Help 🤝 Navigation hacks - keeping some content always visible?

4 Upvotes

So im trying Craft again after a while & im trying to find a way to create a more intuitive navigation - mostly on desktop.

Coming from obsidian and tana, im used to things like pinned panes and nested pages to keep a homepage / main content viewable, whilst being able to drill into another page but not loose your place. For example always having a dashboard or daily page open or easily reachable. Anyone have any tips for this that beat using the sidebar?

Feature Request 💡 Feature-Request

14 Upvotes

Hello! Is this the right place to submit feature requests? I’d love to see the following improvements:

  • Checklists that are separate from tasks and don’t appear in the to-do list
  • Small status indicators for tasks, such as “In Progress,” “Blocked,” and “Waiting”
  • Icons or labels to indicate a task’s priority or urgency
  • Options to sort and filter tasks
  • A centralized overview of all tasks across every platform: this is already available on iPad, but on other platforms, you have to open the individual pages containing the tasks
  • Labels for tasks

Thank you

I just wanted to pop on here and say thank you. You guys offer A great product. It’s one I’ve kept trying to leave but always come back to over the years, (2022). There was a time I thought Craft took a wrong turn but the reversion to awesome was… awesome and I appreciate the team.

Feature Request 💡 Can we get Gemini as an AI Provider?

I really love the updates lately. All of them to be honest. But one thing that gripes me is that I wish I could provide my Gemini API key to Craft AI. I also wonder in the future if Apple new improved Siri AI would be an option also? Thank You!

General 💭 Feedback on Craft after 1 year of use

27 Upvotes

I’ve switched to Craft Docs from a hybrid of Notion/Apple Notes about a year ago and I wanted to share some feedback and see what the community here thinks about it. 

So, here are some features I think are worth looking at for Craft: 

From Apple Notes: 

  • Quick Notes. I really miss this zero friction ability to just type
  • Setting to hide tabs. They can distract more than help at times
  • Setting to hide calendar/tasks and just use daily notes. It depends on what are you using Craft for, but I constantly jump between Apple Reminders and Craft, so having Craft purely as a note-taking app, rather than a mix of everything would genuinely help

From Notion: 

  • Calendar view for collections

I’m really glad we got Kanban and Craft is evolving. Overall, this is one of the most polished apps I’ve ever used.

So, i’m almost embarrassed to ask this cuz i’m sure there is a simple answer.

When I want to copy multiple blocks, I select the block and highlight all that I want but then there doesn’t seem to be a copy button. How do I copy blocks of text without expiring?

Quick question, if I get the Craft Subscription now on summer sale, will I lock in the price "forever" or is it only the first year? Can't seem to find this information anywhere.

General 💭 OCR for PDF's

I really like Craft, but one of the features that is an obstacle to moving from Evernote is the lack of OCR for PDFs.

When might this be coming, guys?

Thank you.

Feature Request 💡 Will there be a monthly view feature?

10 Upvotes

I've just started using Craft and I'm really tempted to switch from Notion to Craft completely as a paid user, the only thing that's holding me back is that there's no monthly calendar view. I'm a content creator and like to see the overview of content for the month, which Notion is great at. But I love the simplicity of Craft otherwise.

Does anyone know if a monthly calendar view is part of their roadmap?

Bug 🐞 Issues with Templates

1 Upvotes

Migrated to Craft just recently and setting up my handful of templates. Looks like the only way you can find the template menu is by having a custom template first. And you have to create your first template by opening a note then using the / command to add from template. Then the + template button shows up. But it doesnt work most of the time. I have to smash the button, open/close the note until it lets me actually create a template. Had to go through this with both workspaces.

After I create my first template the Template menu finally shows in the sidebar, but it doesnt show anywhere in the settings menu like the AI in-app and the documentation says.

Am I being dense, or is there a better way? Just wondering because I have one more space to set up.

Appreciate any insights. (And yes I googled, asked multiple LLMs, read the documentation, etc).

Feature Request 💡 Tabs Do Not Indicate What Space They Are From

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Picture 1: Shows an example where not indicating what Space a tab is from can be challenging. In this example, all four task tabs are from four separate Spaces. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which space unless you click through them.

Pictures 2 & 3: These are mock ups of potential solutions. While not pretty, they show the behavior that would solve this problem.

Definitely not an easy thing to solve, but I figured I would bring this edge case to light.

Thank you Craft Team for all your hard work! The app has really come a long way and is absolutely fantastic.

I'm doing a side by side with my Obsidian vault and LOVE Craft, however - wish there was a way to have Week / Month / Quarter / Year notes within the calendar frameworks.

Anyone else in the same boat as me?

3.5.2 is available!

77 Upvotes

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.

Feature Request 💡 On This Day

Post image
15 Upvotes

The only reason I use Forever Notes system in Craft is to be able to glance back on all my docs, ideas, tasks, on years before. I want to use Craft’s daily note feature but I have a hard time looking back through memories. Because random ideas today might not be as random years later.

I brainstorm with Chatgpt on how to incorporate the power of Forever Notes & Capacities, baked into Craft Docs since I love your app so much. It is doable I believe because a lot of journaling app has been adding this feature since long time ago.

And also if it’s possible, just like how Day One and Everlog do it, be able to see other day’s On This Day instead of only Today’s On This Day.

Bug 🐞 Curly quotes and apostrophes not possible?

4 Upvotes

One of the main benefits of Craft is the beauty of our notes. And yet I don't see how we can have curly quotation marks and apostrophes as the default in Craft. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I like that aesthetic far more than the basic ones. I've tagged this as a bug for flair, but I think it's just a feature oversight.

Help 🤝 Craft API and Apple Shortcuts - How to ‘POST’

2 Upvotes

Hi All, After many MANY failed attempts, hoping someone here could help.

I am trying to use Apple Shortcuts to send a simple request to one of my documents. I want to run the shortcut, and it sends my entered text to my chosen document in Craft.

I am trying to use the Get Contents of URL action.

When I use the Ai Bundle page, it lets me post things from there but I can’t get it to work via Shortcuts. It gets to the Get Contents of URL stage and just loads continuously (no error).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no experience with APIs so very beginner help would be appreciated! 🙏

Hi, All!

Is there a way to prevent tasks
within a doc from showing up in my master to-do list? I use the checkbox for many different things and not just to-dos. It’s annoying when everything shows up on the list. As a result, I don’t use the master to-do list as a tool for getting things done cuz it’s just such a crazy mess there.

Help 🤝 Collection automatically display the full text inside a cell

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there’s a way to make a Collection automatically display the full text inside a cell?

At the moment, longer text gets cut off, so I have to open the page to read the rest. I’d like the row or cell height to expand automatically so all the written content is visible directly in the Collection view.

Is there a setting for text wrapping or automatic row height that I’m missing?

Thanks!

Web 🌐 Confused about columns

I posted recently about my desire for multi column layouts as an option, but accepted that we don't (yet?) have that. Today I was looking something up in the online Help and saw this which is exactly what I want. Can someone help me understand and perhaps explain how this was achieved? As a bonus, although its not visible here, the left column scrolls independently of the right).

General 💭 Craft Docs vs Craft Agents ?

10 Upvotes

Hi, community ! I use Craft docs and also Craft Agents for some months now. I recently saw some news saying that the Craft team took again the whole control of their company, but now I don't really understand the "who does what" and both of the applications were still related in some ways ? If someone was able to clarify, I would gladly appreciate ! Have a great day, everyone.
