Keepsake 0.13: sections, archives, and custom pages
The more you use a tool, the more it accumulates. Tasks, notes, contacts. And the more it accumulates, the more you need structure to keep from drowning in it.
Keepsake 0.13 gives you that structure. Sections to organize your tasks, archives to declutter your Inbox, colors and icons to identify your pages at a glance — and a complete overhaul of task editing.
Archives: clean up your Inbox without losing anything
Your Inbox is made for fast capture. But if you never delete anything, it turns into a swamp.
The problem: deleting is permanent. And sometimes, you’re not sure you want to lose a note.
Keepsake 0.13 adds archives. In one gesture, move a note out of your Inbox — without deleting it. It goes to a dedicated view where you can find it, search it, filter it.
And if you change your mind, one click brings it back to the Inbox.
The idea: your Inbox is a temporary holding space. Regularly, you sort through the notes you captured during the day. Either you turn them into tasks or entries, or you archive them.
Your archives become your personal knowledge base. You’ll find all the notes you want to keep (ideas, recipes, quotes, etc.), all linked with contacts or tags to always maintain context and easily find what you’re looking for.
An example to make it concrete
You’re at a friend’s place, and you quickly jot down, via QuickNote, the chocolate cake recipe you just tasted and loved.
That evening, back home, you find this recipe in your Inbox.
You link the note to your friend, so you remember she’s the one who gave it to you, add the “Recipe” tag, then archive your note.
It disappears from your Inbox, so it’s no longer cluttered, but you can find it:
- In your archives,
- On your friend’s contact page, and
- On the Recipe tag page
You can of course add multiple tags to the same note. Why not Recipe + Dessert + Chocolate. You can then group all your recipes on one page, all your desserts on another, everything related to chocolate on a third.
And on the Chocolate page, you’ll have your recipe, but you can also add people (who do you think of when you think chocolate?), companies (the best chocolate shop in town?), other notes (an anecdote, a quote about chocolate, a historical fact about chocolate…).
Little by little, information aggregates. Maybe one day that passion for chocolate will turn into an article, or even a book… You’ll have everything at hand, in Keepsake.
Sections: organize your tasks visually
Your task lists on a page were getting long? You can now break them into sections.
Create headers like “To Do”, “In Progress” or “Waiting”. Each section is collapsible — empty sections collapse automatically and move to the bottom of the page to stay out of the way.
You can rearrange tasks between sections with drag and drop. And each section can have a description to clarify its purpose.
It’s like a mini-kanban, but naturally integrated into your Keepsake pages.
Custom pages: colors and icons
Your pages (tags) are at the heart of organization in Keepsake. But when you have 10, 15, 20 of them in the sidebar, they all look the same.
Now, you can assign a color and an icon to each page. The color shows up in the sidebar and on tag badges throughout the app. The icon provides instant visual identification.
Result: you spot your pages at a glance, without reading the text.
Edit tasks without leaving the list
Before, editing a task meant opening a separate form. One more click, a context switch, a micro-interruption.
That’s over. Click a task: it opens directly in the list. Edit the title, the description, and an action bar appears with everything you need — date, recurrence, delete, collapse.
The date picker offers smart shortcuts: Today, Tomorrow, Next week, ASAP. One click and you’re done.
When you click elsewhere or open another task, saving is automatic. No “Save” button, no friction.
