Every release
First release

What changed

  • A native macOS block editor built on Rust, Tauri, and TipTap, over plain .md files with optional YAML frontmatter.
  • Smart blocks: diagrams, charts, math, and live calculation, all round-tripping to markdown.
  • Tables with spreadsheet formulas, wiki-links and backlinks, tags, and templates.
  • Bring-your-own-key AI across Claude, OpenAI, Apple Intelligence, local models via Ollama, and CLI agents — plus agent mode with file attachments.
  • Export to PDF, Word, HTML, and Markdown.
  • Per-vault version history with restore, and per-note encryption unlockable with Touch ID.
  • Vault-wide search, a command palette, quick capture, a menu-bar tray, and customizable shortcuts.
  • Import from Obsidian, Notion, Word, and any folder of markdown.
  • Signed, notarized builds with a silent background auto-updater.

Ampersand updates itself in place, so you are probably already on a newer build than this one. If you are installing fresh, the download page always has the current release for macOS, Windows and Linux.
