v0.2.0 — sidebar modules, background agents, note importers

• Sidebar modules: rearrange your workspace around how you think
• Background agents: long-running jobs handled outside the chat thread
• Note importers: bring in Markdown from other tools
• Fixes: date context, groundedness, model picker, doctor output

Persona v0.1.0

Persona v0.1.0 — initial open-source release

Local-first personal workspace. Write notes, track tasks, and chat with an AI that knows your files — everything stored as plain Markdown on your machine. No accounts, no cloud, no database.

Highlights

• Write — file tree + Markdown editor with autosave, live preview, tabs, drag & drop, and AI-generated tags
• Tasks — natural-language quick add (Buy domain tomorrow #personal !), recurring tasks, AI triage
• Chat — write-capable AI assistant with workspace context (@file.md, @folder, @tasks) that can manage notes and tasks for you
• Semantic search — local embeddings index; powers ⌘P, persona search, and chat context
• Pinboard — pin notes and tasks to the top of your sidebar
• Terminal — persona note, persona task, persona triage, persona ask, persona search, persona doctor
• Voice input (macOS) — local speech-to-text via parakeet.cpp, runs on Metal
