What’s New

Everything we have shipped, version by version.

1.4.3

April 2026
Redesigned Focus Mode with sentence-level dimmingFull workspace save and restoreScroll stability fixesImages now appear in print and PDF export
  • Focus Mode has been rebuilt from scratch. The format bar, status bar, inspector, and all sidebars hide completely. The window resizes to show the full page with nothing between you and your words. Press Esc or click the floating exit button to leave.
  • Focus Mode now dims surrounding text at the sentence level, matching the approach used by iA Writer. Only the sentence you are writing stays fully visible while the rest fades to about a third opacity. The dimming uses a non-destructive rendering layer so your text is never modified and undo history stays clean.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking to place the cursor caused the page to scroll to the wrong position. Cursor placement is now rock-solid across all pages.
  • Focus Mode now saves and restores your entire workspace state: inspector visibility, sidebar positions, zoom level, and window frame all return exactly where they were when you exit.
  • Improved Focus Mode exit button visibility and positioning. The button now sits clearly between the page edge and the window border.
  • Fixed a bug where images would not appear in print output or PDF export. Lazy-loaded images that had not been scrolled into view are now force-loaded before rendering to the print graphics context.

1.4.2

April 2026
Smart table paste from webCode block styling with syntax coloursLaTeX math rendering on paste
  • Pasting tables from ChatGPT, Gemini, and other web sources now builds a proper grid. Rows, columns, and cell content land exactly where they should instead of collapsing into a flat paragraph.
  • Code blocks pasted from the web are automatically restyled in Courier 13 with tight line spacing and per-token syntax highlighting for 20+ languages.
  • LaTeX math notation pasted from AI tools renders inline and display equations automatically. Expressions like $E = mc^2$ and display blocks with $$...$$ are converted to typeset math images on paste.
  • Fixed Unicode encoding when pasting from web sources. Characters that previously appeared garbled now display correctly.

1.4.1

April 2026
Distraction-free writing modeImproved line spacing accuracySmarter typewriter scrolling
  • Focus Mode dims all paragraphs except the one you are typing in. The format bar hides and all chrome fades aggressively so only your words remain. Toggle with Cmd+Shift+F or from the Writing section in the inspector.
  • Typewriter Scrolling keeps the cursor at a comfortable position on screen while you type. It only activates when the cursor drifts outside the visible comfort zone, so pages that already fit in view stay put. Toggle with Cmd+Ctrl+T.
  • Dim While Writing fades the toolbar, inspector, and sidebars to 50% opacity while you type, bringing them back when you stop or hover. The format bar now adopts the same visual appearance as the inspector while dimmed for a uniform look.
  • Line spacing now uses the correct lineHeightMultiple property instead of absolute spacing. Text in Verso matches Word and print output exactly. All 16 paragraph styles have been recalibrated.
  • Fixed a white square in the bottom-right corner that appeared in dark mode. The forced .aqua appearance now applies only to the document view, not the scroll view chrome.
  • Fixed the font colour indicator bar flickering while typing. Redundant layer redraws are now skipped when the colour has not changed.
