Mutiny v0.9.0-beta.4

• Types of text and templates: + New asks what you're writing — an essay (Peterson, Dialectic, Toulmin, They say / I say, Pyramid SCQA, Exploratory, Five paragraphs), free writing (Free, Morning pages), a blog post (Opinion, How-to, List), a newsletter (Personal letter, Digest), a script (Long video, Short, Podcast) or a speech (Talk, Toast). Each form brings its own outline of guiding questions, and a text's form can be changed later in Goals & settings. Existing essays are Essay · Peterson.
• Shelves by type: + New files a text on the shelf for its type, making it the first time; the + on a shelf keeps it there. New shelves go in above My voice. The first run asks what you write and makes those shelves.
• The bottom bar shows reading time for blog posts and newsletters, and time out loud — against a target length — for scripts and speeches.
• Details per type in Goals & settings → This text: meta description and slug, email subject and preheader, target length.
• Exports: Markdown for a website (with front matter for Astro, Hugo, Jekyll…), Copy with formatting to paste into WordPress, Ghost, Medium or Substack, and a large-type PDF to read scripts and speeches aloud from.
• The assistant follows the template: each type and form gets its own critique (Toulmin's claim, grounds and warrant; a blog's hook and call to action; a script's hook, pacing and how it sounds out loud…); in Exploratory and Free writing it asks questions instead of correcting; Versions and the Chat know what kind of text it is.
• The interface says "text" instead of "essay" wherever it means any kind of text.

Install

The builds are not signed with paid Apple or Microsoft certificates, so your system asks once before opening Mutiny.

• Windows — Mutiny-0.9.0-beta.4-windows-setup.exe (or -portable.exe). SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway.
• macOS — …-mac-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or …-mac-x64.dmg (Intel). Drag to Applications, then right-click → Open → Open the first time. If it says "damaged": xattr -cr /Applications/Mutiny.app.
• Linux — …-linux-x86_64.AppImage (or arm64): chmod +x and run. On Omarchy, scripts/install-linux.sh <AppImage> from a clone installs it with a menu entry.
