  1. v1.0.14 Latest

    Added

    • Quick Capture: press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+N anywhere to jot a thought into Inbox.md, even while Meridian is in the background.
    • Focus mode (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F): hides all chrome and centers the editor for distraction-free writing.
    • Vault Insights panel: note/word/link/tag counts, most-linked notes, and a 90-day activity heatmap.
    • Favorites: star notes from the file tree context menu for quick access.
  2. v1.0.13

    Added

    • Norwegian bokmål (nb) interface language, selectable in Settings → Appearance.
    • Norwegian welcome vault for macOS and Windows first-run experience.

    Fixed

    • Welcome vault download works again: the published vault repository now matches the platform/language layout the app expects.
  3. v1.0.12

    Added

    • Editable right-panel properties backed by YAML frontmatter.
    • Built-in note types and template-based creation for projects, people, daily notes, and tasks.

    • Ask Vault settings with explicit local/external provider and privacy controls.
    • Bundled welcome-vault fallback for Windows and macOS when the remote sample vault cannot be downloaded.

    Changed

    • Windows is now published as a regular release asset, not a beta asset.
    • Windows installer artifact is now Meridian-<version>-windows-x64.exe.
    • Release workflow now publishes changelog-derived GitHub Release notes.
    • Sidebar note creation copy now uses clearer template wording and actions.

    Fixed

    First public release of Meridian — a local-first markdown knowledge base for macOS, inspired by Obsidian (not a drop-in replacement).

    Install (macOS)

    1. Download Meridian-1.0.0-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or Meridian-1.0.0.dmg (Intel).
    2. Open the DMG, drag Meridian into Applications.
    3. First launch: the DMG is unsigned. Right-click the app → Open → confirm once. Subsequent launches work normally.

    Highlights

    • CodeMirror 6 editor with split panes, tabs, slash commands, auto-save
    • Wiki-links [[Note]], image embeds ![[photo.png]], note transclusion ![[Other Note]]
    • Live Markdown preview (GFM tables, Mermaid, callouts, ==highlight==)
    • Full-text search, Command Palette (⌘K), backlinks, tags, Table of Contents
    • Graph view (D3) with timeline animation and WebM export
    • Infinite Canvas (Konva) and Sketchpad (Excalidraw-like) — .canvas / .excalidraw files
    • Daily notes (⌘D), templates with {{date}} / {{title}}
    • HTML / PDF export
    • Git panel: status, commit, push/pull, GitHub device-flow login, optional autocommit
    • Plugin API v1 with hot-reload for community plugins under {vault}/.meridian/plugins/
    • 8 themes, 5 accents, configurable editor fonts and layout

    See CHANGELOG.md for the full feature list.

    Notes

    • macOS only for now. The app uses macOS-specific UI (hiddenInset titlebar, dock behavior). Windows/Linux builds are not supported in this release.
    • Built unsigned. macOS Gatekeeper will block double-click on first launch — right-click → Open instead.
