Craft Update - Quick Entry, Daily Notes template support, Quality of Life improvements

Hi there,

We’ve prepared another big update: an OS-level Quick Entry for Mac (with a customizable keyboard shortcut) so you can capture any thought or task in seconds and stay in your flow. You can now also set a template for your Daily Notes, and we’ve improved our imports for Google Docs, Notion, and Evernote, plus added Apple Notes as a brand-new option. And we didn’t forget the smaller things either: 60+ improvements across all platforms.

Our Annual Summer Survey is still live this week, so let us know your feedback and what you’d like to see next in Craft!

Quick Entry

Available on Mac

With Quick Entry, you can capture anything the moment it comes to mind, a thought, a task, an idea, without switching away from what you’re doing. Combined with the recent Tasks improvements, nothing you write down during the day gets lost.

Quick Entry opens up a whole new way of interacting with Craft and embeds it even deeper into your daily life.

While Craft is running, press the Quick Capture shortcut (⌃ Space by default) from anywhere in macOS to quickly create a new document or task, add to a Daily Note, or append to an existing document.

• Custom Keyboard Shortcut: Record your own Quick Capture keyboard shortcut in Settings → Advanced
• Keyboard Support: Press ⌘ 1, ⌘ 2, ⌘ 3, or ⌘ 4 to switch modes, ⇧ ⌘ O to choose the destination, ⇧ ⌘ U to select a Space (Tab in the Space switcher to switch between accounts), ⇧ ⌘ S to set a scheduled date, and ⇧ ⌘ D to set a deadline. Press ⌘ ⏎ to capture, or ⇧ ⌘ ⏎ to capture and open, or ⌥ ⌘ ⏎ to capture and continue.
• Markdown Support: Use Markdown syntax in the Quick Capture panel to format your note

Template support for Daily Notes

Available on Mac, iPhone, iPad

Daily Notes are a powerful daily driver for many of us - whether you use it for journaling, planning your day, or running a single shared Daily Note with your team.

Now you can set a template under Settings → Templates to automatically apply whenever a new Daily Note is created - no more manual copy paste!

Import improvements

Over the past couple of months, we've been improving our import capabilities for Notion, Evernote, and Google Docs, and now we launched Apple Notes import as well.

You can try them at - https://docs.craft.do/import.

Quality of Life improvements

As we promised, 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. As a result of this Quality focus we introduced 60+ improvements, you can read the high-level list here, and in our What’s new doc, you can also check out more details with screenshots as well.

Mac, iPhone, and iPad improvements

Code Blocks

• Fixed syntax highlighting temporarily disappearing while resizing windows or sidebars
• Removed the unnecessary focus ring shown with Full Keyboard Access enabled on macOS

Daily Notes

• Moved the date picker to the top right on iPad
• Enabled previous and next navigation on touch devices
• Added a Today option to the task reschedule menu
• Added the “+” button to task section on iPhone

Insert Menu

• Refreshed the insert menu with custom block icons, added missing block types, and made it easier to discover different content types

Dock Menu

• Added “New Window” and “Quick Entry” to the macOS Dock context menu

Collections

• Fixed multi-value relation fields on iPhone and iPad where selected items couldn’t be deselected
• Fixed clearing number field values in the edit panel
• Fixed editing large numbers in number fields
• Updated field type icons to use SF Symbols consistently
• Improved animations when changing field types and number formats
• Fixed relation field values fading out too early in the collection entry detail panel on iPad

Calendar

• Fixed Apple Calendar events not refreshing across calendar views
• Calendar Events: Fixed “Open in Calendar” on Mac not navigating to the selected event

Settings

• Updated Appearance Settings icons, they now also reflect the selected accent color
• Added integration descriptions and reorganized the sections

and all the other improvements across the whole app

• Connections: Renamed the “Imagine” section to “Connections”, refined the layout, added “Add” buttons to each section, improved the example use cases, and made the example gallery dismissible

• Tables: Use tabular figures for numeric table cells

  Different digits have different widths (e.g., 1 is a lot narrower than 9). Therefore numbers sometimes have different lengths (e.g., 1,111,111 vs 9,999,999) making them difficult to compare at a glance. Most fonts have a tabular figures feature, where all digits have the same width, making larger numbers line up perfectly. In tables, when the cell is formatted as a number, currency or percent, we now use tabular numbers.

• Create Screen: Press ⇧ ⌘ U to select a Space (Tab in the Space switcher to switch between accounts)

• Spaces: Switching spaces now keeps you on the Tasks or Calendar page

• Insert Sidebar: Added a keyboard shortcut badge to the search field

• Card Style Panel: Added keyboard support for navigating and applying card styles on Mac and iPad

• In-Document Search: Fixed searches with accented characters when diacritics-insensitive matching was enabled

• Styling: Fixed the top document fade sometimes using the wrong background color after returning from a subpage

• Fixed the document unexpectedly scrolling to the top when opening or closing a sidebar on iPad
