Add photos, documents, or other files to any note, so the whiteboard photo or the slide deck sits with what you said about it.
Attaching images and files requires Cleft Plus.

​
Adding an Attachment

  1. Open a note and switch to Edit mode
  2. Tap Attach image or Attach file in the editor toolbar
  3. Choose a file from your device (photo library for images, file picker for documents)
You can pick several files at once, and each one is added to the note.

​
Uploads that finish

Cleft uploads each attachment in the background. If the connection drops for a moment, Cleft retries the upload for a set time before telling you it could not finish, rather than waiting forever. Adding several files together no longer drops any of them, and Cleft cleans up the temporary copies it made once each upload finishes or fails. The files you picked on your device are left as they were.

​
Supported Formats

Images: JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, WEBP, SVG Videos: MP4, WebM, MOV Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, ZIP, GZ, TAR, PATCH

Where attachments show up

  • Local Export saves a note’s attachments in a folder beside its Markdown file and links to each one. See Local Export.
  • Spotlight on iOS 27 and macOS 27 lists a note’s attachments beneath the note they belong to. See Spotlight.
Uploaded content is subject to Cleft’s Terms of Use.
