What’s new

• Select a passage and ask Writing assist a question. Conversations stay attached to the text and are saved independently for each draft.
• Replies stream into the conversation, with an inline thinking shimmer, cancellation, and retry.
• Writing assist comments survive edits outside their passages. Optional automatic reviews follow meaningful edits after a pause.
• Compare alternate drafts with changed-line highlights and a remembered split position.
• Cleaner conversation cards with distinct role labels, a sticky reply box, automatic focus, and smooth expand/collapse transitions.
• Reuse an authorized Langdock key during the app session to reduce repeated Keychain prompts. Automatic reviews wait quietly for the first manual authorization.

Suggested rewrites still require explicit acceptance. A Keychain prompt can still occur after installing a new ad-hoc-signed build.

New: Stash

Keep loose thoughts, cut passages, and reference links in a Markdown stash shared across a draft family. Open it from the bottom-right corner or with Shift-Command-J; Escape tucks it away.

• Independent autosave, undo, and remembered writing position.
• A taller paper panel that meets the bottom edge, with aligned text and a quick spring animation.
• Shared notes survive branching, renaming, and removing drafts. The Writing menu provides Finder access to retained notes and recovery files.
• A hands-on stash exercise in new welcome documents; existing writing is preserved.

Writing and navigation

• Roomier line spacing in the editor and stash, with aligned wrapped lists.
• Stash grows vertically with its contents and uses a compact pull tab.
• Sidebar documents sort by recent edits and reopen the last-used draft, with a compact branch count.
• Move between title, goal, and body with arrow keys, Enter, or Tab. Typing a divider places the caret on a new line.
• Better caret and inline-code alignment.
• Copy Markdown from the top-right document menu.

Appearance

Choose System, Light, or Dark in Settings, now accessible from the bottom-left of the sidebar. Dark mode uses a restrained, neutral palette.

• Adjust writing text size and line spacing, with a live preview.
• Turn spelling underlines on or off, or restore the writing defaults.
• Show or hide the dotted canvas.
• Save, replace, or remove a Langdock API key in macOS Keychain. Saved keys are never displayed or stored in your writing files.

This prepares Matilde for future AI features. No writing is sent to Langdock, and no AI requests are enabled yet.
