Highlights

  • The Reader — sources and notes open in the center column, never a modal: Chat ⇄ Reader tabs, browser-style back/forward (⌘[ / ⌘]), j/k through the notebook, ⌘F find on the rendered view, per-document scroll memory, and a floating table of contents that hugs the text column.
  • Citations land on the passage — clicking a citation opens the source scrolled to the cited text with it highlighted in place (CSS Custom Highlights), not the top of the page.
  • Seamless notes — prose notes are the editor: edit in place with idle autosave (no Save/Cancel), GFM tables that round-trip losslessly with row/column controls, clickable links, and related passages floating alongside as you write — click to jump, or insert a reference at the cursor.
  • A document graph — web pages extract to real markdown (headings, lists, tables, links survive), links between sources jump wiki-style with hover preview cards, and every document shows what links to it.
  • Live web view — URL sources get a Cached ⇄ Live toggle that embeds the actual page in the reader, read-it-later style; pages that refuse extraction open straight into Live.
  • Real artifacts — flashcards are a spaced-repetition deck (1/3/7/21-day boxes), quizzes grade themselves with explanations, slide decks render as themed 16:9 slides with a fullscreen Present mode and one-click PDF export, and mind maps pan and zoom like an infinite canvas.
  • Capture from anywhere — the menu bar extra adds your clipboard (files, images, URLs, or text), a URL, or pasted text into any notebook; ⌘⇧U / ⌘⇧V in the app. Word documents extract with their structure, and image sources show the original image, not just its OCR text.
  • Agents can connect Mac items — MCP add_source accepts cider:// origins (a Reminders list, Apple Note, Calendar window, or Stocks watchlist) directly.

Fixes

  • Enter submits the add-URL field instead of bouncing back to the tiles
  • Sites that serve full articles with error statuses (broken SSR) now extract
  • Citation anchors fire even when the window is occluded (rAF pause)
  • Opening a note never autosaves or reorders the notes list
  • List bullets restored everywhere markdown renders
  • Reports are read-only records; deliberate edits behind the pencil
  • Source rows above dropdown menus, sync from the reader toolbar, right-click row menus
