Any update on incremental sync and the new note file structure? Loving my Supernote, but large notes make syncing painful
First of all, I want to make it clear that I absolutely love my Supernote Manta. The philosophy behind the product, the focus on writing, the longevity of the hardware and Ratta's unusually open relationship with the community are a huge part of why I chose Supernote.
I'm running into one issue, though, that is becoming increasingly noticeable as I use it more: large .note files and syncing.
I currently have a note that's around 150 MB. My understanding is that with the current sync architecture, even a relatively small modification to that note can require the whole file to be processed/uploaded again rather than just the changes. As a result, adding or editing a page can make synchronization surprisingly long.
I know Ratta is already very aware of this. I read the October 2025 post about the major overhaul of the note file structure and sync system, including a lighter file structure and smarter syncing. I've also seen the more recent comments from the Supernote team confirming that you're moving from full-file syncing to incremental sync, and redesigning the note format so that files don't grow as quickly.
So this isn't really a feature request — I'm actually very happy to see that the exact problem I'm experiencing is already being addressed.
I'm mostly wondering whether the team can share any visibility on its progress.
Is incremental sync / the new note format currently targeted for a specific upcoming release or beta? Is there a roadmap item we can follow? And are we talking about something that is getting relatively close now, or is it still a longer-term project?
No pressure for a firm ETA if one isn't possible. Even a rough indication of where the project currently stands would be really useful.
Thanks to the Supernote team for continuing to improve devices we already own rather than making software improvements dependent on buying new hardware. That's one of the things I appreciate most about Supernote.
