Undo, thirty days later
6 November 2026 · Robert Stollar
The note I needed most was the one I'd already changed.
Building automations, I try things. A workflow plan, rewritten three times. A table of prices, cut down because it looked too long. A paragraph deleted on Tuesday that turns out, on Friday, to be the answer.
Undo doesn't reach that far. Once the app is closed, the old version is gone. And with sync, a mistake on one device travels to all the others. That's exactly what happened to me: an edit on the iPad while it was offline, a table deleted by accident, the app closed. The loss was on its way to the iPhone, and nothing had kept the version before.
Ambitus remembers.
Version History keeps the earlier versions of every note and list for 30 days. Open it, see the note as it was, copy a paragraph back, or restore the whole thing. It lives in your own iCloud, so every device sees the same history.
Recently Deleted does the same for things you've thrown away: a note, a whole folder, a list. Thirty days to change your mind.
For the rest, the record of what worked and what failed, I keep a Time Note: one page a day. Between the two, nothing important has to live only in my memory.
Have you ever lost a version of something you later needed back?
