Owl 1.7 - Pinned Notes and Per-Folder Configuration

November 26, 2025

Owl 1.7 introduces pinned notes and per-folder configuration.

You can now pin the notes you reference most often to the top of any folder for quick access. Just use the new pin action in the context menu or menu bar to pin a note, and it'll stay at the top regardless of the note sort order.

We've also added per-folder configuration, giving you fine-grained control over how each folder behaves. Set a custom note sort order for individual folders, and choose whether a folder should include notes from its subfolders. You can configure these options from the context menu or menu bar. And if you prefer, you can still set global defaults in Settings that apply to folders without custom values.

You can find the full list of changes here.

Owl 1.7 is available on the Mac App Store.
