New updates and improvements to Octarine

0.39.1

Deeplink `getCurrentNote`, performance boosts, visible unresolved links, bug fixes.

URI Scheme

  • A new getCurrentNote deeplink action returns the URL and title of the currently open note via x-callback-url. This enables integration with tools like Hookmark for bidirectional linking between Octarine notes and other apps. Read it in the docs

Performance

  • Reduced CPU usage when the app is in the background.
  • Optimised database lookups and removed stale connections when switching workspaces.
  • Improved performance of reacting to external app changes to the current viewing file (like an agent writing to the current note or from another app).
  • Fixed tab switching slowness that would occur when the workspace search was open.

Improvements

  • Unresolved wiki links are now clearly displayed in the Meta sidebar with their link name and a yellow warning icon, rather than disappearing without notice. Clicking on these links will create the corresponding note at that location.
  • Video player now displays a small duration chip when the video isn’t playing.
  • External images (using standard markdown ![alt](url) syntax) now appear in the Attached Media sidebar with a globe icon, along with "Open in Browser" and "Copy URL" context menu options.
  • The editor toolbar for external images shows an open-in-browser button and a globe badge overlay to distinguish them from local images.
  • CMD/Ctrl + Shift + , is now a keyboard shortcut for copying the Octarine URL of the current note.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where pasting frontmatter content would affect both split panes instead of only the active one.
  • Fixed the resize drag handle on videos hijacking the progress bar scrubber, making it impossible to seek through the video.
  • Fixed tab bar action buttons (new tab, split pane) shifting layout when switching between focused and unfocused panes.
