As many of you asked about it - we are already working on a deeper Siri integration for OS 27. You will be able to interact with your docs and tasks through Siri.

Betas can change every week, but we are excited how Siri feels already much more powerful than ever. From direction-wise it's also very important for us that Craft will utilise as much native capabilities as possible (we are also working on better Shortcut support too!)

Hey everyone,

Over the past couple of months, we worked on to improve import capabilities for Notion, Evernote and Google Docs. Also, yesterday we launched the Apple Notes import as well.

• If you want to give it a try - https://docs.craft.do/import
• Let me know how it went!
• Also, if you want another option, just let me know!

+1 - If you have a Quip account, please let me know as we are working on a simple Quip import as well.

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.

Wherever you are on your Mac, just open it and capture your thoughts instantly - with full keyboard support of course!

Let me know if you want to try it out early!

Hey everyone!
On Monday we released our major tasks revamp and performance improvements.

How do you like it? What's still missing or what would you like to see next?

Wish you a great weekend!

We hosted our first-ever Craft meetup in San Francisco!

Thanks to everyone who joined! If you missed this time, don't worry, there will be more!

Let us know where should the next one be!

Hi everyone,

Our Spring & Summer cleanup initiative continues with one of the biggest Windows updates we’ve ever worked on.

This release is focused entirely on under-the-hood improvements. There are no major new features, but the app should feel faster, more stable, and more reliable throughout.

We’re looking for Windows users who would like to help us test this version before its public release. If you’d like early access and are happy to share feedback, please send me a DM with the email address associated with your Craft account.

Thanks, and have a great week ahead!

Viktor

We’ve always tried to be transparent about our plans and how we think about Craft, but this year we’d like to share even more frequently so we can bring you along on the journey and give you a clearer view of what’s next.

I’ve put together this write-up to share our high-level thinking and the direction we’re heading. As we make progress, we’ll continue publishing more detailed updates every 6–8 weeks.

Our goal

Our goal is simple: build the best personal productivity app in the world.

We believe productivity software should help you think clearly, write effectively, and turn ideas into action. Craft’s role is to bring those pieces together in a single, personal experience.

To get there, we’ll focus on four principles: quality, reliability, built with our community, and fair pricing.

If we do this well, Craft can become more than just another productivity tool. It can become a true home for your work, ideas, and knowledge, supported by a community helping shape its future alongside us.

How to achieve our goal

Quality

Quality is difficult to measure, but we’ve deliberately chosen it as our north star.

Every decision we make should answer a simple question: does this make Craft more useful, more reliable, or more enjoyable to use?

We believe a product-first approach is the best way to build something that lasts. Rather than chasing trends, we’ll focus on continuously improving the experience you rely on every day.

Improvements over new things

Over the next several months, roughly 80% of our effort will go toward improving and refining the parts of Craft you already use every day.

That doesn’t mean innovation stops. New capabilities will continue to arrive when they meaningfully improve the experience. However, our priority is to strengthen the foundation before expanding further.

Our approach to AI in-product

AI is here to stay, but whether you use it in Craft should always be your choice.

We don’t believe AI should be forced into workflows, bundled into higher subscription prices, or required to access core functionality.

Our principles are simple:

• Craft should work beautifully with or without AI.
• Users should have flexibility and be able to choose which model they want to use (e.g. through MCP, Bring Your Own Key, making on-device models available, etc.)
• When we launch AI enabled features we make sure that privacy, transparency, and user control come first

Next steps

Next 6 weeks

If you've been following our recent Spring Clean-Up releases, you've already seen the first signs of this renewed focus in the past couple of months: refining the experience, improving performance, and making Craft better every day.

And the next big steps are already underway:

• We just released MCP v2, Bring Your Own Key support, and Assistant preferences. All of these features will be available free of charge for every user. Following this release, our primary focus will shift to other areas of Craft as we continue improving the core experience across the app.
• During this weekend we’ll share our plans for the future of task management with our Beta Community - introducing All Tasks view for your whole Space and roughly 50+ Quality of Life improvements that will make Tasks management a much better experience. We are already using this version internally and we are all excited to share with you and hear your feedback!
• Tasks Management improvements will be the part of our v3.5 update, that we are planning to release around end of June / early July. This will contain two other significant updates:
  • Huge performance improvements across all native platforms, with a particular focus on editing responsiveness and overall app smoothness and battery usage.
  • A major under-the-hood overhaul of the Windows app, improving both stability and performance.

Upcoming months

Beyond June, here are some of the areas we’re planning to focus on. This isn’t a complete roadmap, but rather a snapshot of our current priorities and thinking. We will share frequent updates (roughly every 6 – 8 weeks) to share our progress and provide more details around areas that we are currently focusing on.

We don’t want to commit to specific timelines. Our priority is shipping high-quality improvements rather than hitting milestone dates.

And here’s the shortlist of the areas:

• Tags – general improvements and supporting batch operations (rename, delete)
• Search – larger overhaul (some UX updates will apply for tags as well)
• OCR – utilising the full capabilities of the native platforms 
• Editing improvements – making it more performant, fix small bugs, improve cross block selection (as an optional mode)
• Color handling – standardizing the color picker and allow custom colors everywhere
• Templates – rework the template selector, introduce localised templates, the ability to have default template for Daily Notes, introducing some level of dynamic behaviours, etc.
• Sound and Voice support on block level – with transcription support
• Further improving import workflows

 

We have many more ideas and plans, but we want to tackle them one at a time, focusing first on the areas that need the most attention. Our goal is to make meaningful improvements before moving on to the next challenge.

How you can help

Our community has always been an essential part of Craft. Every discussion, piece of feedback, bug report, and feature request has helped shape the product we have today.

Going forward, we want to strengthen that relationship even further.

If you’d like to get closer to the team, join our Reddit or Slack communities. If you’d like early access to upcoming features, join our Beta Community.

And most importantly, I’d love to hear from you directly. Take a few minutes and send me an email at viktor@craft.do with the biggest pain point you’re currently experiencing in Craft.

I may not be able to respond immediately, but I promise I’ll read every message.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your feedback, support, and trust have helped shape Craft into what it is today, and we’re excited to continue building its future together.

New Craft release is out!
This one’s all about making Craft Assistant more flexible, more personal, and entirely on your terms, plus big improvements to Web and Windows around stability and performance

With MCP v2, Bring Your Own Key support, and Assistant preferences now available to everyone free of charge, we’re completing the first phase of our Assistant improvements. Our focus will now shift toward refining and improving other core areas of Craft.

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Connect your own OpenAI (Sign in with ChatGPT or API key) or Anthropic API key, and use Craft Assistant without touching your Craft quota.

Personalize the Assistant: Add your own preferences under Settings → Assistant (tone, language, response style, custom instructions).

MCP v2: Our biggest MCP update yet: folder icons & colors, document styling, Craft doc link understanding, and unified search. We cut the MCP interface token count by 85.9% for faster, cheaper responses with Claude, ChatGPT, and other agents.

Apple Foundation Models: Now with longer conversations. Private, offline, on-device AI — free for everyone.

Web & Windows improvements: Smoother scrolling and editing, multi-select in Browse, better task drag-and-drop, and a much more stable Windows app.

Meet us in San Francisco: June 10th! Our first ever community meetup. Come hang out with the team, hear what’s coming in 2026, and meet other Craft users. → Register here

PS: big announcement tomorrow

We've been working hard to significantly improve Craft on Web and Windows. This release is the first step in a broader push to raise the overall quality of Craft across every platform, expect more to follow.

It brings personalization, performance, and polish: new tabs open faster, memory usage is smarter, a new in-app update banner keeps you current, and we've fixed a long list of keyboard, sync, and editor issues, including a major fix for Dvorak, QWERTZ, and AZERTY layouts.

Highlights

• Faster, smoother app: New tabs open noticeably quicker thanks to a pre-warmed view. Idle background tabs are auto-released after 10 minutes to keep memory in check.
• In-app updates: A new update banner appears when an update is ready, plus a manual Check for updates button in the About section.
• Daily-note date navigator: A new pill control lets you jump between days quickly.
• Quicker navigation: "Open in new tab" is now available in folder and shared-with-me menus, and every document card has a handy Copy link action.
• Cross-tab sync: Language, theme, and "What's New" dismissal now stay in sync across all your open tabs.
• Big keyboard fix: Letter shortcuts and Cmd+. / Cmd+/ now work correctly on Dvorak, QWERTZ, AZERTY, and other non-US keyboard layouts.
• Personalize your accent color: Pick any accent color and watch it flow through the editor: links, selection, drag highlights, the daily-note "Today" header, and icon badges all adapt automatically. Dark mode keeps everything readable, even on bright accents.

Editor improvements

• Pasting into a table cell now lands inside the cell instead of below the table
• Single-click no longer toggles edit/select on empty table cells
• Improved formula editing in tables
• New visible-section indicator in the Table of Contents sidebar
• Smoother sidebar animations and tighter row spacing
• Fixed cover image clashing with content in wide page layout
• Select block on right-click

Collections

• Fixed SUM aggregation precision and grouped-calculation scope
• Kanban: fixed infinite render loop in group toggles and card insertion with duplicated column names
• Faster gallery card opening on fast double-click
• Better theming in popups and menus

Sync & stability

• More reliable cross-tab logout and restored Windows context menu
• Fixed clipping on maximized windows
• Folder move-to-root sync and root folder ordering fixed
• Tab state survives disk errors gracefully, no more crashes on low disk space
• Fewer memory leaks and render loops throughout the editor

Thanks for using Craft!

Hey everyone,

Let me share what we've been working on these past few weeks, and what's coming in the next few months. We're doubling down on some of the core aspects of Craft to make them better: Task Management, Collections, Reminders, Search, and Performance.

We've always been proud of our engaged community that helps us make Craft better alongside the team. We read all the posts and feedback, and they directly shape our plans. In the coming months we'll address many of the points you've raised.

I do hope in the coming months we will address many of the valid points that you shared with us.

Here's a quick glance at what we are planning to ship in the next 6–8 weeks:

• Early next week: better sidebar customization, Reminders improvements, and some smaller fixes
• 2–3 weeks: Collections improvements (especially on iPhone), and wrapping up our Craft Assistant push: BYOK (bring your own key), better Apple Foundation Models support, and additional QoL improvements (with usage improvements if we can fit them in)
• ~4 weeks: first version of the All Tasks View shared with the beta community
• in 5-6 weeks: first set of performance related improvements (app open, doc opens, tab switching, etc.)

We'll also share more about what we're planning for the rest of the year in about a month.

One last thing, your feedback is genuinely important and always welcome; it's a key input into how we shape the roadmap. At the same time, we won't be able to ship everything in the next release, so if you don't see your suggestion yet, it doesn't mean we're not listening.

Thanks for being on this journey with us, and happy Sunday!
