Notesy 1.4.8 — full-width photos, drawings and PDFs
Photos, Excalidraw/SVG drawings and PDF pages now fill the available reader width while preserving proportions. Portrait previews get taller scrolling rows, and following note text remains accessible. Media dimensions stay stable between previews, with bounded bitmap storage and low-memory fallbacks. Larger display does not add source detail.
Includes the complete task-text fix and Natural, High contrast and Original image modes. PDFs remain read-only previews without zoom or text selection.
Requires Organik Apps Pebble Connector 0.8.1 or later; no newer Connector is needed for this watch-reader update. Pairing, settings and vault content are preserved.
94 tests and both platform builds passed. Emulator visuals verified portrait/landscape layouts and scrolling to following text; this exact package installed successfully. Physical full-width media acceptance and fresh setup remain pending. Free, MIT open source, public beta.

Notesy 1.4.7 — complete task text in every theme
Update Organik Apps Pebble Connector to 0.8.1 or later before the watch app. Pairing, vault choices, pins, hidden folders and notes are preserved.
Checkbox rows now fit the selected theme font and available width, fixing clipped wrapped text. Long tasks continue beyond the previous 220-character summary, retaining one checkbox and the original check/uncheck behavior. Open notes recalculate their layout when the theme changes. Original vault notes are unchanged.
PDF previews and Natural, High contrast and Original image modes remain included.
93 automated tests and both watch builds passed. This exact package was installed and the task-text fix was successfully tested on the watch. Broader PDF/image and fresh-setup checks remain separate. Free, MIT open source, public beta.

Notesy 1.4.6 — PDFs and improved image previews
Update Organik Apps Pebble Connector to 0.8.0 or later BEFORE the watch app. Existing pairing, vault choices, pins, hidden folders and pending captures are preserved.
Open and pin PDFs from vault folders or note links. Embedded PDFs show numbered pages that load as you scroll; #page=N embeds show the selected page.
Choose Natural, High contrast or Original in Themes → Photos and drawings. Improved processing supports photos, Excalidraw/SVG drawings and PDF pages; original attachments remain unchanged. Save the setting and reopen a note to reload previews.
PDFs are read-only whole-page previews, without zoom or text selection. Fine print may be small. Limits: 20 MB and 1,000 pages; locked, damaged or oversized files show an explanation.
91 tests and both watch builds passed; this exact package installed successfully. Physical PDF/image visual acceptance and fresh setup remain pending. Public beta.

Notesy 1.4.4 — public beta
Update Organik Apps Pebble Connector to 0.7.0 or later BEFORE the watch app. Existing pairing, vault settings, pins, hidden folders and pending captures are preserved.
Continuous document scrolling with smaller animated button steps; fixes for blank stretches and skipped text in long notes. Open linked Obsidian notes with Select or touch, then return with Back or swipe right. Improved Markdown and inline HTML formatting, useful web-link labels, and fixed accidental strikethrough. Text and pictures scroll naturally while links and tasks remain interactive.
The reader uses the full screen height, with temporary save/error messages instead of a permanent footer. Configure Double Back separately for folder and note views; defaults to Actions. Up and Down always navigate. Menus start at the first row without a blank gap, preserving two-step selection and scrolled positions.
Automated checks passed; exact final-build hardware acceptance and fresh setup testing remain pending. Local picture and drawing previews are supported; remote images and Obsidian plugin views are not.

Notesy 1.2.0
Browse across pages in both directions with touch or buttons. Sort notes by name, modified date or created date, or choose a tag from the current folder to filter notes. Assign Return to top and Sort notes to your shortcuts.
Updated settings use consistent tabs, theme previews and custom themes. On touch-capable watches, tap another row to highlight it and read its title, then tap the highlighted row to open it. Up and Down keep their navigation behavior.
Requires Organik Apps Pebble Connector 0.5.0 or newer for sorting and tag browsing. Existing pairing, vault settings, pins and pending captures are preserved.

# Notesy 1.1.0 — public beta
Supersedes 1.0.1, whose SDK-generated package retained an old version label. A clean build and
release version check ensure the watch package now identifies itself as 1.1.0.
Fixes delayed watch refreshes after Quick Dictate and Stitch saves. When a save is confirmed
while a list, note page or image is still loading, Notesy now refreshes after that request
finishes instead of missing the update. Delayed append confirmations also refresh the open note.
Update Notesy from the Pebble Appstore or open the attached PBW with Pebble on your phone.
Existing pairing, settings and pending captures are preserved. No Mac service change is needed.
49 automated tests pass; Basalt and Emery builds succeed. Compiled Emery regression checks
reproduce and verify saves during list loading and appends during reader loading. This update
has not yet been tested on a physical watch. The release remains a public beta.
