Blok 0.7.14

New

• Hide empty sections (Settings ▸ General): sections with no notes to show leave the list,
  all but the one new notes go to. ⌘K, the input's section menu and a note's Move To still list
  them, and a section comes back with its first note. It's off unless you turn it on.

Changed

• Dragging a note to the top or bottom of the list scrolls it, faster the nearer the edge,
  and on past it over the search field or the input. Let go there and the note lands where the
  list shows it. Before, the list only scrolled with the pointer right at its edge.
• A selected long note opens sooner, after a quarter of a second.

Fixed

• A selected long note now shows from its first line, just under its section's header. Its
  first lines were hidden under the header.
• ↓ from a long note folds it back in place, with the next note right below. The list jumped
  a moment later, or was left empty if you had read to the end of the note.
• Esc with a section's header selected takes you to the input, as it does with a note
  selected. It hid the panel.
• Allowing Accessibility no longer piles up dialogs: Open System Settings… first shows
  macOS's own request on its own, and opens System Settings the next time. Before, System
  Settings came up over the request, and each time Blok opened again added another one.

Blok 0.7.13

Changed

• Blok is notarized: it's signed with a Developer ID and checked by Apple, so a download opens
  like any app from the internet, without Open Anyway in System Settings.
• Once, after this update, macOS asks for your login password before Blok reads its licence
  from the Keychain (and your notes' key, if they're encrypted), because Blok's signature
  changed: enter it and choose Always Allow. Choosing Deny pauses nothing; Blok asks again
  the next time it opens.
• Once, after this update, give Blok Accessibility again for capturing with ⇧⇧: in System
  Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Accessibility (Device Control and Data Access on macOS 27),
  select Blok and remove it with − (switching it off and on may not be enough). Then quit
  Blok, open it again, click Open System Settings… in its banner, and switch it on.
• Updates are checked more closely: Blok only installs one that Apple has notarized, as well
  as signed by Blok's developer.

Blok 0.7.12

Changed

• The input grows as you write: a long note or prompt moves the input's top edge up over the
  note list, until it has two thirds of the space they share, instead of scrolling after two
  lines. Saving the note brings it back to its usual height. The compact layout grows too, with
  the + and the section staying beside the first line.

Blok 0.7.11

Changed

• A new app icon: obsidian, with your sections stacked behind the note in violet, and the b's
  stem standing apart from its bowl. Silver with a dark card in light mode, obsidian with a light
  card in dark; the clear and tinted versions follow System Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Icon & widget
  style, as before.
• The menu bar mark matches it: solid now, the note card with its b, and the stacked cards
  behind it.

Blok 0.7.10

New

• A new app icon for macOS 26: the same graphite Stack b, now in glass, with dark, clear and
  tinted versions that follow System Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Icon & widget style.

Changed

• Alerts read like the system's, and when something goes wrong they say what happened in
  plain words, or what to do next, instead of showing a technical error.
• A note's context menu no longer shows keyboard shortcuts, as in Finder. They work as
  before, and Settings ▸ Shortcuts lists them all.

Fixed

• Folding a section while searching sent the list back to the section's header, and you lost
  your place among the matches. The list stays where it is now.
• The panel could still go empty after a fold in two cases (on macOS 27): a section that opened
  as you dragged notes over it and closed as you dragged them away, and a section folded on
  another Mac while you were scrolled into it.
• With keyboard navigation on (System Settings ▸ Keyboard), Tab stopped twice at every control
  in Settings. It stops once now.
• The arrow keys change Settings' pop-up menus (Captures go to, Text size and the others).
  Only Space did before. The Return menu can be reached with Tab too.

Blok 0.7.9

Changed

• Confirmations at the notch are gone, and with them Settings ▸ Advanced ▸ Experimental: Blok
  has no experimental features now. A capture made while the panel is hidden is confirmed by the
  glass toast at the top of the screen, as it was with the setting off. An "experimental" key
  left in your settings file is ignored.

Fixed

• Folding a section while scrolled down into it could leave the panel empty, with no
  sections or notes, until Blok was restarted (on macOS 27). Your notes were all still there. Its
  header now goes to the top of the list, with the sections after it below.

Blok 0.7.8

Fixed

• Switching between light and dark (in System Settings, or with Auto at sunset) left the
  panel a washed-out grey until Blok was restarted. It follows the switch now. Its glass is no
  longer tinted for this: how see-through it is follows System Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Liquid
  Glass.
• Pasting screenshots into a note you're editing adds them to that note, as dropping them on
  it does. ⌘V did nothing there before.
• "Nothing here yet" in an empty section no longer shows through the section's header when
  you scroll.

Blok 0.7.7

Changed

• Opening Blok puts you in the input with nothing else selected, instead of leaving the last
  selected note lit up too. ↑ goes back to what you had selected when you hid Blok, so you can
  carry on down the list.

Fixed

• "Nothing selected" came out of the notch even with notch confirmations turned off (Settings ▸
  Advanced ▸ Experimental). Every message now follows the setting.

Blok 0.7.6

New

• Free through your school or work? Settings ▸ General ▸ Licence has a link to check whether a
  school, university or nonprofit you're at gives you Blok for free. If it does, the key comes by
  email, with a link that opens Blok to use it.

Blok 0.7.5

Changed

• ⌘/ opens Settings ▸ Shortcuts, where every shortcut is in a table to search and change, with
  the editor's keys (↩, /, ⌘B…) under While typing. The cheat sheet in the panel didn't fit.
• Section headers sit closer together again, as before the chevron's bigger click target.

Fixed

• Free licences from rosok.dev work. Blok turned down keys from the website as "not a Blok
  licence key".
• Hiding Blok while editing a note threw the edit away; it's saved now, as clicking elsewhere
  does. Esc still drops it.
• A private note stays short while it's blurred, instead of growing to its full length when
  selected and showing how long it is.
• A section's header no longer stays lit up after notes are dropped into it.
