Version History

Skriuw quietly saves checkpoints of your notes as you work, so you can look back at how a note evolved - or undo a change you regret - without any extra effort.

How it works

As you type, Skriuw saves your progress in the background. It's smart about when to create a new checkpoint: small typo fixes and whitespace tweaks are skipped, and a burst of typing within the same short window is grouped into a single checkpoint instead of dozens. The result is a clean, meaningful timeline instead of noise. Renaming a note, creating it, and restoring an old version all get their own checkpoint too, so those moments are always easy to find.

What you can do

• Browse the timeline - open a note's history to see a graph of checkpoints, newest first, each with a short preview of what changed
• See the difference - every checkpoint shows how many words and characters were added or removed compared to the version before it
• Restore any checkpoint - jump back to an older version of a note in one click
• Track restores - restoring a checkpoint creates a visible fork in the timeline, so you can see exactly when and from where a note was rolled back
• Keep a long memory - Skriuw keeps a generous history of checkpoints per note, so you rarely have to worry about older versions disappearing

Tips

• Use version history to recover a paragraph you deleted by accident, or to see what a note looked like before a big rewrite
• The word/character delta next to each checkpoint makes it easy to spot the moment a note grew or shrank significantly
• Restoring doesn't erase anything - it adds a new checkpoint on top, so you can always go back again

Why use version history?

Notes change over time, and not every change is an improvement. Version history gives you a safety net: write freely, experiment, delete whole sections - knowing that every meaningful past state of your note is still there if you need it back.
