MySelf 1.5

What's new

Book Notes

• A library for what you read. Keep books on shelves (continue reading, want to read and your own categories), or browse them as a grid or list with search and sort.
• Notes for every book. Open a book to see its details beside its reading notes, in the same editor as the rest of your notes. Each note can have a page or chapter.
• Status, progress and covers. Track your page, and upload a cover or use a generated one in a colour you pick.
• Find it in the sidebar or with ⌘9, or turn it off in Settings › Features.

Links between notes

• Link any note to another. Type [[, press ⇧⌘L or use the toolbar button, then search for a note or create a new one.
• Preview and open. Hover over a link to preview the note, and click to open it in its own window. This works in reader mode too.
• See the connections. "Linked notes" and "Mentioned in" appear under each note.

Fixes

• Widgets can no longer change the app's database. Widgets now wait for the app to open the database after an update, so they may look empty until you open MySelf once.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.5.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. Open MySelf once on each Mac. Update all your Macs: Book Notes syncs only between Macs running 1.5.

MySelf 1.4

What's new

Desktop widgets

• Ten widgets: This Week, Today's Focus, Today, Next Exam, Next Classes, Job Study, Capture, Syllabus, Revise Next and Office.
• Act from the desktop. Tick off a task in Today's Focus, or add a revision in Revise Next, without opening the app.
• Choose what they show. Syllabus and Revise Next can be configured, and widgets link straight to the matching page in the app.

iCloud sync with nothing to set up

• Sync now uses your private iCloud database instead of a folder in iCloud Drive, so there's no folder to pick. Your Macs on the same Apple Account stay in sync on their own.
• Appearance and feature visibility sync too.

Signed and notarized

• The DMG is now notarized by Apple, so MySelf opens without a security warning. No more "Open Anyway" or xattr.

Coming from 1.3.1 or earlier

MySelf has a new bundle ID (com.quorrelapps.myself), so your data needs to be imported once. Your old data isn't changed or deleted.

1. Open MySelf 1.4. It offers to import from the earlier version once; you can also find this in Settings › General › Data.
2. If you synced through an iCloud Drive folder, choose that folder in Settings › iCloud › Import a sync folder.

Importing on each Mac is safe: repeated imports don't create duplicates.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.4.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.

MySelf 1.3.1

What's improved

Job Study

• Subjects and topics scroll inside their cards. The page no longer scrolls as a whole, so the subject's title, progress and filters stay in view while you scroll through a long topic list, and the Subjects totals stay at the bottom of their card. Each card is only as tall as its content until it reaches the bottom of the window. In a narrow window the cards stack and the page scrolls as before.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.3.1.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. The app isn't notarized, so you may need to allow it again in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Myself.app.
4. If MySelf says it can't open your sync folder, choose the same folder again in Settings › iCloud.

MySelf 1.3

What's new

Job Study

• Reorder topics by dragging. Drag a topic onto another to place it above, or onto "Add topic…" to move it to the end. A line shows where it will land, ⌘Z undoes a move, and the new order syncs to your other Macs.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.3.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. The app isn't notarized, so you may need to allow it again in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Myself.app.
4. If MySelf says it can't open your sync folder, choose the same folder again in Settings › iCloud.

MySelf 1.2.3

What's new

Faster everywhere

• Typing in a note redraws only the block you're editing. Before, every keystroke rebuilt every block in the note and the whole note list.
• Switching pages is quicker. A page switch no longer rebuilds the menu bar and every window, and pages are laid out once at their real width instead of twice.
• Smoother scrolling in long lists, especially Job Study. Hovering over rows while scrolling no longer redraws each row, and cards no longer redraw their whole contents for their shadow.
• Opening a subject with many topics is faster. Job Study builds only the rows on screen.
• Opening a long note in reader mode is faster. Its text is built once instead of about three times.

Notes

• Numbered lists in reader mode line up properly. From item 10 on, the text no longer drops onto the line below the number.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.2.3.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. The app isn't notarized, so you may need to allow it again in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Myself.app.
4. If MySelf says it can't open your sync folder, choose the same folder again in Settings › iCloud.

MySelf 1.2.2

What's fixed

Notes

• Fixed a crash when pressing ⌘Z (Undo) after editing a block and clicking out of it. Undo still works while you're typing in a block; once you leave it, its typing can no longer be undone.
• Titles and blocks no longer wrap too early. A title could break onto two lines and run into the "Edited" line below it. Reader mode text now always follows the window's width.
• Select across blocks while editing. Drag a text selection above or below the block you're typing in and it selects whole blocks, as in Notion. ⌘C and ⌘X copy or cut the selected blocks as markdown.

Sync

• Much less work while typing. Notes are saved after a 2-second pause in typing, at least every 10 seconds while you keep typing, and when you switch away from MySelf or quit. Before, a note was written, uploaded and the whole sync folder re-read every few seconds for as long as you typed, so the sidebar kept switching to "Syncing…".

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.2.2.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. The app isn't notarized, so you may need to allow it again in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Myself.app.
4. If MySelf says it can't open your sync folder, choose the same folder again in Settings › iCloud.

MySelf 1.2.1

What's fixed

Notes

• A note's own window now uses its full width. The text fills the window with fixed margins on each side instead of staying in a narrow column.
• Reader mode no longer gets stuck at a narrow width. Text, tables and dividers now follow the window's width.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.2.1.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.

4. If MySelf says it can't open your sync folder, choose the same folder again in Settings › iCloud.

MySelf 1.2

What's new

Notes

• Tables: add one from the toolbar, /table or a block's Turn Into menu, or paste a markdown table. Tables show as a grid with a shaded header row and support bold, links, code and $math$ in cells, plus left, centre and right column alignment. Click a table to edit its markdown with a live preview: Tab jumps to the next cell, and Add Row / Add Column keep the columns lined up. Reader mode shows tables too, and you can select and copy across them.
• Bengali now uses SF Bangla, the Mac's own Bengali font, instead of the bundled Hind Siliguri. Body text is lighter (300), and conjuncts like যুগসন্ধিক্ষণ render correctly everywhere, including reader mode.
• Bold text (**bold**) is now medium weight (500) instead of 700.

Important

Update every Mac that syncs the same folder. Version 1.1 can't read notes that contain a table.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.2.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. The app isn't notarized, so you may need to allow it again in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Myself.app.

MySelf 1.1

What's new

Notes

• Images: paste a screenshot or image into a line, drop a file on an image block, or pick one from the toolbar or /image. Click an image, or its zoom button, to open it in a zoomable window (⌘+ ⌘− ⌘0, pinch, double-click; Esc closes). Image files sync with your notes and are deleted when no note uses them.
• Reader mode (⇧⌘R, or the book button): locks a note and shows it as one page, so you can select and copy text across headings, lists and code.
• Block selection like Notion: Esc selects the current block, ⌘A twice selects every block, and dragging or Shift-clicking selects a range. Delete removes them, with undo.
• Paste markdown: pasted text with headings, lists, checklists, quotes, code fences and math turns into matching blocks.
• Bengali in Hind Siliguri, with SF Pro for English. The per-note font menu is gone.
• Fixed a freeze when pasting a long Bengali document.

Product Dev

• Boards now have their own labels (Feature, Bug, Design, Marketing, Infra, Research), separate from TODO labels. Add or delete them from the card sheet. Cards keep the labels they already had.

App

• Check for Updates (in the MySelf menu, and once a day automatically, which you can turn off in Settings › General) tells you when a new release is out.
• If MySelf can't open your sync folder after an update, it now tells you and asks you to choose it again, instead of quietly saving on this Mac only.

Important

Update every Mac that syncs the same folder. Version 1.0 can't read notes that contain images, and shows Product Dev labels among the TODO ones.

Install

1. Download MySelf-1.1.dmg below. It needs macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.
2. Quit MySelf, open the DMG and drag Myself into Applications, replacing the old version.
3. The app isn't notarized, so you may need to allow it again in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Myself.app.
4. If MySelf says it can't open your sync folder, choose the same folder again in Settings › iCloud.

From 1.1 on, MySelf will tell you when the next version is available.
