Releases

1.2.013 September 2026

• This release is about writing long pieces. Writing Mode brings focus, a live outline and typewriter scrolling together into one mode you enter and leave deliberately, and mdai reopens where you left off.
• The outline lists your H1–H3 headings, and clicking any one of them takes the document to that heading — every one of them, not only the first.
• You can now see what you changed, without git. mdai compares the text in the editor against the document as it was when you opened it — not against whatever is on disk this second — and it names on screen what it is comparing against. The comparison therefore survives auto-save instead of vanishing a moment after you type.
• An AI suggestion can now cover a whole section or the whole document, and it arrives as that same side-by-side difference, with Accept and Reject.
• Text size is yours. Hold Command or Control and scroll — or pinch on a trackpad — and the document text grows while the interface around it stays where it is.
• A line of code longer than the pane now scrolls sideways instead of wrapping, at every zoom level.
• Closing a dialog gives the keyboard back to the document — every dialog, including the draft-recovery prompt at start-up and anything opened from the command palette.
• On macOS, opening a .md file while mdai is already running brings the window to the front instead of leaving the new tab behind whatever you were looking at.
• The guides inside mdai now match the ones published on mdai.me, in all four languages.

1.1.08 September 2026

• This release connects your notes to each other. Type [[ and mdai completes note names as you go; click a [[link]] and the note opens.
• If the note does not exist yet, mdai offers to create it, in the folder you are writing from, so the link you just wrote is the link that resolves.
• A note now also shows its unlinked mentions — the places where its name appears in your prose without brackets — and each one can be turned into a real link with a single click, without touching the rest of the sentence.
• Tags are indexed across the whole vault: a new panel lists every tag with a count, and clicking one takes you to the notes and the exact lines that use it. Tags are read both from your text and from the tags: field in front matter.
• Saving no longer rewrites parts of a document you did not touch. A blank line directly after front matter is kept instead of disappearing on the first save.
• A heading followed immediately by a paragraph stays that way, in the editor and on disk.
• A document containing a table no longer grows by a blank line every time it is saved.
• A duplicated reference definition — two lines defining the same name — is no longer dropped without a word.
• A task item that contains a sub-list keeps its markers instead of being written out escaped.
• What you type goes where you are looking. Vault Search and the Quick Switcher opened from the command palette now take the keyboard, instead of letting your query fall through into the document behind them.
• The palette no longer opens on top of a dialog that is already waiting for input, and Settings closes on Escape like every other overlay.
• On Linux, Shift+Tab and Control+Shift+Tab move between fields and tabs again.
• When you decline a permission prompt, mdai remembers your answer instead of asking again every time.
• Coming back to mdai brings back what you left. The tag panel is filled in after a restart instead of staying empty until you rescan, and the backlinks panel refreshes itself when a session is restored, not only when you open a vault by hand.
• The status bar shows the name of the file you actually have open rather than "Untitled".
• A file that went missing and then came back is readable again without switching away from its tab and back.
• The built-in guides open from mdai's own copy even when your vault is unavailable, and if you are updating from an earlier version, the Welcome note is refreshed so that it lists the guides you now have.
• mdai is quieter when you are not typing. On Linux, an idle window no longer re-read every open tab from disk several times a second, and the backlinks panel no longer blinks empty while it refreshes.
• Looking up backlinks no longer walks every candidate in the vault for every link, so opening a large note costs less.
• On Windows the start-up window fits a 1366×768 screen, internal markers no longer leak into text you can see, and creating a note from a [[link]] no longer opens it twice.
• The completion menu closes once a link is finished, and the command palette and the menu now offer the same actions.
• The notice about your device count reads like a sentence written for you rather than a counter.

1.0.91 September 2026

• Choosing "Discard" when closing a tab no longer lets a pending auto-save write the discarded text to disk anyway, and an edit you make while a save is already in flight is no longer swallowed by that save.
• A change made to a file by another program — or by a sync client on another device — is no longer overwritten without asking, including while the "file changed on disk" prompt is still open.
• Recovered drafts are now offered by time, so a second draft for the same file cannot quietly replace the first, and the draft flush on quit no longer comes back empty.
• "Save as…" in the save-failed notification is a working button rather than a dead one.
• Dialogs now hold the keyboard. Typing while the recovery prompt, Settings, the shortcuts overlay or the onboarding screen was open used to go straight into the document behind them — and auto-save wrote it to disk. All of them take focus now, and when a dialog closes, focus returns to the editor instead of nowhere.
• Clicking the tab you are already in no longer drops the keystrokes that follow it.
• Tabs restore with their content instead of reading "Unavailable" until you click them, and a file that lives in a folder which downloads on demand is now named honestly instead of being reported as broken.
• On Windows, tabs opened from mdai's own guides folder no longer vanish on the first click.
• After an update, the Getting Started guide opens in front of your restored tabs rather than instead of them, and the built-in guides open again.
• If mdai fails while starting up you get an error you can read instead of an empty window, and indexing a large vault no longer freezes the app — quitting works while it runs.
• Typing is cheaper. Every keystroke used to rebuild the vault file tree and the tab bar, re-serialise the whole document for an AI panel that was closed, recount every word in the document, and write your session to disk. None of that happens per keystroke any more.
• Control+Tab and Control+Shift+Tab cycle through your open tabs.
• On Windows, saving no longer changes bytes you did not touch — CRLF line endings and a byte-order mark are kept exactly as the file had them.
• On macOS, the quit dialog shows its focus ring again and Tab moves between the buttons.
• Your licence now enforces the three-device limit it always promised, and you can free a device you no longer use from the same screen.
• If reading your stored API key fails, you are told, instead of being shown a stale status.
• File writes and pasted attachments are now restricted to your vault, and a system permission the app never used was removed.

1.0.826 August 2026

• On Windows, the unsaved-changes dot now shows up next to the file in the vault sidebar, and clicking a file that is already open focuses its tab instead of opening a second copy of it.
• Vaults kept in iCloud (or any folder that downloads files on demand) now restore your whole session instead of coming back with only a handful of tabs.
• The quit dialog no longer makes the destructive choice look like the default button.
• The outline panel follows the document you are working in, rather than updating only when you open the panel.
• Switching the theme is now available from the command palette and the View menu, not just in settings.
• Pasting an image no longer writes a second, unreferenced copy into your vault.
• The AI provider you choose is remembered across restarts.

1.0.725 August 2026

• Every "- [ ]" task in your vault now appears on a calendar you can open with ⌘5, with a dot on every day that has something on it, and the tasks panel switches between Inbox and Timeline.
• Typewriter mode keeps the line you are writing in the middle of the window.
• View → Rescan Vault rebuilds the index on demand, so a file that arrived while mdai was closed can be picked up without reopening the vault.
• Several situations that could silently lose your work now handle it correctly: closing a tab whose file was deleted no longer destroys the content, a vault with a missing file at startup no longer disappears without a word, and a corrupted settings file no longer wipes your license and preferences.
• Pasting an image from the clipboard now works, and the mandatory image-consent prompt no longer appears for documents that have no images.
• The "File changed outside the app" warning no longer fires after mdai's own save, and it now properly takes keyboard focus instead of letting your typing slip past it.
• Checkbox syntax like "- [ ]" now creates a real task.
• The calendar and tasks panel stay accurate while a large vault is still scanning and refresh correctly when you switch vaults.
• Switching languages is safer — the default button no longer discards your changes.

1.0.617 August 2026

• The editor now comes in light and dark, and your choice is remembered. You can style it further with your own CSS — and if a rule ever hides something you need, View → Disable Custom CSS turns it off from the menu, which sits outside the page and cannot be hidden by your own CSS.
• Save As writes a document to a new file without touching the original.
• Help → Keyboard Shortcuts lists every shortcut in one place, and each one now has a menu item too.
• A narrow window keeps working: the tab bar scrolls to the tab you are on, the close button is no longer clipped, and the status bar stays on one line.
• Opening a large vault shows scanning progress instead of a count that looked like an empty vault.

1.0.513 August 2026

• An AI answer that got cut off can no longer overwrite your text. When a reply hits the model's output limit, mdai says so and does not offer it as an edit — previously, accepting one could replace a section with a shortened version of your own writing.
• Longer AI answers. The output limit is now set per provider instead of one cautious number for all, and the panel shows the limit next to what you have used.
• One click, one request. Send and the quick actions now lock while a request is running, so a double-click can no longer bill your key twice.
• The side panels can be found. On a first run the icon rail stays visible, then steps aside the moment you start working.
• Text no longer sits flush against the rail, and the rail no longer covers the first letters of your lines.
• Clicking in the margin puts the cursor where you aimed — including above a table or raw HTML block, where there was previously nothing to click.
• Export suggests the document's name. PDF and HTML exports are named after the file, not after the app.
• No more blank last page in PDF exports.
• Exports carry your text, not the editor's helpers. The Markdown marks mdai shows around the line you are editing (#, **) no longer end up in an exported PDF.
• Focus mode no longer greys out your export. Exporting while focus mode is on now prints every paragraph in full colour.
• Your exported PDF carries your document and nothing else. On Windows every export used to arrive with the printer's own header and footer — the date, the page count, and an internal address — printed into the margin of a file you may well be sending to someone else.

1.0.411 August 2026

• Double-click now works. A .md file opens in mdai, and mdai can be set as your default Markdown editor.
• Tables look like tables again. Cells have borders, padding, and a shaded header row, and a selected cell is finally visible.
• The welcome screen keeps the keyboard. On a first run, what you typed while it was open could land in the document behind it. It no longer can.
• Windows and Linux: opening a file no longer opens a second window. Double-clicking a Markdown file while mdai is running now opens it in a new tab in the window you already have.
• macOS: opens on a machine that has never been online. The app bundle carries its notarization ticket, so Gatekeeper does not need to phone home.
