Markdown Reader & Editor 3.2.2

Point release fixing a startup error.

Fixed

• Startup error "Could not open file /help:guide" when the previous session had a Help document open. Help documents are no longer written into the saved session, and a stale help: entry now reopens the help doc instead of raising an error.

Includes everything from 3.2.0 (Local API, web draft recovery, Save button) and 3.2.1 (Preferences panel scroll + two-column layout).

Unsigned build — first launch: on macOS right-click the app ▸ Open (or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Markdown Reader.app"); on Windows More info ▸ Run anyway.

Markdown Reader & Editor 3.2.1

Point release fixing the Preferences panel.

Fixed

• The Preferences panel could not be scrolled, so on shorter windows the lower rows — including the new Local API controls added in 3.2.0 — were pushed off-screen with no way to reach them. The panel now scrolls, with a sticky header.
• The Preferences panel now uses a two-column layout on normal-width windows so all settings fit without scrolling; it collapses to one column when the window is narrow.

3.2.0 (Local API, web draft recovery, Save button) is included — see the 3.2.0 notes.

Markdown Reader & Editor 3.2.0

Added

• Local API (desktop). An opt-in HTTP API on 127.0.0.1 for automation — add/remove server connections, list/read/write notes, search, backlinks, tags, and render Markdown. Off by default; enable it in Preferences ▸ Local API, which shows the URL and a bearer token. Built for the companion md-reader-mcp Model Context Protocol bridge, and usable from scripts or n8n. Full reference: Help ▸ Automation & MCP / https://markdown-reader-editor.netlify.app/automation.html
• Draft recovery on the web. Unsaved work is mirrored to the browser's local storage as you type. If a tab closes before you download the file, a banner on the next visit offers to Restore it.
• A Save button in the toolbar, labelled "Download" on browsers that can't save in place, accent-coloured while there are unsaved changes.

Markdown Reader & Editor 3.1.0

Note: Installer downloads for this older release have been removed to save storage. Get the current version at the latest release.

Markdown Reader & Editor 3.1.0 — macOS, Windows, Linux

New

• Visual table editor. With the cursor inside a Markdown table, a small
  toolbar floats over the editor: add / delete row, add / delete column, cycle
  the column's alignment, and reformat. Insert Table plus every action are in
  the command palette.
• Vim keybindings for the editor — a Preferences toggle (desktop and web)
  and a Toggle Vim keybindings command. Off by default; the choice persists.
• Tags. #tag in the body renders as a clickable chip (nested #a/b
  allowed; code, links and #123 issue refs are left alone). Front-matter
  tags: render as chips too. Clicking a chip searches the folder. A new
  Tags sidebar tab lists every tag with counts.
• Export as Word (.docx) — desktop, next to Export as HTML.
