Plain-language notes for every update. Clear explanations of new capabilities, speed improvements, and fixes for everyday writing.
Verso 3.0.9
Latest Release
The Knowledge Galaxy rebuilt paper-first, on macOS, iPad, iPhone and Linux, so the map is read at three altitudes: regions, then hubs, then every note.
NewBounded regions: Each constellation is drawn as a real boundary with its name on a plate, and regions are spaced so no two ever cross.
NewAltitude: A Regions / Hubs / All notes control replaces the zoom percentage. Labels are named by rank at each step, and every note is named at the lowest.
NewThree kinds of star: Hubs wear a ring, linked notes are solid, stubs are a ring alone. Links are solid in their region's hue; echoes are dotted and neutral.
NewFollowing: Select a note and the map dims to its first degree, with a pill that names what you are following. The detail panel pins its header, and each connected note is one click on.
NewAccent-derived hues: The constellation colours are derived from the workspace accent, so a Cobalt or Rust workspace no longer looks purple.
ImprovediPad and iPhone: The legend and altitude sit in one bottom bar on iPad; on iPhone a tap pushes the note full screen, double-tap fits, and a two-finger tap steps out.
ImprovedLinux: The same regions, altitude, plates and panel on GNOME.
Verso 3.0.7
The Knowledge Galaxy redesigned so a workspace of hundreds of notes reads as a map, and made fast enough to open at once.
NewConstellations: Notes that link or echo among themselves form named regions, each with its own colour and halo. The legend isolates one region with a click.
NewLabels that earn their place: The most connected notes are named first, more appear as you zoom, and no label covers another. Titles come from the note's first heading.
NewFocus: Hover or select a note and only its neighbourhood stays lit. The detail panel lists connected notes, links before echoes, and each one is a step to the next.
NewFind a note: Type to light matching notes; Enter selects the first and centres on it. Fit, zoom and rebuild controls on the map.
NewLight mode: The map follows the app appearance with its own inked palette.
ImprovedSpeed: The semantic index is kept on disk and only new or edited notes are re-read, in parallel. The layout settles before the map appears and the canvas redraws only when you interact. Galaxy tabs restored from a previous session build on sight.
ImprovedLinux: The same map, panel, search and palettes on GNOME, with the build and file reads off the main thread.
Verso 3.0.2
Shortcut tooltips on the format rail, on macOS and Linux.
NewRail tooltips: Hover any key on the format rail and a pill opens on the inside of the workspace with the tool name and its keyboard shortcut.
ImprovedLinux rail: GTK tooltips now carry the shortcut and match the Verso theme.
FixedTooltip placement: The pill no longer opens past the window edge.
Verso 3.0.0
Galaxy View, provenance marking, syntax highlighting, and on-device semantic echoes with cadence analysis across macOS and Linux.
NewGalaxy View: The whole workspace drawn as a semantic knowledge graph. Documents cluster by meaning, links pull them together, and Back / Forward navigation carries you between the graph and the page.
NewProvenance: Mark a selection as Human / Typed or Pasted / Machine and keep a record of which words you wrote yourself.
NewSyntax highlighting: Highlight Markdown by category, switch categories on and off, and run a Style Check over the draft.
NewThe Orbit (Semantic Echoes): Surfaces connected notes across your entire folder using local embeddings without manual wiki-links or file format pollution.
NewVoice & Cadence Radar: Live analysis of sentence length variance, rhythm variety, adversative accumulations, short blades, and 27 banned AI slop markers to preserve authentic authorial tone.
NewResonance Shortcut: Open the Resonance Orbit sheet instantly with ⌥⌘R or click the ambient status capsule to jump directly between resonant drafts.
Verso 2.0.4
Raw Markdown and text commands for restructuring a document without leaving the keyboard, on macOS and Linux alike.
NewMove and duplicate lines: Move Line Up, Move Line Down and Duplicate Line carry a line or a whole selection through the document with the caret riding along.
NewHeading structure: Promote Heading and Demote Heading shift every touched heading one level, and Table of Contents writes a linked outline that refreshes in place on the next run.
NewList control: Toggle Task checks and unchecks items, Cycle List Type rotates plain text, bullets, numbers and tasks, and Renumber Ordered List repairs the counts per indentation level.
NewTables: Format / Align Table lines up every column and keeps alignment marks, and Convert CSV / TSV to Table turns pasted spreadsheet rows into a Markdown table in one step.
NewCleanup: Normalize Quotes & Punctuation brings typographic quotes, dashes and ellipses back to plain ASCII, and Strip Markdown Formatting reduces a selection to prose.
ImprovedWriting Tools on macOS: Apple Intelligence rewrites now leave fenced code, front matter, inline code, tables and link destinations untouched.
Verso 2.0.3
Untitled documents you can start typing in at once, a solid window chrome, and a fix for the freeze when a large watched folder changes.
NewWrite first, save anywhere: a new document opens ready to type. Save or Save As opens the system dialog and the file goes wherever you choose.
ImprovedSolid window chrome: sidebar and toolbar now render on solid design tokens, so wallpaper no longer bleeds through the window.
FixedFreeze on large folders: changes inside a big watched folder, such as your home folder, no longer lock up the window while Verso rescans it.
ImprovedLinux packages at 2.0.3: the AppImage and .deb builds carry the same background rescan fix, so the GTK window stays responsive while a watched folder changes.
Verso 1.0.3
Quick access from the macOS menu bar, refreshed document icons for clarity in Finder, and smoother folder monitoring.
NewMenu bar quick-access: A compact menu bar icon lets you view current document word counts and open your workspace with one click.
ImprovedHigh-resolution document icons: Markdown files associated with Verso now display crisp, distinctive icons across light and dark modes in macOS Finder.
FixedExternal drive monitoring: When editing files stored on external SSDs or network mounts, folder changes now sync instantly without manual refresh.
Verso 1.0.2
Typing latency reductions on high refresh rate displays and streamlined document previews.
ImprovedProMotion 120 Hz responsiveness: Reduced input latency when drafting long manuscripts on MacBook Pro ProMotion displays.
ImprovedDocument rendering: Text contrast and line spacing adjusted for improved reading comfort during long writing sessions.

ImprovedKeyboard navigation: Pressing arrow keys moves focus cleanly between the sidebar folder tree and the editor pane.

NewSmart HTML browser routing: HTML files using scripts, CSS grid, flexbox, or positioned layouts automatically display an Open in Browser button and page title rather than a flattened preview.

NewZero-memory piece table: Edits are recorded in lightweight memory structures over the memory-mapped file; a 5 GB log file edits smoothly without exhausting your system memory.
