v3.1.0September 5, 2026

More powerful snippets and a renewed Notebook

New

Duplicate a whole snippet

A new button in the Snippets editor creates a full copy (content, variants, and category) ready to edit, without copy-pasting by hand.

New

4 new variables for your snippets

`{{cursor}}` leaves the cursor at an exact point in the text after inserting, `{{clipboard}}` pastes whatever you have copied, `{{fecha:DD/MM/YYYY}}` lets you choose the date format, and `{{paragraph:Label}}` is like manual input but with room for several lines. Available in Snippets, Notebook, and the web Dashboard editor.

New

Open several links with Ctrl+click

In the popup's Links view, hold Ctrl and click the cards you want — they turn green and a bar appears to open them all at once in new tabs.

Improvement

Duplicate a variant in A/B/C snippets

A button next to "+" clones the active variant's content into a new one, instead of always starting blank — built for variants that are nearly the same text with small changes.

Improvement

Pasting a URL over selected text creates a hyperlink

In Snippets, Notes, and the Notebook, select a word or phrase and paste a copied link — that text becomes the link, just like in Google Docs or Notion.

Improvement

Reorganized Notebook toolbar

All buttons are now aligned in height, and can be dragged and reordered freely between the main bar and "More tools".

Improvement

Notebook Variables and A/B Variants are no longer hidden

They used to live behind an extra menu; now they're fixed, always-visible buttons in the editor's toolbar, just like in the popup.

Improvement

A single "Create" button in the Notebook, with Snippet as a new option

There used to be two fixed buttons ("Note" and "Link") taking up header space; now it's one dropdown menu that adds "Snippet" as a third option.

Improvement

Ctrl+C to copy in the Notebook

With a note, snippet, or link open in the editor, Ctrl+C copies the full content without hunting for a button.

Improvement

Quick links in "My Dashboard" and "Company Panel"

Both now expand as an accordion with direct links to specific sections, instead of a single click to the generic dashboard.

Improvement

Empty the trash without leaving the popup

From the Settings menu you can empty it instantly, with the same two-click confirmation as "Log out".

Improvement

Side panel now closer to feature parity with the popup

Notes and Links now have their own create button, the Category and Tag dropdowns use a floating panel instead of native menus, and the "All" tab adds a counter, sorting, and a tag filter.

Improvement

Ctrl+K and `//` with better search and the popup's design

They now tolerate typos while searching, and result cards use the same colors and animations as the popup and side panel.

Fix

The note preview in Ctrl+K and `//` showed undecoded symbols

` ` and other HTML entities showed up instead of a normal space.

Fix

The shortcut on `//` cards always displayed in uppercase

It now respects how you actually typed it, just like the popup.

Fix

"Note" in the Notebook's "+ Create" menu was nearly unreadable on hover

It showed solid blue background with black text; it now behaves like "Link" and "Snippet".

Fix

In the Links view, Enter or Ctrl+C could act on the wrong card

If your mouse sat still over a card while you typed in the search box, those keys used the old card instead of the one actually highlighted on screen.

v3.0.0August 28, 2026

Customizable side panel and more flexible reminders

New

Custom order in the side panel

Notes, Links and Snippets in the side panel now have the same sort selector the popup already had (Most used, Last used, A→Z, Most copied, etc.), and share the same preference — the order you pick on one side is reflected on the other.

New

Choose how long to snooze a reminder

The Snooze button on reminders now opens a small menu with 15 minutes, 1 hour, or tomorrow, instead of always snoozing for 15 minutes with no option. Works the same in the in-page toast and in the reminder window.

New

Redesigned // and Ctrl+K cards

The `//` and Ctrl+K quick search now show the same cards as the popup: a color accent bar per type (amber for snippets, green for links, blue for notes), content preview, and real favicons on links.

Improvement

Up to 3 keyboard shortcuts for your AI actions

Previously you could only assign one keyboard shortcut to an AI action; now you can set up several, each with its own combo (it warns you if one's already in use). Free keeps 1 shortcut; Pro and Teams can set up to 3.

Improvement

Random variants no longer repeat the last one used

"Random" A/B/C variant mode now avoids picking the same variant twice in a row, and works the same across all 4 ways to insert a snippet (direct shortcut, popup, `//`, and Ctrl+K) — before, `//` and Ctrl+K always inserted Variant A regardless of the configured mode.

Improvement

Variant badge in // and Ctrl+K

Snippets with A/B/C variants now show a small indicator in these search results, so it's no surprise when what gets inserted doesn't exactly match the preview.

Improvement

More visible AI Settings menus

"Persona / System Prompt", "Providers" and "Options" had very low contrast. They now have bolder text and highlight in blue when open.

Improvement

"Random Choice" block in the Macro Builder

Now built with a form inside the Notebook, instead of writing `{{random:...}}` by hand.

Improvement

Updated AI models

Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, xAI, Together AI and Cohere had default models their own providers had already retired. We updated all of them to current versions — if you already had one connected, it updates itself next time you use AI.

Fix

Signing out now also clears custom selectors and macros

They used to stay saved in the browser after signing out — if someone else signed in with a different account on the same browser, they'd inherit that data. Now it's cleared along with the rest of the account.

Fix

A/B/C variants could revert in the popup

If you created or deleted several variants in a row and closed the popup right away, only the first change was saved — the rest reverted to the previous state on reopen.

Fix

Copying a note lost its formatting

The copy button on notes (and Ctrl+C) pasted everything as plain text even if it had bold, italics, or lists. Fixed in the popup, side panel, Ctrl+K, and the floating post-it.

Fix

Reminder preview showed undecoded symbols

It showed ` ` and other codes instead of normal spaces, like garbled text. Now decoded correctly before showing it.

v2.8.7August 24, 2026

Keyboard shortcut for AI and Google login in Firefox

New

Keyboard shortcut for your favorite AI action

In the AI panel (Options section) you can now pick an inline toolbar action (Fix, Formal, Soften, Shorten, Summarize, Draft, or Translate) and assign it your own key combination. With text selected in any editable field on the web, pressing that combination applies the action directly, no need to click the icon or the button.

Improvement

Google login now works in Firefox

It used to be hidden because Google's consent window stole focus from the popup, and Firefox closed it mid-flow. The login now runs in the background (it survives even if the popup closes), and Google's window opens at a normal size instead of taking over the whole screen.

Fix

Heads-up when saving a link you already have

Until now you could save the same URL multiple times with no warning. When creating a new link from the popup, if that URL is already saved in the same space (personal/team), a notice shows the existing link's name with the option to save a copy anyway if you really want one.

v2.8.6August 19, 2026

Revamped quick search and a new look for Snippets folders

New

// and Ctrl+K search revamped

We took the reminder toast's style (gradient accent bar, icon badge, Inter font) so both search boxes look more polished and consistent with the rest of the extension.

New

// now opens upward when there's no room below

Before, if you typed near the bottom of the screen, the box could end up partially hidden. Now it calculates the real available space and, if needed, opens upward with the search field right above your cursor.

New

Snippets folders redesigned

Folders in the popup's Categories view now get the same card treatment as the rest of the extension (white background, subtle shadow, color stripe, hover lift) instead of a flat list. The "back to categories" row was also redesigned as a lightweight breadcrumb.

Improvement

Better-ranked // and Ctrl+K results

An exact shortcut match could show up below one that merely starts the same way — searching "xc" could show "xclonar" above a shortcut literally named "xc". Both search boxes now prioritize exact shortcut > shortcut starts with > shortcut contains > title, the same criteria already used by Notes, Links, Snippets and the Notebook.

Improvement

Image compression in the popup's Notes and Snippets

The Notebook already resized and compressed pasted images; Notes and Snippets in the popup now do the same (max 1600px, WebP) — a typical screenshot ends up 90-95% lighter with no visible quality loss.

Improvement

Custom category color/icon now shows up in Snippets too

If you customize a category's color or icon from the Notebook (right-click / double-click), it now shows up in the popup's Snippets folders too, instead of falling back to the automatic color.

Fix

Typing past the limit in a formatted note could wipe out everything at once

When you hit your plan's character limit, the editor used to replace the entire content with a plain-text version to trim the excess — discarding any bold text, tables, or images pasted anywhere in the note. Typing past the limit is now blocked before it happens, so formatting and images stay intact.

Fix

The popup's Settings menu showed your email instead of your name

The Notebook already showed your Google account name; the popup's Settings menu always showed the full email instead. Both now use the same logic.

Fix

Ctrl+K closed itself when clicking inside its own search box

Due to how the browser reports clicks inside the component, any click inside the search box was being reported the same as a click outside, and vice versa. It now closes only when it should.

Fix

Microsoft Edge's "leave a review" link went to the wrong place

It was a leftover placeholder from before we had the real listing ID on Edge Add-ons. It now points straight to NexoPad's listing.

v2.8.5August 17, 2026

Note editor revamp and Notebook search

New

Note editor redesign

Note editing in the popup has a new look: content editor in a floating card, category/vault/tags/shortcut as icon-and-color chips always visible (no more digging into "Advanced Properties"), and the Save bar now floats over the note instead of permanently covering it.

New

Character counter

Shows up near the bottom corner of the editor only as you approach your plan's limit (last 500 characters) — turning amber, then red — instead of surprising you out of nowhere with a limit-reached warning.

New

Find & replace inside a note, in the Notebook

Ctrl+F highlights every match in the open note and lets you jump between them with a counter ("3/12"); a small arrow expands a replace field to change text across the whole note at once. Ctrl+H opens the same finder already in replace mode.

Fix

Opening a note from the popup in the Notebook didn't highlight it in the list

The Notebook's note list loads 50 at a time (infinite scroll), so if the opened note was beyond the first batch, its card didn't exist yet and there was nothing to highlight. A real bug was also found along the way: each card's pin button was wired up without checking it existed, which in some cases broke the rest of the list from loading. The note now always gets highlighted and centered in view.

Fix

The Notebook "saved" every time you clicked between notes, even with no changes

Every click on a note card triggered a safety-net save meant to avoid losing pending edits from the previous note — but it fired every time, even with nothing to save. That safety save now only runs when there's genuinely something unsaved.

Fix

Lists pasted from another site lost their indentation

Copying a list from a page or an AI chat brings along the source's own styles, which overrode the editor's spacing and left the list flush against the edge. The editor now always keeps its own spacing regardless of where pasted content comes from.

Fix

The category could show a stale value when opening or creating a note

The visible category label only updated when picking one from the menu — opening a new note right after editing one with a different category could leave the old text showing. It now always syncs with the note's real value.

Fix

Reminders revealed a note's content even while the vault was PIN-locked

The PIN exists precisely so no one else can see your notes, but the reminder alert still showed the title and preview regardless of lock state. Now, if the vault is still locked, the alert is generic and reveals nothing.

Improvement

The AI icon's tooltip didn't warn that left- and right-click do different things

Inside an editable field, left-click opens a quick-actions bar and right-click opens the full panel — but the tooltip always said the same thing, and outside an editable field both clicks do the same thing anyway. The tooltip now adapts to the actual context of the selection.

Fix

Outdated Groq models

The default model was flagged by Groq as deprecated, and two others were found to have already been retired from production without us noticing. Replaced with Groq's current lineup.
