FRONT MATTER IN TOML Notes that open with a +++ block - the form Hugo and Zola write - are now read like any other. The block stays out of the note, its fields are editable in Properties, and an edit writes TOML back rather than converting your file to YAML. Try the GLOW Terminal Demo ! Type demo in the terminal GLOW COMPLETES NOTE NAMES On the vault terminal, TAB now finishes an @note reference as well as a path, including names with spaces. Attaching a note to an AI turn no longer means typing it exactly. Plus fixes and polish throughout.

CONNECT AN AI SERVICE WITHOUT LOOKING UP ITS ADDRESS Add Connection starts with the services people actually use - OpenAI, Claude, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral and GLM. Tap one and its API address and a starting model are filled in; the key button opens that service's key page, so getting a key is one tap instead of a search.

Plus fixes and polish throughout.

OPEN A FOLDER OF CODE AS A VAULT - source, config and Markdown render and edit in place; app bundles, build output and dependency folders stay out of the way. Is AI creating a project for you outside of cyberWriter? Open the project folder as a vault and watch all the code and project files stream in for easy review SET UP A VAULT IN ONE PASS - name it, start from PARA / Zettelkasten / a work layout, folders created together. VAULTS THAT LIVE IN A CLOUD DRIVE - iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox; notes not yet downloaded are fetched when opened. FOLDERS, WHEREVER YOU NEED THEM - toolbar, right-click, or palette; empty folders stay visible. THE TERMINAL HAS A BUTTON - Terminal button right in the status bar, lit while running. FILE NAMES THAT TELL YOU APART - .md hidden, other types shown, with a setting to show them all. SEARCH THAT FINDS THINGS - multi-word search, larger sidebar text, files coloured by type.

Everything from 3.9 and 3.95 in one update. TYPE [[ AND PICK A NOTE Start a wikilink and cyberWriter offers the notes to finish it, in the Markdown editor and in the rich-text view alike. Recent notes first, then filtering as you type across titles, aliases, and folder paths. Type [[# to search by tag. Arrow keys to move, Return to insert. IMAGE CAPTIONS AND FIGURES An image on its own line becomes a figure, with its alt text as the caption. Optional numbering prefixes "Figure 1." and renumbers as you reorder, or pin a number by writing it yourself. Vault embeds can be captioned and sized. Figures never split across a page in a PDF. BRING YOUR OWN CSS One stylesheet applied to every preview and every export: heading colours per level, line length, margins, paragraph spacing. It is a real file you can edit in any editor, keep in version control, or sync between Macs. GLOW TERMINAL A command line for your vault. Familiar commands (ls, cd, cat, grep, find) alongside vault-native ones (links, backlinks, tags, recent, stats), with your AI model on the prompt line: pipe a search into it, send the answer straight into a note, and let it read and edit files with undo behind it. New in this update: a guided demo that runs on your own notes, session transcripts saved as a note, and a greeting that knows your vault. PLATO APPEARANCE A warm phosphor finish across the whole app, a rose app icon, and a knowledge graph in the same shape. FASTER, AND MORE FINISHED Reliable tooltips on every control. Faster saves on large vaults. Opening the file browser no longer waits for the knowledge graph to draw. Images written as  now resolve anywhere in your vault. LaTeX written with \(...\) and \[...\] typesets in the editor. The AI Workspace opens with somewhere to start instead of a page of instructions.

The biggest cyberWriter release yet. WYSIWYG EDITING — The rich-text view (Cmd-4) graduates from beta to a full editing surface. Write in formatted text with live tables, charts, math, and diagrams. AI streaming, dictation, find & replace, and the insert menu all work natively — and your Markdown stays clean. LIVE DATA BLOCKS — Drop an api block into any note, click Run, and the response renders as a formatted table that exports everywhere. Query blocks turn your vault's frontmatter into live tables. API keys stay in the macOS Keychain, never in your files. VEGA & VEGA-LITE CHARTS — Publication-grade charts from a fenced block, themed to your appearance and exported to PDF, Word, and HTML. Bind chart data to files in your vault and the chart follows the file. EXCALIDRAW DRAWINGS — A full whiteboard canvas, offline and private. Sketches are first-class documents you can embed in notes and export anywhere. The new Vault Map draws your vault's link graph as a clickable atlas. PROPERTIES & QUERIES — A typed Properties panel edits frontmatter tags, dates, and fields inline. No YAML wrangling. BUILD A WIKI — Unlinked Mentions finds every place a note's title appears without a link and connects it in one click. The Vault Health Report rounds up broken links, orphans, and duplicate titles. TABLES, PASTE & FOLDING — Paste from Excel, the web, Word, or Mail as clean Markdown. Tab through table cells, add/delete rows and columns, convert text to tables. A floating selection toolbar puts formatting at your cursor, and any block folds away with Cmd-period. FASTER WITH HUGE VAULTS — Multi-thousand-file vaults scroll, search, and index smoothly, with background indexing that stays out of your way. Plus: the searchable Feature Guide is now Help (Cmd-?), KaTeX equation colors, native Version History, the new Apropos theme, theme-aware Mermaid backgrounds, and dozens of editor-hardening fixes.

Light Mode, refined - A full appearance system: System Light, System Dark, the original Cyber, and the new pure-black Blackout. Every accent, border, and panel tuned to be crisp in each. Knowledge Graph, reimagined - Your vault as a living globe and other 3D projections. Tag clustering, tag-colored nodes, search that lights up matching notes, selectable layouts, a guided tour mode, and Vault Stats at a glance. Snippets - A built-in snippet manager: capture from any document, organize in folders, pin favorites, and drop snippets anywhere with the new shade (⌘⌥S). Voice, upgraded - Pick your input device, watch a live waveform, and see words stream into the editor as you speak — dictation and AI insertions now anchor cleanly without disturbing your cursor. Faster everywhere - Large documents open and render dramatically faster. Theme switching is instant. Tab switching is smoother. The graph pauses when the app is in the background, so cyberWriter sips power instead of gulping it. Plus - Native undo with correct caret behavior, smooth sidebar animations, polished first-launch experience, and dozens of fixes from our wonderful, bug-hunting users.

What's New in cyberWriter 3.0 A focused update with three banner items, a stack of polish, and the App Appearance work for users who've been waiting on a light mode. APP APPEARANCE (3.0) Three-way picker in the toolbar (left of the theme menu) and in Settings → Themes: Cyber, System Light, or System Dark. Cyber is the original Synthetic Editorial dark identity - bit-for-bit unchanged, nothing shifts if you've been here all along. System Light and System Dark hand window chrome to macOS so cyberWriter blends with the rest of your apps; your editor and preview themes stay independent. The new System preview theme follows your appearance automatically - Synthetic Editorial in dark, Modern in light. VAULT STATS DASHBOARD (3.0) One-click vault overview from the Files-tab toolbar - file & word counts, top tags, most-linked files, orphans, recently modified, folder and file-type breakdowns. The snapshot is written to Vault Stats.md at the vault root with wikilinks throughout, so it doubles as a Map of Content. Click again to regenerate. AI CHAT RELIABILITY (3.0) Assistant responses render their Markdown HTML reliably now - no more occasional raw-tag passthrough.
