Version History This update brings a refreshed look and a few useful improvements and fixes:

- Updated beorg's interface for Liquid Glass.
- Added "Create Headline" as a new Shortcuts action. Headlines created using a shortcut are safely added after you next open beorg and sync, helping avoid conflicts with changes made on other devices.
- Fixed an issue where new items created from templates using a crypt tag weren’t automatically encrypted.
- Fixed an issue where opening a file using the beorg URL scheme would use the old outliner instead of the new outliner. 2026.10 Sep 29 This release builds on the new outliner, adds a few quality-of-life improvements to beorg and fixes some bugs.

+ Creating a new file on the Files tab will also open it
+ The new outliner now accepts pasted OPML and text in the same way as the old outliner
+ When editing notes, or a file's preamble, in the outliner buttons from the Scheme variable ~outliner-notes-toolbar-items~ will be shown
+ Long-press the add button at the bottom of the outliner to paste content
+ Checkboxes in the outliner can now be toggled with a tap, when the notes aren't being edited
+ A new floating button (bottom left) in the outliner toggles between making the headline and notes text read-only. This makes working with outlines where you want to just toggle checkboxes, modify state, etc easier as it prevents accidentally showing the keyboard
+ The refile extension can now refile to the top of the file, and to the top (via a long-press) of the selected headline's children
+ The timer extension is now accessible in the outliner by long-pressing a headline
+ You can now group search results by date (e.g. ~group:scheduled~ or ~g scheduled~)
+ Fixes for a few timer related bugs
+ Fix for quick capture on Files tab if you are in a folder opening the item editor instead of the outliner
+ Some search fixes 2026.9.1 Sep 21 This is a big update to beorg!

The new outliner is now used across the app for new users, and existing users can choose to enable it. It replaces both the old outliner and item editor, giving you a more consistent way to create and edit tasks, take notes, use quick capture and work with your Org files.

Also in this update:

* Subfolders are now much easier to enable from Settings, and are enabled by default for new users.
* Box sync now supports subfolders.
* A new Refile extension lets you move one or more headlines to another location in the same file or a different file. Refile is available as an individual purchase or as part of beorg Premium.
* Files can now be moved between folders from the Files tab.
* Finally! Tapping a notification now takes you straight to the task.
* Swipe from right to left on the Agenda or Tasks tab to quickly switch a task between TODO and DONE.
* Fixed quick action templates from the app icon not working.
* A few other fixes and improvements. 2026.9 Sep 9 In this release:

+ Many updates to the new 'experimental' outliner, which can be enabled from the Customize settings screen (or using the Scheme variable ~outliner-use-new-outliner~).
+ You can choose how beorg opens selected headlines in the Customize settings screen.
+ Fix for the item editor not allowing you to select sub-items if the file is read only.
+ Fix for the text editor allowing editing of read only files.
+ Fix for deleting files still cropping up in search results. 2026.8 Jul 28 • If a headline has a repeat with habit minimum/maximum ranges, the first value will now be used to advance the date when it is marked as done. For example, SCHEDULED: “2026-07-06 Mon .+2d/4d”, when marked as complete on 2026-07-08, will be advanced to 2026-07-10 rather than 2026-07-12.

• Building on the above, if a headline has the STYLE property set to habit, the item will become overdue only after the maximum range has passed. For example, a headline with SCHEDULED: “2026-07-03 Fri .+2d/4d” will appear as overdue on 8 July, but not on 7 July—the fourth and final day on which the habit should be completed.

• Fixes some places where agenda-file? and tasks-file? were not being consulted when constructing an agenda or task list, including in the widget and some searches. These are Scheme functions intended for advanced users who want to exclude certain files from the agenda and task list. 2026.7 Jul 17 Behind the scenes, beorg now uses Apple’s modern package management system instead of an older third-party solution. It’s not a change you’ll notice directly, but it simplifies development, helps future-proof the app, and should make it easier to keep everything running smoothly into the future.

Also in this release are some fixes for bugs related to the last update:

+ Fix for WebDAV sync sometimes failing
+ Fix for space being added before '/' when constructing a saved search
+ Fix for app not syncing when foregrounded/backgrounded or importing new share sheet captures 2026.6 Jun 30 + Sync should now be faster, especially if you have lots of files and/or use Dropbox sync
+ Fix for repeated reminders not working as expected if you select a future repeat in the agenda
+ Updated the Box SDK (used for Box sync)
+ Fix for search bar when selecting a file for an item on the iPad
+ If you've enabled "Sync Calendar to a file" beorg will now try and stop duplicates of certain types of entry appearing (this is usually birthdays or observances coming from multiple calendars) 3.39.3 Jun 24 + Speed up sync
+ Fix for the ~agenda-exclude-files~ variable not being considered when viewing your agenda in the Apple Watch app or the widget. 3.39.2 May 1 beorg 3.39.0 had a problem with filenames containing the ':' character, and possibly others. beorg 3.39.1 fixes the issue that was preventing users with those files from starting beorg properly.

# beorg 3.39.0

This update includes a significant enhancement to the search function. You can now create more complex search expressions using Boolean operators. For example:

/(state:TODO OR state:WAITING) AND NOT tag:shopping (find all TODO/WAITING headlines lacking the tag shopping)

You can also do more with dates, e.g.:

/NOT state:DONE AND date:today..+1w (find all non-DONE headlines with any date between today and 7 days time)

This new search uses the internal database beorg creates of all your .org files. This makes it much faster than the old search which had to parse each .org file and try matching headlines. A search that may have taken a few seconds before, should now complete in a fraction of the time.

As this new search has a different syntax you need to start your search with the / character. You can get beorg to add that automatically in the search bar from the Customize UI or via a Scheme variable.

Also in this update:

+ If you are editing an item when you put the app into the background a sync will no longer happen.
+ New setting (in Scheme or Customize UI) so that beorg will only sync when you explicitly tell it to (`sync-manual`).
+ New setting (in Scheme or Customize UI) to set the WebDAV Depth when syncing subfolders. Change this if your WebDAV server doesn't allow Depth to be 'infinity'.
+ Fix for Scheme searches not working.
+ Fix for swiping down to dismiss item editor preventing updating of agenda/tasks list. 3.39.1 Apr 22 This update includes a significant enhancement to the search function. You can now create more complex search expressions using Boolean operators. For example:

/(state:TODO OR state:WAITING) AND NOT tag:shopping (find all TODO/WAITING headlines lacking the tag shopping)

You can also do more with dates, e.g.:

/NOT state:DONE AND date:today..+1w (find all non-DONE headlines with any date between today and 7 days time)

+ New setting (in Scheme or Customize UI) to set the WebDAV Depth when syncing subfolders. Change this if your WebDAV server doesn't allow Depth to be 'infinity'.
+ Fix for Scheme searches not working.
+ Fix for swiping down to dismiss item editor preventing updating of agenda/tasks list. 3.39.0 Apr 21 There was a bug in 3.38.0, which is fixed in this release 3.38.1:

+ Fix for editing a date, but no other changes, in item editor not actually saving the change.

In 3.38.0:

+ In the item editor long pressing a date now includes a remove option.
+ BiwaScheme has been updated to 0.8.3. 3.38.1 Feb 18 + In the item editor long pressing a date now includes a remove option.
+ BiwaScheme has been updated to 0.8.3. 3.38.0 Feb 17 + The Customize extension now has a search bar so you can more quickly search for and locate settings.
+ New Scheme setting `agenda-show-future-repeats`. By default this is #t (the current behavior) which for items with repeat dates shows the next and future items. If #f then only the next is shown.
+ Fix for search bar 'add search' button showing when it shouldn't. 3.37.0 Jan 16 + The item editor can be swiped down to dismiss if no changes. This behaviour does mean that the item editor is no longer full screen on phones, however this behavior can be changed by setting ui-item-editor-phone-fullscreen to #t.
+ If a search starts with a '(', which indicates a Scheme search, then no search will take place until the search ends with a ')'.
+ The agenda day quick capture + buttons can now use a default template, if you have one set, when populating the item editor. There are two new Scheme variables associated with this ~agenda-day-quick-capture-use-default-template~ and ~agenda-day-quick-capture-date-type~. 3.36.0 11/06/2025 This release contains a new feature suggested by a user, as well as a bug fix for a long-standing issue (since 2017!) with how beorg parsed TODO keywords it didn't recognise. Thanks to both of these users for getting in touch and helping to improve beorg!

+ New Scheme variable ~filter-include-notes~ so that a simple search in beorg will always look at both the headline and notes when matching. For example "birthday" will look for the text birthday in an item's headline and notes, and not just the notes. This is turned off by default.
+ New search syntax addition. You can now use 'h' to match only the headline, useful if you have ~filter-include-notes~ set to #t.
+ Fix for headlines which contain an unknown TODO keyword. Now the TODO keyword is parsed by beorg, and you no longer end up with strange things happening if you update another task.
+ New Scheme variable ~org-overdue-includes-scheduled~. Historically beorg has considered incomplete items with a past scheduled date to be overdue, which is not the behaviour in Emacs. Set this to #f if you don't want the scheduled date to be used when considering if an item is overdue. 3.35.0 09/12/2025 + Fix for iCloud sync not always picking up on changes
+ Some visual updates to Agenda and Tasks tabs 3.34.0 08/27/2025 + New customize setting to tell beorg to open web links in your system browser rather than the internal browser (or set ~beorg-use-external-browser~ Scheme variable)
+ On the Settings tab is a new button "Remove All Files and Reset Sync". This will remove all downloaded .org files, delete all version backups, clear the internal database, remove any cached files containing your data and deauthorize/reset the sync.
+ beorg finally works much better with dynamic type. If you've set your device to have a larger or smaller font size, you'll see beorg adjust it's font size to match.
+ Speed up Notes and Files tabs.
+ More control over which files are used to create the Agenda and Tasks tabs. Redefine agenda-file? and tasks-file? Scheme functions to return ~#f~ if a file should be ignored. For example ~(define (tasks-file? file) (not (string-prefix? file "org-roam/")))~ will ignore all files in the org-roam directory when listing the tasks on the Tasks tab.
+ The Scheme variables ~agenda-include-reminders~, ~agenda-include-calendar~, ~tasks-include-reminders~ and ~tasks-include-calendar~ can be used to configure whether or not reminders and calendar entries are included on these tabs.
+ Some UI improvements.
+ Fix for editing dates of reminders.
+ (Early access) read-only support for file: and attachment: links to images and other previewable content. This content will only be downloaded, and then cached locally, when requested. This is early access functionality which will be worked on over the coming months. Currently only iCloud, Dropbox and WebDAV are supported. 3.33.0 07/10/2025 + Widget custom searches will now include reminders
+ Improve VoiceOver in outliner (fix issue where would focus on a button which shouldn't exist)
+ The files tab now shows the number of items (files and folders) 3.32.0 06/02/2025 + You can now long-press file, state, priority and dates in the item editor to quickly set those properties
+ Added %second% expansion for use with templates, etc
+ Customize UI changes are now saved without you needing to go back to the main Settings
+ Filtering on Files tab now uses TITLE for matching in addition to filename
+ Sync now ignores sub-second time differences when comparing local and remote files
+ Fix for disabling creation to org reminders file 3.31.0 04/11/2025 This update includes a new beorg extension to sync your Reminders, from the Reminders app, to a file. This works in a similar way to the "Sync Calendar to a File" extension. Syncing is one way - i.e. when the extension is enabled a .org file will be created, which beorg will sync to your cloud storage service, containing your current Reminders. Modifying the file won't affect the reminders. The purpose of this is if you use your .org files, for example, in Emacs and would like to see your Reminders in your agenda.

Also in this update are some improvements to how Reminders are shown in beorg:

+ The Reminder priority will now be shown on the Agenda and Tasks tab 3.30.0 11/26/2024 - A new advanced customization user interface which allows many tweaks to be made to beorg which before required an init.org file. This is a beorg extension available to beorg Premium subscribers or if you purchase the extension.
- Greater flexibility over how .org files are formatted with respect to blank lines before a new headline. 3.29.0 10/31/2024 We’ve made some updates to the beorg iOS app to improve your experience. Below are the bug fixes and enhancements included in this release.

+ You can now disable notifications for tasks with a date, but no time. See "Include all day tasks?" on the Settings tab.
+ Fix for use of expansion macros (such as %year%) when applying a template to a new item using the beorg URL scheme.

Thank you for using beorg! We truly appreciate the support from our users, especially those who have purchased extensions or subscribed to beorg Premium, as it helps us continue to improve and enhance the app for everyone. 3.28.1 08/22/2024 + Yet another fix for the widget - this time a fix for when an item title is truncated and stops further items from showing. 3.27.6 07/30/2024 This release contains a bug fix for filenames which use the affliated title keyword and additional spaces were present. 3.27.5 07/09/2024 Fix for links causing issues with not displaying all tasks in agenda widget 3.27.4 07/01/2024
