Tasks & Projects

Octarine now has first class support for Tasks — a project-first way to plan work right next to your notes. Group tasks into projects, work in a list or on a board, break tasks into subtasks, plan with cycles, and narrow everything down with saved filters.

• Open Tasks from the sidebar, or find any task from the command bar's new Tasks tab.
• Turn a checkbox in a note into a task with Convert to Task, and link to tasks and projects from any note with [[.
• Ask Octarine can use the open task or project as context and work with your tasks for you.
• The CLI gains task, project and cycle commands.

There's a lot more to it — read the Tasks guide for projects, cycles, the search syntax and task settings.

Improvements

• Notes can now be kept at the top of their folder, above subfolders and regardless of the folder's sort, using Keep at top in the file tree context menu or the command palette.
• Opening a View now shows its details in the right sidebar, including its note count, an editable description, recently updated notes, and its layout, grouping and sort.
• Ask Octarine answers now show connected sources as chips instead of raw IDs.
• Ask Octarine's header controls were refined, with a new Show chat as menu.
• Chat prompts have a little more line height, and numbered lists in replies keep their numbers visible.

Fixes

• Fixed the cursor not landing in the editor when opening today's daily note with CMD/Ctrl + D.
• Fixed collapsed headings expanding again when a note is reopened.
• Fixed bare links staying bare when a note moves into a folder, which could cause References to miss them.
• Fixed Ask Octarine sometimes echoing workspace details at the end of a reply when using Claude Code or OpenCode.
• Fixed Ask Octarine being unable to use MCP integrations with very large tool catalogs.
• Fixed a deleted chat message staying in the open chat until it was reloaded.
• Fixed the weekly recap spinner continuing after a successful generation.

CLI

• Fixed Views created from the CLI not showing up in the app.
• Fixed the CLI missing frontmatter tags in notes with Windows line endings.
• Fixed property definitions define failing in the CLI on a fresh workspace.
• The CLI's task list command, which lists checkboxes in notes, is now checkbox list.
• The CLI now lets you know once a day when an update is available — turn it off with octarine config set update-check false.
