 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
+- Fokus-Modus für Notizen: `Strg+Umschalt+F` oder „Fokus-Modus starten“ im Drei-Punkte-Menü. Nur die Notiz in angenehmer Lesebreite über dem ganzen Fenster; die Kopfleiste (Titel, Rückgängig, Teilen, Menü, „Beenden“) gleitet herein, wenn die Maus den oberen Rand berührt. `Esc` beendet ihn; am Handy über einen runden Knopf unten rechts.
 - **Push-Benachrichtigungen** (Web Push) auf Handy und Desktop, auch wenn MindSift geschlossen ist: unter Kontoeinstellungen → Alarme pro Gerät einschalten und testen; „Push“ ist eine eigene Spalte für jedes Ereignis (auch fällige Aufgaben) und die Tageszusammenfassung. iPhone und iPad ab iOS 16.4, wenn MindSift zum Home-Bildschirm hinzugefügt wurde. Schlüssel per `VAPID_*` oder automatisch erzeugt. API: `/push/key`, `/push/devices`, `/push/subscribe`, `/push/unsubscribe`, `/push/test`.
 - Links auf einzelne Punkte: „Link zu diesem Punkt kopieren“ in der Aktionsblase eines Punkts oder im Link-Dialog (`/link`) über „Punkt dieser Notiz wählen“. Format `[[Notiz#^id|Notiz › Auszug]]`; ein Klick öffnet die Notiz, springt zum Punkt und hebt ihn hervor. Gibt es den Punkt nicht mehr (verschoben, ausgelagert, gelöscht), öffnet sich die Notiz mit einem Hinweis. Wiki-Links stehen im Text jetzt mit ihrem Anzeigetext und sind direkt anklickbar.
 - Globaler Desktop-App-Footer mit Versionsnummer, „Über MindSift“, dynamischen Rechtstexten (Impressum, Datenschutz) sowie optional konfigurierbarem Custom-Link (`LEGAL_CUSTOM_LINK_LABEL`, `LEGAL_CUSTOM_LINK_URL`).
