Current optimizations & roadmap
Last updated: April 2026 (v1.4.3)
Verso is built by a small team. We read every bug report and every feature request. Critical issues (data loss, crashes) get priority. Everything else gets addressed in the next release when possible. We would rather be honest about timelines than make promises we cannot keep.
Currently optimizing
Things we are actively improving.
Table borders can lose exact widths after editing
When you edit a DOCX with complex tables, some border widths and cell backgrounds may shift slightly on save. Verso preserves the original values when it can, but AppKit's text system sometimes overrides them.
HTML import is best-effort
HTML files are rendered using macOS native conversion. Simple pages look great. Complex layouts, custom CSS, and JavaScript-heavy pages will not render perfectly.
Considering
Things we are thinking about. No promises, no timelines.
Drag-and-drop image insertion
Paste images from clipboard
Bookmark support within documents
Additional spell-check language packs
Not planned
Things we have decided against, to keep Verso focused.
Cloud sync or accounts. Your files are yours. We will never require an account or store your documents on our servers.
Real-time collaboration. Verso is for focused, single-author writing. Collaboration tools add complexity that conflicts with the core experience.
Plugin or macro system. Extensibility adds surface area for bugs and support burden. We would rather ship a smaller app that works reliably.

Email hello@versowriter.app with your macOS version, the file you were working with, and a screenshot if possible. That is genuinely all we need to investigate.
