To open the note in a new tab, use `CMD/Ctrl + Click`. This consistent behavior applies to editor doclinks, references, data table cells, and property wikilinks.\n- When clicking a doclink within a sheet, the current note is added to a history stack. A back button will appear in the sheet header, allowing you to easily navigate back along your path.\n\n**Improvements**\n- Writing Assistant now shows the current note as a visible context chip when it's being used as implicit context, making it easy to clear if you want to ask a general question instead.\n- Pasting code into an existing code block no longer inserts extra markdown fence syntax — the fences are automatically stripped so only the code content is pasted.\n- Clicking `Daily Desk` when the calendar is already visible now highlights it with a brief pulse animation, so you can quickly spot it.\n\n**Fixes**\n- Fixed template properties not being applied when creating notes via the URI scheme.\n- Fixed Doclink sheet navigation including duplicate notes.\n\n**Deprecated**\n- The `Doclink Click Behaviour` setting has been discontinued and is no longer available.\n"

Octarine now intelligently determines the appropriate action for each query without requiring a mode switch.\n\n**Writing Assistant**\n\n- The context selector has been removed. The current note is now automatically included as context, and you can add additional context by using the `@` mention feature for folders and notes.\n- The design of the Prompt box has been updated to match the style used in Ask Octarine.\n\n**Editor**\n\n- Select text and type a bracket or quote character (`(`, `[`, `{`, `\"`, `'`, `backslash`) to automatically wrap the selection with the matching pair. This can be toggled in `Settings > Editor`.\n- Toggle task checkboxes on and off with `Ctrl/CMD + Enter` — no need to click the checkbox.\n\n**Performance**\n\n- Switching between notes and tabs no longer causes the properties panel to flicker — the panel now updates in place instead of fully unmounting and remounting.\n- Splitting or moving tabs is now instant — pane cleanup runs synchronously, eliminating empty tab bars and zombie panes that could briefly appear.\n- Embedding indexing is significantly faster with proper chunk sizing and batched processing, and the progress bar now reflects real progress.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Settings have been reorganized into clearer, more logical groups for easier navigation.\n- Property suggestion dropdowns now span the full width of the value column, with readable wikilink titles and consistent styling across all property types.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed an issue where re-added attachments would incorrectly show \"file does not exist in workspace.\"\n- Fixed pinned view names overlapping other elements.\n- Fixed a zombie pane bug caused by an async cleanup race condition.\n- Fixed sticky group headers in Views switching too early during scroll.\n"

"### Introducing Views\n\nViews let you create custom filtered, sorted, and grouped tables of your notes — powerful datatable interfaces for organizing, searching, and visualizing your content at scale. Think of them as smart saved searches that update automatically.\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_31_0_views.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n**What can you do with Views?**\n\n- **Custom Tables**: Build dynamic tables that display your notes based on any criteria.\n- **Powerful Filtering**: Filter notes by system fields (like created/modified date, tags, task status), custom properties, linked notes, and more. Combine multiple filters for precise queries.\n- **Flexible Columns**: Choose exactly what data to display in your table, from note names and dates to custom properties, tags, and task counts.\n- **Sorting**: Easily sort your notes by multiple fields to get the exact order you need.\n- **Personalization**: Customize each view with unique names, icons, and colors to make them easy to identify. Rearrange them to a custom order.\n- **Default Views**: Get started instantly with three pre-built views:\n  - **Organised Notes**: All notes in your Notes folder, sorted by last modified date.\n  - **Pending Tasks**: Notes with task checkboxes, showing status and counts.\n  - **Recently Written**: Notes modified in the past 7 days with their linked notes.\n\n**How to get started:**\n\n1. Open Views from the sidebar or use the shortcut `Cmd/Ctrl + K → Go to Views` (or `g w`).\n2. Click **\"+ Create View\"** to create your custom table.\n3. Add filters and configure columns to tailor it to your needs!\n\nRead the detailed docs over [here](https://docs.octarine.app/organization/views)\n\n> Views are only available to users on the Pro License.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- You can now reorder workspaces by dragging them in the Switcher.\n- Recently Viewed popover now also keeps track of `Graph` and `Ask Octarine` tabs.\n- Typing `- [ ]` manually in the editor will automatically convert it into a to-do checkbox.\n- Improved design for tags and list properties.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Resolved an issue where the link edit container displayed outdated labels if the previously selected link had the same URL as the current one.\n- Fixed an issue where text color was not applied correctly for `Bright Light` and `True Dark` color themes.\n- Fixed an issue where renaming the folder (or any parent folder) of a note that is present in a tab would not result in the breadcrumb and tab names being updated.\n- Fixed `Refresh Properties` button in the Properties tree not re-indexing the entire workspace.\n- Fixed list properties being incorrectly identified as `tags`.\n- Fixed an issue where the rename error box for light themes would follow a dark theme pattern.\n"

Depending on the font, the list includes weights such as Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, and Black.\n- `Settings → Editor` — Added new setting **Default Highlight Color** to customize the color applied to the selected text when using the `CMD/Ctrl + Shift + H` shortcut.\n- `Writing Assistant` — Each query now displays the model name and the time the query was sent below the prompt. Prompts have a maximum height to ensure they don’t occupy the entire screen.\n- `Meta Sidebar` — Octarine now saves the last viewed tab in the meta sidebar so that when you reopen it, you land on the same tab (this persists across refreshes and restarts).\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Resolved an issue where text within a markdown link (e.g., `[text]`) caused any subsequent `#` symbol to be erroneously interpreted as a tag.\n- Corrected a bug where the tag command, under specific circumstances, inserted irrelevant or outdated tags from other sections instead of the intended selection.\n- Fixed a problem wherein accessing the Hover Editor (accessible via wikilinks or the Writing Assistant) where mathematical equations in notes would result in being hidden until the note was manually refreshed.\n- Addressed an issue in the Writing Assistant where pressing `Enter` failed to select `/` quick actions when the `CMD + Enter` setting for sending requests was active.\n- On Mac, rectified a fullscreen mode problem that prevented users from accessing the traffic light controls (to exit fullscreen) when hovering over them.\n- Improved IME (Input Method Editor) functionality within the command bar for languages such as Chinese.\n- Fixed a bug that caused the application to freeze upon opening the font selector.\n- Resolved an issue where highlighting text with overlapping colors using `CMD/Ctrl + Shift + H` unexpectedly added random, nonsensical code to the markdown.\n"

"**LMStudio Provider**\n\n- Added `LMStudio` as a local provider, accessible via `Settings → AI Assistant → AI Providers`.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Settings now open in a dialog box instead of occupying a full screen.\n- Hotkeys now work as intended: Mac-specific `Cmd` shortcuts are no longer triggered by `Ctrl`. For example, `Ctrl + N` on Mac now moves to the next line instead of creating a new note.\n- Enhanced note embedding performance in Ask Octarine: embeddings run in parallel and use no more than 500MB of memory.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Resolved a suspected memory leak that occurred during note embedding in Ask Octarine.\n- Fixed an issue where the Writing Assistant displayed a context selector for previous queries.\n- Fixed the Writing Assistant showing the default file as context for past queries, even when the user had explicitly removed the context.\n- Fixed an issue where custom extensions attached to a note did not appear in the `Linked Files` section of the MetaSidebar.\n- Fixed an issue where custom extensions that were in use were incorrectly marked as *unused* and prompted for deletion in the Attachments popover.\n- Fixed a keyboard conflict where `CMD + Y` would both open the recently viewed popover and redo the last change in the editor on certain keyboards.\n"

"**Improvements**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_29_2_file_tree.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- You can now drag markdown files from your finder over to the tree and have them added to the workspace. Hovering over a folder adds it to that folder.\n- Changed the behaviour of quick note/folder create buttons:\n  - Pressing them normally now creates the new note/folder at `root` irrespective of the current tab note’s location.\n  - Holding down `CMD/Ctrl` before clicking on the buttons would however create them inside the folder of the current tab’s note.\n\n> No change to how the shortcuts `CMD/Ctrl + N` or `CMD/Ctrl + Shift + N` behave.\n\n- Searching for a `tag` either manually via `#<tag>` in search or via the tag tree, now also surfaces results from the `tags` property in notes.\n- File tree empty spaces now have a new context menu available (on right click) to help create note/folder at `root` .\n- Added `Close other tabs` option to the tab’s context menu (and `CMDK` bar) to close all but that tab in a pane.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed an issue where the outline heading clicks in Meta would not scroll to the heading on first load (would after the text was edited).\n- Fixed an issue where meta sidebar would sometimes not show up.\n"

"**Improvements**\n\n- Creating wikilinks is now simpler: just wrap the text with `[[` and `]]` without needing to use the command selection.\n- You can now assign properties directly to templates.\n- A new `CMD/Ctrl + K` option, \"Create note from template,\" has been introduced. This creates a new note, following either the Untitled or the unique note naming convention — with the selected template and its properties applied.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Reversed the chevron icons so they correctly indicate the expanded or collapsed state of headings.\n- Fixed an issue where applying a template with empty bullet points using the / command did not work.\n"

"### Properties (Beta)\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_29_0_properties.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\nYou can now create and edit note frontmatter directly in the app! Since this feature\nis in beta, it may not support every workflow and is not the final version. Expect\nfurther improvements in the v0.29 series.\n\n- To add a property row to a note, click the more options button and select `Add property` in the breadcrumb or press `CMD/Ctrl + ;`.\n- Each property can be one of the following types: **Text**, **Number**, **List**, **Date**, **Date & Time**, or **Checkbox**. A special type named `tags` is available only for the reserved keyword `tags`.\n  - Any tag created in this property syncs to the Tags Tree sidebar, making it easily accessible in your notes.\n- When adding Text and List properties, the app suggests values that have been used in similar properties across other notes.\n- If you have an AI provider configured, you can use AI to quickly generate property values. The AI analyzes the note’s content, prioritizing existing properties and only creating new ones when needed.\n- Property keys that are no longer in use across any notes are removed from the Tree (except for `tags`, which are always kept), keeping your view clean.\n- Text and List values can include wikilinks to other notes. To add a wikilink, type `[[` and select the desired note.\n- You can rearrange properties by dragging them or by pressing `Option/Alt + Up/Down Arrow`.\n\nWhen the workspace first loads, Octarine attempts to assign types to existing properties based on their values. If an incorrect type is assigned, you can correct it using the type selector in any property row—the change will update everywhere.\n\nYou can view all available properties via the Properties Tree (accessible using the third icon from the top-right in the app).\n\nNote: This release does not support assigning properties to Templates. That functionality will be available in a future update.\n\n> Properties are available only to users with a Pro License. Users without a Pro License will not see the panel or be able to add properties from the app.\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_29_0_paste_properties.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- You can copy properties from one note using the Panel’s more options button. In any note that does not already have properties—and isn’t the same note—you’ll see a `Paste Properties` button for quick insertion.\n\n### Collapsable Headings\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_29_0_collapse_headers.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Headings (H1 through H6) in a note can now be collapsed by clicking the chevron icon beside the header. The collapsed state is maintained across tabs until the app is restarted.\n- Because markdown does not define blocks, the collapsible content follows a simple rule: it includes all data between the collapsed header and the following header.\n- Collapsing a heading takes its hierarchy into account. For example, collapsing an H1 automatically collapses all subordinate headings.\n- Use `CMD/Ctrl + K` to quickly collapse or expand all headers. When using search, any header containing matched data will expand, though it will not collapse automatically afterward.\n\n### Unique Note Names\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_29_0_unique_names.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- You now have an option to create new notes with a specific date format instead of the plain `Untitled`. Enable this by going to `Settings → Files` and toggling the `Create unique note names` setting.\n  - You will be provided with an input field to specify your desired date format (a preview is shown). Note that the format cannot include characters forbidden in file names.\n  - Once enabled, every new note will follow this naming convention. This feature can be turned off at any time.\n\n### Improvements\n\n- The Tags Tree now includes a search bar for easier filtering, along with a slightly updated design.\n- Clicking on a tag now applies a `match case` filter during searches.\n- The `[[` command dropdown displays more values without requiring you to type first. The number of shown items increased from 5 to 8 and the design has been updated.\n- Various performance improvements have been made across the app.\n- A new toggle has been added under `Settings → Editor → Codeblock Italics` to allow you to enable or disable italicized text within codeblocks when syntax highlighting is applied (default is ON).\n- Performance improvements have also been made to table controls.\n- A new option, `Only note name`, is available at `Settings → Editor → Linked notes display`. This option prevents the folder path from being added to any linked note.\n- The `Shortest name` display for linked notes has been enhanced to check for unique folder/file combinations, ensuring the shortest possible note name is shown.\n- Workspace search now provides more context in the results (up to the end of the line) instead of just showing 15 characters before and after the match.\n\n### Fixes\n\n- Added a graceful fallback for retrieving file system statistics on Linux, preventing crashes on some distributions.\n- Fixed issues with the Hugging Face whitelist on Linux devices and improved model checking functions.\n- Resolved an issue where the layout occasionally shifted upward during a search scroll when the Tags Tree was open (the layout self-corrects once the tree is closed).\n\n### Changes\n\n- `Locked Notes` have been renamed to `Read-only notes`. Although the frontmatter still uses `locked: true`, the icon and labels in the app have been updated.\n- The design for tag command selection has been updated.\n- Clicking on `Notes` or `Templates` in the sidebar now opens temporary tabs (dirty tabs) instead of permanent ones. The empty screen previously shown in those tabs has been replaced with recently viewed items and keyboard shortcuts.\n- Heading guides are now displayed beside the header rather than above it. Additionally, the full-width editor now includes extra horizontal spacing to accommodate the toggle buttons.\n"

Instead of listing every reference, a button shows the label “+ x references”.\n    - Any selected folders or note references are moved to the top of the list.\n- Additional improvements:\n  - Responses can now be retried.\n  - The copy actions have been moved out of a dropdown so that they are always visible.\n\n### Writing Assistant\n\n![Context Changes in Writing Assistant](https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/writing_assistant.png)\n\n\n- The Writing Assistant now displays a \"Context Changed\" indicator when context selections or files change within the same chat. This ensures that any previous irrelevant responses are discarded to maintain accuracy.\n- Quick actions for responses now include both `retry` and `delete`.\n- Selected text now displays as \"x ch\" (where x is the number of characters) instead of the full \"x characters\".\n- OpenAI API responses have been improved for a better user experience.\n\n### Folder Customisation\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/folder_customisation.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Folders can now be pinned to stay at the top.\n- Each folder supports its own sorting method, independent of the workspace sorting method.\n- Icons and colors can be assigned to folders for better categorization.\n- All folder settings are stored in a `config.json` file located within the particular folder.\n\n> Available only to Pro License users.\n\n### Improvements\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_28_0_pinned_view.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n\n- Pinned notes and folders now appear in a separate view that spans across Notes, Daily Desk, and Templates. A pin toggle in the tree headers allows you to quickly switch between pinned items and your current view.\n- Search performance has been enhanced for faster results.\n- The `CMD/Ctrl + K` command bar features a refined design:\n  - Rows are smaller in height.\n  - Note navigation follows the same design used throughout the rest of the app.\n  - The \"recently viewed\" list is limited to 10 items, and now displays an icon instead of the text “recently viewed”.\n- The quick action designs for both Writing Assistant and Ask Octarine have been updated for clarity.\n\n### Fixes\n\n- Resolved an issue where creating a new folder did not update its timestamp in the local database, which previously caused sorting issues until a refresh was done.\n- Fixed a bug where auto title generation would fail for both Ask Octarine and Writing Assistant when using `Ollama`.\n- Addressed a problem where clicking outside would not discard the rename operation initiated through the file tree context menu.\n- Fixed an issue where Perplexity AI setup would fail.\n\n### Changes\n\n- The Graph feature has been relocated from the sidebar to the Global breadcrumb as an icon.\n- Reduced the size of H1, H2 and H3 by 4px each.\n"

"**Improvements**\n\n- Tasks now have the accent background when checked, and a better looking checkmark icon.\n- **Tables** — `Tab` only cycles through the cells, and no longer creates a new row when pressed on the last cell of the last row. `Enter` only creates a new row when it’s pressed with the cursor on the last row.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed the `/` command not allowing keyboard navigation.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause codeblock styles to spill out of the codeblock and onto text below it causes irregular colors and italics on certain letters.\n- Fixed a bug where codeblock syntax highlighting would be irregular for certain languages.\n"

"**Improvements**\n\n- Added an `Insert Media` option to the slash commands, allowing you to open Finder/Explorer and add images or videos to your note. This serves as an alternative to dragging files directly from Finder.\n- Writing Assistant slash commands will now also be included when creating a new workspace using the `use settings from an existing workspace` option.\n- The Octarine window now displays the window name as `<Workspace> - Octarine`. This change is mainly visible in Mac's Mission Control and is helpful for users who rely on app-tracking tools to identify which application they were working in.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Resolved an issue where switching between workspaces could show outdated data in Daily Desk if the previous workspace had entries for a date that were missing in the new workspace.\n- Fixed a bug where formatting options wouldn't apply if no text was selected.\n- Resolved an issue where the caret would not appear in empty task items.\n- Fixed `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + C` so that it copies content with the correct formatting, matching the behavior of right-click copy in the editor.\n- Addressed a problem where the note cache wasn't updated when moving or renaming a note that had a reference doclink to another note.\n\n**Changes**\n\n- The placeholder will now only appear in completely empty notes, rather than after every empty line.\n"

"**Split Panes & Tabs**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_27_0_tabs.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\nEverything is a tab! A major part of the app has been rewritten to move away from single viewing notes to a tabs & split pane architecture.\n\n- Notes, Graph and Ask Octarine are now opened as `tabs` instead of individual entities.\n- Multiple panes and layouts are supported — both horizontal and vertical.\n- Tabs can be re-arranged in a pane via dragging them horizontally, or can be moved to a completely different split/pane via:\n  - Dragging them over.\n  - Using the context menu (right click) to either **Split it** (duplicates the tab into a new split) or **Move it** (moves it from pane A to B).\n- Each tab provides multiple keyboard shortcuts to:\n  - Open New Tab — `Cmd/Ctrl + T`\n  - Cycle between tabs in a pane — `Cmd/Ctrl + Tab`\n  - Jump to a specific tab — `Cmd/Ctrl + <1 to 9>` (where the number is the position of the tab in the pane)\n  - Split the tab horizontally — `Cmd + \\`\n  - Split the tab vertically — `Cmd + Shift + \\`\n  - Close the tab — `Cmd/Ctrl + W`\n- Each tab has the following internal properties that define how they interact or behave:\n  - **Focused tab** — It's the tab that you are currently using for either editing or interacting with. Can only be ONE at a time irrespective of the amount of panes available. Focused tab are also active by definition. _Identified by the tab having an accent border at the top._\n  - **Active tab** — Each pane has an active tab, which is essentially the tab that is currently visible. Each pane will only have ONE active tab at a time. _Identified by the tab having a grey border on top IF not focused._\n  - **Dirty tab** — When opening a tab via the file tree / calendar by clicking on the file button or via the linked notes in the meta sidebar, they are treated as dirty. These are temporary tabs that can be replaced by the next tab you open in a similar fashion. To mark them permanent, use the context menu (right click on the tab) and press `Protect from Replacement`. Alternatively, if you start typing in the editor, the tab becomes permanent as well. _Identified by the tab title being italic in style and a dot beside it's name._\n    - Tabs opened via `Cmd + P` / `Cmd + T` / Doclinks in Note / `Open in new tab` via the file context menu are not dirty by nature.\n- Each pane is now equipped with `Back / Forward` buttons that keep a history of the tabs in the pane and move between them. Closing a tab and press `Back` would re-add the tab back in.\n\n**Performance**\n\n- Part of the update was changing the way, the app interacted with notes and the internal database. Improved performance of file loads between tab switches to be near instant.\n- Rewrote calculations for image/video loading to be instant and not require a round-trip check causing glitches in the past.\n- Improved performance of file tree for large workspaces to not lag when the sidebar was open during interaction.\n\n**Focus Mode**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_27_0_focus_mode.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Due to the introduction of tabs, focus mode has now been revamped to be a dialog that takes over the entire screen rather than be congested to a small pane.\n- Changed the interaction from paragraph based (which could span multiple lines) to a sentence based one for better focused writing (every period, question mark, exclamation point acts the start and end of a focus)\n- Reduced opacity of inactive/unfocused text, fixed `code` blocks and bullet lists not being hidden properly.\n\n**Attachments**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_27_0_video_fullscreen.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Images and Videos follow a fixed width/height in the note rather than being stretched the entire width of the window.\n- A fullscreen button has been added to allow viewing them in a larger space on a case-by-case basis.\n- Changed design to have the caption be at the top rather than the bottom.\n- Loading of video/images are cached so as to feel near instant when switching tabs.\n- Context menu added for opening in finder, viewing fullscreen and deleting the attachment from the note.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Codeblocks can now be collapsed/minimised. When doing so with Mermaid diagrams, the diagram is visible, with just the codeblock being hidden. Changes are saved for the session across tabs.\n- Changed recently viewed and linked notes design for showing notes within folders.\n- FPS counter is more stable now rather than fluctuating heavily on multiple ticks per second.\n- Images now support `.webp` format.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed codeblock syntax highlighting not working for a lot of languages. Reduced the count of the languages supported to be in accordance with prism.\n- Fixed a bug where on Windows typing would sometimes be overridden with the last typed text.\n- Fixed a bug where linking notes in Daily Desk would crash the app intermittently.\n- Fixed an issue where external files would show up in the `[[` command list.\n"

"**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed an issue where the app would fail at startup for new users.\n"

"**System Fonts**\n\n- You can now choose any of your system included fonts for both the interface as well as editor.\n\n**Typography Scaling**\n\n![Editor Typography Options](https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_26_7_typography.png)\n\n- Adjust font size, line height and letter spacing for the editor.\n\n**Callout Blocks**\n\n![Multiple Callout Options](https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_26_7_callout.png)\n\n- 5 new callout blocks are available — Info, Warning, Error, Success and Tip.\n- They behave similar to Blockquote in syntax and follow the Github approved notation.\n- Available via the `/` command and the bubble menu.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Ask Octarine now supports adding individual notes as context.\n- `Go to <setting>` options have been added to `CMDK` .\n- Git Sync now has a 3 retry mechanism added in case of errors before it disables the auto sync.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed an issue where Zooming in/out would hide the file tree list, and cause the calendar to be misaligned.\n"

"**Weekly AI Recap (Pro)**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_26_6_weekly_ai_recap.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Each weekly note can now include AI-assisted recaps based on the daily notes from the previous week.\n- Clicking on `Generate Recap` allows you to choose one of two formats:\n  - Thematic — where the AI analyzes patterns and goals from the day notes.\n  - Daily — where the content is arranged chronologically by day.\n- Once generated, you can either `Accept` or `Reject` these changes. Rejecting will wipe the AI recap and allow you to try again, while accepting will set it and hide the button for the week (you would need to delete the note if you wish to retry).\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Improved follow-up logic for Ask Octarine. It now gives more preference to references used in the previous response, and if no relevant data is found, extends its search to other notes.\n- Improved the design of suggested prompts to be more minimal.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed an issue where Writing Assistant did not properly consider follow-ups with the last response data. It now behaves just like a proper chat app.\n- Fixed an issue where a title was not automatically generated for Ask Octarine chats after creating a new chat.\n\n**Changes**\n\n- Changed the behavior of `copy` in the app. `Cmd/Ctrl + C` now copies WITHOUT formatting, while `Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + C` copies WITH formatting.\n- Removed shadows from the app.\n"

You can disable all typography enhancements (such as refined display for copyright symbols, trademarks, fractions, emdashes, etc.) or choose to enable only the specific ones you prefer.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- **Workspace Search**\n  - The Recently Searched list is now accessible via the keyboard. Press `DownArrow` to focus on the list, then press `Enter` to re-run a search.\n  - You can navigate search results with the keyboard without needing to press `Tab` first. Simply press `Down` while the search box is focused.\n- The settings sidebar automatically collapses on smaller screens, displaying a breadcrumb trail that shows the current setting.\n- Added keyboard shortcuts to jump between headers: use `Cmd + Option + Up/Down` to quickly navigate.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed the inconsistent widths of settings cards.\n"

"**Paper Types**\n\n![Paper Types](https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_26_4_papers.gif)\n\nSix new writing backgrounds, or `papers`, have been added:\n\n- Free: Graph\n- Pro: Lined, Seyes, Dots, Hexagonal, Engineering.\n- Switch between them via `Settings → Editor → Paper Type`\n\n**Git Sync**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_26_4_auto_setup.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_26_4_git_merge_conflict_prefer_remote.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- GitSync is now automatically configured when you create a workspace from an existing folder that already contains git configurations. Folders that you have `git cloned` from a remote repository are set up automatically.\n- If your workspace is configured to sync with git, a `pull` is triggered when the app loads (or when you manually reload) to fetch the latest changes from the remote repository.\n  - If there are merge conflicts between remote and local changes, the resolution depends on your selection in `Settings → Git Sync → Conflict Resolution`:\n    - `Use Remote Changes` — The app will favor incoming changes from remote. **Remote always wins.**\n    - `Keep Local Changes` — The app will favor your current local changes. **Local always wins.**\n- The settings preferences have been redesigned for a cleaner look.\n\n**Attachments Popover**\n\n- Implemented a search function to quickly filter results by queries.\n- Removed the dropdown menu for Image/Video/All selections.\n- Enhanced the scrolling performance of the popover.\n- Fixed an issue where using `[[` to attach an image inserted incorrect text.\n- Improved the dragging hologram to clearly display dragged attachments.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- New setting: `Settings → Editor → Show Heading Guides` now displays small `H1`, `H2`, and `H3` tags above header names for clarity. _Default: ON._\n- All settings now have consistent font sizes and spacing.\n- The Workspace Settings button is now also available in the `?` help popover.\n- The file tree includes a `Refresh File Tree` button that re-indexes and recreates the file tree, useful when the app does not reflect the latest data from your drives or displays inconsistencies.\n- The `/` command search now prioritizes the main `name` rather than alternative names.\n- Success and Error toasts now have a consistent style.\n- Resizing the window, now auto closes the sidebars if open when it hits below 900px.\n"

"**Fixes**\n\n- Fixed a bug where quick actions would not be visible for older chats in Writing Assistant.\n- Fixed tooltip for sending queries in Ask Octarine and Writing Assistant to be just `Enter`\n- Fixed a bug where `Copy Response` would show up while the stream was still ongoing.\n\n**Changes**\n\n- Success toast background and text colors changed.\n- Changed `references` tooltip text in Ask Octarine.\n"

Don’t worry, Octarine manages the download and storage for you.\n- After your entire workspace is indexed into smaller text chunks, you can start chatting.\n- Octarine intelligently parses your intent. It understands whether you need to summarize, explain, consolidate, analyze, review tasks/todos, or check your Daily Notes. Check the in-app Tips for guidance.\n- Access it via the sidebar button or use the `Cmd + O` shortcut.\n- Narrow your query by using the @ symbol to focus on specific folders.\n- Each chat is divided into multiple messages, with each message able to invoke a different AI model or context:\n  - Each message indicates the context it used (if provided) or a date range if the query is time-focused.\n  - Responses list `references` that show which notes were considered for your query.\n  - You can copy responses in Markdown (for Octarine notes) or plain text.\n- After the first response, Octarine generates a title for the chat; you can edit or regenerate it using the Sparkles icon.\n- Empty chats offer suggested prompts based on a random selection of folders with notes for one-click analysis, summarization, or explanations.\n\n_Ask Octarine is currently in beta_ and will be improved in future updates. Some queries may not produce exactly what you expect, so your feedback is crucial. Please create a ticket on Github with any feedback.\n\n**Global History**\n\n- The Writing Assistant (sidebar) now shows global history across all chats instead of just the current file.\n- Clicking on a history entry takes you to both the chat and its associated file.\n- Empty chat screens display Quick History (the last three chats) for fast access.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Switching between notes in the Daily, Notes, and Templates tabs is now faster.\n- File opening from the graph view has been optimized.\n- The `Migrate Tasks` button has moved to inside the Daily notes breadcrumb for better accessibility.\n- The Meta sidebar and Writing Assistant buttons have been relocated from the notes breadcrumb to the global one.\n- A refreshed splash screen shows Recently Viewed items and keyboard shortcuts for quick access.\n- Selecting text and pressing the Writing Assistant button or `Cmd + J` now retains highlighting even when focus leaves the editor.

"## **Ask Assistant 2.0**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_25_0_ask_main.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n**Core Changes**\n\n- The interface is completely redesigned to function more like a chat system for long-form conversations.\n\n- Ask Assistant now opens a sidebar on the right when activated, replacing the original dialog within the editor.\n\n  - Multiple chat conversations can occur while using the note context.\n  - Each note maintains its own chat history for easy access.\n  - A \"chat\" can consist of multiple messages that follow the previous context, or you can initiate a new chat to start over.\n  - Each message can utilize different models.\n  - The title of the chat auto-generates based on the first response to the user prompt for better historical recall.\n  - A `Help` Dialog is available, offering tips and tricks for adapting to the new design.\n\n**Context Switching**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_25_0_ask_context.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- By default, the current note provides context for the chat. Hovering over the context in the chat prompt box displays the text sent to the AI provider.\n- You can select a small portion of text in the editor and press `Cmd/Ctrl + J` or use the `Add to Chat` icon in the Bubble menu to add that text as context (indicated by the line range).\n- To change the context to another note in the workspace, press the “@” icon or type @ as the first character in the chat. This opens a search box to select any existing note.\n\n**URL Context**\n\n<video autoPlay loop muted playsInline>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_25_0_ask_url.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- You can provide a URL in the @ context selector, in addition to using existing files as context.\n- Octarine attempts to extract readable content from the URL to facilitate chat, although some JavaScript-heavy sites may not work due to data not loading.\n- Once content is extracted, hovering over the context title reveals the content. You can then `Copy Content`, `Save it to a new note` (using the URL title as the file name), or `Go to the link`.\n\n**New Themes!**\n\n- Pro Users now have access to 18 new themes, bringing the total to 33 themes:\n  - **Dark Palettes**: Vesper Dusk, Monokai Series (Original, Spectrum, Machine), Forest Dark, Xcode Series (Dark, Midnight, Sunset, Dusk), Synthwave, Catppuccin Series (Mocha, Macchiato, Frappe)\n  - **Light Palettes**: Vesper Light, Forest Light, Xcode Light, Synthwave Light, Catppuccin Latte\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Sidebar widths and open/close states are saved and restored on app restarts or refreshes.\n- A `Sync Now` command is added to `CMDK` to force sync git changes (if set up).\n- Performance for data storage and retrieval from the local database has been improved.\n- Icon colors now correctly change to brighter versions when hovered.\n\n**Fixes**\n\n- Resolved an issue where saving would cause the cursor to jump to the last position on Windows.\n"

They now appear as regular, visible text instead of as a separate node. This change makes them easier to search for within the file, editable, and non-blocking.\n- Additionally, the tag design now uses the theme's accent color and no longer includes a background.\n- Tags can now be added to existing text by placing `#` before them or using the find and replace function.\n\n**Improvements**\n\n- Creating a new note, automatically focuses the file name in the breadcrumb for quick editing.\n  - If the `Settings → Editor → Show File Name Input` is toggled on, then the focus would be on the file name inside the editor.\n- Ignore the `d, do, dd` error if one of `P, PP, PPP or PPPP` is typed in the date format setting.\n- Improve selection colors for Dark and Dim themes.\n\n**Changes**\n\n- Sidebar is now NOT resizable for daily desk.

"**External Files**\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_21_0_external_files.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- You can now reference external files that Octarine doesn’t natively support in your notes. Clicking on these files opens them in the default app, allowing you to work with your notes and references simultaneously.\n\n- The Meta sidebar features an `External References` section for each note. It allows you to import new files or search for existing files in the workspace to reference.\n\n- These references are stored in the markdown as `frontmatter` at the top of the markdown file, which also lays the groundwork for Properties/Frontmatter in upcoming releases.\n\n  - Here’s an example of how the frontmatter will appear in the file:\n\n    ```yaml\n    ---\n    external_files:\n      - 2412.10953v1.pdf\n    ---\n    ```\n\n<video autoPlay controls playsInline muted loop>\n  <source\n    src=\"https://pub-d9b2979edab5442388c14f8014e177b7.r2.dev/0_21_0_custom_extensions.mp4\"\n    type=\"video/mp4\"\n  />\n</video>\n\n- Octarine comes with support for several default extensions.
