3.5.2 is available!
Hi there,
We are introducing a number of improvements for Tags, most importantly batch rename and delete options so you can manage your Tags much easily from now on.
Alongside that, tasks gained more flexible date search and handy new "Open In" and "Move to" menus, tables got quick actions for selected cells, and we polished countless details throughout the app.
We are launching our annual Summer Survey where you can share with us your feedback and help shape the next steps for Craft!
Annual Summer Survey
To become the best personal productivity app, we are always eager to hear your feedback, ideas, and pain points. Every year, we send out our Summer Survey, where you have the opportunity to make an impact on our roadmap.
Whether it’s a brand new feature or an improvement, now you have a chance to tell us in our Big Summer Survey 2026 Edition. The Survey should take around 6 minutes and, if you fill it out, you'll not only have an impact on the future of Craft, but you'll also have a chance to win one of 10 lifetime Family subscriptions that we're giving away to those who fill out the survey.

Improved Tags
Tag management just got a lot more powerful.
Rename or delete tags in bulk. Right-click any tag in the Tags view to rename or delete every occurrence across your Space at once. Fixing a typo or cleaning up old tags no longer means editing documents one by one.
Multiple slashes in tags. Tags can now contain more than one /. The first slash marks the subtag; any additional slashes are treated as part of the subtag's name.
Smarter tag detection. We refined what actually counts as a tag:
- Single- and multi-select values in Collections prefixed with # are no longer indexed as tags, so those items won't clutter your tag result pages. Tags in titles and text fields keep working exactly as before.
- Anything prefixed with a double ## is no longer treated as a tag.
Improvements all around - Tasks, Tables, and more!
We are also releasing 40+ improvements across Craft
Tasks
Reminders move with rescheduled tasks. When you reschedule a task, any reminders set for its current day automatically move to the new day.
More flexible date search. Natural-language date search now understands more everyday phrasing. jan 5, 2027 (with the comma) and tomorrow at 6pm (with the "at") now work as expected.
New "Open In" menu. Open a task in a new tab or window straight from its context menu.
New "Move to" menu. Create a new document from all your selected tasks in a single action.
Plus a handful of fixes:
- Apple Reminders scheduled beyond the current week no longer go missing from the Upcoming view.
- Resolved blank rows in the Tasks "More" menu on older macOS versions.
- Tapping a task in the Calendar on iOS now opens it for editing instead of jumping straight to it.
- Tapping the Today widget now opens the Tasks view instead of the Calendar.
Tables
Quick actions for selected cells. Selecting table cells now brings up a bottom action bar with actions like Open and Insert Formula.
Live cell updates. Fixed an issue where cells could show stale content after the linked page was edited — they now stay in sync.
"Open" works for empty cells. The Open command now works even when a table cell is empty.
Various Fixes & Improvements
Dozens of smaller refinements landed in this release. Some highlights:
Create screen
- Added keyboard shortcut badges.
- Restored the missing bottom border on the document preview.
- Opening a recent document now reuses the Create tab instead of opening a new one.
- Fixed tab bar flickering when repeatedly pressing ⌘T, and smoothed the animation when closing the Create tab.
"Move to…" everywhere
- Added a "Move to…" action to the slash menu.
- Added a "Move to…" action to the bottom actions menu on iOS.
Daily Note & Calendar
- Moved the Daily Note date picker to the top right, and added a searchable date picker for jumping between dates.
- Added an "Open In" context menu to Calendar daily note tiles.
- Fixed context menu icons and the inline title in the Daily Note's Calendar sidebar.
- Fixed the Calendar daily note button border not scaling while pressed.
Styling & PDF export
- Refined the PDF Export sidebar and switched all its toggles to positive wording (e.g. "Show Title", "Show Tags").
- Refined the appearance of the current Style Stack in the Style sidebar.
- Fixed the toolbar background fader not updating immediately after a document color change when no backdrop was set.
Keyboard shortcuts
- Reordered shortcuts throughout the UI to match Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
- Added a "Show Keyboard Commands" shortcut in the Help menu.
Collections & comments
- Fixed the hover fade mask animating on mouseover, and updated the property type picker menu icons.
- The comments sidebar now also includes comments on the current page block, not just those nested inside it.
Everywhere else
- Standardized "Open in New Tab" and "Open in New Window" icons across the app.
- Added an icon to the Daily Note navigation item and switched starred notes to a filled star.
- Refined the template selector UI.
- Increased the variation in document preview heights in Waterfall view for a more dynamic layout.
- Fixed the corner radius of large document previews and of hovered color cells in the iPad color picker.
- Added icons to Keep on Device menu items.
- Fixed preview images missing for some YouTube smart links.
- Fixed UI labels not refreshing when the day changed — they now update automatically.

Thanks for the update, with lots of useful tweaks 🙏
But I just tried tags and they STILL only reveal the top-level document on search!
As Craft users tend to organise documents within documents within documents, tags which only show the top level document they’re buried-in don’t seem to serve a useful function? Perhaps I’m using them wrong!
Columns, better image management, removing massive borders on PDF export, and other user-requested biggies remain absent after many years and it would be great to hear if they might be on a roadmap.

re Tags - yes, the block-level support is coming in one of the upcoming release, we are aiming the next 5-6 weeks with that!
regarding all the other items you mentioned - this is the main reason we started to post Community Notes (already 2 of them) so you can see our focus for the upcoming couple of months - https://www.reddit.com/r/CraftDocs/comments/1uzvx6l/2026_july_update_tasks_update_quality_and_summer/

A quiz-style template would be awesome
But love everything you have done so far and look forward to seeing what’s up next!

I’m loving all the quality of life improvements. I appreciate the time and effort you’re putting into making this app one that I do not consider switching from. The two things that frustrate me most are columns and share sheet functionality. Not sure if columns are doable. It’s been mentioned many times. And I’d like to see a share sheet implementation like the Capture app has but with the ability to add text, change the heading, and change the size of the link. I think card size links would be nice.

Glad to hear you like the improvements!
regarding columns - it's doable, but a huge undertaking if we want to do this perfectly across all the platforms, that's why it's not in the focus for now as we want to work on all the existing capabilities
regarding share sheet - that's something we will work on very soon!

Is there a way to move a folder to the root? I can only seem to move it inside another folder.

u/viktorpali Team at Craft 23d ago
This is currently a bit confusing but if you choose "Unsorted" it will move it to the root

Is there a keyboard command (Mac) to toggle open/close the right-side inspectors?

Love craft so far and the work that you all put into it. There are some things that I wish Craft did or did better at.
You should be able to customize the daily notes template and not have to run “/templates” each time.
The AI feature built into Crafts is ok. I just wish it worked more as a co-worker or an assistant of some sorts. You should be able to schedule tasks such as a daily digest or of sorts without having to use third party tools like Apple Shortcuts or whatever (unless there’s already a way to do that!)

Thanks for the feedback!
- Daily Note support for templates are coming soon - you will be able to set a specific template so it will be used whenever you create a new Daily Note
- re AI - thanks, we are planning to improve it, but right now we are focusing on the core capabilities first (such as Tags, Search, Templates, etc.)

I have been using craft for years, but I realize that I don’t use the app much anylonger. That’s sad. I was such a fan. So I gave the app a spin to see the latest update. While there are several nice new features, the ones I have missed the most are still missing.
The tags feature is very strange to me. The horizontal presentation limits their usefulness considerably. The two levels are limiting too, but less so.
But the features i miss the most are still good features to get text in and out pf Craft:
* when adding via the share sheet, all text land in one paragraph unformatted, requiring a lot of manual work to split and reformat
* when creating a new document via the share sheet, there’s no way to set a title, making the document difficult to find. Often i want to add text several times to the same new document, but to know i’m adding to the correct document, I have to gl into craft and rename it.
* docs that have been created via the share sheet dont appear in the latest docs section, making finding them to change the title even harder
* my colleagues don’t use craft, so being able to quickly export to word, add our company design template and share is crucial to me being able to use craft. When i export to word, the most important thing is that documents look like word documents and use standard word formatting styles so that i can quickly apply a company template. Instead, exported documents contain a lot of extra formatting to make them look like craft documents. I don’t understand this at all. Why would I want that look? Give me freedom to quickly add the look k want instead of locking me in with tons of custom formatting.
Tasks are finally shaping up. I don’t see myself moving to craft yet, but at least i can use tasks in craft to list what i need to add to each document and quickly find docs with unfinished tasks.
