Keep It<\/a> 2.9 is now available. This version updates Keep It for macOS 27 Golden Gate, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, allows pasting Markdown text into notes, adds twenty new Shortcuts actions and makes improvements to others, along with improvements to bookmarks import and search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

macOS 27 Golden Gate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keep It has been updated for Liquid Glass on macOS 27 Golden Gate, ensuring that icons are only used in menus when relevant, and improves the appearance of date pickers in the saved search editor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Keep\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keep It automatically benefits from other macOS 27 changes such as sharper app icons, improved toolbar buttons, and the restoration of the separated sidebar, accent colors in the sidebar, toolbar backgrounds, and the tighter window corner radii of previous macOS releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS 27 and iPadOS 27<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similar to the Mac version, on iPad, icons are only shown in menus when relevant, and on both iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, Keep It benefits from changes to Liquid Glass, with improved buttons and sidebar appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paste Markdown as formatted text in notes by choosing Paste as Markdown from the Edit or contextual menu. This is useful, for example, when pasting text from sources such as AI agents. Your existing note styles will be used, same as when Keep It converts Markdown files to notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there are improvements when converting Markdown files that contain tables, and on iOS \/ iPadOS Keep It can now more reliably match header styles to its own note styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortcuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since Keep It 2.7, its Shortcuts actions have transitioned to a new architecture compatible with Spotlight on macOS Tahoe, and Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 Golden Gate and iOS 27 \u2014 this transition is completed in Keep It 2.9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a new \u201cFind Items\u201d action where you can build a search based on a set of filters with more flexibility than before, particularly for names and dates. The old version of this action is renamed to \u201cGet Items (Legacy)\u201d and will be removed in a future release. To supplement this there is a new \u201cGet Items from Folder\u201d action, which can get all the items in the folder and optionally its nested folders and bundles\u2014the \u201cFind Items\u201d action will only match on the exact folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For lists, the new \u201cFind Lists\u201d action provides similar functionality, and will also replace \u201cFind Folders\u201d and \u201cFind Bundles\u201d. The old versions of these have all been marked as \u201cLegacy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monolithic \u201cSet Properties on Item\u201d action will be replaced with the following discrete actions, which are a much better fit when using natural language creation in Shortcuts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
