What’s new in Cuewake.

Cuewake 1.2.1 introduces the new File Shelf, a feature inspired by customer feedback. You can now drag files into the notch, keep them close while you work, and drag them into other apps whenever you need them. You can also attach them to a cue for later, without moving the original files.

This update also brings more control over your workspace, including adjustable card text, improved checklists, Markdown export, local backups, and a Recently Deleted section that lets you recover cues for up to 30 days.

Alongside these additions, I've made a bunch of improvements to the Dashboard, reminders, search, file handling, and the overall experience to make Cuewake feel smoother and more reliable.

Added

• File Shelf in the notch for temporarily holding and dragging files between apps

• Adjustable Dashboard card text size from 9–28pt, with a reset option

• Overdue reminders filter in the Dashboard sidebar

• Markdown export for saved cues

• Local backup and restore for missing cues

• Recently Deleted with 30-day recovery

• Option to locate and repair missing file references

• Expanded command search with “Show all matching cues”

Improved

• Checklists with the ability to skip or include individual steps

• Checklist composer that expands to show more steps

• File Shelf selection, keyboard navigation, and animations

• Draft preservation when switching between Composer modes

• Reminder recognition, calendar handling, and snooze reliability

• Language translations and right-to-left layouts

• Thumbnail loading for larger collections

Fixed

• File drops now go to the correct destination instead of unintentionally entering the File Shelf

• Switching Composer modes no longer loses unfinished drafts from other modes

• Improved handling of ambiguous reminder times

• Corrected language-picker selections and alignment issues

• More reliable loading of file thumbnails

Note: Local backups save references to attached files, not copies of the original files.

Cuewake can now give you a gentle hint when you leave a webpage after spending time on it, helping you capture thoughts you might otherwise forget. Capture hints are optional, with timing and frequency controls in Settings.

Typing is getting easier, too. Cuewake can recognize phrases you use often and suggest the rest as you write. Press Tab to accept a suggestion. Everything happens locally on your Mac, without AI or cloud processing.

This update also introduces reusable checklists, eight interface languages, better note editing, improved reminders, and a range of smaller refinements throughout the app.

• Capture hints for recently visited pages

• Local typing completion with Tab acceptance

• Eight interface languages, including Arabic RTL

• Reusable checklists from the dashboard and notch

• Undo deletion with ⌘Z

Improved

• Capture hint timing and frequency controls

• Multilingual reminders and typing completion

• Checklist creation and multiline pasting

• Reminder recognition and details

• Cleaner menu bar icon and More menu

• Peek behavior and full-screen support

• Deletion feedback and Undo interactions

Fixed

• Duplicate notes on different webpages remain separate

• Reminder picker appearing for ordinary notes

• Peek visibility and single-step reveal issues

• Undo availability when deletion feedback is dismissed

Cuewake can now understand reminders written naturally. Type something like “remind me in 30 minutes” or choose a specific date and time, and Cuewake will know when to bring it back.

Timed reminders can also appear from the notch when they’re due, even if you haven’t returned to where you originally left the cue.

This update also makes it easier to save multiple files together, capture links faster, and find your way around a cleaner dashboard.

Added

• Natural language reminders

• Timed reminders in the notch

• Multiple files in one cue

• Faster link capture

Improved

• Cleaner dashboard

• Reminder details

• Controls and visual consistency
