  • Finder integration will show Keep as a location in the Finder’s sidebar and Go menu, and in standard Open and Save panels. In this location it is possible to create folders, add, move, rename and remove files and folders, with the changes reflected in Keep It.
  • When using iCloud as well as Finder integration, files will be shown in the Finder whether or not they have been downloaded. By default, Keep It always downloads items, but this can be changed by deselecting “Download all Items” in Advanced preferences. When disabled, the system manages downloads automatically: any app or script accessing the files will prompt them to be downloaded. Files may also be downloaded to perform Spotlight indexing or backup with Time Machine as required. The system may remove downloads if storage is tight or files haven’t been accessed recently. Downloads can also be removed manually in the Finder.
  • Items and folders in Deleted Items will be shown in the system Trash, and moving files or folders to the Trash will move them to Deleted Items in Keep It. Emptying the Trash will remove the items from Keep It also.
  • When using iCloud, changes made to files in the Finder will be saved to iCloud whether or not Keep It is running, but updates from other devices requires the app to be running.
  • To enable Finder integration, choose Keep It > Library > Enable Finder Integration from the menu. Finder integration is enabled by default for libraries created with Keep It 2.0 or later. It will not be enabled automatically for libraries created with Keep It 1.x to preserve compatibility with any external integrations.
  • To disable Finder integration, choose Keep It > Library > Disable Finder Integration from the menu. Keep It will then download any files not on your Mac.
  • In Advanced preferences, enabling “Download all items” will prevent downloads from being removed, and ensure that files are always downloaded when the app starts up. When that setting is disabled, click “Remove All Downloads” to remove all downloads for items that do not have pending changes, are not in use by Keep It, another app, or the system.
  • When Finder integration is enabled, you will need to give Keep It permission the first time you try to open an item (or an attachment on an item) in another application.
  • Shared folders that you do not own, or items in shared folders that you do not own, cannot be moved in the Finder. Attempting to remove an item in a remote shared folder will remove it immediately rather than move it to the Trash.
  • When choosing Stop Using iCloud from the Keep It > Library menu, any files not your Mac will be downloaded first, although this can be skipped. Once iCloud is disabled, any items whose files do not exist on your Mac will be removed.
  • Finder integration cannot be used with custom file locations, and aliases to Keep It’s files will no longer work.
  • As in Keep It 1.x, symbolic links and aliases cannot be added to Keep It via the Finder, whether using Finder integration or a custom location.
  • Sidebar:

  • Organizing Items:
  • File items in a folder or bundle by choosing Item > Quick File from the menu (or ^⌥⌘F). To navigate with the keyboard use the arrow keys, and press Return to choose the selected list. Click the + button to add the items to a new folder or bundle instead.
  • Duplicate one or more items by choosing Item > Duplicate from the menu.
  • See and navigate to notes and other editable text items that link to the current item in the Show In menu, or by clicking the ellipsis button in the Where line of the Info view.
  • When multiple items are selected, clicking Add To Bundle and Move To Folder in the preview area will show a searchable popover instead of a menu.
  • A Quick File toolbar item replaces the Move to Folder and Add to Bundle toolbar items.
  • The optional Label toolbar item in editor windows now shows the color of the label for that item, not the last used label color as in the library window.

  • Search:

  • Ctrl-clicking or right-clicking a suggestion will show alternatives.
  • When searching for multiple words in names and comments the sequence of words is no longer matched exactly unless the search text is enclosed in double quotes. This matches the behavior of content searches.
  • Search for items with checklists or outstanding checklist items.
  • Search for notes, rich text documents, Markdown files and PDFs with highlighted text, and search for a specific term in the highlighted text.
  • Items List:
  • Favorite items can now be shown at the top in both List View and Icon View. Change the setting by clicking the view options button in the toolbar, or by choosing View > Show View Options from the menu.

  • Item List View:
