New updates and improvements to Octarine

0.52.0

Media stacks for images and videos, AI account support, protected sharing, bug fixes.

Media Stacks

Group images and videos into a single, compact block that keeps visual collections together without taking over the note. Media stacks are available with Octarine Pro.

  • Create a stack from the slash command, add existing media or import files from your device, and drag items in or out of the stack.
  • Reorder media with pointer or keyboard controls, and choose a Small, Medium, or Long stack height.
  • Video thumbnails now show a real frame preview, with custom controls when viewed fullscreen.

AI Accounts and Skills

You can now use Claude Code and OpenCode accounts for Writing Assistant and Ask Octarine, alongside Codex.

  • Connect a local Claude Code account or the providers managed by OpenCode from Settings → AI → Accounts; no API key needs to be added to Octarine.
  • Ask Octarine can use tools with CLI-backed accounts and retain tool context across the conversation.
  • Settings → AI → Skills can now discover skills from Cursor, OpenCode, Claude, Codex, and shared .agents directories on your device, then import their Markdown instructions into the current workspace.
  • The skill editor now highlights Markdown and has a cleaner browse, search, and editing layout.

Protected Sharing

Shared notes can now be protected with a generated password. Octarine shows the password and recipient link after publishing, and lets you copy the protected link again while the note remains shared.

Frontmatter Editing

You can now edit raw YAML frontmatter directly above the note, with syntax highlighting, validation, and drag-to-reorder for properties.

  • Enable raw frontmatter from Settings → Editor → Frontmatter.
  • Pasting a complete frontmatter block into the editor now updates note properties instead of inserting the YAML into the note body.

Improvements

  • Theme settings now show live light and dark note previews, and command bar theme results preview as you move through them with the keyboard.
  • Enable Settings → Editor → Writing → Wrap Long Lines to wrap long text and code blocks instead of scrolling horizontally; PDF exports always wrap code lines.
  • Enable Settings → App → Window → Don’t show system tray to hide the tray and disable Quick Capture across all workspaces.
  • The command bar has clearer nested command chips and more consistent spacing.
  • Dragging items to reorder Views is now constrained vertically.
  • Tags and properties can now be refreshed from Files settings, the sidebar metadata tree, or the command bar without resetting unrelated workspace data.
  • Tags filter in views now supports contains and starts with operators.

Fixes

  • Fixed templates ending with an empty callout not being inserted into a note via the slash command.
  • Fixed frontmatter changes made through pasted YAML or the properties panel not always being persisted with the note.
  • Updated system font selector cache, so newly added/installed fonts are shown without needing a restart.
  • Fixed command bar causing the entire app to freeze when typing more than a few characters.
