Tessel v1.4.1
Tessel v1.4.1
Tessel 1.4.1 turns handwriting into a first-class part of the PDF workspace
and adds a low-latency tablet companion that works over the local network.
Handwritten notebooks
- Keep one fixed notebook beside each PDF page, opening on the left by default.
- Add any number of vertically scrollable sheets inside the notebook; existing
left and right canvases are preserved as sheets in the new layout. - Draw with pressure-sensitive strokes, choose color and size, or enable
stylus-only mode so fingers remain available for navigation. - Lasso strokes to move, resize, or delete them.
- Send a lasso selection to the current AI conversation as a PNG attachment.
Tessel creates a page conversation and prepares the attachment when no chat
is open, without sending a prompt automatically.
Tablet companion
- Open the local handwriting page from the QR code in Settings while the
tablet and computer share a network. - Browse every notebook sheet, create and delete sheets, move the whole
notebook between PDF sides, and use the canvas in fullscreen. - Stream frame-batched stroke previews with persisted commits for low latency.
- Keep pen coordinates stable while the browser resizes or the sheet list is
moving, and allow edge strokes to be selected reliably.
Interface and reliability
- Restyle the tablet interface to match Tessel's restrained yellow, ink, and
paper visual language across desktop, landscape tablet, and narrow screens. - Use a compact notebook header and a narrow modern internal scrollbar.
- Keep handwritten notebooks aligned with their PDF page through zoom changes
and clear of an open conversation dock. - Expand the release regression suite to 30 passing scenarios, including the
complete desktop and local-network handwriting flows.
The installer updates only the application bundle. Existing PDFs, reading
sessions, settings, credentials, conversations, and handwritten strokes remain
in Electron's user-data directory.
