Changelog

Quick Capture

Quick Capture can now save what is already on your clipboard without bringing Octarine forward, giving you a much faster path from copied text or images to a durable note.

• Copy text or an image anywhere, then double-tap Option on macOS or Control on Windows and supported Linux sessions to save it directly to the Inbox, append it to today’s Daily Note, or add it to your last viewed note.
  • Choose the destination from Settings → Quick Capture; successful captures show a lightweight desktop notification.

Note appearance

Pro users can now give individual notes their own width, editor font, heading font, font size, line height, and letter spacing from the new appearance control in the note breadcrumb. These choices live in the note’s frontmatter, and can be reset to the workspace defaults at any time.

Feedback

• Send feedback without leaving Octarine from the Help menu, command bar, About settings, or an error screen.

Improvements

• Adjust Octarine’s interface font size from Settings → Preferences, independently of the editor font size.
• Views filters can now combine conditions with either AND or OR.
• Suggested follow-up prompts in Ask Octarine can now be collapsed.
• Ask Octarine now handles repetitive tool calls without leaving a blank response, and date-scoped questions include the relevant task context in the fallback search path.
• The command bar now has category filters, clearer note context, and more direct access to recent notes, sidebar sections, and workspace settings; use Tab and Shift + Tab to move between filters.
• Git Sync can now pull remote changes without committing or pushing, from settings, the command bar, or the app menu.
• Graph options can now show or hide Inbox captures. Graph toggles for showing nodes is now stored in workspace data, and persists on restarts.
• A new properties button in the note breadcrumb makes frontmatter easier to reach.
• The outline rail now appears only when there is enough room in the editor gutter.
• Dialogs, selects, overlays, feedback surfaces, and chat quick actions have more consistent presentation and behavior.
• Windows - The custom titlebar now includes Octarine’s app menus alongside native minimize, maximize, and close controls across main and document windows.
• Compact navigation is now the default for workspaces that have not chosen a preference.

Performance

Octarine now does less unnecessary work across split panes, tabs, the sidebar, indexing, workspace state, and the editor.

• File trees stay mounted while switching through Inbox tabs, reducing avoidable redraws.
• Tab activation and compound split-pane changes now use fewer redundant state writes.
• Frontmatter and indexing refresh only the records that changed.
• Workspace search streams results instead of waiting for the full set.
• App-wide state subscriptions are narrower, improving responsiveness across navigation, search, graph, calendar, and editor workflows.
