity tools like Alfred! Alfred is the powerful alternative to Spotlight on macOS. By integrating Inkdrop and Alfred, you can instantly search your notes from Alfred.
Another benefit of having the local REST endpoint is the web clipper. It lets you save any web page off the internet to your Inkdrop database in Markdown so you can read or edit it later, while synchronizing it securely via the end-to-end encryption. The browser extensions are available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox!
Inkdrop sometimes automatically resolves note conflicts but it could cause unwanted results in some cases. In this update, it provides a dedicated UI for resolving the note conflicts.
