Latest

Update Focus

A small follow-up to Studio 1.0, with fixes and polish from your first feedback. These changes are in the web app and the desktop app, where the update installs on its own.

  • Focus mode: closing the command palette or a menu with Esc no longer leaves focus mode
  • Wiki: entry pages adjust more smoothly to narrow windows and split view

Fixed

  • Grid: the color palette now works for sticky notes as well as tiles, and sticky notes can be deleted from the toolbar
  • Grid: exports include everything in the new grid, including your latest edits
  • Word counts and wiki mentions now include text written in the new grid

Update #13: Exports, Find & Replace & Mobile
Released August 24, 2026

Update Focus

This update adds exports for cards, grids, outlines, and wikis; file search across all projects; find and replace in text files and manuscripts; version history for more file types; and undo/redo improvements. The mobile app is part of this release as well. The iOS update may take an additional day or two before it is available.

New: Studio Exports

  • Export more of your Studio work for backup or use in other apps. These preserve content, not a 1:1 Studio copy
  • Card stacks: File options → Export Card Stack downloads a spreadsheet (.csv), one row per card
  • Grids: File options → Export Grid downloads a spreadsheet (.csv) arranged to roughly match your layout
  • Outlines: File options → Export Outline as plain text (.txt) or Markdown (.md)
  • Wikis: File options → Export Wiki as .docx, Markdown, or plain text. You can also export a single entry. .docx keeps formatting best; images and interactive links may not fully transfer

Search Files Across All Projects

  • Search your files from the Projects page without opening a project first. Click the search icon next to the + button, or press Ctrl+K / Cmd+K
  • Filter by file type, Favorites, or a specific project. Selecting a result opens that file
  • Matches file names only — searching inside file contents is not included yet

Find and Replace

  • Text files and manuscripts now have Find and replace. Open it from the toolbar, the manuscript header, or ⌘F / Ctrl+F (⌘⌥F / Ctrl+H to replace)
  • Step through matches, replace one at a time, or replace all. Match case and whole word are available
  • In a manuscript, search covers every page in the binder. Replace all confirms at 20 or more matches

Grid: Drag, Drop, and Connections

  • Improved tile dragging so moving tiles around the grid feels more predictable
  • Smoother experience when drawing and using connection lines

Undo and Redo

  • Cards: undo/redo is now in the file header (Ctrl/⌘Z, Ctrl/⌘Shift+Z, Ctrl+Y)
  • Grid and outline: the same keyboard shortcuts now work. Outline no longer records a history step just for focusing a line
  • While typing, ⌘Z undoes the typing, not the last document change. History is session-only

Version History for More File Types

  • Version history now covers wikis, card stacks, grids, and outlines, not just text files
  • Changed files are backed up daily. You can still create a checkpoint or restore an earlier version at any time
  • Structured files show a snapshot summary instead of a text preview. Manuscripts and device sync are unchanged

Editor Polish

  • Dark mode caret uses the gold accent and is slightly thicker in both themes
  • Clicking to the right of a line in a text file now puts the caret at the end of that line

Mobile App

This release also includes updates to the mobile app. The iOS update may require an additional day or two before it is available. Direct download links are on the Studio page.

Comments

  • The comment system from the web app is now on mobile. It works with manuscripts and text files, the same way it does on the web
  • Tap a highlighted passage to open that comment; the comments list now scrolls to the one you tapped
  • Long-press a highlight to place the cursor and edit the text. A short tap still opens comments
  • Editing text inside a highlight keeps the comment attached to that passage

Device ID & Settings

  • The mobile app now supports 8-character device IDs, rather than the previous 6
  • Device settings for your BYOK now match the web app, including those related to auto-sync

Text Editor & Manuscripts

  • Line spacing: Default, Single, or Double. Default matches Studio (1.5). Your choice is remembered on this device
  • Line breaks: paragraphs from the BYOK now show with space between them in manuscript view and in the text editor, the same way they do in Studio. A single Enter is treated as a new paragraph (or as a line break if that is your device setting)

Find and Replace, History & Undo

  • Find and replace is now on mobile, the same as the web app. Access it from the file menu of text or manuscript files
  • Expanded version history now includes historical versions of grid, wiki, card, and outline files, in addition to the text file version history that already existed
  • An undo/redo system has been added to the card file editor, and the undo/redo system of the outline file editor has been upgraded

Other Changes

  • Several bug fixes and other quality-of-life improvements
Update #12: Faster Long Files, Smarter Navigation & Scratch Pad Polish
Released August 1, 2026

Update Focus

This update improves performance in long files, reworks Studio’s navigation, adds a faster way to build manuscripts, and includes polish for the Scratch Pad, Grid, and theming.

Performance: Built for Long Files

  • Fast typing in big documents: typing in large text files and manuscripts is now dramatically more responsive, even at 100,000+ words
  • Regression fixed: part of this slowdown crept in with a previous update. That’s been rooted out along with several older bottlenecks, so long files should feel better than ever, not just “back to normal”

Smarter Navigation

  • The back button now goes back: with a document open, the back arrow closes your document and returns you to the project instead of jumping all the way out to the project list
  • Breadcrumb header: the header now shows Projects / Your Project, so you can always see where you are and jump straight to your projects with one click
  • Devices page returns you to your work: opening Devices no longer navigates you away. It opens over your current page and closes right back to it, with your open documents untouched

Manuscript: Add Files in Bulk

  • Multi-select picker: the “Add Existing File” picker now lets you select many files at once instead of one at a time
  • Clear ordering: numbered badges show exactly what order your selections will be added in. Shift-click selects a whole range
  • One-click add: confirm once and everything is added in a single, reliable operation
  • Cleaner picker: the picker is now a centered dialog like Studio’s other windows, instead of a popup anchored to the page

Scratch Pad Refinements

  • Two focused tabs: the Scratch Pad is now just Tasks and Notes. The old “All” tab mixed both types and forced clunky raw-text editing for checklists. Each tab now edits its content the right way
  • Edit tasks from the quick access panel: click any task’s text to edit it in place, press Enter to split into a new task, and delete tasks with the new hover trashcan button, all without opening the full Scratch Pad
  • Steady panel size: the quick access panel now has a fixed height instead of growing and shrinking with its contents, so it always opens looking the same
  • Centered layout: on large screens, notes, tasks, and captures now sit in a comfortable centered column instead of stretching to the far left edge

Grid: No More Accidental Tiles

  • Click to deselect, double-click to create: clicking empty grid space now simply deselects, with no more accidentally spawning tiles. Double-click an empty cell (or use the subtle + button) to create one, and drag to size it, same as always

Other Improvements

  • Recent files in the drawer: a new Recents filter in the drawer’s Show section lists your most recently updated files, right next to Favorites
  • Pasted text matches Studio: text pasted from other apps now adopts Studio’s formatting. No more invisible white text pasted from dark-mode apps. Pasted text always follows your theme, while bold, italics, lists, and links are kept
  • Theme picker in dark mode: the Choose Theme menu now previews each theme’s actual dark-mode colors when Studio is in dark mode

Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Word count goals in text files: session goals now count words typed in the dedicated text file window, not just in the manuscript, and words are never counted twice across the two views
  • Manuscript navigator pills: section pills no longer get squished and cut off when a manuscript has many sections. The list scrolls instead
  • Paragraph spacing in manuscripts: device-synced text files now show proper paragraph spacing in manuscript view, matching how they look in document view. This also fixes strange Enter and Backspace behavior when editing those files in a manuscript
  • Word exports keep your paragraphs: exporting to Word no longer “glues” paragraphs together. Blank lines between paragraphs now become real paragraph breaks in the DOCX, so formatting one paragraph doesn’t drag its neighbors along
  • Additional quality-of-life improvements throughout Studio
Update #11: Device Settings, Line Spacing & Stability
Released July 17, 2026

Update Focus

This update is wide-ranging: new Device Settings on the Devices page, line spacing options for manuscript and text files, and a large round of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements across Studio.

Device Settings

Device Settings on the Devices page, including line break handling and automatic sync for new Studio files

New: Device Settings

  • Devices page controls: a new Device Settings section lets you set default behaviors for how Studio and your BYOK work together
  • Line break handling: choose how line breaks are handled between the device and Studio
  • Auto-sync new files: control whether newly created Studio text files automatically sync to your BYOK
  • Default change: newly created Studio text files now sync to the BYOK by default. Prefer the previous behavior? Turn the setting off in Device Settings

New: Line Spacing

  • Manuscript and text files: choose between the default 1.5 spacing, single spacing, or double spacing
  • Visual only: these options are for readability in Studio and do not change the underlying file format

Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Text and manuscript consistency: fixed cases where changes did not always appear consistently between text files and manuscript files
  • Comment panel: improved so it respects zoom levels and is more stable overall
  • Word export: exporting to Word now produces properly formatted DOCX files
  • Cursor jumps: fixed bugs where the cursor would sometimes jump to the beginning or end of a manuscript or text file
  • File renaming: improved the file renaming process for a smoother, more reliable experience
  • Captures stability: fixed cases where captures were not always added to the Scratch Pad according to their expected behavior
  • Many additional bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements throughout Studio
Update #10: Captures, Comments & the Scratch Pad
Released May 28, 2026

Update Focus

The Scratch Pad now has two tabs: Notes (everything it already did) and Captures (new). Write ::card, ::wiki, ::outline, or ::comment in any text file on your BYOK and Studio turns those lines into structured items on sync, ready to drop into the right file with one click, or routed there automatically if you set up the rules. A new comment system anchors notes to file content alongside the text, with a Google-Docs-style column.

The Capture System

Capture settings modal with default destinations and auto-routing toggles
Comments anchored to text file content in a column beside the editor

Full syntax reference, routing rules, and the Notes-tab manual are on the new feature page: Scratch Pad & Captures

New: The Capture System

  • Device commands: ::card, ::wiki, ::outline, and ::meta recognized on text files synced from your BYOK
  • Captures inbox: a new tab in the Scratch Pad where structured items wait for triage, with type filters, search, group tiles, and per-type previews
  • Default destinations: set a default card stack, wiki, and outline per project so captures land where you expect
  • Handle mappings: bind @handles to specific files and sections. ::card @worldbuilding routes itself
  • Auto-route toggle: when on, captures with a resolvable destination skip the inbox entirely on sync
  • Custom commands: map any non-reserved ::token to a built-in capture type with an optional default handle
  • File Mode: a file beginning with ::as outline becomes a whole outline file in Studio

New: The Comment System

  • From the device: [bracketed text] ::comment your note becomes an anchored highlight + comment card in Studio
  • Positional comments: a bare ::comment line attaches to the paragraph above it
  • From the web: select text in Studio and add a comment directly. No device required
  • Google-Docs-style column: comment cards live in a column beside the file, aligned to their highlights
  • Survives edits: highlights re-anchor by snippet match on every re-sync; orphaned comments pile in a section at the bottom so nothing is lost

Scratch Pad: A New Home

  • Header Inbox button: one-click access to the Scratch Pad from any project, next to the Settings gear. Remembers your last-used tab
  • Drawer Inbox icon: a second entry point at the top of the project drawer that opens Captures directly
  • Two tabs: Notes (everything you've always had) and Captures (new). The floating notepad button still works exactly as before
  • Source-file links: every device-synced entry (note or capture) shows a small "from FileName" link on hover so you can jump back to the original text file
  • Syntax reference, routing rules, and the Notes-tab manual: Read the guide

Other Improvements

  • Manuscript navigator overhaul: a refreshed navigator for moving through manuscript chapters and sections
  • Redesigned New File modal: a centered picker with file-type descriptions (Cards / Wiki / Outline / Manuscript / Text) plus an upload option for .txt and .docx
  • Dark-theme scrollbar fix: the Scratch Pad scrollbar now respects the dark theme
  • Fix for the Capture Settings folder dropdown
  • Fix for the default destination folder for new device text files
  • Several other quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes

Nothing Was Removed

  • Existing notes, checklists, and drag-and-drop targets all still work. The "Scratchpad" you used yesterday is the "Scratch Pad → Notes" you use today: same behavior, same notes, new name and new neighbor
