Settings, in the app

A new settings screen opens from the toolbar button or Ctrl/Cmd+, — one control for every option, applied and saved as you change it. The commented settings.toml next to the executable still works exactly as before and is picked up live.

English and Deutsch

The interface is now available in English and German and follows the OS language by default. Switch it in the settings screen or with language = "system" | "en" | "de" in settings.toml.

Editing

  • Block shortcuts — Ctrl/Cmd+0–7 turn the selection into Text, Heading 1–3, bullet list, numbered list, quote, or code block. The shortcuts are also shown in the ⠿ block menu.
  • Emoji — type :tada: for 🎉, or press Ctrl/Cmd+. for a searchable picker. Native Unicode only, no downloads.
  • always_show_tabbar setting keeps the tab strip visible with a single file open.
  • Fixes: turning a heading directly into a list now works; the find/replace bar survives a language switch.

Downloads

This release adds macOS and Linux builds alongside Windows:

Platform File
Windows (portable) Mowl.exe
Windows x64 / ARM64 Mowl_1.5.0_x64-setup.exe, Mowl_1.5.0_arm64-setup.exe (also .msi)
macOS (universal) Mowl_1.5.0_universal.dmg
Linux x64 / ARM64 .AppImage, .deb, .rpm

SHA256SUMS.txt covers every file. Copy settings.example.toml next to the executable as settings.toml to start from a documented config.

The application identifier changed to com.alinaderi.mowl — on Windows, existing 0.1.x/1.2.x installs won't be upgraded in place; install this one alongside or uninstall the old one first. Portable users are unaffected.

Binaries are unsigned — macOS and Windows SmartScreen will warn on first launch.
