    <title>0.9.40: New design for dock and phone, paper styles and profile picture</title>
    <link href="https://jpnote.de/en/updates/#versionen"/>
    <id>https://jpnote.de/en/updates/#v0.9.40</id>
    <updated>2026-10-21T12:00:00Z</updated>
    <content type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Clearer support: bug report and submission in two steps, help as tiles with a link to all settings&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: More compact feedback form with a guide on how to get the bug report. Only genuine reports from the app are accepted&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Confirm your email address right in the app (Settings, Account). Then you can rate JP Note, even with an older account&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed: The handle at the edge of the screen now reliably stays above other windows&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Mac: updates install right in the app, no new download needed. JP Note has to be in the Applications folder&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed: The download window on the website shows up completely in Safari again&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Snooze: hide pages or whole notes until a set time, with a note. Then they come back with a notification on your PC and a push on your phone&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: New settings: sections showing the current state at a glance, search, previews for theme and dock side, everything saves instantly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Push reminders on your phone renew themselves when the push service ended the subscription. Your PC lets you know if push is currently off on a phone&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Recurring tasks no longer jump straight back after you tick them: they wait under “Coming up” and return to the list on the day, marked “back again”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Tabs are now called notes in the app, and the text area of a page is the notes field&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Paper styles: Sticky note, Kraft paper, Clear and Sage, each in light and night. Sticky note is free, the others are part of Pro&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Better readability: all paper styles now meet WCAG AA contrast for hint texts, consistent focus rings for keyboard use&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Redesigned phone app: header with a tear-off calendar, greeting and what is due (tap for the list), your profile picture opens the settings, swipe between pages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Phone: settings in the new style with sections and the current state at a glance, plus paper styles and profile picture&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Phone: a short welcome tour that only asks about reminders at the end&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Phone: snooze pages and whole notes, with a note and a list to bring them back&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Phone: lo-fi music while focusing, six styles like on the PC&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Bug report for support (Settings, About JP Note): a ZIP file without note contents. When reporting on jpnote.de you can attach the report and up to 3 screenshots&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Profile picture: pick a symbol and a color or upload your own photo. The photo is shrunk on your device and stored only for your devices and support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Names are checked automatically when saved: no links, phone numbers or insults&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Sign-up: many more disposable addresses are detected, typos in the domain are caught, and variants of the same address (e.g. with “+tag”) count as one address&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved: Redesigned dock: header with a tear-off calendar, greeting and what is due today. Your profile picture opens the settings. The notes field sits right on the paper, the formatting bar appears while you write and as a small bar above selected text. Recognised dates light up in the text as you type. Drag tasks by the whole row and watch them glide into place. Smooth transitions between pages. A small moment of joy when everything is done&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;New: Device limit reached? When signing in you can replace an old device right away, with a note on whether its notes are backed up&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content>
