- Sort the sidebar by name, date modified or date created (View ▸ Sort Sidebar By, or Sort By in the sidebar's context menu). With a date, the newest notes come first and a note you save moves to the top of its folder; folders stay on top, sorted by name, and your choice is remembered. - Focus mode (View ▸ Focus Mode, ⇧⌘J, or Settings ▸ Editor): fades every paragraph except the one you're writing, so your eyes stay on the sentence at hand. It follows the cursor, works with typewriter scrolling and every theme, light and dark, and stays as fast in very large notes. Each list item counts as its own paragraph. - Today's Note (File ▸ Today's Note, ⌘D) opens today's daily note, Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md in the open folder, and creates it with the date as its heading the first time each day. Choose the folder in Settings ▸ General. - Faster with large folders: with 10,000 notes, Backlinks show up in about 10 ms instead of half a second each time you switch notes, and Tags and Backlinks are complete about 1.2–1.6 s after launch instead of about 3 s. The app remembers what it read from your notes (in its own cache, never in your notes folder) and reads again only the notes that changed. - Uses less memory with a large folder open: about 140 MB instead of 180 MB with 10,000 notes. - Saving a note in a large folder no longer slows things down to refresh the sidebar's Tags: with 10,000 notes it's skipped when the save changes no tag, and takes about 60 ms instead of half a second when it does. - Fixed: the File menu shows Open Recent once again, instead of twice.

- Fixed: clicking a wiki link in the preview now opens the note wherever it is in the open folder, at its heading, like ⌘-click in the editor. A link that can't be followed shows a short message saying why instead of only a beep, and hovering a wiki link in the editor shows "⌘-click to open". Wiki links also find notes whose names are spelled with accents encoded differently, as in files synced from other systems. - Open Quickly (⌘P) with a folder open lists the notes you read last before you type, newest first, so ⌘P then Return goes back to the previous note. - Plain web addresses (https://…) are now clickable links in the preview, and ⌘-click on one in the editor opens the right page even on a line ending with `\` or two spaces.

- Links to headings: `[[Note#Heading]]` or `[text](other.md#heading)` opens the other note right at that heading, and `[[#Heading]]` jumps to a heading in the same note. Type `#` after `[[Note` (or `[[#`) to pick from the note's headings, or right-click a heading in the outline ▸ Copy Link to Heading. - In an open folder, wiki links to notes that don't exist yet are dimmed in the editor; click one to create the note and open it. - Inspector ▸ Unlinked Mentions (under Backlinks, collapsed by default) lists notes that mention the current note's name without linking to it; click one to open it at the mention. - Tables: insert a table, add or delete rows and columns, align a column, and line up the columns with Format Table — from Format ▸ Table or the new table controls on the Markdown toolbar. Tab and Return move through a table and add rows. Cells copied from a spreadsheet paste as a table. - Rich text pastes as Markdown: from a web page it keeps headings, bold and italic, links, lists, quotes, code and simple tables; from Pages, TextEdit, Mail or Notes, headings, bold and italic, links and lists. Paste and Match Style (⌥⇧⌘V) still pastes plain text. - Edit ▸ Copy as Rich Text: paste the selection, or the whole note, into Mail, Pages or Notes with headings, bold and italic, links, lists and images kept. - Export as Plain Text and Rich Text from the File menu: plain text keeps your words and code without Markdown symbols; rich text keeps headings, bold and italic, links, lists and tables for TextEdit, Pages or Word. Notes with local images export as an RTFD document with their pictures. - Drop a file or folder from the sidebar or Finder into a note to insert a Markdown link to it, with a path relative to the note. Images still drop as before. - Code blocks: type ``` and the first letter of a language to pick from the languages the preview can colour, short names like `js`, `ts`, `sh`, `yml` and `py` included. - Edit ▸ Move Line Up / Move Line Down (⌥⌘↑ / ⌥⌘↓) and Duplicate Line (⇧⌘D) work on the current line or the selected lines. - Format ▸ Toggle Task (⌘↩) checks or unchecks the to-dos on the current or selected lines, right in the editor. - Format ▸ Footnote adds a numbered footnote at the cursor and its line at the end of the note, ready to write. - Renaming or moving an image in the sidebar offers to update the notes that show it. - Moving or renaming a folder in the sidebar also offers to update the links to the notes inside it, and a note moved to another folder keeps its own relative links and images working. Dragging several notes at once asks only once. - Very large notes open and show their preview faster: the full preview is rendered on several cores (about twice as fast at 1–5 MB), the part you are reading loads first, and a large note reopened at launch shows its preview sooner. - The preview of very large notes keeps up while you type and scroll — including in code blocks, footnotes, Mermaid diagrams and notes with link definitions — without redrawing the whole page on every key. Adding, removing or relabeling footnotes updates it right away. - Fixed: Front matter in files with Windows line endings (CRLF) now shows as a table in the preview instead of a horizontal line, and no longer appears in the outline. - Fixed: updating links in a note removed its Finder tags.

- Backlinks: the Outline inspector (⌥⌘O) lists the notes in your open folder that link to the current note. Click one to open it. - Rename or move a note, an image or a folder in the sidebar, and MarkdownMate offers to update the [[wiki links]], .md and image links to it in your other notes (⌘Z undoes it in open notes). Moved notes keep their own relative links working, and edited notes keep their Finder tags. - The editor styles Markdown as you write: bigger headings, real bold, italic and code, dimmed (never hidden) symbols. Turn it off in Settings ▸ Editor. - Themes: Default, Paper, Graphite or Solarized in Settings ▸ Appearance color the editor and preview, in Light and Dark. - Tags: type #tag or a nested #work/project. Tags are colored, and the new Tags section in the sidebar lists them with their notes. Type # to pick an existing tag; ⌘-click a tag to jump to it in the sidebar. - Wiki links: [[Note name]] and [[Note name|text]] link to another note in the open folder. Type [[ to pick a note; ⌘-click in the editor or click in the preview to open it. - View ▸ Typewriter Scrolling keeps the line you are writing in the middle. - Click a to-do checkbox in the preview to check it in your note. Code blocks in the preview have a Copy button. - Select text and type * _ ` ~ [ ( or " to wrap it; paste a URL over a selection to make a link. - Edit ▸ Copy as HTML (⌥⇧⌘C), and File ▸ Print… (⌥⌘P) prints a note as it looks in the preview, or saves it as a PDF. - Open Quickly (⌘P) creates a note when no file matches the name you type. - File ▸ Share…, a Services item to make a note from selected text, Shortcuts actions (Create, Append to and Open Note) and markdownmate:// links for Raycast, Alfred and scripts. - The status bar shows reading time next to the word count. - Better VoiceOver and keyboard support for checkboxes, Copy buttons, tags and themes. - Faster everywhere: large folders open in the background without stalling, the sidebar updates only the folders that changed, Export to PDF of long notes is much faster, the preview of very large notes keeps up as you type and appears sooner when you reopen them. - In an iCloud Drive folder with Optimize Mac Storage, Tags and Find in Folder no longer download every note. - Fixed: a note with math but no code or diagrams exported as a blank PDF. - Fixed: clicking a #heading link in an unsaved note's preview showed an error. - Fixed: opening a note sometimes scrolled the editor down instead of starting at the top. - Fixed: the status bar said "1 words". - Fixed: a file just created or renamed could briefly disappear from the sidebar.

- The preview keeps up while you type in large documents: only the part you edit is rendered again, about 15 ms per keystroke in a 5 MB document instead of 1.5 s. This also works in headings, code blocks, math, raw HTML, reference links (`[text][label]`, README badges) and footnotes. - Find in Folder (⇧⌘F) is about 16 times faster: a search across 3,000 notes takes about 0.04 s instead of 0.6 s. - Large documents open faster: the full preview of a 5 MB document is ready in about 1 s instead of 1.5 s, and opening one in Side by side or Preview with the outline hidden takes about 3 s instead of 24 s, using far less memory. - Bookmark folders you use often: click the folder name at the top of the sidebar to bookmark it or switch to another bookmarked folder. They are also in File ▸ Bookmarked Folders (⌃1…⌃9 for the first nine) and in Open Quickly (⌘P), and the sidebar lists them when no folder is open. - File ▸ Open… opens a Markdown file or a folder to browse in the sidebar, and Open Recent lists folders too. You can also open a folder from Finder (right-click ▸ Open With ▸ MarkdownMate) or drop it on the Dock icon. - Click a line number to select the whole line; drag over the numbers or shift-click to select several lines. Line numbers now sit right next to the text when Text width centers it. - The editor has roomier margins that match the preview, so text lines up in Side by side. - You can hide the Sidebar button in the toolbar (Settings ▸ General ▸ Toolbar Buttons); ⌃⌘S still shows and hides the sidebar. - Fixed: Side by side sometimes gave the editor and the preview uneven widths; they are now split in half each time, and keep their share when you resize the window or drag the divider. - Fixed: after Undo or Redo (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z), the preview, outline, word count, syntax highlighting and line numbers now update right away instead of at the next keystroke. - Fixed: Find in Folder now finds text you just edited, and shows the right line numbers in files with Windows (CRLF) line endings. - Fixed: the link anchor of a heading with math no longer changes when math is added or removed earlier in the document.

- Turn off line wrapping: View ▸ Wrap Lines (or Settings ▸ Editor ▸ Wrap lines) keeps long lines, tables and code as they are and scrolls sideways instead. - Line numbers in the editor: View ▸ Show Line Numbers (or Settings ▸ Editor ▸ Line numbers) shows each line's number in a margin, matching the status bar. Off by default. - Go to Line: Edit ▸ Find ▸ Go to Line… (⌘L), or click “Ln, Col” in the status bar, then type a line, or a line and column as `12:5`. Works in Markdown and plain text files. - Find in the preview: ⌘F in Preview mode (or with the preview focused side by side) opens a find bar; every match is highlighted, Return / ⇧Return or ⌘G / ⇧⌘G move between them. - Light/Dark and Settings buttons in the window toolbar, and you choose which toolbar buttons are shown: Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Toolbar Buttons. - Reorganized Settings: a new Appearance pane (theme, what the window shows, toolbar buttons), and settings grouped into sections with short descriptions. - Text width for the editor, like the preview: Settings ▸ Editor ▸ Text width (Narrow, Medium, Wide or Full Width) keeps long lines centered in a wide window. - Clearer syntax colors in the editor: Markdown markers are easier to read, and links and quotes have their own colors. - Faster with big folders and long documents: saving no longer re-reads the whole folder, Open Quickly and Find in Folder reuse their file list, and the outline and word count update only what changed. - Uses less memory when a window only shows the editor: the preview starts when you first switch to it. - Fixed: an undo (⌘Z) or redo made after the file was saved or autosaved was not saved, so the file kept the text from before the undo.

- Rename files and folders in the sidebar: right-click ▸ Rename…, or select a file and press Return. - Picks up where you left off: reopens last session's files and windows, with their size, position and view mode. - Each file returns to where you were reading and editing, and expanded sidebar folders are remembered. - Smoother sidebar selection when switching files.

- Smart lists: Return continues lists, quotes and to-dos; Tab and Shift-Tab indent and outdent. - Paste or drag images into a document: they're saved in an "assets" folder next to it. - Settings window: editor font, size and line spacing, preview width and typeface, default view. - Richer preview: code highlighting, math (KaTeX), Mermaid diagrams, footnotes and front matter. Works offline. - Sidebar: hover highlight; move files and folders by drag and drop; copy files in from Finder. - View ▸ Reload (⌘R) reads the file again from disk. - Much faster with large documents: typing, scrolling and the preview stay smooth in multi-megabyte files. - Improved About window.
