changelog

macOS — July 29, 2026

Mermaid diagrams now render reliably (they could get stuck as a placeholder) and follow dark mode; charts follow dark mode too, and axis labels no longer clip.
Browse by tag: click any #tag — in a note or the tag sidebar — and every note carrying it lists right in the editor area, live as you tag.
Raw markdown one click away: the eye in the breadcrumb row (or ⇧⌘V) flips a note to its plain source and back.
Choose the writing mode new windows open in — Standard, Focus, Typewriter, or remember the last.
Seamless live switching between light and dark mode, and a crash opening a second vault window fixed.

macOS — July 27, 2026

Version history: every save is kept, on your Mac. Browse a timeline per note or for the whole vault, see exactly what changed, and restore any version — no git knowledge needed, no server, no account.
Edits are attributed: you, agents, and changes made outside wander (git pulls, other apps) each show as themselves in the timeline. If your vault is its own git repo, your real commits join the timeline with their authors.
Name a version: click it in the timeline, hit the pencil, type a name — "before the rewrite" beats "autosave 14:32".
On GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket? Version details link straight to commits, blame, and pull requests, and copy permanent links to a note at an exact version.
Sync history between your Macs through the folder you already sync (iCloud Drive, Dropbox) — no account; turn it on in the History panel's Settings tab.
Mermaid diagrams render right in your notes — offline, editable, still plain text.
Zoom the editor with ⌘+ / ⌘− / ⌘0, install the wander Terminal command from Settings, and make wander your default markdown app in one click.
Clearer windows: Open Folder… and Open File… are separate commands, and any note or folder opens in its own window from the sidebar.
Faster everywhere: huge vaults open and save without full re-scans, switching back to wander is instant, and the panels got one consistent, larger, calmer design.

macOS — July 26, 2026

The floating note window, done right: freely resizable down to a sticky note, chrome that fades in on hover, the title always in the same place.
Single-file windows: aligned breadcrumb, and the right panel opens at a sane width.
Settings decluttered; the editor content starts closer to the top.

macOS — July 24, 2026 · iOS — July 27, 2026

Comments: select any text and leave a comment — threads anchored right to the words, in a panel beside your note. On iPhone and iPad, tap a comment dot to open just that thread.
Reply, resolve, and reopen threads; react with emoji.
Margin dots mark the blocks that have comments — toggle them in Settings; always hidden in Focus and Typewriter modes.
Your comments live in a hidden .wander folder next to your notes — plain files that travel with your vault over iCloud, Dropbox, or git. Your markdown stays byte for byte the same.
No account, no server: comments follow wherever your folder already syncs, and each device keeps its own log, so nothing ever conflicts.

macOS + iOS — July 22, 2026

Search your notes: ⌘K on Mac, the search button on iOS — note titles and full text, with results as you type. Recently opened notes surface first.
Backlinks: see every note that links to the one you're reading.
Finder tags: tags you've set on files in Finder or the Files app now show up in wander, joined with your notes' #tags. Read-only — wander never writes tags without asking.
iCloud notes that aren't downloaded to your device no longer disappear from folders — they show a Finder-style download pie and fetch automatically when you open the folder.
Columns view: browse folders Finder-style with a new columns layout (Mac).
Open a note in its own small floating window (Mac).
Fixed: sidebar file names no longer clip at larger text sizes (iOS), and the block drag handle no longer lingers while you're typing.

macOS — July 18, 2026 · iOS — July 20, 2026

wander comes to iPhone and iPad — the full editor, now on iOS.
Tables now span the full width of the page, matching code blocks.
Consistent, subtle rounded corners across tables, code blocks, menus, and popups.
Obsidian block anchors (^id) tuck into a small marker instead of cluttering your text — click one to edit the raw id.
Right-click any block to copy its link, duplicate it, or delete it.
Polish and stability improvements.

macOS — July 17, 2026 · first release, a local-first markdown editor.

WYSIWYG editing — what you type is what lands on disk, clean plain markdown, byte for byte.
Open any folder or file — works with your existing markdown / Obsidian-style vaults.
Wikilinks, tables, code blocks, task lists, and footnotes.
Fully offline — no account, no cloud, nothing locked in.
