What's new

Release notes for Talkivelle, newest first.

Last updated

Version 1.0.2

This release adds search, folders, a Recycle Bin, backups, password protection, a Markdown preview and background (tray) mode. It also fixes several bugs and hardens the installed app.

  • Find in a note (Ctrl+F / Ctrl+H): a compact box over the editor with previous/next, a “3 of 12” count, match case, whole word, regular expressions and an optional replace row.
  • Search box in the sidebar: searches note names and note text as you type.
  • Search in notes (Ctrl+Shift+F): search the current note, open notes, all notes or one folder, with results grouped by note.
  • Replace in notes (Ctrl+Shift+H): previews every change, replaces them all at once, and offers Undo.

Organising notes

  • Folders in My notes. Move notes by dragging or with Move to folder.
  • Recycle Bin: search, filter, sort, restore or delete for good. Items are removed after 90 days.
  • Backup and restore: save every note and folder as a .zip of plain text files. Restoring never overwrites anything.

Privacy and security

  • App lock: an optional password every time Talkivelle opens. Ctrl+L locks it at once, and notifications stay private while it is locked.
  • Password-protected notes: stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM).
  • Forgotten passwords can’t be recovered by anyone.

Markdown preview

  • Edit, Split and Preview views for .md notes (Ctrl+Shift+V), with headings, lists, task lists, tables, quotes and code blocks.

Running in the background

  • Closing the window keeps Talkivelle in the system tray, so messages and calls still arrive. Choose to start it when you sign in.

Look and feel

  • New Talkivelle branding in light and dark themes, and a new About page.

Fixes

  • Selected text in the editor is highlighted again.
  • The language list is readable in dark mode.
  • Protecting a note with a password now also removes earlier unencrypted copies from disk.
  • Data from a newer version is refused cleanly.

Security hardening

  • The installed app ships compiled, refuses to start if its package was modified, and can’t be started in debugging mode.

Upgrading

Run the new installer over your current version. Your notes, chats and settings are kept. If a version needs to change the database, it saves a full copy first.

Known limitations

  • Markdown preview shows internet images as their description, since Talkivelle works offline.
  • Locked notes aren’t searched until you open them with their password.
