Release Kern 0.2.1 · Relf-cc/Kern-App

What's new

Register Windows Hello (face, fingerprint or PIN) or a USB security key in Settings → Privacy & security, then require one to open any project you choose.
A locked project keeps its name in the sidebar but gives up nothing else until a passkey answers for it: no tasks, notes, whiteboards, comments, attachments, search hits, recents, counts or linked folders.
Set how long a project stays open after you unlock it, from a few minutes to until Kern quits.
Passkeys belong to the computer they were made on, while the lock itself follows the project across your devices — so each computer registers its own passkey to open it. If you lose a security key or reset Windows Hello, a reset clears every passkey and lock on that computer so nothing is ever stranded.
Worth being clear about: this is an access gate on the running app, not encryption. Your database file holds the same rows as before, so treat it as a lock on the front door rather than a safe.

Blur the window when you switch to another app, so nothing is readable over your shoulder.
Keep text out of notifications, showing only that something happened.
Expire folder trust after a number of days, so a folder you trusted once doesn't stay trusted forever.
Turn off the list of recently opened projects, notes and whiteboards.
Turn off syntax highlighting downloads separately from the main network switch.

Windows: download Kern_0.2.1_x64-setup.exe. Existing installs update themselves.

This release is Windows only. Linux builds stay on 0.2.0 for now and will catch up in the next release.
