Changelog.

Ask Octarine

• Ask Octarine’s search is now smarter, combining keyword and meaning-based search for better results.
• It considers all your notes for follow-up questions, not just previous results, and handles conversation flows more naturally.
• You can get answers based on recently updated notes (e.g., “What did I get done this week?”).
• After each answer, you get 3 follow-up question suggestions to explore the topic further.
• Web search is now supported for Ask Octarine (same supported models as Writing Assistant)
• It recognizes folder or category mentions (like “release notes”) in your queries and searches those areas automatically.
• When generating new content from your notes, Ask Octarine matches your writing style and formatting for consistency.
• Wikilinks show only note names, making responses clearer.

Performance

• Note embeddings are now stored in a workspace-specific sqlite database (<workspace folder>/.octarine/embeddings.sqlite) , making embedding much faster and more reliable.
• Reduced memory and CPU usage of the app when typing and idle.
• Cursor placement is now saved on blur rather than on a continous interval.
• Ask Octarine Suggested prompts are cached for faster responses.

Improvements

• Loading the app no longer shows a white flash.
• Redesigned the workspace creation form to clearly distinguish between creating a new workspace and opening an existing folder of markdown notes.
• When linking daily desk notes, the terms today, yesterday, and tomorrow are displayed as Today, Yesterday, and Tomorrow for improved readability, rather than showing the full date. As time passes, these will automatically revert to the actual date for accuracy.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where trying to copy selected table cells would result in only the last selected cell to be copied.
• Changelog dialog now gracefully handles external API slowness and doesn’t crash the app.

Changes

• MetaSidebar shows only the note name (not the folder) anymore.
