v0.6 - Folder-based Markdown storage

The desktop app now stores each day as a real Markdown file in a folder you choose, readable in Obsidian or any editor. On first launch it asks you to pick a vault folder; from then on every entry is a YYYY-MM-DD.md file with frontmatter, and settings live alongside them. Your data is plain text you fully own.

The web version is unchanged and keeps IndexedDB. The same code picks its storage backend at runtime.

Download Compendium_0.6.0_aarch64.dmg below (Apple Silicon). Unsigned, so on first launch right-click the app and choose Open.

v0.5 - Desktop app

Compendium now runs as a native macOS desktop app, built from the same code as the web version using a Tauri wrapper. It uses the system webview, so the installer is under 3 MB.

Download Compendium_0.5.0_aarch64.dmg below (Apple Silicon). The build is unsigned, so on first launch right-click the app and choose Open to get past Gatekeeper.

This line of work also added: the theme drill-in and weighted-magnitude theme bars, a next-entry countdown, a hard-lock 'Done for today' seal, Markdown export/import (Obsidian-compatible backup), a bundled reading font, and a consistent page width.

v0.4 - Phase 4: local pattern detection

Recurring themes surfaced from your own words, with no AI. Click a theme to light up every day it appears across the heatmap. Also in this line of work: a bundled reading font, Markdown export/import (Obsidian-compatible backup), a consistent page width, and various UX polish.

v0.3 - Phase 3: the thread drilldown

Completes the four-level descent. Clicking a day opens its month as a string of beads, with a preview on hover and the full entry on click.

v0.2 - Phase 2: the heatmap home

The archive: a year-by-year heatmap with the age you were down the left, cell intensity by entry length, and a read-only view of any past day.

v0.1 - Phase 1: the writing ritual

First working version. Local-first daily reflection: onboarding with typed date-of-birth fields, the today-only writing ritual with autosave, IndexedDB storage, a network-first service worker for offline use, and the nocturne interface.
