Important Note
Popularity of a Feature Request is one of the factors we consider when we decide which new features to implement. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to search the forum with possible keywords.
If your request is very similar to an existing one, like it () and make a meaningful comment, rather than creating a new thread. It also keeps the forum sane! If you find duplicate threads, feel free to send the moderators a message.

Use case or problem
I often have very large notes that I read or reference over multiple sessions. Currently, when I reopen a note, it always opens at the very beginning, even if I’ve already read or worked through parts of it. This forces me to manually scroll to the section I was last reading, which is inefficient and interrupts my workflow. I need the app to remember my last read position so I can quickly continue where I left off.
Proposed solution
The app could implement a ‘scroll memory’ feature that automatically saves the position I was at when I last closed the note. When I reopen the note, it would automatically scroll to that saved position. This would save time, reduce frustration, and allow me to pick up exactly where I left off, improving overall usability for large notes
