Write 1.2.1

• Tab indents the whole line you're on (or every line in a selection) — - then Tab makes a nested item, wherever the caret sits. Inside a code fence it's a plain tab.
• Shift-Tab outdents one level: a tab, or up to four spaces.
• Tabs render four columns wide instead of at AppKit's odd 28-point stops.

Write 1.2.0

Write is now a modal editor. Documents open in normal mode; i starts writing, Esc goes back.

• Motions: h j k l, w b e (and W B E), 0 ^ $, gg G, { }, f t F T with ; , — all with counts (3w, 5G)
• Operators: d c y with any motion, dd cc yy, x X, p P, u ^R, . repeat
• Insert entry: i a I A o O — o continues a list like Return does
• Visual and visual-line modes: v V, then motions, then d c y x p
• j/k move by display line, since in prose a line is a paragraph
• Footer shows the mode and any pending keys; the caret is a block outside insert mode
• Command-key shortcuts (⌘S, ⌘K, ⌘F, …) work in every mode

Not yet: text objects (iw, ip), / search, named registers, marks, : commands.

Write 1.1.2

• Leaving a heading line with Return no longer leaves a phantom gap where the # was, or an undrawn next line, until you click
• Bold / italic / code / link markers now reveal beside the caret on every line, not just the first
• Fixes a crash when a selection outlived an edit that shortened the text

Write 1.1.1

Fixes typing stopping dead after # on any line but the first — an out-of-range highlight was throwing on every keystroke.

Write 1.1

The writing surface now behaves like Obsidian's live preview.

• Markdown markers (**, *, `, […](…), #) stay hidden except around the span the caret is in or touching, where they reappear dimmed so you can edit the source
• Inline code hides its backticks like the other spans
• Headings scale from H1 down to H6; emphasis inside a heading keeps the heading's size
• Debug builds work again on macOS's stock bash

Write 1.0

A dead-simple Markdown writing app for macOS. One window, one column of text, and nothing else in the way.

• ⌘K quick switcher for recent documents
• ⌘L inserts a Markdown link
• Caret sized to the text, not the line
• Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel); builds on current Xcode (Swift 6.3 / macOS 26 SDK)
• Signed and notarized
