Mufka 1.10.0

Pages that work like Notion's, from plain Markdown: a budget that adds itself up, a habit tracker, a weekly to-do board, projects with a status strip and a board, a job search board, and a Today page that gathers the week's tasks and habits. Any note can have an icon and a cover. In Obsidian they stay plain tables, headings and checklists.

Mufka 1.9.1

Tasks with any status character ([~], [/], [-]…) show as checked, as in Obsidian; clicking one makes it [ ]. Task lines with bold, code or links no longer break into separate rows, in notes and in Dataview task lists.

Mufka 1.9.0

Light theme: Settings > Appearance (System, Light, Dark; follows the system by default). Much faster with large vaults: on about 5,000 notes start-up goes from about 10 s to under 1 s, and search, backlinks, queries and the graph keep up.

Mufka 1.8.0

Version history and deleted-note recovery, find and replace in the note (⌘F / ⌥⌘F; vault search is now ⇧⌘F), search operators, coloured code blocks, pasting web pages as Markdown (⇧⌘V plain), tabs (⌘-click, ⌘W) and a right pane (⌥⌘-click), a properties editor (⌘;) and aliases, and a / insert menu.

Mufka 1.7.1

Resizable sidebar: drag its right edge to set the width, double-click to reset. The width is remembered.

Mufka 1.7.0

Mufka 1.7.0 opens an Obsidian vault without needing Obsidian.

Dataview

• ```dataview queries work: TABLE, LIST, TASK and CALENDAR, with FROM, WHERE, SORT, GROUP BY, FLATTEN, LIMIT and Dataview's functions, over frontmatter, key:: value fields, tasks and file.*.
• Inline `= this.field` shows its value. Ticking a task in a query result ticks it in its note.
• ```dataviewjs scripts run too, in a sandbox with no access to your files or the network.

Mermaid diagrams are drawn in the app's colours.

HTML in notes works for formatting (<kbd>, <details>, <br>, <mark>, tables…). Scripts, frames and styles never run.

Draw — a fourth mode (⌘4) with Excalidraw. Each drawing is a note in the Excalidraw folder, in the format of Obsidian's Excalidraw plugin, so it opens there too. Put ![[Sketch.excalidraw]] in a note to show it. Nothing is fetched from the internet.

PDF export now includes Dataview results, diagrams and drawings.

Downloads: Mufka-1.7.0-universal.dmg (Mac, signed by Calexis Labs and notarized by Apple) · Mufka-1.7.0-Setup.exe (Windows 10/11; SmartScreen: More info → Run anyway).

Google Calendar: until Google's review is done, its sign-in page says "Google hasn't verified this app" — choose Advanced, then Go to Mufka (unsafe).

Mufka 1.6.1

Changed

• Settings is one click away: a gear next to the notes folder at the bottom of the sidebar opens Settings (calendars, Wispr Flow). ⌘, (Ctrl+, on Windows) still works.
• New screenshots in the README and on mufka.app, showing the Tasks mode.

Install

• Mac: download Mufka-1.6.1-universal.dmg and drag Mufka to Applications, replacing the old one. Signed by Calexis Labs and notarized by Apple.

Your notes and plans stay. Requires macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit).

Mufka 1.6.0

New: Tasks

A third mode next to Notes and Planner — a board for each project. Open it with Tasks at the top left or ⌘3 (Ctrl+3 on Windows).

• Columns To do · In progress · Test · Done on every new board. They keep their names; remove one you don't need and Add column puts it back. Columns of your own go before Done and can be renamed.
• Tasks have a type (Feature, Bug, Chore), a priority (P1–P3), a due date, tags, a link (GitHub issues and pull requests read as #12) and a description whose - [ ] sub-tasks are counted on the task.
• New task and Add a task open one dialog with every field. Click a task to edit it in a side panel.
• Tasks in Done get a green tick and are struck through.
• Drag tasks between columns, or use ⌥←/⌥→ and ⌥↑/⌥↓ on a focused task. Delete removes, ⌘Z undoes. Filter by text, type, priority or tag.
• Each board is a Markdown note in the Tasks folder of your notes, in the format of Obsidian's Kanban plugin: open it in Obsidian and it is the same board; change it there and Mufka follows.

⌃Tab now goes round the three modes: Notes → Planner → Tasks.

Mufka 1.5.2

Changed

• The Mac app is signed by Calexis Labs and notarized by Apple. No more System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway: the first time, macOS only asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet — click Open.
• Mufka is now published by Calexis Labs (copyright and licence holder). Still free and open source under the MIT licence.

Updating from 1.5.1 or older on a Mac

The app's signature changed, so macOS may ask once more:

• Notifications — click Allow for plan reminders.
• "Mufka wants to use the 'Mufka Safe Storage' key in your keychain" — enter your Mac password and click Always Allow, so your calendar and Wispr Flow sign-ins keep working. If a connection says it is disconnected, connect it again in Settings.

Install

• Mac: download Mufka-1.5.2-universal.dmg and drag Mufka to Applications, replacing the old one.
• Windows 10/11 (64-bit): download Mufka-1.5.2-Setup.exe and run it. Edge may say the file is not commonly downloaded: ⋯ → Keep. SmartScreen may then say "Windows protected your PC": More info → Run anyway. (Nothing else changed on Windows.)

Your notes and plans stay. Requires macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit).

Mufka 1.5.1

Fixed

• Clicks in the sidebar work while a note is being edited. With a new, empty note open, the ⋯ menu did not open and a second folder or note could not be made — pressing a button saved the note and rebuilt the page before the button was released, so the click was lost. Found while testing on Windows; it happened on Mac too.
• Naming a new note or folder replaces the suggested name. Typing used to be added after "Untitled" or "New folder".

Install

• Windows 10/11 (64-bit): download Mufka-1.5.1-Setup.exe and run it. Edge may say the file is not commonly downloaded: ⋯ → Keep. SmartScreen may then say "Windows protected your PC": More info → Run anyway.
• Mac: download Mufka-1.5.1-universal.dmg and drag Mufka to Applications, replacing the old one. First launch: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Your notes and plans stay. Requires macOS 12 or later, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
