What's New

Meet Breveto 2: featuring a refined design, dozens of improvements, and now on all your devices!

• Breveto is Now on iOS! — Access your files anywhere, anytime, from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Long press, then drag and drop files to reorder, organize, or trash them. Breveto for iOS has all the features that the Mac version has too!
• Improved Editor Sidebar — Including a new dictionary, and the ability to see all links and attachments in your file.
• Attachments Browser — Click "View All Attachments" in the sidebar options menu to view attachments from all files at once, and search them.
• Improved Sync — iCloud sync is faster, more efficient, and more reliable. Plus, you can now see when Breveto is syncing in the sidebar, and its sync status in the settings.
• Performance Improvements — Faster search, quicker document opens, and improved editor performance with large files.
• Themes — Choose separate themes for light and dark modes. Two new themes, Lime and Blush Eclipse have been added, with improvements across all themes.
• Print Improvements — New redesigned print page, code blocks are highlighted when printing, and you can now set a theme and font size when printing.
• Export — You can now export to TextBundle and RTF. Markdown export has been improved, including correctly exporting todo lists.
• Find & Replace — The active result is now highlighted more clearly, and breveto doesn't unnecessarily scroll when moving between results.
• New Inline Formatting Menu — Format your document by selecting text, or by pressing ⌘K. If you'd like, you can choose to show it at the bottom of the screen at all times in the settings.
• Quick Open — Quickly search and open files with a single swipe or keyboard shortcut. Press ⌘O to show quick open on Mac. On iPhone, swipe from the right edge of the screen to the left while browsing files or while editing a file.
• Updated UI Design — We polished the app's design, and now Breveto looks great on Mac and iOS 26.

Locations are Now Workspaces

Locations have been replaced with workspaces, which let you organize your files into distinct spaces. Breveto has stopped supporting file locations, and everything now syncs with iCloud (learn why we made that decision).

• Removed the 'Improve' button from the AI for the sake of simplicity, since the same can be accomplished using the 'Reword' button

Fixes:
