Deletion
Say hello to our most incredible innovation since object creation: object deletion. Anytype now supports the permanent deleting of objects!
. Moving objects to the bin will remove them from navigation. From the bin, you can choose to select, delete, and restore your objects. This action is irrevocable, so please be careful.
At present, only objects created inside Anytype can be deleted. Other files like media, and those that come with Anytype (types, relations) will be supported in future releases.
New defaults
Speed and convenience are central to this update. Drafts have been replaced with a new default type, the Note. Designed to capture thoughts quickly. You can now choose any type of object as your default type in Settings, so can be Note. An update we hope will provide you with even more customization and workflow options.
Sets creation
You can now create a Set from the dashboard, via + using the bottom-left + button, or even in-line using the / menu. From there, you can choose which type of object your new Set is for. For example, viewing your current projects, or building a reading list of books.
Darkmode
Just in-time for winter, our long-awaited dark mode is here. This feature has graced our devices (and eyes) in recent years, and has really become a way of life for some. Night owls rejoice! To enable dark mode, simply open the Settings pane, navigate to other settings → theme → and choose Dark.
Fresh docs
We’ve launched a brand new hub for Anytype docs. You can find it in the + menu and in the ? icon at the bottom-right of your screen. This is our first draft, and we look forward to your feedback!
Text with link to an object
There was a way to add an arbitrary URL link to a text selection. But now you can make a link to any Anytype object this way. Just select the part of the text, click the link icon and choose! Thanks, Oshyan, for your proposal!
Enhancements
- PDFs now open inside Anytype, with their own file-type for building Sets. You can use the block’s menu in the editor and just click on a file in sets. Thanks, Gabi and Florencia, for your feedback!

- Page, Note, Set, and Task are now featured in type selection. They are the most used types, so they will become more accessible.
