Release notes

Mind Marshal changelog: every release, dated and explained

Every public release is documented here with a version, date, and customer-readable highlights. The installed app’s update notice links back to the matching entry. New to the app? The setup guide covers install and first run. Looking forward instead of back? The roadmap lists what is in development and planned, with no promised dates.

Mind Marshal 0.1.24

September 8, 2026

  • Give the AI a goal and watch it work. The new Run panel starts a governed run: state a goal, choose the scope and how much autonomy it gets (plan only, propose, or act within a write cap), and follow a four-step rail that narrates what was read, which provider drafted, which shape was chosen and why, and where the result landed. Skip, edit the goal, raise the cap, or undo everything, and save a finished run as a routine to reuse on any page.
  • Stage workflows grew up. Each stage now has an explicit destination that survives reordering, conditions such as “only when Priority is High”, branches that route on a card property or the agent’s answer, and an action library (set a property, create a page, append to a page, notify) where every action is switchable and undoable on its own. Preview says exactly what a run would do and why cards are skipped, and the board’s routing can be drawn as a flowchart and edited back into the workflow.
  • Charts and diagrams travel. Databases gained a chart view; charts and flowcharts export faithfully to Word, PDF and Markdown; proposals from outside assistants over MCP now show up in the run rail with Accept and Reject; and Activity can be filtered by who made each change: you, a run, a workflow, or an MCP client.
  • Both desktop platforms are on 0.1.24. The macOS Universal build is Developer ID signed, Apple notarized and stapled; the Windows installer is Authenticode signed and timestamped for publisher Thomas Whiteford, Microsoft Defender scanned clean, with a verified signed updater feed.

Mind Marshal 0.1.23

September 5, 2026

  • MCP tools now appear in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Codex. Search, board, and card results are returned in the structured shape those hosts validate, every tool declares whether it reads or writes, and the copy-ready host snippets in Settings match what each client expects.
  • Connecting is fast and honest. The MCP server answers the handshake in milliseconds instead of waiting on Keychain and licence checks, rejects unknown clients immediately, and reports a temporarily unavailable licence store as such rather than as a missing Pro plan.
  • macOS only for now. This release ships as a Universal notarized build; the Windows installer stays on 0.1.22 until its build completes.

Mind Marshal 0.1.22

September 4, 2026

  • Captured ideas now become guided projects. Turn an Inbox thought into real work, move honestly from Captured through Shaped, Planned, In motion, and Realised, and keep one focused next action visible on the project and Home.
  • Project boards are easier to organize safely. Custom sections, reliable card reordering, and safer idea-to-project workflows preserve the source thought while creating actionable work.
  • Writing and collaboration are more dependable. The patched Tiptap 3 editor keeps links and nested tables reliable across Chromium and WebKit, strengthens AI entitlement boundaries, and is protected by release checks that follow the app’s split native modules.

Mind Marshal 0.1.21

August 27, 2026

  • AI visual briefs are native and editable. Turn the current page into charts and diagrams with fitted titles and reviewable controls instead of receiving a flattened generated picture.
  • First run is steadier. Onboarding and the guided tour remain accessible in compact windows, create deterministic starter content, and wait for real interface targets before advancing.
  • Storage and release boundaries are stricter. Workspace Health blocks unsafe format writes and maintenance paths, and both signed platform installers passed install, update, and workspace-preservation checks.

Mind Marshal 0.1.20

August 27, 2026

  • Home now feels native to the product. The redesigned command center uses stronger spacing, clearer boundaries, calmer hierarchy, and responsive layouts that stay usable in compact windows.
  • macOS catches up to Windows. One Universal build runs on Apple Silicon and Intel, is signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, stapled, and delivered through a verified signed updater feed.
  • Both desktop platforms are now on 0.1.20. The Windows installer remains Authenticode signed and timestamped for publisher Thomas Whiteford, with its signed updater feed and verified release evidence intact.

Mind Marshal 0.1.17

August 24, 2026

  • Project Atlas makes human oversight visible. Open a zoomable map of the whole workspace or one project, follow files into workflow stages and tasks, inspect prompts and approval gates, and see recent runs or failures before opening the underlying work.
  • Scheduled encrypted backups, safer restore previews, and offline PDF export make it easier to protect, inspect, and move work without handing the workspace to a cloud service.
  • Visual design now includes direct canvas editing, reusable versioned scenes, media and grouping, while Pro creative automation still sends every proposed output through human approval.
  • The universal macOS build is signed and notarized. Windows 0.1.17 is also available with a verified updater signature and clean Microsoft Defender package scans, under the explicit one-time temporary unsigned exception documented in the setup guide.

Mind Marshal 0.1.16

August 23, 2026

  • Free Core is the complete manual local workspace. Notes, pages, databases, boards, templates, imports, editing, backup, restore, and export have no commercial resource caps; Pro is reserved for AI and automated workflows.
  • A clearer Continue Free path and stronger entitlement handling keep the workspace writable and protect local data when a trial or license ends, refreshes, or is deactivated.
  • Word exports now include the real images from your pages, while licensing refresh and expiry handling are more reliable across restarts and background checks.

Mind Marshal 0.1.15

August 22, 2026

  • Word and Markdown exports now work for every regular page, including pages created in the newer local-first workspace format, with clearer errors if a destination cannot be written.
  • People without a paid AI subscription can set up private local AI from onboarding with a guided, integrity-checked Ollama install and model download.
  • Dark and light themes are more readable and personal, with accent choices, stronger contrast, and reliability fixes for overlapping saves and narrow editor layouts.

Mind Marshal 0.1.13

August 21, 2026

  • Template commands stay clickable. The slash-command menu now stays above the sticky formatting toolbar, so Meeting notes and other prose starters can be inserted without toolbar buttons intercepting the click.
  • The complete starter workflow passes in Chromium and WebKit: 10 database starters, 3 prose starters, command-palette actions, and user-template management.
  • Windows 0.1.13 is current in this release; the signed and notarized macOS 0.1.11 build remains current for Mac.

Mind Marshal 0.1.12

August 21, 2026

  • A useful morning dashboard. Home now gathers today’s journal, due work, calendar context, and recent pages in one place, with a compact layout that stays contained in dual-pane and resized workspaces.
  • Capture that feels tangible. The Inbox is now a sticky-note board that makes unfiled thoughts easier to scan and move into real work.
  • Health and export feedback. Workspace Health can verify database integrity and backup freshness on demand, while Word, Excel, and Markdown exports explain what is available and what to do next.
  • Windows 0.1.12 is current in this release; the signed and notarized macOS 0.1.11 build remains current for Mac.

Mind Marshal 0.1.11

August 20, 2026

  • Every starter template rebuilt. The budget separates needs from wants and tracks planned against actual, so the board shows where the month is actually leaking. The sales pipeline forecasts on win odds, flags deals nobody has touched, and can finally record a loss.
  • Numbers that answer a question. Trades are graded by R multiple rather than raw dollars, client projects show budget burn against hours logged, KPIs carry a trend and a staleness warning, and the trip planner works out cost per night from the dates you entered.
  • The content calendar asks for the hook before you write, tracks the call to action, and records how each piece performed so the next one can learn from it.
  • Meeting notes, weekly review and research brief now carry a method: the decision a meeting exists to make, a parking lot for derailers, only three priorities a week, and sources weighed by credibility.
  • New in-template guides: a monthly budget routine, a day-1/7/14 routine for chasing overdue invoices, and a before-you-fly checklist on the trip planner.
  • The macOS universal build is signed and notarized for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Mind Marshal 0.1.10

August 17, 2026

  • Free plan: the full local workspace — pages, databases, journal, capture-in, search, export — is now free forever. AI and automation are Pro, unlocked by the trial or a license.
  • One-click GitHub sign-in: connect GitHub by approving a short code in your browser. No more hand-building personal access tokens (pasting one still works).
  • Push code to GitHub: a toolbar button commits the current code block to any repository you can write to, with path and commit message.
  • Drag and drop: images from Finder become image blocks; code and text files become syntax-highlighted code blocks.
  • Chart designer: six chart styles (bar, ranked, line, area, pie, donut), five color palettes, and a value-label toggle on every chart block.
  • Workspace backgrounds: eight gradient presets or your own image, with a legibility slider, under Settings → Appearance.
  • New starter templates: Trading journal (computed P&L and risk per share) and Travel planner (itinerary board with booking links).
  • Template assistants: template-born boards get contextual AI research chips — trip research, meal planning, deal hunting, trade review, pipeline review, invoice chasing — plus one-click links to the right external tools.
  • Clearer GitHub error messages when a saved token expires, with the exact recovery steps.

Mind Marshal 0.1.9

August 13, 2026

  • Important fix: all six starter templates now create their database, columns, and example rows reliably.
  • Choosing a database template from the slash menu now opens its selected preview, instead of showing “0 blocks” and doing nothing.
  • The template library is now identical in the browser preview and installed app, so every starter is tested before release.

Mind Marshal 0.1.8

August 13, 2026

  • Important fix: if you opened your workspace with a newer version and then went back to an older one, the app could refuse to start with no explanation. It now opens normally. Your notes were never at risk, but they were unreachable until you updated again.
  • When a workspace genuinely cannot be opened, Mind Marshal now explains what went wrong and where your notes are, instead of closing silently.
  • Bring your work with you: import an existing workspace from Notion, Obsidian, or Evernote, keeping folder structure, checklists, and tables.
  • Export any page as Markdown, so your writing is always yours to take elsewhere.
  • Page history: every save is snapshotted, and you can look back at earlier versions and restore one.
  • Tables in pages, for laying out comparisons without creating a database.

Mind Marshal 0.1.7

August 12, 2026

  • Links to other websites open in your own default browser instead of inside the workspace.
  • Videos play in a dedicated player window, so a clip never takes over the page you are writing.
  • Windows workspaces open correctly even when your account or folder name contains characters such as # or %.
  • Linux saves signed-in accounts through the desktop keyring rather than a plain file.

Mind Marshal 0.1.6

August 11, 2026

  • YouTube embeds now show the real thumbnail, video title, and channel before playback.
  • The player loads only when clicked, keeping pages faster and calmer while you write.
  • Previews retain Mind Marshal's strict content security policy through a bounded native fetch path.

Mind Marshal 0.1.5

August 10, 2026

  • A guided tour now walks through the sidebar, editor, boards, agents, AI chat, and search. Replay it from Settings.
  • Finishing a project can celebrate with confetti. Choose Off, Subtle, or Full in Settings → Appearance.
  • Workflow agents now write their output onto the card by default, not only into the run history.
  • Update prompts and version display are clearer and more accurate.

Mind Marshal 0.1.3

August 10, 2026

  • One-click update download and restart, with a persistent update pill if dismissed.
  • Project boards show who moved each card and when, with a per-teammate emoji.
  • Settings shows the real build version and the app re-checks for updates while open.
