0.9.4

August 21, 2026

Public beta · Linux

Latest

The current beta. Everything on the documentation page is in this build; licensing arrives with 1.0.

In this build

Idle rendering removed entirely: with no input, no frames are produced. The caret blink is the only periodic repaint, and it can be turned off.
Command palette (Ctrl+K) lists commands and open files with fuzzy matching.
Outline sidebar tab. Click to jump; it follows the current view.
Tables are edited in place, and an edit changes only the bytes of its own cell. Tab, Shift+Tab, the arrows and Enter move between cells; a table longer than the page continues on the next one in PDF.
Undo takes back one gesture — a word, a paste, a table edit — not one keystroke.
Drafts and backups a person can read: a document that has nowhere to go is kept as a draft, and a file is never lost on the way to the disk.
Export: PDF and self-contained HTML keep the Read view's typography, paragraph spacing, lists, tables, code and images.
Word count handles Hangul, kana and CJK ideographs separately from Latin words; reading time uses per-script rates.
Zoom, a shortcuts window, Markdown toggles in the palette, a separate face for Source, and the conventional key chords.
Fixed: $$ no longer swallows the rest of the document; front matter is metadata, not a heading; Korean and spaced file names reach the disk under their own names; a heading stays a heading while its next syllable is composed.

0.9.0

July 30, 2026

Public beta · Linux

Linux builds: .deb, with Flatpak to follow. Wayland-native with X11 fallback.
Focus mode (F8) hides everything but the text. Move the pointer to the top edge to bring the header back; Esc exits.
Math: inline $…$ and block $$…$$, a TeX subset drawn by the app itself, rendered in Live and Read.
Find & replace (Ctrl+F, Ctrl+H) with case, whole-word and regex options, highlighted in all three views.
Images: paste one from the clipboard and it is saved as a PNG next to your document, in assets/, after you confirm.
The interface comes in 12 languages, English by default, switched instantly from Settings.
Korean input is tested on real hardware: Hangul composition through ibus-hangul passes every case of tools/ime_cases.sh.

0.8.0

June 12, 2026

Private beta · Linux

First build with Live, Source and Read — three views of one buffer, on Linux (GTK 4, libadwaita).
Byte-exact round-trip: a file is written back as the bytes you typed. Line endings, indentation, frontmatter and HTML pass through untouched, verified against the CommonMark spec corpus.
Folder sidebar, no indexing.

Versioning. Major versions (2.0) may change file handling and are a separate, discounted purchase for existing owners. Minor versions add features. Patch versions fix bugs and never change behaviour you rely on. Every minor and patch release inside your major is free.

Nothing but writing.
