Every update to the RytePad app, newest first, with the date it went out. The website, the guides and the blog are not listed here.

Latest update: 20 October 2026

Shared notes and the password-reset page are now kept out of search engines. The update before it, on 18 and 19 October, added day dots to the diary, made notes save more reliably and fixed sign-in for email addresses with + or - in them.
