GitPad 1.0.6
Changelog
1.0.6 — 2026-11-07
Visual pass: the "Warm Graphite" palette, rounded surfaces, Hanken Grotesk as
the UI font, and matching scrollbars and file icons.
Added
- File icons from the vscode-icons set (vscode-icons-js + vendored MIT SVGs),
replacing the five hand-drawn glyphs. - Thin scrollbars (8px) in the theme's own colours: light grey on dark,
dark grey on light, cyan on high contrast; always visible, brightening on
hover. Editor scrollbars keep step. - Drag handles on every splitter: a 4px bar inside the gap, transparent at
rest, border-strong under the pointer, accent while dragging. The timeline
height handle keeps a visible pill. - History and File Timeline: hash + date on one line, message on the next;
Restore / Revert reach the 32px desktop target. - Settings: controls capped at 280px, tab content on surface-0 under a
surface-1 dialog, the dark-only override block removed (tokens invert by
themselves).
Changed
- Warm Graphite surfaces, borders, text and muted tones across all three
themes (dark, light, hc-black). - Radii scale: 6 / 9 / 14 / 18, panel gutters 8px, tab bar 40px, status bar
26px, title bar 38px. - Type scale: 10 / 11 / 12.5 / 14 / 16 / 20 px via CSS variables, all 71
hardcoded sizes replaced. - UI font: Hanken Grotesk (variable 400–700, latin subset) bundled and
preloaded, system-ui fallback. - Monaco themes aligned to the palette (dark, light; hc-black unchanged).
- Markdown preview warmed (headings, tables, blockquotes, links, inline code)
via scoped overrides; syntax palette untouched. - Dialogs and overlays use the 18px overlay radius with the two-level
shadow; menus and toasts use the first level. - Active row in the file tree, palette and tabs marked by an inset accent
bar (2px) instead of a background fill.
Fixed
- The keyring probe runs off the main thread; the onboarding no longer
waits for it before polling. - Light theme sidebar surface now one step darker than the editor so the
two panels read as separate layers. - Command palette list retriggers after backspace;
/h1../h6accept a
digit after the hash;/sublistand/subnumberwork. - File timeline restore buttons no longer flicker between half and full
opacity; they are always fully visible. - Settings hover tab no longer looks identical to the active tab.
Unreleased
Added
- The
/menu in Markdown notes: type/at the start of a line to insert a
heading, emphasis, a code block with its language, a table, a task list and
the rest of GitHub-flavoured Markdown, nested lists included. With text
selected the command wraps it instead of inserting a placeholder. - Markdown tables edit themselves:
TabandShift+Tabwalk the cells and add
a row at the end, and/row,/col,/delrow,/delcolinside a cell
change the shape. Each change re-renders the table with its columns aligned.
1.0.5 — 2026-11-06
Browser sign-in shows its code again.
Fixed
- "Login with GitHub" no longer freezes the window. Opening the browser was
waiting on the main thread, so the device code was never painted and the
polling never started; the opener now runs off that thread, and the code and
the polling start before the browser is up.
1.0.4 — 2026-11-06
Notes land next to your documents, and the editor chrome got a pass.
Added
- New repositories are cloned next to your documents
(~/Documents/gitpad_notes) instead of a hidden app-data folder. The wizard
shows the path before it starts and still lets you pick another folder. - The command palette splits a path into the folder and the file name, so the
name keeps its weight and only the leading folders truncate. - The setup wizard is one card per step, and a missing repository is an
ordinary state instead of an error.
Fixed
- Restoring or reverting from the sidebar History no longer closes the open
tab: the editor re-reads the file in place. - The undo and redo arrows follow the undo stack and stay disabled when there
is nothing to undo or redo. - The disabled Restore in the file timeline no longer lights up on hover, and
disabled arrows read as disabled. - Settings controls share one height (the inputs were two pixels taller than
the select next to them), and the selected tab no longer looks like a
hovered one.
1.0.3 — 2026-11-05
Sign-in without a keyring, a reworked history, and a safer editor.
Added
- The GitHub token now survives restarts without an OS keyring: it is kept in
auth.token(mode 0600) under the app data directory, and removed on logout
or when the keyring accepts it again. - Restore removed folders from History: a commit that only deletes files
gets a "Restore N deleted items" action. - History is grouped by day (Today/Yesterday/date), commits are cards coloured
by action, and the expander has its own rail. - The editor and the file history are separate, resizable frames with a centred
drag grip. - Confirmation dialogs are in-app and centred (restore, revert, discard, exit).
- Folders-first is independent of the sort order.
- Notifications have warning/error/info severity colours.
Fixed
- Discarding a conflicted file no longer deletes it; discard refuses and points
to the conflict dialog. Staged deletions are restored from HEAD. - A slow file-history request can no longer overwrite the current tab or the
newly expanded commit. - Global shortcuts no longer fire behind the confirmation dialog, and Escape no
longer closes the history behind it. - The history panel is clamped to the editor column when the window shrinks.
dompurifyis forced to 3.4.17 for Monaco, closing a critical advisory.- The Arch/source package now compiles the device-flow client id, so both
sign-in paths work outside the AppImage.
1.0.2 — 2026-11-05
The Arch package started with a blank window asking for a dev server.
Fixed
- The
PKGBUILDnow builds with thetauri/custom-protocolfeature. Without it
the installed binary is treated as a development build and loads
http://localhost:1420, which is why 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 frommakepkgshowed
Could not connect to localhost: Connection refused. The AppImage was never
affected: the Tauri CLI sets that feature itself. - CI compiles that same packaging build on every push, so the two build paths
cannot drift apart again.
1.0.1 — 2026-11-05
Signing in on a machine whose keyring is unavailable, and opening links from a
minimal desktop.
Fixed
- GitHub login no longer fails without a keyring. When the Secret Service is
missing, locked, or unreachable, the token is kept for the current session
instead of aborting the device flow, and the app says so with a toast at
startup and a note under the login form. - The session bus is found again. If
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESSis not set,
GitPad falls back to$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus, so a launcher that drops the
environment no longer breaks the keyring. - Links open on a bare desktop. "Create a token", the device-flow page and
profile links tryxdg-open, thengio open, and copy the URL with a notice
when neither works. Every attempt is written to the log. - Failing to open the browser no longer cancels the device flow.
1.0.0 — 2026-11-04
First stable release. GitPad is a desktop editor for markdown notes kept in a
Git repository you own.

Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y. - Find and replace:
Ctrl+FandCtrl+R, themed and no longer shifting the
first line of the document.
Git and sync
