What's changed

Fixed

• The Markdown preview follows the editor smoothly as you scroll. It used
  to stand still until the editor's top line changed and then jump a whole
  block, which looked like ghosting on 120 Hz displays. A block drawn for the
  first time can no longer overlap the one below it for a frame.

What's changed

Fixed

• View ▸ Side Bar ▸ Toggle Side Bar works with no folder open. It used to
  show only a status message; now the side bar lists your open files, with a
  button that opens the current file's folder and Open Folder…. Toggle
  Show Open Files lists even a single tab, and turning it on shows the side
  bar.
• Status messages show as a short notice at the bottom of the window while
  the status bar is hidden or Distraction Free is on, so commands no longer
  look like they did nothing.
• Leaving full screen (the green button, Esc or the system) also leaves
  Distraction Free, and showing the minimap, tabs, status bar, terminal,
  Build Results, Markdown Preview or the AI panel from Distraction Free leaves
  it so the panel appears.
• Commands that did nothing now say why or do the expected thing: Find Next
  with no matches, Quick Find and Use Selection for Find with only a caret
  (they use the word under it), Build and Build With… for a file with no build
  system (the Build Results panel explains), Next Modification outside Git,
  Next Result before a build, Show Problems and Show Completions with nothing
  to show, Backlinks outside a notes folder, and a minimap too narrow to draw.
• Goto Anything with no folder open offers recent files.
• Commands the menu disables are refused with a reason from the command
  palette and shortcuts too (for example Export as HTML on a file that isn't
  Markdown).
• Incremental Find is incremental: Return keeps the match and goes back to
  the editor.
• A ● REC marker shows in the status bar while a macro records.
• View ▸ Focus Group items are disabled for groups that don't exist, and the
  Ruler, Word Wrap Column and whitespace check marks follow the current
  file's own settings (from .editorconfig or syntax settings).
• Open Recent ▸ Clear Items no longer empties Reopen Closed File.

What's changed

This release adds Obsidian-compatible notes (with runnable code blocks
and optional Git sync), Review Changes, language servers, clickable file
locations and Send to Terminal in the terminal, optional AI helpers, plugins,
and markers for hidden and direction-changing characters. Everything that
runs other programs or reaches the network is off, or asks, until you turn it
on; see Security below.

Added

• Notes: Obsidian-compatible notes on plain Markdown files. Open your notes
  folder (an Obsidian vault or any folder of Markdown files) and
  [[wikilinks]] work as in Obsidian, with headings, block references,
  aliases and embeds, and ordinary Markdown links to notes too. Links are
  underlined in the editor (dashed for a note that doesn't exist yet), and
  ⌘-click (Ctrl+click) or Notes: Follow Link opens them, offering to
  create a missing note where Obsidian would put it. Strata reads the vault's
  .obsidian settings but never writes them, and notes use the network
  only through Git sync, which you turn on per vault. See the new Notes page
  in the manual.
• Notes: typing [[ completes note names, aliases, headings and block ids,
  and writes the link the way the vault's Obsidian settings ask.
• Notes: a backlinks panel under each note lists the notes linking to it,
  with the line that holds each link, and the note's tags. It's kept up to
  date as Obsidian, a sync tool or Git changes files, and counts notes open
  in tabs as they are, saved or not; notes_backlinks chooses when it
  shows. #tags and frontmatter tags are tinted, and Notes: Find Tag…
  lists every tag with its notes.
• Notes: Notes: Open Daily Note, Notes: New Note… and Notes: New
  Note from Template… follow Obsidian's Daily notes and Templates settings,
  filling in {{date}}, {{time}} and {{title}}.
• Notes: Notes: Rename Note… (also Rename… in the side bar) offers to
  update every link to the note, showing each changed line first. Notes:
  Undo Rename puts the links and the name back, all or nothing, and never
  overwrites a file written meanwhile.
• Notes: sync conflict copies (Syncthing, Dropbox, Nextcloud and ownCloud)
  get a notice above the note with Compare, Open Copy and Move Copy
  to Trash…; Notes: Compare with Conflict Copy does the same from the
  keyboard.
• Notes: the Markdown preview shows wikilinks you can click, tags,
  frontmatter as a block of properties, and embedded images, notes, sections
  and blocks (one level deep, images only from the vault).
• Notes: runbooks you can click through. In the Markdown preview, fenced
  bash, sh, zsh, fish, pwsh, powershell, cmd, python, node
  (js) and ruby blocks have a ▶ Run button. Shell blocks go to the
  current terminal tab the way Send to Terminal sends text; language blocks
  start their REPL in a terminal tab of their own. Notes: Run Code Block
  does the same for the block at the cursor, and Notes: Run Code Block and
  Capture Output runs it in a separate process and puts what it prints in
  an output block under the code, as one edit Undo takes back (stopped
  after code_block_timeout_seconds, 60 by default). Nothing runs when a
  file opens or the preview draws. Before a file's first block runs, Strata
  shows exactly what will run and where, and asks; Don't ask again for
  this file is remembered in Strata's settings folder, never in the file,
  and a different file at the same path, or a change made outside Strata,
  asks again. Files outside the open folders ask every time, and a block
  with invisible or text-reordering characters never runs. See Notes ▸ Running code blocks in the manual.
• Notes: optional Git sync, off until you turn it on for a vault with
  Notes: Enable Git Sync for This Vault… (which says first that the
  repository's hooks, filters and credential helpers will run). Notes: Sync
  Notes saves the vault's notes, commits what changed in the vault
  (respecting .gitignore, with a message from notes_sync_message),
  rebases onto the remote and pushes, never forced; an optional timer does the
  same every few minutes and skips a vault with unsaved notes. Strata never
  asks for a password: Git uses your credential helper or SSH agent. When a
  note changed on both sides, nothing is pulled or pushed and your files stay
  as they were; the notes in conflict are listed with Compare with
  origin/main and Keep My Versions and Sync. No upstream, offline, a
  refused sign-in or a replaced remote history change nothing and say so in
  the status bar, which also shows the last sync. Turning sync on is tied to
  that repository: a different one later at the same path is asked about
  again before anything runs. Before Strata ever undoes a rebase Git
  started, it backs up every file it touched (on disk and staged) to
  sync-backups in its settings folder, kept 30 days (Notes: Show Sync
  Backups); a sync interrupted by quitting is only undone when you say so.
  See Notes ▸ Git sync in the manual.
• Optional AI helpers with a model you choose (Tools ▸ AI and the command
  palette): Summarize Changes (the whole review or one file), Explain
  Change, Flag Risks, Draft Commit Message and Explain
  Selection. Providers: any OpenAI-compatible server (Ollama and LM Studio
  on your computer or network, OpenRouter, OpenAI…), the Anthropic API, or
  the claude and codex command-line tools with your own login. Answers
  stream into a panel as Markdown, can be cancelled, copied or opened in a new
  tab, and never hold up the editor. See the new AI Helpers page in the
  manual.
• AI helpers are off until you turn them on in Settings ▸ AI Helpers
  (ai_enabled). Local providers are used without asking. Before the first
  request to any other provider, Strata shows exactly what it will send and
  to which host, and asks (Allow Once, Always for This Provider,
  Cancel); AI: Forget Allowed Providers asks again. Test
  Connection checks a provider without sending any of your text.
• AI helpers send only what they're about. Files that look like secrets
  (.env, keys, anything in folders like .ssh or secrets), files Git
  ignores, binary files and symbolic links are never sent, and a size limit
  (ai_max_prompt_kb) says what was left out. API keys live in the macOS
  Keychain or Windows Credential Manager, are only sent to the address they
  were saved for, and never touch settings.json or the log.
• Plugins: extensions that are separate programs, in any language, which
  Strata starts and talks to with JSON-RPC over their standard input and
  output (the framing language servers use). A plugin can add commands to
  the command palette and Tools ▸ Plugins, keys (never one Strata already
  uses), status bar items (for every window, or for the file in front of
  each), a Markdown panel and pick lists; read and edit open files (one
  Undo takes back each edit); and read and write files in the side bar
  folders. A plugin that crashes is restarted, and left stopped
  after three crashes in five minutes; one that floods Strata with messages
  or stops answering can't hold up the editor. Plugin settings go in
  plugins in settings.json. See the new Plugins page in the manual, with
  the full API reference; two small examples are in examples/plugins.
• Plugins are installed from a folder or a zip (Tools ▸ Plugins ▸ Install
  from Folder… / Install from Zip…) into Strata's settings folder;
  there's no online directory. Zips with paths that would leave the package,
  links, or sizes over the limits are refused. Plugins: Manage Plugins…
  lists them, turns them on and off, starts and stops them, shows what they
  may do and their log, and removes them.
• A plugin asks before it first runs: Strata lists the permissions it wants
  in plain words and remembers your answer for that exact package (by its
  SHA-256), so any change to it asks again; it then runs from a read-only
  copy of exactly that package, checked again right before it starts, with
  the environment variables that load code from elsewhere (PYTHONPATH,
  NODE_OPTIONS, DYLD_*…) removed. Every request a plugin makes is
  checked against what you allowed, and its file access stays inside the
  open folders, never following links or reaching hard-linked files. Text
  from plugins shows hidden and direction-changing characters as markers.
  Strata can't sandbox a plugin's own program, and the question says so:
  running other programs and using the network are shown as things Strata
  can't limit, and an interpreter's own libraries aren't part of the check.
• Review Changes, for checking what a coding agent changed and keeping or
  undoing each change (no AI involved). The Changes tab of the side bar
  lists every file that differs from the last commit, or from a snapshot taken
  with Start Review, with its status (modified, new, deleted, renamed) and
  lines added and removed, and updates while the agent works. Clicking a file
  opens its changes side by side with Keep and Revert for each change
  or the whole file; reverting is an ordinary edit, so Undo brings the change
  back and nothing is written until you save. Tick files off as reviewed; the
  status bar counts the rest. F8 and Shift+F8 s...

Strata 1.0.2

Easier-to-read text, and update checks on your schedule.

On 1.0.1? Choose Help ▸ Check for Updates… (or just reopen Strata if your last check was over an hour ago). From 1.0.2 on, Strata checks every time it opens and then every 4 hours by default.

What's changed

Changed

• Update checks: with automatic updates on, Strata checks every time it opens,
  then every 4 hours while it stays open. Choose 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 hours in
  Settings ▸ Help (update_check_interval_hours), or Manually only to check
  just from Help ▸ Check for Updates…. A new version appears as a small notice
  with Install and Relaunch, Later and Skip This Version.

• Easier-to-read interface text. The default interface size is now 14 pt (was
  13); settings.json files that set ui_font_size keep their size.
  Descriptions, hints and shortcuts are a point smaller than the interface
  size (they were about three-quarters of it) and never under 12 pt, and the
  Settings window's descriptions and settings.json keys are larger and
  darker. Secondary text now meets WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1) in every bundled
  color scheme, and a test keeps it that way.

• View ▸ Interface Size offers Small (12 pt), Default (14 pt), Large
  (16 pt) and Larger (18 pt); the Settings window and the welcome card offer
  the same four. The Settings window opens larger to fit bigger text, and the
  manual's contents, the command palette, the update notice and Compare's
  header grow with the interface size.

What's changed

Changed

• Update checks: with automatic checks on, Strata now looks when it opens (if
  the last check was over an hour ago) and every four hours while it stays
  open, so a new release shows up during a working session. It's still a small
  notice in the corner, never a pop-up.

Fixed

• Windows: crash reports and Help ▸ Report a Problem hide your user folder
  (C:\Users\<name>) like they do on macOS.
• Windows: Copy Relative Path uses \ separators.
• Closing a window right after opening its terminal no longer leaves the
  shell running in the background.
• Updated the cryptography libraries that check update signatures
  (ed25519-dalek 3, sha2 0.11).

Full changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.1

Strata 1.0.0-rc.1

The first release candidate of Strata, a fast, open-source code and text editor for macOS and Windows. Please try it and report anything that feels off (Help ▸ Report a Problem… fills in the details).

Downloads

Platform	File
macOS, any Mac (Apple silicon + Intel)	Strata-1.0.0-rc.1-universal.dmg

Windows 10/11, x64 (portable)	Strata-1.0.0-rc.1-windows-x64.zip

The .app.zip files and latest.json are used by the built-in updater; you don't need them.

First launch

• macOS: signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally. Open the DMG and drag Strata to Applications.
• Windows: unzip and run Strata.exe. The exe isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": choose More info ▸ Run anyway.

Checksums: every file has a .sha256. macOS: shasum -a 256 -c <file>.sha256. Windows: Get-FileHash <file> and compare.

Updates

Strata can tell you about new versions and install them with one click (signed and verified before anything is replaced). It asks once on first launch; you can change it under Settings ▸ Help or use Help ▸ Check for Updates…. Strata contacts GitHub only for this, only if you allow it, and sends no telemetry.

Known issues in this release candidate

• Windows is a release candidate in the truest sense: it builds and packages cleanly but hasn't been tested on real hardware yet, and the exe is unsigned.
• Screen readers can't read the editor area yet (keyboard-only use is fully supported).
• Linux isn't an official platform yet.
• egui doesn't shape complex scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari), and emoji are monochrome.

---

The first public release candidate. Everything below is new.

Editing

• Multiple cursors and box (column) selection, Quick Add Next, Find All as
  cursors, split selection into lines, and soft undo for cursor moves.
• Auto-closing brackets, smart indentation, comment toggling, line moves,
  duplicate, join, transpose, case conversion, sort/shuffle/unique lines, wrap
  paragraph at the ruler, paste and indent, paste from history.
• Word completions while typing, snippets in the .sublime-snippet format
  (fields, mirrors, variables, transforms) with built-ins for common
  languages.
• Code folding, bookmarks, Emacs-style mark and yank, macros that you can save
  and bind to keys.
• Spell check for comments, strings and prose with bundled US and UK English
  dictionaries, suggestions and a personal word list.
• Text tools: JSON format and minify, Base64, URL and HTML encoding, UUIDs and
  dates.

Navigation & Search

• Goto Anything for files, lines (:42), symbols (@name) and text
  (#text), and a command palette that lists every command with its shortcut.
• Go to line, go to symbol, go to definition, and jump back and forward.
• Find and replace with regular expressions, whole word, In Selection and
  Preserve Case.
• Find in Files and Replace in Files across whole folders, respecting
  .gitignore, with include and exclude patterns and an undo for the whole
  replacement.
• Search history: ↑ and ↓ in the find, replace and Find in Files fields.

Layout & Windows

• Tabs with preview tabs and drag to reorder; up to four split panes in
  columns, rows or a grid.
• Several views of one file, each with its own cursors, scroll and folds.
• Multiple windows, each with its own tabs, panes, folders and terminal.
• Projects: one or more folders in the side bar, saved as .strata-project
  files.
• Distraction-free mode and full screen.
• Hot exit: quit at any time; every window, tab and unsaved change comes back.

Built-in tools

• Terminal panel with tabs, true color and the color scheme's palette.
• Live Markdown preview with GitHub-style tables, task lists, alerts,
  footnotes and highlighted code, plus export to HTML.
• Compare two files, a file with another tab, or a file with its last Git
  commit, side by side and still editable.
• Build systems (Cargo, Python, Node, Go, C/C++, Make and more) with clickable
  errors, plus your own as JSON.
• Git change bars in the gutter and the current branch in the status bar;
  Copy Permalink (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) and Copy Relative Path.
• Printing and PDF export with syntax colors.
• A built-in manual (Help ▸ Documentation) with search, and a generated
  Keyboard Shortcuts page.
• Built-in updates (opt-in): Strata can tell you about new versions and
  install them; Help ▸ Check for Updates…. It asks on first launch.

Appearance

• 35 color schemes (Strata Dark and Light, One Dark, Dracula, Nord,
  Solarized, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Rosé Pine and more) that can
  follow the system's light or dark mode, each checked for WCAG AA contrast,
  plus two high-contrast schemes.
• Bring your own .tmTheme and .sublime-color-scheme files, or override
  single colors in settings.json.
• Bundled coding fonts (JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, IBM Plex Mono, Source Code
  Pro) with ligatures, and Inter for the interface.
• Minimap, indent guides, bracket pair colors, sticky scroll, rulers, color
  swatches, visible whitespace and cursor styles.
• A Settings window with search, applied live, and a short welcome card on the
  first launch.

Languages

• About 190 languages highlighted, from syntect's defaults and bat's
  collection, plus Strata's own PowerShell grammar.
• Symbols, smart indentation and comment toggling for many of them.
• Add your own .sublime-syntax files.
• EditorConfig support and per-language settings (syntax_settings).

Files & Safety

• Large files: a 95 MB, 1.6 million-line file opens highlighted in about
  0.6 s on an M-series Mac; minified one-line files stay responsive.
• 40 encodings, detected on open (including legacy ones such as Shift_JIS,
  GBK and KOI8), with Reopen with Encoding and Save with Encoding; LF and CRLF
  line endings.
• Optional auto save after a pause in typing.
• Images open in a preview, and other binary files in a read-only hex view.
• Atomic saves that keep symlinks and permissions and refuse text the chosen
  encoding can't hold.
• Files changed or deleted on disk are noticed and reloaded or flagged.
• Logs and crash reports stay on your computer; after a crash every unsaved
  tab is kept and the next launch offers the report.
• No telemetry. Strata contacts GitHub only to check for and download updates,
  and only if you allow it.

Platform

• macOS 11 or later, as a universal (Apple silicon and Intel) or Apple
  silicon DMG, signed with a Developer ID and notarized; native menu bar,
  Finder Open With and Dock drops, recent files in the Dock menu, and a
  strata shell command.
• Windows (x64), as a portable zip with the app icon and version
  details embedded in Strata.exe.
• The strata command opens files at a line and column, hands them to a
  running Strata, and can wait for tabs to close (-w, for $EDITOR and Git).

Known issues

• The Windows build has not yet been tested on real hardware, and
  Strata.exe is not code-signed, so SmartScreen warns on first run (More
  info ▸ Run anyway).
• No screen-reader support in the editor area yet.
• Linux builds compile but are not officially supported or packaged.
• Coding ligatures draw one cell per character, and complex scripts (Arabic,
  Indic and other shaped scripts) and right-to-left text are not fully laid
  out.
