Changed

Massive UI/UX Redesign: A completely overhauled, modern design with an improved, smoother dark/light mode experience.

Fixed

Device-Adaptive Dark Mode: Fixed the issue where automatic dark mode switching was inconsistent. The new appearance settings are robust and reliable.

Known Behaviors

Bookmark Folder Default: Since notes are seamlessly synced as bookmarks behind the scenes, Chrome may default your browser's "Save Bookmark" location to the extension's internal folder. This is a side-effect of how Chrome inherently manages bookmarks, ensuring your notes stay synced securely across devices!
