v1.1.0
Lockbook v1.1.0 - "Just better!"
A smoother, calmer release focused on startup responsiveness, better editing feedback, cleaner exports, and a nicer native file extension.
Highlights
New .lbook Journal Files
New journals are now created with the Lockbook-native .lbook extension.
Legacy .timenc-journal files are still fully supported and can still be opened normally. Existing journals do not need to be converted.
Faster, More Responsive Startup
Lockbook should no longer freeze during startup while checking for TimENC or running heavier background work.
Startup checks and TimENC-related operations were moved away from the UI path so the app stays clickable much sooner.
Live Title Updates
Entry title changes now update immediately across the app.
The sidebar, top bar, and window title now reflect the current entry title without needing to click away and back again.
Export All Entries
Markdown export now includes all journal entries in one file.
Each exported entry contains:
- Title
- Date
- Emotion
- Tags, when available
- Full entry text
Unsaved edits in the currently open entry are synced before export, so the exported file matches what you see in the editor.
Improvements
- Autosave/save handling is more robust when edits happen close together.
- The modified timestamp updates more reliably while editing.
- The app version is now consistently shown as
v1.1.0across package metadata, Tauri metadata, and the UI. - Internal documentation now reflects the new
.lbookformat while noting legacy compatibility.
Compatibility
Lockbook v1.1.0 can open:
.lbook.timenc-journal
New journals are created as:
.lbook
The encryption format is still TimENC-based, so the file extension changed, not the underlying protection model.
Summary
Lockbook v1.1.0 makes the app feel more native and polished: quicker startup, better live feedback while writing, complete journal exports, and the new .lbook extension for future journals.
