Every release.
36 releases so far, newest first. Updates download quietly in the background and apply when you quit — there is no modal and no forced restart.
- v2.0.18Latest
- Sidebar folders that contain nested folders but no notes of their own now show a half-filled folder icon
- Daily notes no longer duplicate in the vault root when the default folder hasn't finished loading, and an existing same-date note is reused instead of creating a second copy
- Cmd+K is now an alias for opening search (alongside Cmd+O)
- Settings → Boards: choose where completed tasks go — Stay, Top, or Bottom (unchecking moves them just outside the done group)
- Checking off a task or subtask plays a short completion animation on the board and in Task view
- First-run setup creates a fresh vault only — "Open Existing Folder" is removed from that screen so welcome notes always bootstrap; you can still open an existing folder later from the Vault modal
- macOS DMG installer shows a drag arrow between the app and Applications
- Heading fold is hierarchical — Option+Z collapses a heading and all nested headings beneath it, through the next same-level (or shallower) heading
- Option+Cmd+Z cascade-folds ancestor headings one level per press (current → parent → grandparent…), then reopens them from the outside in (Alt+Ctrl+Z on Windows)
- Faster launches on large vaults — the backlink index now persists across sessions, so unchanged notes are not rescanned every time you open the app
- Smoother performance on large vaults — backlink scanning now reads notes in chunks and yields between batches so typing and UI stay responsive after launch
- App config now lives in `~/.nolagmind` (renamed from `~/.note-app`); existing installs are migrated automatically
- macOS DMG builds work reliably in non-GUI / Automation-denied environments
- Rewrote the welcome walkthrough for new vaults — clearer Basics → Power features → What else is possible path
- macOS download is now a drag-to-Applications DMG instead of a ZIP
- Fixed Cmd+Enter on a wikilink accidentally re-opening the link after navigation (Editor remount no longer loses the suppress window)
- Create New Vault and Open Existing Folder sit side by side in the vault switcher and search vault picker
- Vault switching feels instant: the switcher closes right away and reloads the new vault in the background
- Creating or opening a vault now switches into it immediately
- Fixed vault switches leaking notes, previews, pins, and property catalogs from the previous vault
- Deleting a large vault no longer freezes the UI
- Faster vault switches when caches are clean (skip unnecessary localStorage writes)
- Recent note cards load with one batched read instead of per-card fetches
- App display name is now **Nolagmind** (single capital N, matching nolagmind.com)
- Renamed the app to **Nolagmind** (Dock, Spotlight, and window title)
- Download ZIP and auto-update bundle now use the new app name
- Images — inline images in paragraphs and bullet lists no longer leave ghost empty lines; Backspace at image boundaries no longer crashes; legacy block-image bullets normalize to one line
- Grid & list — note previews load in one batch instead of one IPC call per card or row; offscreen cards and rows skip layout and paint for smoother scrolling
- Backlinks — indexed with mtime validation instead of re-reading the whole vault on every open
- Search — name scan and result DOM work are deferred so the modal stays responsive on large vaults
- Editor — less redundant work on every keystroke in the typing hot path
- Vault — property catalog hydrates incrementally from a persisted mtime map; batch reads and content search run in parallel on the backend
- Names — notes, boards, and mind maps now share one name per folder; create, rename, and move show which kind already exists
- Wikilinks — `[[` autocomplete can create mind maps (`/m`, `/mindmap`) or boards (`/b`, `/board`) with the right icon and label
- Search — batch command uses Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) to finish selecting notes and choose Delete or Move; tag/sort/batch autocomplete anchors to the search input
- Previews — image-only notes and image markdown in grep/backlink snippets show `[image]` instead of blank or raw syntax
- Editor — empty leading list items survive markdown reload; pasting an image into an empty bullet aligns cleanly with the marker
- macOS — window uses the hidden title bar style for a cleaner chrome
- Themes — Ashen Dark accent color now uses the official red palette instead of blue
- Themes — Ferra Dark developer theme using the official Ferra palette
- Themes — Ashen Dark developer theme using the official Ashen palette
- Themes — Flexoki Dark and Flexoki Light developer themes using the official Flexoki palette
- Updates — non-blocking corner banner replaces the modal; downloads run in the background and apply automatically when you quit (optional Restart Now)
- Updates — startup update check always hits the network so available updates surface reliably on launch
- Faster vault switching — no blank flash when changing vaults; property catalog is cached in memory for revisits
- Faster startup — combined vault config IPC call, one-pass note property hydration, and legacy mind-map migration runs only once per vault
- No Lag Mind Note App 2.0 — clean version numbering from 1.7.9 through 1.9.9
- Removed experimental move-to-Applications first-launch prompt
- Updates — startup update check now always hits the network so the update popup appears reliably on launch (Settings manual check was already correct)
- macOS — first launch now offers to move the app from Downloads to your Applications folder (with App Translocation support and optional "Don't ask again")
- Themes — Rosé Pine accent colors updated to match the official palette
- Welcome notes — advanced shortcuts walkthrough now documents autocomplete list actions (⌘Delete to remove custom properties or slash commands, ⌘Enter to edit a slash command)
- macOS — Option+letter shortcuts (⌥N, ⌥D, ⌥Z, ⌥[, ⌥1–9, etc.) no longer insert special characters or dead keys into the editor
- macOS — Escape in native fullscreen no longer exits fullscreen when a modal or in-app handler should consume it
- Wikilink autocomplete — typing `[[` after an existing wikilink in the same paragraph is detected correctly
- Slash commands — modal editor round-trips markdown the same way as note content (tasks, wikilinks, blank lines)
- Slash commands — command names are sanitized as you type; Enter/Escape work in the delete confirmation dialog
- Slash command insertion — expanded content uses the same TipTap markdown pipeline as note loading
- Editor — opening or switching notes no longer adds spurious undo history steps from post-load normalization
- Onboarding walkthrough — welcome notes are reorganized into beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages with dedicated subfolders for each level
- New vaults — welcome notes copy recursively so nested walkthrough folders come along automatically
- First vault — the app now opens "Welcome (start here!)" as the landing note instead of the old welcome.md
- Board task detail panel — opening task details suspends board keyboard shortcuts and inline editing so the side panel keeps focus without fighting the board behind it
- Board find — blocked task titles are excluded from search until their blockers are completed
- Mind map editing — clicking a node to edit now places the caret where you clicked instead of snapping to the end, so wikilink navigation works right after a click
- Mind map grow-down layout — top-down trees now use a dedicated layout with tighter sibling spacing and width caps, so cousin branches no longer overlap
- Faster note switching — wikilink resolution and sidebar sorting no longer rescan the vault on every click or note change
- Smoother startup — update checks wait until the app is idle and respect the check cooldown, so relaunching doesn't compete with vault loading
- Faster vault switching — revisiting a vault you already opened this session restores its note list instantly instead of rescanning disk
- Smoother update checks — the app checks for updates immediately on launch, hiding the network round-trip behind normal startup work instead of flashing a prompt after the home screen loads
- Developer theme colors — official palette colors for Gruvbox, Monokai Pro, One Dark, Tokyo Night, Ayu, Night Owl, Everforest, Kanagawa, Rosé Pine, and Horizon
- Sort by note type — filter notes in Search with `sort: note type markdown`, `mindmap`, or `board` (supports `or` to combine types)

- Faster sidebar, search, and startup with improved property cache and usage stats
- Fix Recent Cards entrance animation stacking all cards on top of each other
- Add `/release-note-app` Cursor slash command for one-step app + website releases

- View entrance animations — quick, snappy animations when opening home screens, tasks, calendar, and graph (respects reduced motion)
