TrailMark v0.5.4
TrailMark is a free, open-source Markdown app: read what your AI writes, write what it reads. It opens any .md
file as a clean page, keeps notes that save themselves, and turns a project folder into an IDE for following your
agents. It works with any AI tool, or none: it only relies on your files and git.
TrailMark speaks Italian, the light theme comes in softer tones, and the Git letters explain themselves.
Added
- Soft light tones. Settings → Light tone adds Paper (warm cream), Sage (soft green) and Gray (soft warm gray) beside the plain
White of the light theme, for readers who find pure white tiring. The tone applies whenever the theme is light (also when System picks
light), in every window (the welcome screen and Notes too), and is kept across projects; the dark theme ignores it. Text, links, code and git
colours are tuned for each tone so every pair keeps at least the contrast it has on white. - The Git letters are explained. Hover over a badge in the Explorer for what it means in plain words ("M · Modified: this file changed since
your last visit..."), or open What do these letters mean? from the info button in the status bar or from the Explorer menu: it lists M, A, U,
D, R and C, and says that TrailMark only reads Git and never commits, stages or creates repositories. - Italiano (Italian). The interface now comes in Italian besides English, Português (Brasil), Español, Deutsch and 简体中文.
Settings → Language lists it, and System default picks it for any Italian system language (it-IT,it-CHand the others). The
Windows installer offers it, "Open with TrailMark" in the file manager is worded in it ("Apri con TrailMark"), and the Microsoft Store
package declares it. Thanks to @kelvin-mariano for the translation.
Fixed
- Buttons look like buttons again in the Settings, tag and agent panels, and the tag editor's Done is readable in the dark theme.
- A tag that was typed but not yet added is kept when the tag editor closes (Done, Esc or a click outside); a hint says Enter adds it.
- Long lists show their scrollbar: with hundreds of files the thumb no longer shrinks out of sight.
- Links in the light theme have more contrast.
Changed
- Settings are grouped into Reading, Editing, Integration and Updates, and long explanations fold behind an info button.
- 简体中文 wording follows a native speaker's review (批注 for comments, a clearer note / caution pair, 描述, 基准).
- The Initialize dialog and the hint to keep settings with the project say what they do: no repository is created and nothing is committed,
and the lines forcache/andlocal/describe what they hold.

The app is not code-signed yet
The installers are unsigned, so your system warns you the first time. They are built by GitHub Actions
from the tagged commit, and the in-app updates are verified with a signature.
Windows (SmartScreen). If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
macOS (Gatekeeper). If macOS says it can't verify TrailMark, open System Settings, Privacy & Security,
scroll to the Security section and click Open Anyway. On older macOS versions you can right-click the
app and choose Open instead. From a terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TrailMark.app.
Linux. Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x TrailMark_*.AppImage) and run it, or install the .deb / .rpm.
