RTL Language Support

Please add RTL language support
CompletedCompleted

Jul 14, 2025

Closing for now, the RTL setting has been added in the latest App Store release under "Editor".

Jul 10, 2025

Coming in the next beta. A way to force the complete UI to RTL. I hope it improves also the text behavior, but I'm not 100% sure.

90% of the implementation is done, but some bugs remain which are planned for later to be fixed.

I have a solution, but I need help testing it. So far I have identified following language codes: ["he", "ar", "ur", "fa"]. Anything else? Feel free to check this alpha, but make a backup of your data first! https://noteplan.co/download/NotePlan-⁠3-Beta-⁠736-AppStore.… https://noteplan.co/download/NotePlan-⁠3-Beta-⁠736-Setapp.zi…

Eduard Metzger: Would this work for someone with a Setapp subscription? I tried searching quickly, according to Wikipedia, Arabic, Hebrew, Pashto, Urdu, and Sindhi are the most widespread RTL writing systems in modern times. I'm not sure if you're considering top-to-bottom, right-to-left (TB-RL or TBRL) scripts such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. That being said, I'm happy to help test the "he" part and share findings.

Daniel Danilov: For Setapp I better make another beta and post it here. But I think I covered Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu. Sindhi and Pashto I need to check if I can find the appropriate keyboard layout on macOS.

Oh second question. Top-to-bottom maybe later. First lets see if RTL doesn't have some unwelcome side-effects.

Daniel Danilov: Setapp link added to the original message above.

Eduard Metzger: Thanks! I've done some quick testing, overall it's a great step forward! Here are a few situations I've noticed: https://cln.sh/GcZoUhCmx0ArCpWs4eKP - when jumping to English note, everything displays RLT https://cln.sh/91VkqOVIaS8hHh6K33cX - "new task" appears out of screen https://cln.sh/hiVZu4l0z2Z2afPcp37B - empty marked task jumps to the left https://cln.sh/kNLHsOPpR9jpYqwG0xaH - the above is also true for daily notes https://cln.sh/K1f68pALDojusxKnEi5D - English (title) note with Hebrew content appears on the right side, Title should be on the left side. https://cln.sh/SvfQugh15GnYRHWpo1b4 - subtasks not showing visually until content is added https://cln.sh/dyYjDMMFKSSTaqMCkN84 - when entering brackets ]] or [[ - it displays the other way around in RTL. https://cln.sh/4JEmfq2fD61ShDuoRPh7 - the + and dots to manage individual lines appears on the left, which can be hard to match to the correct line. I think it should be on the right. https://d.pr/i/MMhdbN/5l2gk9hA7e - references should also appear on the right on RTL notes I hope this helps!

Daniel Danilov: Thanks! Have fixed a couple of them. Some are a bit hard but one bug remains, completed tasks display a bit incorrectly, still RTL, but with a problem. Will check this out a bit later.
