What's new in v1.0.50

Added

  • Paperling for Android. The full app, rebuilt for touch: a paper-first
    shell with Files / Outline / Read within thumb's reach, opening any .md
    from the system document picker or straight from a file manager via
    "Open with", saving back to your device's notes folder, Export as HTML into
    Downloads, system back-button handling that never eats unsaved work, and
    find-and-replace with proper mobile keyboard hints. The app menu carries
    New / Open / Save / Export / Find / Statistics / AI / Settings, Zen mode
    included. This first build is an arm64-v8a APK attached to the GitHub
    release — install it by allowing "install unknown apps" for your browser
    once. Modern Android phones only (Android 10+).
  • Zen mode. Press F9 (or pick it from the command palette) and everything
    but the page melts away: just your document, centered, in the reading
    typography. The canvas is editable in place with Ctrl+E, a top bar appears
    when you hover the screen edge, and the choice is remembered across
    launches.
  • Backlinks panel. The link icon in the status bar lists every note that
    links to the one you are reading, so following the trail backwards no
    longer means searching by hand.
  • Save conflicts are caught. If a file changed on disk after you opened
    it — another editor, a sync tool — Paperling now asks before overwriting
    instead of silently clobbering the newer copy, and can keep either side.
  • Unsaved tabs are marked. A tab holding unsubmitted changes shows a
    bullet next to its name, matching the • in the window title, so a quick
    glance tells you what still needs saving.
  • Optional Vim mode. Settings → Editor → "Vim mode" turns on modal
    editing in the editor: h/j/k/l movement, the full normal/insert/visual
    set, : commands. Everything else stays exactly as it was when it is
    off. (#119)
  • Three new themes and an accent color. Graphite, Nord and Midnight join
    Dark, Light, Paper and Dracula, and each theme's accent color can be
    tuned in Appearance. (#172)
  • Custom system fonts. Enter an installed font family in Appearance to use
    it across the interface, Markdown preview and exports, with Inter as a safe
    fallback. (#113)
  • Paperling remembers your window. Size, position and whether it was
    maximized are restored the next time you launch, instead of always reopening
    at the default 1000x700 in the middle of the screen. Thanks to
    @andychey.
  • Familiar shortcuts. Ctrl+F4 also closes the current tab, and F1 also
    opens the command palette, alongside the existing Ctrl+W and Ctrl+P. Thanks
    to @skycommand.
  • LM Studio preset. The AI settings now offer LM Studio next to Gemini,
    OpenAI and Ollama: pick it and the local server endpoint fills itself, no
    API key needed. (#115)
  • Chat history depth setting. Choose how many previous chat turns are sent
    with each AI panel message (Settings → AI, default 8). Lower it to save
    tokens with local models, or set 0 to make every message start fresh. (#111)
  • The AI panel is resizable. Drag its left edge to make it as wide as you
    need, or focus the edge and use the arrow keys. The width is remembered, and
    the editor reflows beside it as you drag. (#111)
  • Your chats are kept. Closing the AI panel or starting a new chat no longer
    throws the conversation away. Past chats are listed under the new history
    button in the panel header, survive restarting the app, and can be deleted
    individually. (#111)
  • The AI icon animation can be turned off. Settings → AI → "Animate the AI
    icon" switches the shimmer on the title-bar AI button off, leaving it as plain
    text. (#111)
  • New ways to install. Paperling is now packaged as a Nix flake (#117) and
    a portable Windows zip for Scoop (#48), and the macOS download is a single
    universal .dmg with honest Gatekeeper instructions (#94, #103).

Fixed

  • Wide tables no longer wreck the page. A table wider than the window
    used to push the whole document out sideways; wide tables now scroll
    inside their own box, in the app and in exports.
  • The Gemini preset points at a model that exists. Google retired
    gemini-2.5-flash for new API keys, so the preset's one-click setup
    handed every new user a broken model; it now fills gemini-3.6-flash
    (verified against the live API).
  • The PDF print dialog on Linux behaves. Exporting to PDF opened the
    system print dialog twice, and cancelling left the Export button spinning
    forever; it now opens once and the button frees up immediately.
  • The find bar stays put. Typing in Find used to bounce focus into the
    document a moment later, so the next keystroke could overwrite your
    matched text; focus now stays in the bar, and one find mechanism serves
    both the editor and reader modes.
  • The outline sheet respects the bottom bar on Android. Opening the
    table of contents used to cover the Files / Outline / Read bar; the bar
    now stays reachable so you can jump to Read or close the sheet without
    dismissing it first.
  • Hard-to-see text selection. In the Light and Paper themes, selecting text
    in the editor painted a dark block over dark text, so you could see what was
    selected but not read it; both themes now tint the selection instead. In every
    theme, the highlight on the line you are typing on also washed the selection
    out on that line, which is the one line every selection touches. That
    highlight now steps aside while text is selected. Thanks to
    @skycommand.
  • The About page now shows the version you are running. Settings, About
    reported only the app name, which made it awkward to file a bug report.
    Thanks to @skycommand.
  • Undo in the AI chat box. Ctrl+Z now works while typing a message in the
    AI panel; the composer no longer resets the native undo history on Linux.
    (#111)
  • Find now searches AI suggested changes properly. While reviewing an AI
    edit, Ctrl+F only looked at the proposed text, so words sitting in the removed
    lines were never found: you could see four matches on screen and the bar would
    say two, with next/previous skipping the ones you were looking at. Find now
    covers both sides of the diff and steps through them in the order they appear
    on screen. Replace still only touches the proposed text, since the removed
    lines are the version being replaced. (#111)
  • API keys are no longer sent unencrypted. If an AI endpoint used plain
    http:// and pointed at anything other than your own machine, the key went
    over the network in the clear. Paperling now refuses that request and says so
    in Settings, AI. Local servers keep working exactly as before: http:// is
    still fine for localhost and 127.0.0.1, and a keyless server on your home
    network is still allowed, since there is no key to expose. (#91)

Security

  • The webview has no filesystem permissions at all. Exports used to
    carry a blanket write grant into every folder the save dialog could
    reach; all export writes now go through one validated Rust command
    (dialog-chosen path, size-capped, mobile-sandboxed), so a compromised
    renderer cannot read, enumerate, rename or delete files. (#91, #188)
  • The Android app is sandboxed by default. File commands are confined
    to the app's private storage, the JavaScript bridge only answers the
    app's own origin, AI keys and notes are excluded from cloud backups,
    PDF export staging files are unguessable, and the release content
    security policy allows nothing remote.

Installation

  • Windows: .msi (recommended) or .exe (NSIS installer)
  • Linux: .deb or .AppImage
  • macOS: .dmg (Apple Silicon + Intel, universal)
  • Android: Paperling_1.0.50_aarch64.apk attached below (arm64-v8a; allow "install unknown apps" once)
