Keepsake 0.12: tags, batch select, and smarter notes

06 March 2026 · Nicolas Croce #changelog#product#organization#crm

Every time you use a tool, there’s friction. Tiny unnecessary gestures. One extra click, a piece of info to re-enter, a tag forgotten.

Individually, it’s nothing. But multiply that by 20, 50, 100 times a week, and it adds up. Worse: it slows you down exactly when you have an idea to capture, a task to log, a piece of information to file.

Keepsake 0.12 tackles those frictions. No visual revolution — but improvements that change how you interact with the app every day.

Tags in one click, everywhere

Before, to add a tag to a task or an entry, you had to use the #tag# syntax in the text. It worked, but it wasn’t very intuitive. (If you’re new to tags and pages in Keepsake, this page explains the concept.)

Now, a tag selector is available in every creation and editing form — tasks, entries, notes. Click, pick, done.

And when you edit a task or entry directly in the list (quick edit mode), the tag selector is right there too. No need to open a separate form.

The contact and tag badges under your items update instantly. You see the result of your changes in real time.

Batch select in the Inbox

If you have 15 notes to process, doing them one by one is tedious.

You can now select multiple notes at once in your Inbox. Checkboxes appear, and a floating action bar shows up at the bottom of the screen.

What you can do in a single action across the entire selection:

Copy the content
Merge several notes into one
Pin or unpin
Add a tag or contact to all selected notes
Convert to tasks
Delete

A “Select all” button lets you process your entire Inbox in one click. Perfect for your Sunday evening or Friday morning triage sessions.

Your notes never lose anything

Three improvements that change how comfortable writing feels:

Auto-save. As soon as you start typing a new note, it’s saved. If your browser crashes, if you accidentally close the tab, if your connection drops — your text is there.

Contacts and tags from the start. Before you even write a word, you can link a contact or a tag to your note from the bar under the input field. By the time you start writing, everything is already organized.

Quick capture bar in focus mode. You’re deep into a long note in full-screen mode and an unrelated thought pops up? The quick note bar is always accessible at the top. Capture the idea on the fly, then get back to your writing.

Convert notes without losing context

You took a quick note with a contact mentioned and a tag attached. Later, you decide to turn it into a task.

Before, contacts and tags were lost in the conversion. You had to add them back manually.

Not anymore. When you convert a note into a task or entry, the mentioned contacts and associated tags are preserved. Everything follows.

T+ASAP and T+? for your tasks

You may know the T+3 syntax to create a task in 3 days directly from the quick note bar. Two new shortcuts join the family:

T+ASAP: creates a priority task with no fixed date — for things to handle as soon as possible
T+?: creates a “someday maybe” task — for ideas to keep without pressure

Concrete examples:

Reply to Marie's proposal T+ASAP → priority task, no fixed date
Read the book Paul recommended T+? → in the “someday” list, no pressure

Clickable @mentions and companies

Contact @mentions are now clickable everywhere in the app. In a note, a task, an entry — click a name and you go straight to their profile.

And when you type @, your companies now appear in the suggestions too, alongside your contacts. An @Synapse Technologies takes you to the company profile.

Fixes

Text formatting shortcuts (strikethrough, highlight) now work on Safari
Entries added on the same day are displayed in the correct chronological order
Using the quick note bar while writing an entry no longer causes your text to disappear
Unchecking a task during the 5-second countdown now works correctly

Everything is already live. Open Keepsake and try it.

If you don’t have an account yet, the trial is free for 7 days — and all these features are available from day one.

And as always, if you have a question or suggestion, reach out at support@keepsake.place.
