Hello Everyone!

Today's release is focused on making Legend safer and more predictable in daily use, with fixes for Google Calendar, pop-up pane functionality, Google Drive attachments, dates, links, hotkeys, and several community-reported issues.

Google Calendar Confirmations – Legend now asks before making changes that can affect synced Google Calendar events, including moving or deleting events. We are moving to 'prompt' permission by default; you can always set it to 'write' (edit w/o prompting) in calendar settings. Calendar change confirmation

• Calendar changed prompts may get annoying; we recommend creating a Legend Calendar under your account and setting Editable: yes for fast date creation and editing without impacting external-facing calendar events

  

Google Drive Permission Reliability – Google plugins are now enabled based on the access actually granted to Legend, not just the access requested. If Drive access is missing or invalid, Legend now shows clearer guidance instead of opening a broken picker. Drive picker fails on the second account. Known issue: Electron package update required for desktop (ETA 5/24).

Fix: Gmail Account Switching & Sign-in Electron - In-App browser Google authentication links now stay inside the Electron webview instead of opening the system browser. This bug prevented adding email accounts and switching to other emails when using Gmail from the in-app browser.

Fix: Insert Dates at Cursor – Adding a date from the right-click menu now inserts it at the cursor position instead of the end of the item, and dates added at the start of an item no longer add an extra leading space. Date insertion spacing

Fix: Popup Pane Reliability – Popup panes now handle multi-select actions correctly, keep typing after indenting, and support hotkeys while working inside a popup pane. Popup pane issues: multiselect, hotkeys, typing after indent

Fix: Links in Notes and Sticky Notes – Note links now insert correctly when pressing Enter, and existing sticky note URLs can be opened, cleared, removed, or edited more reliably. Link management in sticky notes links

Hotkey Improvements – Added expand hotkey support, enabled Ctrl+L, and now reject duplicate hotkey assignments to make shortcuts more predictable. Hotkey improvements

Tag and Command Palette Polish – Tags now render with their custom colors, and long tag names no longer break the command palette layout. Tag colors and long tag names

Fix: Calendar Dated Items in Outline/List – Items with dates no longer disappear from Outline or List view after calendar filters were changed in Calendar view.

Fix: Inferred Overview Headers – Overview headers using inferred hierarchy now stay visible after the document loses focus, and inferred-only headers correctly show their chevron.

Fix: Pane Tombstones and Deletion Reliability - Deleted panes now sync correctly across devices, rather than returning or remaining visible after deletion. Permanently deleted panes and documents also clear out more reliably, and deleted items disappear from Trash after permanent deletion completes. Extra Panes Syncing

Fix: Google Auth in Electron Browser Pane – Google authentication links now open inside the Electron webview instead of unexpectedly opening a separate browser window. Known Issue: passkey is not supported, and some flows still go to the system browser.

Highlight Rename – Rename 'highlight across all panes' to ' show in all panes.' Highlight across panes rename

Fix: Add Item Button Alignment – The “Add item” button icon and text now align properly.

Fix: Document Item Counts – Deleting items no longer double-decrements document counts, so item totals stay accurate after deletion. Item count after delete

As always, thanks for being part of the beta community. Please keep reporting issues and suggestions in the forum.

Hello everyone!
Today's release features a bunch of mobile improvements, speed improvements, bug fixes, and minor desktop improvements. In March, we will pilot a different sync-merge strategy and drill down on final performance improvements.

Release Summary v02.2026

• Mobile link editing with a bottom sheet, fix broken/invalid link flows,

• Prevent keboard from hiding when adding items

• Permanent document deletion

• Resizable overview panel

• Open links in an existing Pane, new Pane, or system browser

• Use Beta in Mobile

• Fix: plugin links opening on Android

• Fix: Board and pane removal is being reverted by other clients

• Fix: virtual list hang

• Fix: collapse matches filter not being triggered on non-text filters

Release Details

Use Beta on Mobile. You can now toggle to the Legend Beta directly from your mobile settings. Get early access to the latest features and help shape what's coming — flip it on anytime, and back off just as easily.

Edit Links on Mobile: Tapping a link on mobile now opens a clean bottom sheet for creating or editing it — no more broken flows or losing your cursor position. This works on both iOS and Android. We also fixed an issue where an invalid cursor selection could occur when saving a link from the sheet.

🔗 Open Links in Legend / System Browser. On desktop, wevb link can now be opened directly into the built-in Browser Pane with a modifier click. Shift+click opens in a new Browser Pane; check out the hover tooltips, which guide you so you always know which behavior to expect. Reported issue: Open regular links in Browser Pane

🗑️ Permanently Delete documents. Documents deleted from Trash are now removed from clients.

↔️ Resizable Overview Panel. The document overview panel on the left is now draggable — resize it to exactly the width you want, and Legend will remember your preference across sessions. Double-click the handle to reset to the default.

Android: Full Link & Mirror Support Links and mirrors now work fully on Android — creating, editing, and navigating them all behave consistently with iOS. Plugin links (such as Shortwave) are also clickable again in the mobile app. Reported issue: Creating links in Android app doesn't work Problem with plugin links (particularly Shortwave links) in Android

Fix: Keyboard Disappearing on Mobile. The on-screen keyboard was being dismissed unexpectedly when adding new items on mobile. This no longer happens — focus and keyboard state are maintained correctly through the add flow.

Fix: Stale Cut on Mobile. A bug that left stale text in the clipboard after cutting on mobile has been resolved. Cut operations now correctly clear and replace the clipboard content. Reported issue: Cutting item note text in Android mobile is cutting underlying item

Fix: Collapse Filter on Non-Text Filters. The "Collapse matches of filters" setting was only triggering when a text filter was active. It now correctly fires when icon- or tag-only filters are applied, so collapsing behaviour is consistent regardless of filter type. Reported issue: Apply "Collapse matches of filters" setting behavior to all filter changes

Fix: Virtual List Hang An edge case where the scroll position recalculation loop could hit an undefined value — causing the list to hang — has been fixed. Scrolling through large documents and pop-up panes should now stay responsive. Reported issue: Slowness when opening popup panes from the Find window

Fix: Board Removal from Folder. Removing a board from a folder was sometimes silently reverted on the next sync. The removal is now persisted correctly across clients.

Hello Everyone,

We have just released the sync upgrade to production after two months of testing. This upgrade brings us to the latest LegendState release, and

The release removes various one-off band-aid fixes for specific scenarios, like expand/collapse, user-change undos, and more. Going forward, we will focus on solving the problems directly at the sync layer (LegendState).

Based on our months-long testing, the release is an overall improved experience, but there are still some UNDO instances. The sync failures are difficult to reproduce, so please let us know if you encounter them, especially if you can reproduce them.

-Yonz

Hello everyone!

4. Fix: Board Dragging Fix

   A user‑reported issue where board dragging wasn’t taking effect and caused a visual glitch has been fixed. Dragging lists or cards should now behave correctly and feel more snappy. Reported Issue: Side bar visual glitch

   

5. Fix: Scope respecting filters & Agenda View

   Whether you are zoomed in on a particular section or on a single document, matches are now restricted to items in the view.

8. Fix: Zoom‑Out to inferred parent
   The zoom‑out hotkey now takes you to the correct parent item when inferred hierarchy is enabled in settings (indented hierarchy works as expected).

9. Fix: Collapse‑State Fixes - A bug that caused overview sections to sometimes display the wrong collapsed/expanded chevron state after collapsing or expanding items has been fixed.

10. Fix: Multi-day event date chip updated: Multi‑day events now display correct date ranges in the date chip, making multi‑day tasks clearer.

Release Details

Items in multiple tags fixed to show up under all relevant tags
Items with multiple tags or contacts used to only appear under the first tag when viewed in the group by tags/contacts view. Items will now appear in all tags.
Reported Issue: List Views grouped by tag are showing the items only on the first tag

Agenda showing events without dates
Items without explicit dates somehow had a date value set on them and incorrectly showed up in date‑filtered views (e.g., date:overdue). The agenda and date filters now hide items that don’t have the date marker character (correctly dated), so that only dated items appear.
Reported Issue: Non‑visible dates and date:overdue showing items with no apparent date, and Project showing up in "Today" grouping with no apparent date

Fixes and improved handling for All‑day & multi‑day events
We previously created recurring days for multi-day events, but there were issues with how it appeared in Google Calendar. Change fixes the off‑by‑one‑day mismatches between Legend and Google Calendar and makes explicit end days for shortcuts like Tomorrow 2days, Tomorrow 48hrs now 16hrs , etc
Reported Issues: Calendar syncing/rendering issue causing multiday events to become 1 day event, and Questions About Major Calendar Updates

Popup panel Tab key fix
In pop-up panes, pressing the Tab key would focus the search filter bar instead of indenting items. Reported Issue: When In Pop Up Panel, Tab moves cursor to Filter Box

Improvements to collapse heading
Collapsing an inferred parent now collapses every item that falls under that inferred parent rather than just the first heading. Fixes a problem where an H1 with indented child can not collapse its H2,H3 items that are not indented.

Timed event creation from ‘hr’ duration
When specifying durations like Tomorrow 2hr without an explicit start time, the app now creates a timed event starting at the current hour instead of an all‑day event. For example, typing Tomorrow 2hr at 4:10 PM will create an event starting at 4:10 PM on the specified date.

Explicit “and” operator hides hierarchies
Implemented a requested feature allowing search filters with explicit and, &, or && operators to only match terms within the same item. When these operators are used, parent hierarchies are hidden, enabling more precise filtering.
Reported Issue: Option to restrict filter terms to appear in the same item for advanced searching fixed by Nathan

OPML import error resolved - Try it out with Dynalist, Workflowy Imports
Fixed an issue where OPML imports would hang or fail due to incorrect handling of certain attributes. The import process now aligns with the JSON import logic and correctly imports checkbox state when supported. Note: @date mentions from Workflowy and Dynalist are fixed in the next Beta release, currently loaded as text Eg: Monday, October 20, 2025
Reported Issue: Importing OPML seems to hang. Expected SW updates schedule? fixed by Haile

Date range filtering improvements
Improved date range filters when combining after: and before: clauses for repeating tasks. The filter now tracks the start of a range and ensures that recurring occurrences outside the specified range are excluded, making date filters consistent with the between: syntax.
Reported issue: Between queries ‘after:’ and ‘before:’ bring overdue items fixed by Nathan

Sync undoing local changes - Patch #2 for workaround
We made further improvements on the workaround for users experiencing occasional undoing of typed characters, collapsed/expanded nodes, or reverted drag‑and‑drop actions when syncing. The fix skips remote changes when there are recent local changes to prevent the sync engine from overwriting entries with older data (random undo).
❗️The main fix by Jay (upgrading sync system) is finished, and will be released after Thanksgiving.
Reported Issue: Legend is randomly, occasionally, undoing changes patch by Nathan

Chevron and heading-size based hierarchy improvements
Addressed some issues with outline view chevron, hierarchy, and indents from the previous release. The chevron is now correctly hidden when there are no grandchildren, indentation for inferred headings is improved, and the overview panel indentation updates correctly. The “Infer hierarchy by Heading Size” setting option should now behave correctly.
Reported issue: Document Chevron sidebar bug fixed by Nathan

Vella Email in Legend Fixes (WIP)
The Vella browser plugin is a fully local Gmail client, and we have configured it to be used in Legend with a matching color and a narrow, functional width. This release fixes the dragging issue where the item gets stuck at the boundary, and did not navigate correctly when clicked.
Known issue: Local AI doesn't work in Legend but does in the browser.

It has been a busy month 💪🏽, and we now have a line of sight to a stable Legend build before the end of the year.

Cheers,
-Yonz
