Supernotes 3.2 is out now
Connor and I are super stoked to share this release with you. Over a year of work, we’re proud to introduce Flashcards, Tables & Maps across all our Web, Desktop, Mobile & VR apps, along with a huge amount of quality of life improvements.
Thank you to everyone here on the Community, who’ve been part of this journey with us. We’ve been listening to your feedback and have made a lot of changes to make Supernotes better for everyone. We’re slowly announcing this out across all our platforms, but as dedicated community members you’re hearing about it here first. 3.2 has been thoroughly tested by us & our testers – however since there’s a lot of new features and changes, do let us know if you find any issues and we’ll get them fixed as soon as possible.
Also please share you thoughts below on the new features, we’d love to hear how you’re starting to use them.

3.2 Release Notes
Flashcards & Spaced Repetition
Your most requested community feature is finally here – Spaced Repetition. Add Horizontal rules / Spoilers in your notecards to let them turn them into Flashcards with this new layout. With an easy to use built-in FSRS spaced repetition algorithm helps you save time and only learn the things that really matter. We show you a simplified ‘Recall Probability’ score that let’s you get an quick understanding of how well you know any group of cards. And since Supernotes supports real-time collaboration and sharing you can quickly create decks of cards with your friends to help each other learn.
Table Layout
Quickly see all the cards in a certain area by switching to Table Layout. Unlike other tools this Table layout has been designed to be simple and efficient, adapting to your screen size. Quickly fill out missing icons, titles and tags or use the opt-in ‘Vision’ AI Superpower to suggest properties for you that you can click to confirm – learning them in the process.
Map Layout
A brand new feature for any notes app, Map Layout. It’s often easy to remember where you write a certain note, so we’ve given you a great way to find that note again using a Map. Opt-in to location sharing when you write new notecards and quickly assign addresses to existing ones. Unlimited members can explore all their cards on a Map, and filter by currently viewed cards – switching into Columns layout to explore them in more detail.
Columns Layout
We’ve combined List + Broadsheet Layout into a new ‘Columns’ layout – that’s faster, simpler and more powerful than before. Jump into the new layout with Alt / Option + C and then continue pressing the same keybinding to cycle between the columns. We’ve also brought out commonly used actions such as card display, sorting and more to live above the cards for easy access.
New Desktop Interface
We’ve given our Desktop app some love, simplifying the design by removing the vertical toolbar. Adding new Breadcrumb navigation in the Titlebar to help you quickly jump up your hierarchy. With new back and forward buttons as well so you don’t need to rely on using Cmd / Ctrl + ← / → . The Friends sidebar is back but it’s now on the right! Toggle between Pinned cards or Friends. You can now drag and drop card titles onto Friends to share cards with them. Or quickly tap on a Friend and filter by their cards.
