What’s next for Craft - 2026 October

Hi there, 

It’s been a while since my last write-up and a lot has happened, so here is the next update on what we shipped, what’s in today’s release, and what’s coming very soon!

The past couple of months were extremely busy, just to name a few things:

  • OS-level Quick Entry on Mac
  • Day 1 support for OS 27 
  • Reworked color system 
  • Tags improvements with batch actions
  • Performance improvements and over 100 bigger and smaller updates and fixes both native and on the Web

But the team didn’t rest, today’s update includes fully reworked Shortcuts support, reworked and new widgets, including configurable Lock Screen widgets along with new Control Center widgets to make Craft an even more embedded part of your Apple ecosystem. 

We are also improving localisation in two major ways: 

  • We reworked our CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) font support - one of the most frequent pieces of feedback that we keep hearing from users writing in these languages.
  • Introducing localised templates during the coming weeks alongside the English ones. If you have a template that you think others would find useful, please share it with us by sending it over to support@craft.do.

Besides the product updates, we have some exciting news about our Plus subscription tier as well! 

More powerful Plus tier for the same price

Our goal is to build the best personal productivity app. 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 focus on four principles: quality, reliability, built with our community, and fair pricing. Over the past months we covered the first three, now it’s time for fair pricing.

For us, fair pricing means you shouldn’t end up paying more for Craft over time, even as the product improves. As Craft gets better you should enjoy the benefits and don’t need to worry that we will increase the price or introduce new, more expensive tiers.

With today’s release Plus becomes more powerful without any change in the price: from today, Plus includes 10 Spaces instead of 5. 

We are also announcing three further improvements coming in the next months:

  • Space guests are coming back - You can already publish a document to read and comment or share it to edit together with others even without a Craft account, you can also create a Team and collaborate across Spaces. But often you just need a simple solution to bring a couple of people into a Space - a study group, a client you work with as a freelancer or you are introducing Craft into your friends and family. For all of those Space guests will be a perfect solution, and it's coming soon!
  • Custom domain per Space - Right now you can set a single custom domain for your account, and it is used in every Space. Many of you told us you’d like a different domain per Space to keep the different parts of your life apart, especially if you run several side businesses or work with multiple clients. This option is also coming in a few months.
  • 1 million+ blocks per Space - Today, because of performance considerations and device memory limitations the maximum size of a Space is 300,000 blocks. That's enough for 5+ years in 99.9% of the cases, but we want you to never think about this. Today we are opening a beta, where we will increase the limit step by step, and then roll it out to everyone.

We are building Craft for the years to come, together with our Community - we hope you will like these updates!

And what’s next

As always, we’re already working on the next things and can’t wait to share them. As a quick sneak peek - we’ll have Day 1 support for iPhone Duo, and starring pages and Collection items is coming very soon.

And as always, 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.

Wish you a great weekend,

Viktor

Apple just dropped the first iPhone Duo simulator and look what we have here!

The team spent the summer getting ready for Day 1. This is a first glimpse from the simulator also for us so it was an exciting moment to see what is the current state, but it already looks great!
We'll keep polishing the experience over the coming weeks!

Sneak peek - Craft + Siri on OS 27

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!)

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.

Fill out the Survey and have a chance to win one of 10 lifetime subscriptions

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.

2026 July update - Tasks update, Quality, and Summer Focus

https://preview.redd.it/4uosi8o7pzdh1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62dec8e8e9a3e5a06114cee19952821c0d95dbb4

It’s been six weeks since my first note to the Community, where I shared our goal, why we’re focusing on quality and refinement over brand-new features, and how we think about AI in Craft. A lot has happened since, so here’s where we are.

Appreciation to our Community and to the Team

First of all, I would like to say a big thanks, because we got an amazing amount of positive reactions and emails with your feedback (I’m still answering back for the remaining ones day by day).

Another shout out to the Team as in the past couple of months, we achieved so much. We released the major Tasks update, performance improvements, the largest under-the-hood update for our Windows app to improve stability and performance, Bring Your Own Key, MCP v2 and Assistant Preferences. 

Tasks Update

The Tasks update was especially a significant one – we first introduced a separate Tasks section to Craft at the end of 2024 and since then we received numerous requests on how to make it better and overall more consistent. Introducing the All Tasks view was the most visible part of the update, but we made more than 50 improvements  including multi-select, powerful keyboard shortcuts and an updated date picker with natural language support. 

The initial feedback is very positive, we are hearing from our long-time users that with all these improvements they can now switch to Craft fully and manage their docs and tasks in one app. Of course Task Management can get as complex as you want, so you need to decide for yourself if this is your cup of tea. But just from my perspective, a few weeks ago I said goodbye to OmniFocus, which I had been using for 12 years (and which kept me from forgetting thousands of things big and small). 

Of course, the Beta Community played a crucial role here again. We shared the Tasks update with them first and worked together for four weeks to prepare the final version. With their help we fixed bugs we’d missed and improved the initial release based on their ideas.

What’s Next

After the v3.5 update, we are not slowing down. In the upcoming 2 – 3 releases we are continuing to follow up on smaller Tasks improvements and performance optimisations. But we are also working quietly in the background on the next two areas we want to improve:

  • How to quickly add content to Craft
  • A set of Quality of Life updates around Tags

Quick Entry on Mac

To add content to Craft as quickly as possible is critical to keep your flow, and it matters even more when you’re not in Craft but want to capture a link, a task, or just a thought.

We are building an OS-level Quick Entry that you can open instantly wherever you are with a keyboard shortcut (yes, the shortcut will be customizable from day one). 

We are sharing the first version with the Beta Community in the upcoming days! 

https://preview.redd.it/9ibducfgpzdh1.jpg?width=1518&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75fb18b5eb203a9b897fb6e18a329cbd8189d7a2

Tags Revamp

Since we released the first version of Tags, we heard many requests on how we can make them much better and more powerful. After the successful Tasks revamp, we are planning to do the same around Tags. There are many topics to address, such as batch actions, true block-based support, editing behaviours around tag badges, and some overall polish of the experience.

As a first step we are introducing batch operations (rename and delete) and some smaller Quality of Life improvements – all these changes will be available in the next update planned for next week.

Other Areas

In the coming weeks we’ll also be working on a few other areas:

  • On Web and Windows side we are continuing our under-the-hood improvements – those are needed to ensure a much better user experience and the ability to move faster with adding the missing capabilities (at first the newly introduced Task Management improvements).
  • Templates updates – similarly to Tasks and Tags, this is a big area as well. The first step is to let you set a default Daily Note template and introduce localised templates (first for our Japanese and Korean users).
  • We are already preparing to support some of the most important aspects of the new OS27 update by Apple this fall – resizability for the iPhone app, improved Liquid Glass, App Entities, intents and utilising the latest capabilities of Apple Foundation Models.

Committing to Quality

We have already mentioned previously that we are putting our full focus on quality right now. That’s quite a broad statement, so we want to share some more of our thinking about this and we as a team approach it.

Committing to quality is easy to do in theory, hard to do in practice. It means making painful tradeoffs:

Quality over Speed – We’d rather take longer to ship something than ship it incomplete. We refuse to ship a feature when the details – visual, animation, functionality – aren’t polished, even if they take more time. No shortcuts. Getting to 80% is easy, we have to accept the pain of getting to 100%.

Quality over Breadth – As a small team we have limited resources and attention, and we will need to focus on a few things and do them well rather than try to do a lot of mediocre updates. We do believe that if we ship quality updates, even though the number of areas that we touch with each release will be lower, the overall end result will be much better.

Quality over Novelty – Some things will always fall through the cracks. We have to treat cleanups, bug fixes, and revisiting existing parts of the app as real, valuable work, not as time taken away from building something new.

None of this means every release has to be big. “Complete” doesn't have to mean a whole sweeping solution. It can also mean something small, but done without gaps.

As we wrote in the previous post as well – 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.

And most importantly, it's why we’re sharing more frequent updates like this one, so you can always see where we are, what we're thinking, and where we're heading in the months ahead.

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.

We are launching our annual Summer Survey – take 6 minutes to share your candid opinion about Craft. In August we will share a report with key insights! 

Take the Summer Survey

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.

Or if you want you can always reach out to me 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.

Our Summer update is here - Tasks, Performance & Summer Sale!

We’re excited to share the next major step in our Spring (and now Summer) cleanup effort. This is easily the biggest update we’ve released as part of this initiative so far.

The All Tasks view is here. You can now see every task across your entire Space in a single place. Alongside that, we’ve made more than 50 improvements to task management, including multi-select, powerful keyboard shortcuts, and a more consistent experience across platforms.

We also made some huge performance improvements. Typing is now dramatically smoother, battery life is better thanks to reduced CPU usage, navigation feels smoother throughout the app, and document opening is up to 2.3× faster.

Also, we are pairing this update with our Summer Sale! For a limited time, get 40% off Plus and Family plans for life, if you upgrade through the web app.

All the details are here - https://documents.craft.me/3.5.0

Excited to hear your feedback!
