What is new in Pizzinu 1.3.0

## What's new

- **New theme: Lifelike.** A sticky note as if photographed on the wall: the adhesive strip at the top, the paper lifting off and catching the light below an uneven glue line, faint creases, a slightly raised bottom-left corner and a warm shadow that widens where the paper comes away.
- **Text color.** Choose the ink of each note from the note menu (Text Color) or from the color picker: Graphite, Black, Pen Blue, Red, Green, Sepia. New notes write in a soft dark gray (Graphite) instead of black.
- **Taped** and **Clipped** themes: same soft paper as the Soft theme, a glossy clear tape and a real aluminium paper clip with all its loops.
- The pin always sits on the visible corner of the paper, on every theme and at any size.
- The alarm-clock button is no longer clipped on tilted notes; the reminder badge uses the same symbol as the buttons; the color dot has a ring so it stays visible on any paper.
- Fixed the color picker sometimes showing blank white squares in Dark Mode.

**Already using Pizzinu?** It offers the update by itself, or choose **Check for Updates…** from the menu. Your notes stay where they are.

Requires a Mac with Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. The app is not notarised: the first time, open it via System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
