Changelog

Markdown marks stay out of the way, and InkDo starts faster.

• AddedMarkdown marks: **, _, # and the other marks are hidden. To see them around the caret instead: Settings → Editor → Markdown marks → At cursor, ⌘K, or the View menu.
• AddedHold ⌥ to peek at the hidden marks.
• AddedWays to unformat with the marks hidden:
  • Press the same key again, such as ⌘B inside bold text.
  • Click the format in the selection toolbar.
  • Press Backspace or Delete at the edge of formatted text. The marks go and the text stays.
• ChangedFaster startup: Settings, Export, History, Search and the shortcut sheet load the first time you open them.

Download 0.5.0

A patch for 0.4: the note's Markdown at a keystroke, your Google photo, and smaller fixes.

• AddedSource view: ⌘/ shows the note's raw Markdown with line numbers, full width. ⌘/ again goes back. It's also in the View menu.
• AddedIf you signed in with Google, your Google photo shows on your account button. Sign out and back in once to see it.
• ChangedComments: a clearer Comment button when you select text in the app, a short note when a Reader opens an empty Comments pane, and a softer backdrop behind the comment sheet on phones.
• ChangedExport: shorter notes under each option, and "Set by front matter" where the note itself sets the value.
• FixedTables inside list items show and edit as tables.
• FixedA horizontal rule exports in every PDF look.
• FixedThe slide thumbnail in Export follows the look you chose.

Share a note: a read page, comments and co-editing, while your .md stays on your Mac.

• AddedShare (⌘⌥S, or Share in the title bar) publishes the open note as a read page with one switch: a link to copy, an optional password, and Stop publishing that takes it down at once. Update, or Live to republish as you save.
• AddedInvite people as Reader, Commenter or Editor. Editors type in the same note at the same time, in the app or in the browser, and every edit lands in your .md in its own line endings.
• AddedComments: select text to start a thread, reply, react and resolve, in the app and on the shared page.
• AddedPublish a deck as slides on the web, or a folder book as a site with a page per chapter.
• AddedSign in with an email link, a passkey or Google. Your Mac signs in through your browser with a code you type there; the account lives in the Keychain.
• AddedLeave whenever you like: download everything you shared as a zip, or delete the account and all of it.
• AddedWet ink: the words you just typed settle from a soft ink to the text colour. Settings → Editor → Off, Quiet or Ink.
• ChangedNothing leaves your Mac until you press Share. The free plan holds 50 shared notes.

Bold and italic are back in the built-in themes, plus your own fonts.

• FixedBold, italic and strikethrough show again in the Ink, Paper and Studio themes (0.3.0 drew them as plain text).
• FixedPowerPoint export sets Arabic and Hebrew paragraphs right to left.
• AddedSettings → Editor font and Interface font: search every font on your Mac, or keep the theme's.

Academic export: typeset papers, citations, numbered figures, Word, LaTeX, books and slides.

• FixedSettings → AI could ask for your Mac password to show whether a key is saved. It now checks a key exists without reading it; a key is read only when an AI request is sent.
• FixedTemporary files left in app data by an interrupted save are now cleaned up at launch.
• AddedTypeset PDF: ⌘E → PDF → Look: Typeset makes a properly typeset paper (footnotes at the foot of the page, page numbers, Arabic right to left) in five styles: Article, Classic, Manuscript, Two-column and Report. Theme PDF, the look you know, stays.
• AddedPandoc and Typst, the two programs behind the new exports, download once from their own GitHub releases the first time you need them (57 MB), then work offline. Settings → Export shows them and removes them.
• AddedCitations: keep a .bib file (Zotero's Better BibTeX keeps one up to date) or CSL JSON beside your notes and write [@key]. In the editor a citation reads "(Smith, 2020)", shows its source when you rest on it, and @ lists your library. Exports format citations and the reference list in APA 7, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, Harvard or MLA (Settings → Export), or a .csl file you name.
• AddedCross-references: label a figure, table, equation or section ({#fig-map}, as in Quarto) and write @fig-map. The editor and every export show the same "Figure 1". Settings → Export turns numbering of equations, figures and tables on or off.
• AddedWord: an editable .docx with named styles, real equations and footnotes, in Georgia; a Manuscript style is double-spaced with line numbers.
• AddedLaTeX source: a folder with main.tex, the figures and references.bib, ready for Overleaf or a journal.
• AddedA folder as a book: a note that lists chapters as wiki links becomes one book in Typeset PDF, Word, LaTeX or one web page, with parts, numbered chapters, figures numbered by chapter ("Figure 2.3"), lettered appendices and one reference list. ⌘K → Export as book…
• AddedSlides: a line of --- starts a slide. Export a self-contained HTML deck (it works offline; F for full screen), PDF slides or an editable PowerPoint file, in your theme.
• AddedCommunity themes: Settings → Appearance → Community opens a shelf of themes to install, the 11 Phycat palettes among them. Import your own theme.css, or submit one.
• ChangedWhen an export can't finish, one line says why and what to do: offline, a download cut short, a full disk, or Pandoc or Typst stopping on a line of your note, which it names.

AI, off until you turn it on, and nothing reaches your note until you accept it.

• FixedFolder search showed a link as raw Markdown ([[Note]], [text](url)); it now shows the link's words.
• FixedVim mode: :w now saves, and the current mode shows under the text.
• FixedThe theme tiles in Settings could show without their colours for a moment.
• FixedCached link indexes for folders you no longer open piled up in app data; they are now cleaned up at launch.
• AddedAI, off until you turn it on in Settings → AI. Use Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or DeepSeek with your own key, kept in the macOS Keychain, or Ollama on your Mac. While AI is off, nothing is sent.
• AddedGhost text: grey text continues your sentence, and Tab takes it. It appears as you pause with Ollama, or when you press ⌥Tab with a cloud key.
• Added⌘J on a selection or a paragraph: rewrite, shorten, fix grammar, translate Arabic ⇄ English, make it formal or plain, or type your own instruction. Also in ⌘K, the Edit menu and the selection toolbar.
• Added/ai on an empty line drafts from your instruction.
• AddedSettings → AI shows how many requests InkDo sent today and in the last 30 days, per provider. The count stays on your Mac.
• AddedA heading map scroll bar: Settings → Editor → Scroll bar.
• AddedPin a note from the top right of the title bar.
• ChangedNothing from AI reaches your note until you accept it, and one ⌘Z undoes it. Only the paragraph you are in is sent.
• ChangedWhen AI fails, one calm line says why and how to fix it: at the bottom left for ghost text, in the panel for ⌘J and /ai.
• ChangedThe scroll bar is a quiet rail that shows while you scroll.
• ChangedText fades under the title bar instead of being cut off.
