Version 0.28.1
New Features:
Supercharged Sharing Extensions
In November last year, we introduced basic share sheet functionality for iOS. With this release, we’ve upgraded the experience so that adding media files, text, messages, and other content from outside Anytype into your space can be done with just a few taps. The following can now be added to Anytype using iOS share sheet:
* URLs from browser
* Selected texts
* Screenshots
* Photos from library
* Images from website
* Files (pdf, zip etc.)
* Content from apps
Experience Gallery Installation Now Supported
It’s now possible to import experiences from the ANY Experience Gallery on iOS! You’re invited to adopt experiences lovingly created by fellow Anytypers on your iOS, or create your own mobile-first experiences to contribute to the Gallery.
Improvements:
Select & Multi-Select UX Improvements for Relations
We’ve introduced a series of upgrades to improve the UX of editing and managing relations directly from Objects. To access these upgrades, open an Object with Relation-type: Object, Tag, or Status. After doing so, you’ll now find a circular indicator showing which relations have been added to the Object.
From here, you can long-tap the Relations and see the option to Open, Duplicate, or Delete. Next to Tag and Status relations, the circular indicator will also have a number which shows the order in which the selected Relations appear in the target Object. By tapping and untapping these indicators, you can adjust the order of your Tag & Status relations.
Simplified UX for Relation-Editing
Editing the Relations of an Object has never been easier. Whether from Set/Collection view, Featured Relations, the Relations Panel, or Editor view, tap any Relation where it appears, and you’ll see a half-screen menu which can be used to edit the Relation value, without needing to open further windows.
Empty State for Featured Relations Updated
To improve the management of Featured Relations, Objects with Featured Relations that have no value, now show the Relation name.
Confirmation Screen Implemented for Relation Deletion
When deleting a relation, you’ll now be presented with a confirmation screen before the action is completed.
Tag & Status Creation Screen redesigned
As a further improvement to Relations management on mobile, the screen for creating Tags & Statuses has been redesigned for greater simplicity.
Object-Type Menu Redesign
When long-holding the plus button, you will notice that the Types menu has now been grouped into categories: Pinned, List, and Objects. By long-pressing any Type in this menu, you’ll see the options to either ‘Pin’ the Type or ‘Use as Default’.
Pinned Objects Menu
Continuing from the above: pinned Types will show up first in your Type Selection menu when for instance, changing the Object Type.
Dutch Language Added to Interface Options
Thanks to everyone who contributed to Dutch translation, our Dutch-speaking community can now navigate the iOS interface in their native language!

Changes: Dec 22, 2023
Version 0.27.0
Happy December, Anytypers! To celebrate a great year, we’re happy to announce one final release to cap off 2023. With that, we wish you a very happy festive season and a great start to 2024.
Here’s what’s in store:
New Features:
- Backlinks v1: Now live!
Backlinks and forward links have been implemented as relations on all platforms, and can be found in the relations panel of any object.
By default, if an object already has backlinks, the backlinks will be displayed as a featured relation, indicating the number of backlinks and - when clicked the linked objects. If an object has no backlinks, the relation will not be featured, but can be located in your relations panel.
- Object Creation from Widget
It’s now possible to create new objects directly from the widgets you’ve added to your homsecreen. Slide left to reveal the new widget + button. Any objects created in this manner will automatically be added to the widget you’ve selected.
- Configurable Network Settings
Configurable settings for self-hosting and local-only mode for your data have been introduced on all platforms! To change your sync settings, log out of your account and tap the settings wheel in the top right of the window. There, you’ll see options to choose Self-hosting or Local-only.
Improvements:
- Redesigned Navigation Panel
The navigation panel has been redesigned for a sleeker experience in line with SwiftUI standards. A back button has been added to the navigation panel, meanwhile the search button is only visible from the homescreen, and replaced with a widget (homescreen) button in object view.
- Set & Collection creation now supported in Editor
By using the /set or /collection commands, you can create a new set or collection from mobile.
- Grouping added to Recently Edited / Recently Opened Widgets
For easier navigation, when opening Recently Edited or Recently Opened widgets, your objects will be grouped according to ‘Today’, ‘Yesterday’, ‘Previous 7 days’ and ‘Older’.
- Sharing Extension Contextual Tips Implemented
For users creating bookmarks or sharing links in the app, we’ve implemented some tips that indicate how to install the iOS sharing extension for easier copying of web content to Anytype.
- Redesigned App Update Popup
For outdated versions of the app, we’ve redesigned the popup prompt to remind users to update versions.
Bug fixes
- Fixed: Sharing extension button now works more smoothly and does not automatically open Anytype app
- Fixed: Opened .jpg files no longer reupload as larger .jpeg files (Thanks, Phoebus!)
- Fixed: Profile image no longer is distorted after upload
Anytype: Secure Notes version 0.26.0
Updated At: 2023-11-21
Changes: Nov 21, 2023
Version 0.26.0
Hello, Anytypers! Throughout September and October, we were hard at work putting together this release, packed with new features to carry you right through to the holiday season.
Here’s what’s in store:
New Features:
- Multispaces
They’re here! The crowning jewel across all platforms for this release is the introduction of multispaces, which will allow you to separate which objects, widgets, and eventually - users - comprise your space.
Spaces are synced across your devices, and you can toggle between them by selecting your profile image in the bottom navigation bar. To manage your space settings, including default object type, wallpapers, storage and deletion, tap the space widget at the top of your homescreen.
- Sharing Extension
iOS share sheet has also been delivered with this release, permitting you to share text or URL content directly to Anytype. Text can be saved as either new Note objects or text blocks within an existing object. URLs meanwhile, can be saved as new Bookmark objects or text blocks within an existing object. You’ll be prompted to select the target space and object when using the share sheet function.
Improvements:
- Redesigned Settings Menu for Sets & Collections
Tapping the settings menu in any set or collection now opens a sleek, minimal menu with options to adjust the view name, or open sub-menus to manage the view type, displayed relations, filters, and sorts.
- Default Type selection now possible for Collections & Sets by Relation
For Collections & Set by Relation, tapping the down caret next to the ‘New’ button will allow you to adjust which type is implemented by default when creating new objects. Tapping on any type will open a preview of all templates you’ve created for that type, which you can also select from this menu. Finally, you can also select ‘edit’ from this menu to edit or duplicate any of your existing templates.
- First version of localized iOS interface
Thanks to the help of our contributors, six new languages are available on the iOS interface! These include: simplified Chinese, Indonesian, Norwegian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, and Ukrainian. If you’d like to contribute to the translation of your own native language on mobile, you can get started here!
Bugs fixes:
- Fix navigation view appearing in editor.
- Shake to undo sensitivity improvements.
- Link to object (Note) does not display the name.
- Unable to make changes in object after opening object settings.
- Project object preview has an incorrect icon.
- Editor’s loading / shimmering state has a light background color.
- Code blocks don't show the right language.
- Copy/pasting a toggle block only pastes the header
Anytype: Secure Notes version 0.25.1
Updated At: 2023-09-20
Changes: Sep 20, 2023
Version 0.25.1
Greetings, Anytype iOS fans! This month, we’re shipping several little polishes to make the iOS experience smoother, as we prep for some big drops in our next releases.
Here’s what’s in store:
*New Features:*
- Default types & templates now supported in Collections & Sets-by-Relation
Your default object type (and its default template) will now be applied to objects newly created in collections and sets-by-relation. This update is part of a larger project to make template and type management intuitive on iOS, so expect more updates here in our next release.
*Improvements:*
- Deleted Objects Visible in Read-Only Mode
It’s now possible to open and preview objects that have been moved to bin. Deleted objects will show a trash can icon in the object header, and must be restored in order to edit.
- Updated Onboarding Flow
We’ve adjusted the text and sequence of the onboarding flow to make it simpler for users creating new Anytype accounts on mobile, with an emphasis on the Recovery Phrase.
- Icon placeholders removed from all search screens
Previously, objects with no icon would show a placeholder icon in search menus. These placeholder icons have now been removed for minimal clutter.
*Fixes:*
- Login problems fixed
Anytype: Secure Notes version 0.24.1
Updated At: 2023-08-18
Changes: Aug 18, 2023
Version 0.24.1
Happy mid-August, Anytypers!
This month, we’ve focused on delivering some serious upgrades to your templates workflows on iOS, in addition to a few polishes and fixes. Let’s go!
New Features:
Templates can now be previewed & selected from sets
Upon opening any set, you’ll find that the ‘New’ button to create objects now has a new toggle button on its right. By tapping on this toggle, you’ll open a menu which displays previews of all templates that you’ve created for this type.
From here, you can select the template you wish to proceed with (including a ‘blank’ template).
Introduction of editing & duplicating options for templates
From the above menu you can long-press any template preview, which will generate a new menu which gives you the options to edit or duplicate the template. Tapping ‘Edit template’ will open the template in the editor, and any changes you make will be synced on all devices.
In case you like the structure of one of your templates and just want to have a slightly modified option, you can tap ‘Duplicate’ which will, as the name implies, create a duplicate of the template you’ve selected.
Default templates can be defined for each set view
In addition to the ‘edit’’ and ‘duplicate’ function, you can also choose whether you’d like to apply a template by default to the given set view. This means that each time you create a new object from set, the default template will be auto-applied.
Introduction of Recently Edited widget
Previously you had the option of ‘Recents’ as a widget, which displayed recently opened objects on your device, and was not synced to other devices. Now, you can choose between ‘Recently Opened’ if you’re fine with the current functionality, or alternatively, you can choose ‘Recently Edited’ as a widget source. Note that only the latter option will be synced cross-device due to the distributed nature of the application.
Improvements:
Colorful recovery phrase
We’ve injected a dose of color to your recovery phrase screen for purposes of 1) joy and 2) greater consistency with the desktop experience.
Introduced limits on text in recovery phrase input field
It is no longer possible to input an infinite string of text in the recovery phrase window - we have introduced limits of 12 words with maximum 8-characters each, whose standards are consistent with those of the BIP-39 protocol used to generate user recovery phrases.
Fixes:
Fixed: Deleted files now appear in the bin.

Anytype: Secure Notes version 0.23.4
Updated At: 2023-07-19
Changes: Jul 19, 2023
Version 0.23.4
The crowning feature of this release is our new onboarding flow, which has been designed to orient new users with the concepts of spaces, identities, and fundamentals regarding how we protect your data.
While this flow is primarily targeted towards new users who are experiencing Anytype for the first time on iOS, veteran users will also notice some snazzy updates to the interface upon logging in and out of the app.
