InkDo 0.8.0

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 2026

A new Share pop-over, images and drawings that sync both ways, and calmer faces.

• Added · Share opens in two tabs. Share: invite people by email with a role, change a role or remove someone (with Undo), and one link with its own role menu. Publish: the read-only page, as before.
• Added · Images and drawings in shared notes sync both ways, between the Mac app and the web.
• Change · A link keeps its URL when you change its role.
• Change · Co-editors' faces in the title bar are calmer. Hover one to see who, their role and where they are.
• Fixed · A missing profile heals itself; no more ? in place of your photo.
• Fixed · Turning a link on right as the note opens no longer turns it off again.

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 2026

Skills for ⌘J, a tidier sidebar, and images in shared notes.

InkDo 0.5.0

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 2026

Markdown marks stay out of the way, and InkDo starts faster.

• Added · Markdown marks: **, _, # and the other marks are hidden. To see them around the caret instead: Settings → Editor → Markdown marks → At cursor, ⌘K, or the View menu.
• Added · Hold ⌥ to peek at the hidden marks.
• Added · Ways to unformat with the marks hidden:
  • Press the same key again, such as ⌘B inside bold text.
  • Click the format in the selection toolbar.
  • Press Backspace or Delete at the edge of formatted text. The marks go and the text stays.
• Change · Faster startup: Settings, Export, History, Search and the shortcut sheet load the first time you open them.

InkDo 0.4.1

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 2026

A patch for 0.4: the note's Markdown at a keystroke, your Google photo, and smaller fixes.

• Added · Source view: ⌘/ shows the note's raw Markdown with line numbers, full width. ⌘/ again goes back. It's also in the View menu.
• Added · If you signed in with Google, your Google photo shows on your account button. Sign out and back in once to see it.
• Change · Comments: a clearer Comment button when you select text in the app, a short note when a Reader opens an empty Comments pane, and a softer backdrop behind the comment sheet on phones.
• Change · Export: shorter notes under each option, and "Set by front matter" where the note itself sets the value.
• Fixed · Tables inside list items show and edit as tables.
• Fixed · A horizontal rule exports in every PDF look.

InkDo 0.4.0

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 2026

Share a note: a read page, comments and co-editing, while your .md stays on your Mac.

• Added · Share (⌘⌥S, or Share in the title bar) publishes the open note as a read page with one switch: a link to copy, an optional password, and Stop publishing that takes it down at once. Update, or Live to republish as you save.
• Added · Invite people as Reader, Commenter or Editor. Editors type in the same note at the same time, in the app or in the browser, and every edit lands in your .md in its own line endings.
• Added · Comments: select text to start a thread, reply, react and resolve, in the app and on the shared page.
• Added · Publish a deck as slides on the web, or a folder book as a site with a page per chapter.
• Added · Sign in with an email link, a passkey or Google. Your Mac signs in through your browser with a code you type there; the account lives in the Keychain.
• Added · Leave whenever you like: download everything you shared as a zip, or delete the account and all of it.
• Added · Wet ink: the words you just typed settle from a soft ink to the text colour. Settings → Editor → Off, Quiet or Ink.
• Change · Nothing leaves your Mac until you press Share. The free plan holds 50 shared notes.

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 4, 2026

Bold and italic are back in the built-in themes, plus your own fonts.

• Fixed · Bold, italic and strikethrough show again in the Ink, Paper and Studio themes (0.3.0 drew them as plain text).

InkDo 0.3.0

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · November 4, 2026

Academic export: typeset papers, citations, numbered figures, Word, LaTeX, books and slides.

• Fixed · Settings → AI could ask for your Mac password to show whether a key is saved. It now checks a key exists without reading it; a key is read only when an AI request is sent.
• Fixed · Temporary files left in app data by an interrupted save are now cleaned up at launch.
• Added · Typeset PDF: ⌘E → PDF → Look: Typeset makes a properly typeset paper (footnotes at the foot of the page, page numbers, Arabic right to left) in five styles: Article, Classic, Manuscript, Two-column and Report. Theme PDF, the look you know, stays.
• Added · Pandoc and Typst, the two programs behind the new exports, download once from their own GitHub releases the first time you need them (57 MB), then work offline. Settings → Export shows them and removes them.
• Added · Citations: keep a .bib file (Zotero's Better BibTeX keeps one up to date) or CSL JSON beside your notes and write [@key]. In the editor a citation reads "(Smith, 2020)", shows its source when you rest on it, and @ lists your library. Exports format citations and the reference list in APA 7, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, Harvard or MLA (Settings → Export), or a .csl file you name.
• Added · Cross-references: label a figure, table, equation or section ({#fig-map}, as in Quarto) and write @fig-map. The editor and every export show the same "Figure 1". Settings → Export turns numbering of equations, figures and tables on or off.
• Added · Word: an editable .docx with named styles, real equations and footnotes, in Georgia; a Manuscript style is double-spaced with line numbers.
• Added · LaTeX source: a folder with main.tex, the figures and references.bib, ready for Overleaf or a journal.
• Added · A folder as a book: a note that lists chapters as wiki links becomes one book in Typeset PDF, Word, LaTeX or one web page, with parts, numbered chapters, figures numbered by chapter ("Figure 2.3"), lettered appendices and one reference list. ⌘K → Export as book…
• Added · Slides: a line of --- starts a slide. Export a self-contained HTML deck (it works offline; F for full screen), PDF slides or an editable PowerPoint file, in your theme.
• Added · Community themes: Settings → Appearance → Community opens a shelf of themes to install, the 11 Phycat palettes among them. Import your own theme.css, or submit one.
• Change · When an export can't finish, one line says why and what to do: offline, a download cut short, a full disk, or Pandoc or Typst stopping on a line of your note, which it names.

Exports that need Pandoc or Typst (Typeset PDF, Word, LaTeX, PDF slides, PowerPoint) download them once from their own GitHub releases: Pandoc 3.13 (43 MB, GPL-2.0+) and Typst 0.15.1 (14 MB, Apache-2.0). InkDo checks each file against a pinned SHA-256 before installing it.

InkDo 0.2.0

Apple silicon (M1 and later) · October 31, 2026

AI, off until you turn it on, and nothing reaches your note until you accept it.

• Fixed · Folder search showed a link as raw Markdown ([[Note]], [text](url)); it now shows the link's words.
• Fixed · Vim mode: :w now saves, and the current mode shows under the text.
• Fixed · The theme tiles in Settings could show without their colours for a moment.
• Fixed · Cached link indexes for folders you no longer open piled up in app data; they are now cleaned up at launch.
• Added · AI, off until you turn it on in Settings → AI. Use Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or DeepSeek with your own key, kept in the macOS Keychain, or Ollama on your Mac. While AI is off, nothing is sent.
• Added · Ghost text: grey text continues your sentence, and Tab takes it. It appears as you pause with Ollama, or when you press ⌥Tab with a cloud key.
• Added · ⌘J on a selection or a paragraph: rewrite, shorten, fix grammar, translate Arabic ⇄ English, make it formal or plain, or type your own instruction. Also in ⌘K, the Edit menu and the selection toolbar.
• Added · /ai on an empty line drafts from your instruction.
• Added · Settings → AI shows how many requests InkDo sent today and in the last 30 days, per provider. The count stays on your Mac.
• Added · A heading map scroll bar: Settings → Editor → Scroll bar.
• Added · Pin a note from the top right of the title bar.
• Change · Nothing from AI reaches your note until you accept it, and one ⌘Z undoes it. Only the paragraph you are in is sent.
• Change · When AI fails, one calm line says why and how to fix it: at the bottom left for ghost text, in the panel for ⌘J and /ai.
• Change · The scroll bar is a quiet rail that shows while you scroll.
• Change · Text fades under the title bar instead of being cut off.

InkDo 0.1.1

The first update through InkDo's updater. Nothing in the app changes: if this note reached you in the "Restart to update" card, updates work, and your notes and folder access come through them.

InkDo 0.1.0

The first test release of InkDo 2: a calm, keyboard-first Markdown editor for a folder of notes. Live preview, tables, math, diagrams and drawings, links and backlinks, folder search and history, focus and typewriter modes, three themes, export to PDF and web pages, and updates that install themselves.

For Apple silicon Macs (M1 and later). InkDo is signed with its own certificate, not Apple's, so macOS asks you to allow it once:

1. Download InkDo_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg below and open it.
2. Drag InkDo onto Applications, then eject the disk image.
3. Open InkDo from Applications. macOS says it can't verify the app: click Done (not Move to Trash).
4. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and next to "InkDo was blocked to protect your Mac" click Open Anyway, then confirm with your password or Touch ID.
5. Open InkDo again and click Open Anyway in the last prompt.

After that, updates install themselves: a "Restart to update" chip appears top right, and your note is saved before it restarts.
