Mutiny v1.0.2

• The MUTINY wordmark — every letter in the same graffiti hand as the app icon's M, in red with its teal ghost — now heads About Mutiny and the manual's cover (F1).
• The Mutiny Manifesto is in the repository (MANIFESTO.md, in English and Spanish), linked from the README: seven principles for writing with your name on it.
• The brand files — the icon from 16 to 1024 px, the wordmark in colour, light and dark, the favicon and a short usage guide — live in brand/.

Mutiny v1.0.1

From a full audit of the code after 1.0:

• The windows can't reach the internet at all any more: every web request from them is refused, and cookies are cleared at start. Everything Mutiny sends — to the assistant, for a source lookup, the daily update check — goes from the main process, on purpose.
• Chromium's own spellchecker is off for good, so the first run no longer downloads a dictionary from Google's servers (Mutiny has always used its own).
• Electron 43.7.7, with the fix for a sandboxed-preload advisory; a bundled URL parser updated. npm audit reports nothing.
• "Email Draft to Myself" names its PDF itself, and the error log trims itself past 1 MB.
• The manual gains What's kept, and where and What leaves your computer, including that what each AI provider keeps depends on its own policy.

Mutiny v1.0.0

Everything from the 0.9 betas — essays and other texts with their templates, sources and citations, Reorder and Versions, the optional assistant that follows your template, My voice, six themes and the Omarchy edition — now considered stable. New since 0.9.0-beta.4:

• A manual inside the app: Help → Manual (F1) opens the whole manual in its own window, laid out like Omarchy's — chapters on the left, one at a time, in your theme's colours, in English or Spanish, offline.
• A shorter, friendlier first run: six steps with a progress indicator and a Back button; theme and typeface together in "How it looks"; the Omarchy theme only offered where Omarchy is installed; the assistant step names every provider; it ends with "Start my first text".
• My voice stays one quiet line until you add a text.
• Template sections show their guiding question as a grey heading in the draft until you give them a title.
• Help (Ctrl+/) covers the right-click menu, + New, the push-pin and F1; the chat offers a button to turn the assistant on; Goals & settings names the template in full ("Essay · Toulmin").
• About links to worldmutiny.com.
• Fixed: the Notes page's placeholder was in English in the Spanish interface.
• Builds run on Node 24 GitHub Actions.

Mutiny v0.9.0-beta.4

• Types of text and templates: + New asks what you're writing — an essay (Peterson, Dialectic, Toulmin, They say / I say, Pyramid SCQA, Exploratory, Five paragraphs), free writing (Free, Morning pages), a blog post (Opinion, How-to, List), a newsletter (Personal letter, Digest), a script (Long video, Short, Podcast) or a speech (Talk, Toast). Each form brings its own outline of guiding questions, and a text's form can be changed later in Goals & settings. Existing essays are Essay · Peterson.
• Shelves by type: + New files a text on the shelf for its type, making it the first time; the + on a shelf keeps it there. New shelves go in above My voice. The first run asks what you write and makes those shelves.
• The bottom bar shows reading time for blog posts and newsletters, and time out loud — against a target length — for scripts and speeches.
• Details per type in Goals & settings → This text: meta description and slug, email subject and preheader, target length.
• Exports: Markdown for a website (with front matter for Astro, Hugo, Jekyll…), Copy with formatting to paste into WordPress, Ghost, Medium or Substack, and a large-type PDF to read scripts and speeches aloud from.
• The assistant follows the template: each type and form gets its own critique (Toulmin's claim, grounds and warrant; a blog's hook and call to action; a script's hook, pacing and how it sounds out loud…); in Exploratory and Free writing it asks questions instead of correcting; Versions and the Chat know what kind of text it is.
• The interface says "text" instead of "essay" wherever it means any kind of text.

Mutiny v0.9.0-beta.3

• Themes: six looks — Mutiny, BlackGold, Black Arch, Matrix, Tokyo Night and City 783 (from Omarchy palettes, with Mutiny's typefaces) — plus "follow Omarchy" on Linux. Pick one when you first open Mutiny, in Goals & settings, or in View → Theme. Paper stays white.
• Brighter interface is now on by default, with a check mark in the View menu.
• The Assistant menu shows its shortcuts like every other menu.
• The pull tabs on the edges are bigger and wear the theme's accent; pinning the right pane is a push-pin that shows whether it's pinned.
• Notes sent to the Notes page are kept one blank line apart.
• Right-click menu in the Draft: cut, copy and paste, add a mark, cite a source, send to Later, and the assistant's actions — each with its shortcut — plus spelling suggestions. Add a mark and Cite a source are also in the Edit menu.
• A new mark opens its note in the right pane, ready to write in.
• Restoring from Later no longer drops a passage into the *** line when it had been cut from the start of a paragraph.

Mutiny v0.9.0-beta.2

• New look: Mutiny's own look uses the Aetheria palette — deep violet background, teal text, red accent — and the Night page follows it (Paper stays white). The themed menu bar is now used in both looks on Linux and Windows.
• New icon: a pixel-art M, on every platform.
• Roomier settings: Goals & settings and Assistant settings are laid out in sections.
• Notes pane: filters always visible, notes show which section they belong to, long critiques fold, your own notes grow as you type, resolved notes are kept (reopen or delete them; Ctrl+Z brings the mark back), and clicking a ✦ or ⚑ points out its note.
• Panes: both side panes push the page instead of covering it; pull tabs on the edges show they are there (the right one counts open notes); Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] toggle them.
• Assistant: Versions highlight the words the assistant changed; Research explains when the provider has no web access; research answers can be cited or saved to Sources; chat answers can be inserted where you were writing.
• Smaller fixes across the bottom bar, help and keyboard focus.

Mutiny v0.9.0-beta.1

Mutiny, an essay writer built on NEO by Hugh Howey.

• Essays, not novels: one continuous page with sections, an outline built on the Peterson method, "Later" for cut passages, Spanish and English interface and spellcheck.
• Sources and citations: paste a URL, DOI or ISBN; cite with Ctrl+Shift+K; numbered citations and a Sources list in every export.
• Reorder paragraphs and sentences, with a skeleton view of your argument (Ctrl+Shift+O).
• Versions of a passage side by side (Ctrl+Shift+M), yours and the assistant's.
• Optional assistant on Claude Code, Codex, the Anthropic API or any OpenAI-compatible server: research marked facts, critique the argument, chat about the essay — with visible progress and a Stop button.
• My voice: the assistant studies your own texts and writes your style profile (estilo.md), which Versions and the Chat follow.
• Omarchy edition: on Omarchy the interface follows your desktop theme live.
• Builds for Linux, Windows and macOS (unsigned), and a once-a-day check for new versions.
