Markdown

To edit a note on iPhone, while editing an item, click the “Edit Note” button above the keyboard. On Mac or iPad, you can use the “shift” + “enter” shortcut.

Headings

You can create headings by using hashtags (#) before your text. The number of hashtags you use will determine the level of the heading. For example, using one hashtag (#) creates a major heading, similar to a title, while using two hashtags (##) creates a sub-heading. Using more hashtags creates lower-level headings.

# This is a major heading
## This is a sub-heading
### This is a lower-level heading

Ordered and Unordered Lists

Markdown makes it simple to create ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.

For ordered lists, simply start a line with a number, followed by a period and a space. For example:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

For unordered lists, you can use either a dash (-) or an asterisk (*) followed by a space. For example:

- First item
- Second item
- Third item

Quotes

You can now create a blockquote using Markdown by adding a greater than sign (>) before your text. It’s perfect for when you want to highlight a quote in your notes.

> This is a blockquote

Links

Finally, Markdown allows you to create hyperlinks easily. You can create a link by wrapping link text in brackets ([ ]), and then wrapping the URL in parentheses (( )). For example:

[Visit Airlist](https://www.airlist.app)

Export Options

Export Options

  • Copy to Markdown: You can now copy the current view to Markdown
  • Print Current View: Print your current view directly from Airlist
  • Export All Items: Export all items to JSON, Markdown, or print them

Quickly Filter Tags

Next, I’ve added a powerful new way to manage and interact with your tags: Click on a tag to create a temporary Saved Search. This feature will display all items associated with a particular tag. You can then save this new view for future reference or simply dismiss it once you’re done.

I’ve also worked on bug fixes and overall app enhancements to improve your user experience.

Your feedback is always welcome. Let me know if you have any questions or need help with the new features.
