Offline and search

  • Read the HackMD notes you have opened, and the workspace lists you have seen, offline and after a restart. They are marked Cached; turn this off or clear it in Settings → General → Offline and search.
  • Search notes now matches note text, in English and Chinese, and shows the matching words. Local Vault searches every note; HackMD searches the notes you have opened, without downloading others.

Links, books, templates and slides

  • Link and embed notes the way HackMD does: pick a note while typing [text]( or {%hackmd , see embeds and {%preview %} as cards, open linked notes in a tab, and find backlinks under Note Details → Linked from.
  • Read a HackMD book with its contents beside the editor and Previous / Next Chapter, or open any note as a book.
  • Start notes from a top-level Templates folder with New Note from Template…, and save a note as a template.
  • Present a note as full-screen reveal.js slides, with speaker notes hidden, slide and element attributes, stepped code highlights, math and themes from slideOptions.

AI writing

  • Ask Your Notes answers a question from the current workspace's notes with your Codex or Claude CLI, lists its sources and cites them as [1], [2] that open the note. Follow-up questions keep the conversation.
  • Compare AI changes against the whole note before replacing or inserting them.
  • Version History and save conflicts share one comparison view with unified and split layouts.

Maintenance

  • Develop and build with Node.js 26 and pnpm 12, and update Zod and DOMPurify for security advisories.

Beta notes

  • Beta installers remain unsigned. Automatic updates remain disabled for beta builds. Download beta.9 manually and close the previous version before opening it.
  • The first start builds a text index of the active Local Vault under ~/.hackdesk/cache. HackMD notes are added to it only when you open them.
  • Ask Your Notes sends your question and the matching passages to your AI provider, like other AI actions. Slides do not support speaker view or PDF export yet.
