addednotes live as Markdown files in a notes folder (~/Writ by default); the first launch moves existing notes there and keeps a rollback copy of the database for ten launches.
addedNew note creates a dated .md file at once; renaming a tab renames the file, Delete moves it to the Trash, Save a Copy writes an opened file into the folder.
addeda Notes section in Settings: the folder's path, Show in Finder, Copy path and Move, which takes every note along.
addedopen a note by name with Cmd+Shift+O.
addedthe notes folder is watched and indexed, so search follows files that change outside Writ.
addedthe writ command writes piped input as a note in the notes folder.
addedWrit refuses to start with its data folder inside iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or a Syncthing folder, and says where to point WRIT_DATA_DIR.
changeda save that would overwrite a newer file on disk is refused and the unsaved text is written beside the note as a dated conflict copy.
changedYAML frontmatter is hidden in the preview and round-trips on save.
changedautosave waits one second after the last keystroke; losing focus, hiding the window or quitting writes at once.
fixedquitting inside the autosave window no longer drops the last second of typing.
fixedsaving a/index.md no longer hides a real change to b/index.md.
removedthe private copies of notes Writ kept under its data folder; every note is its file.
v0.3.5
added.sql files highlight; the language was detected and named in the status bar, but no grammar was registered.
changedfailures that only reached the developer console now say so in the app: a config that will not read, a settings write that fails, a file that will not open, a palette section whose search throws.
changeda workspace search that fails reports as failed instead of as no matches.
fixedshowing the sidebar keeps the caret in the editor, and a collapsed sidebar takes no clicks or focus.
fixedEscape closes a dialog after a click inside it.
fixedcontext menus close on Escape or on typing, and use the readable foreground colour.
fixedthe status bar drops fields as the window narrows instead of clipping them.
fixedmermaid diagrams follow the document's light or dark theme, and an HTML preview without its own styles follows the light theme.
fixedthe sidebar toggle in a fresh config defaults to Cmd+\.
fixedthe inbox header no longer reads "Inbox ยท Inbox".
fixedthe AI connection row in Settings hides while a search filters to other sections.
v0.3.4
fixedthe database no longer grows without limit: recovery snapshots write only on change, and a bloated database is compacted once at startup.
fixeda save that fails keeps the text queued and retries; closing the tab asks before discarding it, and the message names the file and the reason.
v0.3.3
fixededits to a file opened from disk save back to that file; since 0.3.0 they only reached Writ's internal copy.
fixeda saved file keeps its permissions, and a file whose contents changed on disk reloads when reopened.
changedCmd+S saves the active tab right away; the sidebar toggle moves to Cmd+\.
v0.3.2
addedArabic and right-to-left writing: each editor line takes its direction from its first strong character, so Arabic reads right-to-left and Latin left-to-right in the same document.
addedpreview paragraphs, headings, lists, and tables resolve their direction the same way; code blocks stay left-to-right.
addedArabic text renders in the platform's Arabic fonts instead of fallback glyphs.
v0.3.1
addeda Writ menu on the Windows and Linux titlebar: open file, new tab, close tab, the command palette, and the update check, each with its shortcut.
addedWindows 11 snap layouts open from the maximize button.
changedthe Windows window controls follow the Windows 11 caption treatment, and the maximize button shows restore while the window is maximized.
changedthe command palette is wider with a larger input and sizes to its results; modal shadows lighten across the app.
fixedpressing the icon inside a titlebar button clicks the button instead of dragging the window.
fixedclosing the command palette no longer leaves a focus ring on the active tab.
fixedon Windows, the window no longer grows across launches or reopens larger than the screen, and a window closed maximized reopens maximized on the same monitor.
v0.3.0
addedsearch everywhere on Cmd+Shift+F: one palette over commands, settings, and every note, open or from history. with a workspace folder open it also matches file names and greps file contents, streaming results as you type. prefixes route the query: > commands, # content, : go to line.
addedCmd+click (Ctrl elsewhere) opens http, https, and mailto links from the editor; a relative link that resolves inside the workspace opens in Writ. a link clicked in the preview names its host and asks before opening.
addeda Writ context menu in the editor: spelling corrections on a flagged word, link actions, clipboard verbs, rewrite actions on a selection, and a workspace search seeded with it.
addedspelling corrections in place: double-click a flagged word to pick a suggestion or add that word to the dictionary.
addedthird-party licences readable from Settings.
addeda startup failure shows a dialog and writes a report file before the app exits, instead of exiting silently.
changedrequires macOS 12 or later. on macOS 11 or earlier stay on 0.2.0: this build will not launch there.
changedthe macOS installer is signed and notarized end to end, so Gatekeeper opens it without a warning.
changedthe Linux install script verifies its download against the published checksums and installs the CLI as the writ command.
fixeddeb installs update themselves: the update feed serves the signed deb instead of an AppImage the package manager rejects.
fixedchecking that a hosted rewrite endpoint is reachable asks for the same per-host consent as rewriting before the API key is sent.
fixedwrit file.rs opens Writ on Linux and Windows instead of the system default editor, and /usr/bin/writ on the AUR package is the CLI, so piping works.
fixedwrit --version reports the installed version; it printed 0.1.0 on every release since the CLI landed.
v0.2.0
addedlocal spell check: wavy underlines on likely misspellings, with fix all and a per-word preview from the status bar. off by default, and code, URLs, and links stay unflagged.
addedrewrite a selection to proofread, rephrase, or polish it, streamed into a side-by-side view you approve before it applies. off until you turn it on, with a local model by default or a hosted provider whose key stays in the OS keychain.
addedline operations: duplicate, delete, move, and join lines, select a line, insert one above or below, select the next occurrence, and add a cursor above or below.
addedinstalls from the Homebrew tap and the winget package.
changedCmd+E deletes a line; toggling inline code moves to Cmd+Shift+E.
changededitor shortcuts fire only while the editor has focus, instead of from any focused text field.
changededitor commands appear in the command palette and can be rebound in the shortcut editor.
changedtext transforms carry plain labels and a sentence describing what each one does.
fixeda file created in the same moment the watched folder started being watched no longer goes unnoticed.
fixedthe writ command no longer reports itself installed when its link points at an app bundle that moved or was deleted.
fixedthe AUR package installs its launcher entry and icons.
