v0.9.3

@github-actions github-actions released this 03 Sep 13:17
  • Opening an email used to sit on a short preview for a long time before the message itself appeared. Brain was discarding each message right after downloading it, so every open started over. A message you have opened stays, and opens at once the next time.
  • That preview showed raw codes like ' where an apostrophe belonged. It now reads the way the message list has always read.
  • When a message went missing from Brain's own store, the reader waited for it in silence for half a minute. It asks again instead.

v0.9.2

  • The selected page in the sidebar was clipped and drawn white on white, so you could not see where you were. It sits on paper now, with its full shape.
  • The page header announced "Saved" after every keystroke. Keeping your text is the job, not news — the header stays quiet while it saves and speaks only when a save fails.
  • On some installs Brain could not read its own version, so the version row in Settings sat empty. Fixed.

v0.9.1

  • Settings now shows where your notes live on disk and which version of Brain you are running. The folder your pages are written to was the one thing the product never said out loud.
  • Brain checks once a day whether a newer release exists and tells you when there is one. It sends nothing but a version number. Set BRAIN_UPDATE_CHECK=off to switch it off.
  • A tab you left open while the server updated used to break quietly. It reloads itself once and carries on.
  • Brain refuses to start on a notes folder it cannot write to, and says which folder and why, instead of failing later on your first save.
  • Mail says when its service is not running, rather than looking like an account that failed to load. A Brain with nothing in it yet explains what the sidebar is for.
  • On a phone, the page header no longer sits on the text like a solid plate.

The first public release.

  • Brain runs on your own machine or your own server. Nothing leaves it unless you connect something yourself.
  • Every page is a Markdown file in a folder you choose. You can read your notes with any editor, back them up with any tool, and keep them if you ever stop using Brain.
  • Write with a normal editor — headings, lists, tables, code, images, drag a page anywhere in the tree.
  • Search runs over everything you have written, on your own hardware.
  • Connect a mailbox and read it inside Brain, next to your notes.
  • Point an AI agent at Brain over MCP and let it read and write your pages.
