New updates and improvements to Octarine.

0.34.0Jan 26, 2026
Custom themes with AI generation. Template variables for dynamic content. UI upgrades, bug fixes.

Custom Theme Creator

  • A new theme creator allows you to design fully custom themes with a color picker for every visual element in Settings → Theme Creator.
  • Custom themes can be created, edited, deleted, and previewed directly in the settings interface.
  • AI-powered theme generation lets you describe a theme in natural language (like "cozy autumn forest" or "neon cyberpunk") and have it automatically generated with appropriate colors and contrast ratios.

Available only on the Pro License.

Template Variables

  • Templates now support dynamic variables that are automatically replaced when inserted:
    • Use {{title}} for the current file's title.
    • Use {{date}} or {{date:FORMAT}} for dates.
    • Use {{time}} or {{time:FORMAT}} for timestamps.
  • Property fields also support template variables, allowing you to create dynamic property values.

Formats would need to follow the date-fns syntax. Read more in the documentation.

Improvements

  • Links with custom protocols (like things://, octarine://, or other app-specific URLs) now work correctly throughout the editor, including in read-only notes.
  • Calendar note hover cards now display relative dates in their titles (e.g., Yesterday, 2 weeks ago, in 3 days) for easier temporal context. Empty daily notes show a Empty note placeholder.
  • Font selectors have been upgraded from simple dropdowns to searchable comboboxes, making it easier to find and select from large font lists.
  • The wikilinks suggestion list now orders notes by recently viewed, with your most recent notes appearing at the top.

Fixes

  • Fixed link labels not updating correctly when the linked note's title changed.
  • Fixed backslashes being incorrectly omitted from code blocks when saving to markdown files.
  • Fixed embeddings not indexing immediately after downloading a model or using the force re-index" option.
  • Fixed the bubble menu causing unwanted scroll behavior when selecting text.
  • Fixed external links opening urls inside the app when the note is read-only.
  • Fixed external links in the Changelog Dialog not doing anything on click.

Changes

  • Weekly notes linked will only show Week <number> in the link, and no longer the range. The range would still be visible when hovering over the link.
