Roadmap

Named contexts (Personal, Work, Research…) each with their own notes, notebooks, tags, and views. Switch with ⌘⌥1–9. Settings and templates stay global.

Turn on the vault and your note content and image attachments are encrypted at rest and over sync. Off by default; recovery phrase + device keychain unlock.

A "today" surface with templates and a small calendar for navigation. ⌘⇧J jumps there from anywhere.

A vault overview with notebook / tag / status rollups, a year-long writing heatmap, and per-note readability + activity.

Optional 4–8 digit PIN with idle-lock so a borrowed laptop never reveals your notes.

Share a single note as a public read-only link with stable URL, rendered or raw mode, and password-protect option.

Improve / Summarize / Continue on selection with a diff preview before apply. Bring your own key, or run fully local against Ollama. Off unless you turn it on.

A browser extension that hands a clean, Readability-extracted markdown version of any page to NoteLace via a local URL scheme. No firewall popups, no local server.

Slash-separated tags (work/clients/acme) form a real tree in the sidebar; clicking a parent matches every descendant.

Saved filter + columnar projection over your notes. Table, cards, kanban, and calendar layouts share the same filter. Group, sort, and edit inline.

Typed metadata for every note — text, number, date, boolean, list — edited above the body or by hand in the markdown.

Every save snapshots in the background; restore an earlier version of any note with a side-by-side diff.

Bidirectional sync across desktops with conflict-safe replication, attachment self-heal, calm offline states, and clear progress on first-launch fetch.

An optional connector that lets an AI assistant you control read and edit your vault — gated, reversible, and off by default. Your notes stay yours; you choose the assistant.

A read-and-quick-capture mobile surface that syncs with your desktop vault. Currently in design; engineering follows.

Phase B of the encryption work — keep the strong vault, drop the friction. Same keyring, a passkey unlocks it instead of a recovery phrase.

Embed a section (![[Note#Heading]]) or a block (![[Note#^id]]), not just whole notes. The whole-note version already ships today.

A node-based view of your notes — pull a few notes onto a canvas, draw relationships, and use it as a thinking surface alongside the editor.

Beyond the selection toolbar — a vault-aware Q&A sidebar with note-mention chips and inline apply. Embeddings stored locally.

If the mobile companion validates demand. The web/PWA route is the cheapest first step; native follows when it earns it.
