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.
