Use Slash key / to create new objects

With the hotkey “/” (forward slash), you get quick access to the object menu! You can use it to:

change the block type: type a slash after a text and choose how you want to transform the block type.
create new objects: just type a slash on a new line. Use clipboard to find the object you need faster.

You can still use the arrow to open the object menu if that’s more convenient for you.

The feature already works on the web and desktop and will soon be added to mobile versions.

Add buttons to give your notes commercial power

With buttons, you can:

draw attention to important links;
navigate your client&teams
increase conversions!

These key call-to-action elements make your notes interactive and efficient for collaboration.

To create buttons in Nimbus Note, choose Button in the object menu or select a text and click Create button in the formatting bar. Then, add a link and set the button design (color, size and style).

In links, you can even set your email and telephone number (in the format tel:number)

Work with enhanced public pages!

We’ve greatly improved the design and functionality of public notes.
Updated dark theme for comfortable use at night;
Added search for public notes;
Highlighted save button;
Added one-click access to the web client. Once you save a public note to Nimbus, you can open it in your workspace by clicking on the same button?

Use our public pages even more efficiently in your collaboration with clients and teams!

Use optimized search

Firstly, the search indexation has become much higher. Secondly, we’ve changed the way searches are organized. Previously, search results were sorted by date. Now they’re by title. Notes with the search phrase in the title come first, while notes with the search phrase in the body are gathered below.

Find what you need even faster!

Enjoy new features for our editor

We have several useful updates for our editor. Here they are:

Copy blocks easily with our new option in the block menu! Select any block type and copy them in one click. Then, paste them in any note!

Hide frames for HTML blocks and make them look like part of a note! Just go to the Block menu and select Style. There, you can also hide the top bar for HTML blocks if desired.
Add captions to tables and code blocks (only for new objects).

Log in to Nimbus Note with your Apple ID on the web!
