New updates and improvements to Octarine.

0.32.0Jan 03, 2026
macOS native menu bar, offline Git sync, resizable View columns, bug fixes.

Native Menu Bar

  • A native operating system menu bar is now available on macOS, providing quick access to app actions through File, Edit, View, Navigate, Workspace, AI, and Help menus.

Git Sync

  • Git sync now handles offline scenarios gracefully — changes are committed locally when offline and automatically sync when connectivity is restored.
  • Previously unpushed commits are now pushed when back online, even without new changes.

Views

  • Columns can now be resized by dragging the column header edges. Column widths are persisted and restored across sessions.
  • Date pickers now have an optional clear button to remove the selected date.

Editor

  • Pasting markdown content with YAML frontmatter now automatically extracts properties and merges them into the note's properties panel.
  • Inserting a template via the slash command now merges the template's properties with the existing note — template properties act as defaults while existing values are preserved.
  • Clicking on images or videos now opens a clean fullscreen overlay with a dark backdrop for better viewing.

Settings

  • A 24-hour time format option is now available in Settings → Preferences. The setting applies throughout the app including Views, the editor, and the assistant.

Improvements

  • CMD/Ctrl + P now allows you to create notes if the query doesn’t match any existing notes at either the Workspace Root or in the current folder.
  • The "Today" date now automatically updates when the app regains focus after being left open overnight.
  • Collapsed headings now properly preserve inline content visibility, and outline generation correctly includes text from doclinks and file-links.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the Custom AI provider settings error messages would fail silently when an exception lacked a message property.
  • Windows — Fixed Graph not showing correct connections for links between notes under folders.
  • Windows — Fixed an issue where typing wikilinks to directly create notes would fail to correctly reflect the changes in the tree.
  • Date range selection in Ask Octarine now enforces a single date context and shows a check icon for the selected range.

Changes

  • Windows — Wikilinks command now works with providing suggestions when typing / and `` both.
  • Wikilinks command will not show create at root option if the query contains a /
