Official v0.6.1 Release

Patch release packaging paste-as-Markdown, placeholder image uploads, and workspace tab / watcher / numbering fixes.

Paste-as-Markdown with placeholder image uploads

Pasting rich text or HTML now converts to clean Markdown on drop-in, and pasted images show an instant placeholder while uploading to the assets/ sidecar in the background.

Close tab without trashing vault files

Closing an untitled or open tab no longer moves vault files to Trash — tab close only clears editor state while disk files stay untouched until explicitly deleted.

Hash-only watcher echo & vault sync reset on close

File watcher now ignores hash-only echo events to stop phantom reloads, and vault sync state fully resets on vault close to prevent stale tabs or ghost unsaved dots.

Reuse Untitled-N and New Folder N after Trash delete

Deleting an Untitled note or New Folder to Trash now frees its number, so the next created file reuses the lowest available Untitled-N / New Folder N instead of counting up forever.

Distraction-free Zen writing mode

Silence all UI chrome, sidebars, and panels with a single shortcut to immerse completely in writing without distractions.

Incremental vault indexing & lazy KaTeX math rendering

Drastically reduced initial document load time and memory usage by compiling KaTeX equations on-demand and indexing changes incrementally.

Full-Text Search (FTS) across entire vault

Instantaneous full-text search across all markdown files in your vault with fuzzy matching and keyword highlights.

Rapid file creation & inline note renaming

Create new notes instantly from search or shortcuts, and rename active notes seamlessly without breaking links.

Zero-latency typing performance in large documents

Optimized transaction pipelines and debounce cycles to guarantee sub-millisecond keypress latency even in 50,000+ word notes.

Official v0.6.0 Release

Milestone release packaging printing pipelines, frontmatter widgets, and robust session persistence.

Real HTML render & print pipeline (F1 / F2)

True WYSIWYG printing and PDF generation directly from your Markdown. Trigger fast preview with F1 and print dialog with F2.

Crash-resilient session restore & buffer recovery

Automatically restores open tabs, scroll offsets, caret positions, and crash-era unsaved draft buffers upon app relaunch.

YAML Frontmatter B7 panel with single-key editing

Dedicated visual header widget for inspecting and toggling metadata keys and tags without cluttering body prose.

Safe deletion to native macOS Trash

Deleting files and folders now safely moves items to the OS Trash instead of permanently purging them from disk.

Unified Move/Delete block menus & recent-path reopen

Consolidated contextual menus for moving or removing blocks and quickly jumping back into recently opened vaults.

Official v0.5.0 Release

Milestone release transitioning Manicule to true folder-backed vaults with asset sidecars.

Folder vault with autosave, watcher reconciliation & asset sidecar

Your notes live as raw files in regular folders on disk. External edits sync in real-time, and images save to an assets/ sidecar folder.

Draggable tab reordering with drop indicator & unsaved dot

Reorder document tabs with smooth mouse drag-and-drop or keyboard shortcuts, complete with visual drop indicator and unsaved change status.

Preserve undo history across mode toggles & debounce auto-rename

Switching between visual hybrid mode and source markdown no longer clears the undo/redo stack. Hardened document outline and subpage links.

Official v0.4.0 Release

Milestone release featuring live slash commands, focus modes, and in-doc search.

Live slash command menu (/) & math templates

Insert callouts, tables, diagrams, headings, and KaTeX math formulas with a single slash stroke right where your cursor rests.

Typewriter scrolling & paragraph focus modes

Keep your active writing line vertically centered on screen and dim non-active paragraphs to stay in flow.

Floating glassmorphic Find & Replace card

Sleek floating card with regex search, match counting, and batch replacement without obscuring editor content.

Action bar for quotes & callouts

Interactive action bar directly on blockquotes with one-click type switcher (note, tip, warning, quote) and quick unquote.

Line selection isolation & standalone image block decoration

Clamped horizontal drag handles and guaranteed standalone image embeds render as isolated block widgets.

Official v0.3.0 Release

Milestone release delivering visual tables, checkboxes, and sidebar heading synchronization.

Interactive task list checkboxes

Clickable checkboxes on task lists (- [ ]) that toggle status visually while maintaining pure markdown syntax underneath.

Visual table row & column controls

Added in-place controls to add or delete rows and columns, navigate cells with Tab/Enter, and eliminated table row duplication.

Document outline drawer

Slide-out outline drawer generated dynamically from document headings for navigating deep structures effortlessly.

Bidirectional in-page heading to sidebar sync

Updating the top-level title in a document automatically synchronizes with the file title displayed in the sidebar.

Image paste/drop, visual ImageWidget & quick-add plus button

Paste or drag images directly onto the editor page, plus an empty line + button for rapid block insertion.

Responsive layout tuning across TabBar, Sidebar & StatusBar

Removed the vertical gutter separator line and polished responsive layouts across all window breakpoints.

Official v0.2.0 Release

Notion-style subpages, nested folders, in-place table and diagram editing, link attachments, and local persistence.

Notion-style nested subpages & folder hierarchies

Create subpages within pages that correspond to clean folder structures on disk, preserving standard file conventions.

Universal macOS DMG with ad-hoc signing

Added native DMG builds supporting both Apple Silicon (M-series) and Intel architectures with proper bundle signing.

Editor decoration & store subscription optimizations

Streamlined CodeMirror decorations and reduced overall application bundle footprint for near-instant cold boots.

GitHub Actions release pipeline

Automated multi-architecture release workflow and download documentation.

Brand identity: Typographic Manicule (☞) & macOS squircle

Interactive Mermaid Diagram Studio

Live split-screen diagram editor with template switcher, live validation, and one-click SVG export.

Native keyboard shortcuts (⌘B, ⌘I, ⌘E, ⌘⇧X)

Instant keyboard formatting for bold, italic, inline code spans, and strikethrough with whitespace normalization.

Notion-style floating formatting toolbar

Floating contextual bar appears over active text selection with instant buttons for formatting, tables, diagrams, and callouts.

Modern collapsible sidebar with smooth animation

Foldable sidebar holding vault files with top-left expand toggle and spring animations.

CodeMirror 6 StateField block widget architecture

Registered block widgets via StateFields and resolved RangeSetBuilder sorting conflicts to guarantee rock-solid markdown concealment.
