Sorry to hear this. I have removed 1.8.1 from releases and will investigate further tomorrow.

Thanks for reporting this. I've been investigating and have a fix ready, but I need to understand your setup to confirm the root cause.

A few questions:

Do you use Itsypad on more than one Mac? If so, which version was each one running when you updated?
Was iCloud sync enabled in Settings before the upgrade?
Which version were you on before updating to 1.8.1 – was it 1.6.0?
Are the lost notes gone completely, or do they still appear on another device?

The fix I have addresses a specific scenario where CloudKit data from another device overwrites local tabs during the first sync after upgrade. If you only use one Mac with no iCloud sync, the cause might be different, so your answers will help me confirm.

Thank you. Only one mac. Cloud Sync was enabled. Was using 1.6.x.

I have another mac I could use to see if the notes are there, but I'd need to install itsypad on that mac to test.

Alternatively, is there a way for me to retrieve the notes from icloud?

These notes were useful but not critical. I am using itsypad for ephemeral rather than archival, so it's not a big deal.

This is fixed in v1.8.2 – your tabs will be restored automatically when you update. Run brew upgrade itsypad or grab the DMG from the v1.8.2 release.
