WP Notepad 2.0.0 released (tabs, note expiry, opt-in sync)

Release date: June 17, 2026

WP Notepad 2.0.0 is out. This major update adds multiple notes (tabs), note expiry, and opt-in cross-device sync.

New features

  • Multiple notes via tabs: switch between several notes in one notepad (widget, block and shortcode).
  • Note expiry (TTL): automatically delete notes after a configurable number of days.
  • Cross-device sync (opt-in): for logged-in users, sync via the REST API through their account. Disabled by default; guests stay browser-only.
  • New storage format: notes are stored as timestamped JSON (legacy plain-string notes are read transparently).
  • Settings screen: a sync toggle added under Settings → WP Notepad.

Upgrade notes

  • Existing notes are read as-is (backward compatible).
  • Server sync is off by default — enable it in the admin only if you want it.
