Glea

Changelog

Every version, and what each one changed.

Newest first. Since 0.15, Glea checks for updates in the background, downloads them on its own and shows a Relaunch to Update pill when one is ready; Glea ▸ Check for Updates… checks now. Each version’s disk image is on GitHub, where the source carries the same history with the engineering detail left in.

Patch

0.17.1 Beta

  • A new journal starts with Glea 101 on the day before today: the few shortcuts and tricks to get going, and a link to the User Guide.
  • An empty All Notes says so, with a button to write your first note.
  • Keys written as <kbd>⌘K</kbd> show as keycaps in your notes.
  • Inline code has rounded corners.

Minor

0.17.0 Beta

  • Find in your notes: ⌘F searches the note you're reading, or every day shown in the journal. It ignores case and accents, highlights each match, and ⌘G / ⇧⌘G go to the next and previous ones. You can keep writing while it's open; closing it puts the cursor on the match.
  • In All Notes, ⌘F goes to the search, which is just a magnifier until you use it. Esc clears it, then closes it.
  • Clicking beside a note in All Notes no longer opens or drags it.
  • Find in Page no longer stops you clicking the page while it's open.
  • Buttons no longer stay highlighted after the page under them changes.

Patch

0.16.4 Beta

  • While an update downloads in the background, Glea ▸ Check for Updates… says so, then that it's preparing it, instead of just being greyed out.

Patch

0.16.3 Beta

  • Websites you allow to know your location now get it: Glea tells macOS why it asks, which macOS needs before it shares your location.

Patch

0.16.2 Beta

  • Settings, in Glea ▸ Settings… (⌘,): its Browser pane has vertical tabs, the search engine, and a switch to open the links in your notes in another browser, which you pick. Pages you browse in Glea still open their links in its tabs.
  • Glea is listed among the web browsers in System Settings ▸ Desktop & Dock ▸ Default web browser.

Patch

0.16.1 Beta

  • Expanding a tab group no longer leaves its tabs looking hovered.

Minor

0.16.0 Beta

  • Vertical tabs, in View ▸ Vertical Tabs: browsing gets a sidebar down the window's left, with the traffic lights, navigation, the tabs and the bar's buttons, the page beside it as a rounded card. Pinned tabs are tiles at its top; drag a tab onto them to pin it. Groups, collapsing and ⌥-dragging a tab onto another to group them work as in the bar. Drag the sidebar's edge to resize it. The notes keep their top bar.
  • Dragging a tab group, its line moves with it, and the other tabs keep their widths.
  • Embeds in notes no longer show in your browsing history.

Patch

0.15.9 Beta

  • Folding opens and closes with its height everywhere, where some only faded: All Notes' last group, a note's last section, long sections, groups and references taller than the window.
  • The chevrons on All Notes' groups are the same grey as a note's.

Patch

0.15.8 Beta

  • Glea Clipper keeps the popup's Into and Open Glea afterwards as you set them, and point and shoot, the context menu and the shortcut follow them: a new note is named after the page. (In Safari with this release; in Chrome and Firefox with Glea Clipper 1.0.2.)

Patch

0.15.7 Beta

  • Glea Clipper no longer says "Collected to Today" after point and shoot: it can't know where the capture went. (In Safari with this release; in Chrome and Firefox with Glea Clipper 1.0.1.)
  • Images linked by their bare name are found in your assets folder, like Obsidian's.
  • The chevrons on All Notes' groups show in the dark theme.

Patch

0.15.6 Beta

  • Point and shoot's spotlight glides from block to block, and a selection lights up as one rounded shape.
  • Text selected inside a page's web components can be collected too.

Patch

0.15.5 Beta

  • Tables too wide for the page scroll sideways (swipe, or Shift and the wheel) instead of running off it, the cell you're editing scrolling into view.
  • While you're in a table, a + on its bottom edge adds a row and one on its right edge adds a column.
  • Tables in quotes and callouts show as tables, and Enter and Tab keep new rows in the quote.
  • A table's grip lines up with its header, like other blocks'.

Patch

0.15.4 Beta

  • Notes stay put as images and embeds load above what you're reading, whether you scrolled there or jumped to a section.
  • Jumping to a section (a link or the table of contents) lands on its heading even while media above it load, and its highlight follows it.
  • Opening another note no longer blanks its videos and embeds a moment before the new note shows.
  • A dropped block glides into its new place without a jump at the end, its image source fading in as it lands.
  • Links in headings keep the heading's size.

Patch

0.15.3 Beta

  • Glea Clipper for Safari comes with Glea: turn it on in Safari ▸ Settings ▸ Extensions to point and shoot in Safari, and collect selections, articles, images and links into Glea.

Patch

0.15.2 Beta

  • Search suggestions come from the search engine you chose (DuckDuckGo, Kagi or Bing have their own), so what you type only goes to that engine.

Patch

0.15.1 Beta

  • "Collected to" and the capture picker stay on the window when it moves.
  • ⌥↩ in the capture picker collects, instead of creating a note with an empty name.

Minor

0.15.0 Beta

  • Automatic updates: Glea checks in the background, downloads new versions on its own, and shows a "Relaunch to Update" pill in the top bar when one is ready. Glea ▸ Check for Updates… checks now.
  • Downloads and source on GitHub: github.com/daformat/glea, and the Glea Clipper browser extensions at github.com/daformat/glea-extensions.
  • Glea is in beta: its version now says so.

Minor

0.14.0 Beta

  • Glea Clipper browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) collect into Glea through glea://capture: point and shoot, selections, articles, images and links.
  • Point and shoot shows on Reddit and leaves icons out of captures.
  • Long notes open faster, styled from the top a part at a time.
  • Smooth window resizing: text, media and the gutter follow as you drag.
  • Long sections open visibly; images in list items get room below them.
  • A styled installer disk image.

Minor

0.13.0 Beta

  • PDFs in notes like any other media, in a native viewer that scrolls once clicked and hands the scroll back to the note at its ends.
  • Resize images, videos and PDFs by dragging a handle; the width is saved in the note's Markdown.
  • Clickable links and foldable "N more" in linked and unlinked references, with properly indented list items.
  • Source available under the PolyForm Strict License.

Patch

0.12.2 Beta

  • A + button in the top bar makes a new note.
  • Link buttons for unlinked references sit on each note's title line and show while hovering the whole block; linked references sort A to Z.
  • Hover highlights no longer stay stuck when the page scrolls.

Patch

0.12.1 Beta

  • The page stays put when a line turns into a heading near its edge.
  • The table of contents rubber-bands; All Notes fades under its top edge.

Minor

0.12.0 Beta

  • Note groups: drag notes onto each other in All Notes to group them, with collapsing, renaming, undo and a table of contents for the groups.
  • More blocks in the slash menu: callouts, math, media files, web embeds and embedded notes.
  • All Notes on ⇧⌘H, and fixes to callouts, the cursor and inline code.

Patch

0.11.1 Beta

  • Math source is syntax colored while it's being edited.
  • The notes list has room at its bottom, and its checkboxes no longer stay after scrolling.

Minor

0.11.0 Beta

  • Obsidian compatibility: links to headings and blocks, ![[embeds]] of files and notes (rendered in place), frontmatter properties, aliases and tags, #tags, ==highlights==, %%comments%% and callouts. The link menu completes headings and blocks, and # completes tags.

Patch

0.10.1 Beta

  • Long formulas fit the column: blocks break into lines at their operators, inline formulas wrap with the text, and both re-fit as the window resizes.

Minor

0.10.0 Beta

  • Math in notes: $…$ and $$…$$ LaTeX, typeset as you write. Click a formula to edit its source where you clicked; \ offers LaTeX commands, Tab moves between their arguments.

Patch

0.9.1 Beta

  • ⌘↩ searches the web for the word at the cursor or the selection (⌥⌘↩: the sentence) and links the searched text to the search.
  • Switching between the web and the notes keeps the cursor where it was.
  • Typing is fast again on long notes.
  • No white line around web pages in light mode; the active tab stands out more.

Minor

0.9.0 Beta

  • Folding sections and expanding, collapsing or loading embeds and images animate smoothly, however long the note.
  • Tables wrap to fit and are edited in place; a toggle on hover switches a table to Markdown and back.
  • Reference previews render Markdown.
  • Embeds near the screen load first and no longer take the focus.
  • Selected embeds and images show the selection.
  • Yesterday's summary can be closed.
  • Faster rendering of long notes, and crash fixes.

Minor

0.8.0 Beta

  • Point and shoot collects YouTube videos and X, Bluesky and Instagram posts as embeds, on those sites and on pages that embed them. Hold ⌥⌘ to collect their text instead.
  • The Collected toast links to the note, stays longer, and stays while hovered.
  • Fixes crashes when clicking links in notes.

Patch

0.7.4 Beta

  • Daily summary: today's journal recaps what you worked on and read on your last active day, and suggests where to pick up.
  • Typing [[ in a note opens a menu of notes to link to, styled like the slash menu, with an option to link to a new note.

Patch

0.7.3 Beta

  • The journal's table of contents keeps Today on top, with earlier days and their headings nested one level below.
  • The table of contents' dashes keep their size while a long note scrolls.

Patch

0.7.2 Beta

  • Unlinked references: under a note's backlinks, the places where its name appears as plain text, with Link and Link All buttons.
  • Point and shoot targets and hugs page content with new, faster heuristics (text runs, media, scroll containers, web components).
  • Refreshed tab group colors and top bar grays.
