What’s new in Cogito

Preview Markdown files from Finder, open AI Chat without a note to ask questions across a whole Location. Plus better shortcuts, font options, smoother preview, and many fixes.

Send feedback and diagnostics from inside Cogito, render a safe subset of inline HTML in preview, plus a steadier typing caret and sharper LaTeX rendering.

Amp and OpenCode join the AI chat lineup, iCloud notes stay responsive while typing, and several editor and preview quirks are smoothed out.

Long notes stay responsive while typing and toggling preview, with scroll, layout, and rendering fixes across the editor.

A small fix so source mode lets you reach the very end of long notes without losing typing responsiveness.

Preview now renders LaTeX math, new higher permissions for the AI chat, and agent edits are now undoable.

Links in source mode behave more naturally, the AI sidebar handles more on its own, and several 0.9.0 launch issues are resolved.

A new Inspector sidebar gives every note a summary, stats, outline, and related notes at a glance.

Cogito now honors natural text direction for Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL scripts, and introduces a one-time tip to help new users find preview mode.

Chat about your notes with Gemini alongside Claude and Codex, pick your model per conversation, and write with more room using new XL and XXL layout presets.

Navigate your notes by heading, work in a single focused window with scrollable tabs, and run Cogito on macOS Sequoia.

Link notes inline with `[[` suggestions, jump to any line, reorder tabs by dragging, and try a new experimental AI chat sidebar.

Write with callouts, footnotes, and rendered Mermaid charts, track task progress at a glance, and publish to Typefully without leaving the editor.

A full Settings window, PDF and HTML export, and sync-aware sidebar badges make Cogito more capable and context-aware.

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

The sidebar now animates every change and the editor handles list editing more naturally.

Navigate between notes and tabs with new arrow-key shortcuts that follow your sidebar order.

A polished new app icon and more reliable note restoration when reopening from the Dock.

Numbered lists now continue and renumber naturally as you type, alongside heading shortcut fixes and visual refinements across the editor.

Large Markdown notes open dramatically faster, and switching between notes no longer flashes stale content.

Large notes are even more responsive, and a new beautiful transition between source and preview.

Locations can now be renamed without changing the actual folder, notes can be renamed inline, and the editor gains highlight syntax and heading shortcuts.

Adds in-app help and support links, smooths out sidebar resizing and Quick Open scrolling, and polishes the editor and onboarding experience.

Across-the-board performance improvements make the editor, sidebar, and preview noticeably snappier during everyday use.

Navigate your notes faster with Quick Open and Favorites, and enjoy better syntax highlighting and editing in source mode.

Lists, code blocks, and text files all get meaningfully better handling, with new keyboard shortcuts to match.

Obsidian-style embeds bring linked content inline, while editor performance and markdown formatting see meaningful improvements across the board.

Link your notes with [[wiki links]], work across multiple notes with tabs, customize important folders, and use Apple Writing Tools without breaking your Markdown.

Embed images in your notes, enjoy a redesigned native sidebar, and benefit from numerous quality-of-life improvements.

Cogito 0.2.0 brings sidebar drag and drop for moving and copying files, File menu path actions, iA Writer Mono for code blocks, and a rereleased updater fix so Sparkle-enabled betas can see this build in-app.

Cogito's first Sparkle-enabled beta is now available. Existing 0.1.0 testers should install this build manually once; after that, Cogito can check for updates in-app.

Cogito's first public beta is now available as a signed macOS build with a drag-to-Applications DMG, folder-native browsing, source and preview editing, and manual zip-based beta updates.
