Saphire Mini 1.0

    Released September 28, 2026

    Overview

    Saphire Mini brings a new Lite version of the Saphire app, a productivity hub with built in abilities from ‘Lysti’ such as reminders and notes, along with introducing a lineup of new features. Beautifully designed with apple’s new Liquid Glass design environment to make the Saphire experience elegent throughout the system.

    Design

    •

    Liquid Glass UI across core surfaces introduces depth, translucency, and soft reflections that adapt dynamically to your content.

    •

    Elevated materials, rounded geometry, and subtle shadows create a calm, tactile hierarchy that feels modern and unmistakably elegant.

    •

    Motion is purposeful: micro-interactions, spring timing, and smooth transitions make navigation feel fluid and responsive.

    •

    Typography is adaptive and content-led, using dynamic sizing and weight shifts to guide attention without visual noise.

    •

    Color is used sparingly and intentionally — accent tones highlight actions and state, while neutral backgrounds keep content front and center.

    •

    Components are cohesive and reusable: chips, cards, and capsules share consistent corner radii, spacing, and interaction affordances.

    •

    Haptics complement visuals with gentle taps and confirmations that reinforce intent without distracting from flow.

    •

    Accessibility is built in: high-contrast considerations, large hit targets, and clear labels ensure comfort and clarity for all users.

    •

    Layouts scale gracefully across devices, maintaining rhythm and balance from compact to regular size classes.

    •

    Details feel alive: translucency, blur, and tinting adjust in real time to your content and environment for a sense of presence.

    Reminders

    •

    A focused dashboard shows your reminder lists with quick stats for Total, Today, Late, and Lists, so you can see what matters at a glance.

    •

    Pinned Lists keep your most important collections at the top; pin or unpin with a simple swipe.

    •

    The 'Completed' list is a dedicated, protected list that safely collects finished items and prevents accidental deletion.

    •

    Clean list browsing with quick counts; open any list to view its reminders sorted by due date and creation date.

    •

    Create new reminders from multiple entry points (Home toolbar, Reminders toolbar, or inside a list) for a faster flow.

    •

    Set due dates and times, or keep things undated for flexible planning.

    •

    Recurring reminders support daily, weekly, and monthly schedules; completing one auto-creates the next occurrence.

    •

    Rich detail view lets you add notes, pick a list, set recurrence, and manage due dates without friction.

    •

    Add links to reminders for quick reference; tap any link to open it immediately.

    •

    Safe list deletion automatically re-homes reminders to “Completed” to avoid data loss and further optional deletion.

    •

    Powerful swipe actions on lists: Pin/Unpin, Edit appearance (name, color, icon), or Delete safely.

    •

    Edit list appearance with a streamlined color picker and icon grid to personalize your workspace.

    •

    'Today' view on Home filters reminders due today for instant focus.

    •

    Accessibility built-in with clear labels, large hit targets, and consistent controls.

    Notes

    •

    A clean Notes dashboard surfaces your most recent notes with card previews for quick scanning and jump-in navigation.

    •

    Quick Notes folder is always available as a default capture space and is created automatically if it doesn’t exist.

    •

    Pinned Folders let you keep priority topics at the top; pin or unpin with a simple swipe.

    Folder organization at a glance: each folder shows a live note count to help you gauge activity.

    •

    Create new folders from the toolbar menu to structure projects, topics, or collections your way.

    •

    Swipe actions on folders: Pin/Unpin for priority, or Delete with safety measures to prevent data loss.

    •

    Safe folder deletion re-homes notes to Quick Notes, ensuring your content isn’t lost when reorganizing.

    •

    Folder detail views provide streamlined browsing with titles and compact previews for faster context.

    •

    Quick Notes folder features a spacious grid layout with square note cards for a visual, glanceable workflow.

    •

    Multi-select mode in Quick Notes enables fast batch actions: move selected notes to another folder or delete them.

    •

    Per-note move flow in standard folders lets you send a single note to a different folder with just a tap.

    •

    Note creation is instant from any folder; new notes open directly in the detail view for immediate writing.

    •

    Note detail editor separates the title (first line) from the body for clarity, with autosave on exit.

    •

    Writing Tools above the keyboard adds quick formatting: bold, italic, bullets, checkboxes, and timestamp insertion.

    •

    Accessibility-minded design with large hit targets, consistent controls, and clear labels to keep focus on your writing.

    Unified search across your entire Saphire workspace — Reminders, Notes, Settings, and more.

    •

    Instant results as you type with smart ranking and clean, readable result rows.

    •

    •

    Smart note parsing that uses the first line as the title and the remaining text as the preview for quick scanning.

    •
