    Choose if you want to see the views (or if you don’t). The new toggle gives you more clarity and control.

  • Ellipsis Menus for Pages

    Finally! A compact menu for every page — just one click for actions like rename, duplicate, or delete.

  • Drag & Drop to Vaults and Contexts

    Drop your items straight into the root of Vaults or Contexts — fast, easy, intuitive.

    A quick way to add items right where you need them, with fresh, clean menus.

  • Horizontal Divider in Context View

    Organize your views with a simple horizontal line and instant access to “Open as Context” or “Pin/Unpin”.

  • Right-click menus now appear on empty areas too

  • Brand-new folder icons (empty vs. full!) + refined folder behavior

  • Updated shortcut for “Paste without formatting”

  • Inbox respects your folders — new items don’t get lost anymore


🐞 Bugs, Begone

  • CMD+Z doesn’t randomly delete your content anymore

  • Search modal stays open even if you open results in background

  • Tree elements behave nicely now when creating or renaming

Let’s get into it 👇


✨ New Feature

🔇 Adblock (finally!)

You asked. We built it. Enjoy a cleaner web experience inside ABLE with our new built-in ad blocker.


🧠 Quality of Life Improvements

⌫ Delete Blocks with Backspace

Now you can quickly remove a block in the editor using the backspace key—just like you’d expect.

We’ve updated all view icons across the app for consistency and visual clarity.

🔗 Better Link Suggestions

When linking content to a view, website items now appear in the Suggestion Block to help you connect faster.

📐 Tighter Layouts

We’ve refined the spacing between the pane container and editor blocks—cleaner, sharper, more pleasant to work in.


🐞 Bug Fixes

  • ✅ YouTube progress bar now works—clicking to seek behaves as expected.

  • ✅ Views now properly appear in the Suggestion Block when linking with Option+L.

  • ✅ No more crashes when dragging a bulleted block into a higher position in another list.

  • ✅ Fixed weird scrolling behavior when returning to a site opened in a background tab.

  • ✅ “Paste” now inserts text into the right block, not the previous one.

  • ✅ Context menu “Paste” now correctly inserts clipboard content.

  • ✅ CMD+Click opens links in a background tab (as it should).

  • ✅ Pressing Enter in the address bar now shows the current URL instead of clearing it.

That’s it for this round! As always, your feedback fuels everything we do—keep it coming.

Stay focused, stay sharp,

— Team ABLE ✨
