0.5.0April 9, 2026

New fonts, PDF export, and MDX support

Customize your editor fonts and layout, export notes to PDF, and work with MDX files natively.

Starting with this release, Cogito no longer offers iA Writer Mono and iA Writer Quattro.

The folks at iA kindly asked me to remove them to avoid confusion with their product, which is totally fair, and as a longtime iA Writer fan I'm happy to respect that. In their place, you now get a brand-new Settings screen with a wider selection of great fonts to choose from.

New

Typography settings — choose your text and code fonts, adjust body width and line height, and reset to defaults anytime from Settings
PDF export — export any Markdown note as a paginated PDF via File > Export as PDF (⌘⇧E), using the same rendering as preview
Basic preliminary MDX support — browse, search, edit, and preview .mdx files alongside your Markdown notes

Improved

External files section — now collapsible with a clearer label
Polished menu labels and commands for multi-window workflows

Fixed

Fixed an app freeze that could occur after editing
Wiki links now show their correct tint while the note graph is still loading
