Release Notes

A running log of what's new, improved, and fixed in WriteDown.

Version 1.2.5

  • Check for Updates — WriteDown now checks for a newer version on launch. If an update is available, a small notification appears in the bottom-left corner with the version number and a Download button that opens the latest installer in your browser. Dismiss it at any time.

Version 1.2

  • Default Open Mode setting — Choose whether files open in Edit or View mode. Find it in Settings (gear icon) under Default Open Mode. Your preference is saved automatically.
  • Icon toolbar — The formatting toolbar now uses icons in place of text labels across all buttons: heading levels, bold, italic, code, blockquote, list, and the Edit/View toggle. Hover any button to see its name in a tooltip.
