← Inode 08 Releases

Changelog

What changed, release by release. The app updates itself; the stable download always serves the newest build.

v0.9.2 July 22, 2026 latest
  • The app icon is now drawn from a vector master, so it stays sharp at every size.
v0.9.1 July 21, 2026
  • A brand-new app icon.
v0.9.0 July 17, 2026
  • Type-to-filter matches all words: type "pdf 39" and the list narrows to names that contain both, in any order. Space extends the filter while you compose it, and a caret in the filter label shows that you are still typing.
v0.8.0
  • Choose your list columns: the header's context menu adds created, last-opened, and added dates, kind, extension, and tags. Each pane remembers visibility, order, and width, and every column sorts.
  • Send files via Mail straight from the context menu.
  • Undo is sturdier: undoing an operation that overwrote a file restores the overwritten version from the Trash, and a failed undo stays in history so you can try again.
  • A "Launch at login" toggle in Settings → General.
  • Inode checks for updates quietly at launch instead of interrupting you.
v0.7.0
  • Connections support passwords — save one to the Keychain, or type it when you connect.
  • Keyboard defaults match Finder: renames, O or opens, moves to the Trash.
  • Prefer the classic keys? F2, F7, and F8 still work, and every shortcut can be changed in the config.
v0.6.0
  • Add your own SFTP, WebDAV, FTP, SMB, or rclone servers in Settings → Connections, with no SSH config required.
  • Every server appears in the sidebar: click to connect, eject to end a live session.
  • Test a connection before you save it, and point SFTP at a specific private key.
  • The ~/.ssh/config importer follows OpenSSH semantics — Include files and variable expansion land the way ssh reads them.
v0.5.0
  • Connect to servers with K — SFTP hosts straight from your SSH config, plus WebDAV, FTP, and SMB shares.
  • Copy to and from servers with F5, create folders, rename, and delete — with progress and conflict choices.
  • Choose Inode's theme in Settings → Appearance: same as the system, or always light or dark.
  • After an update, Inode shows what changed.
v0.4.6
  • Ask Inode's availability and error messages are now localized (English and German), and explanations for unsupported requests arrive in the language you asked in.
v0.4.5
  • A command-line companion: Settings → General installs the inode command. inode <path> opens a location in the app, with flags for the Shelf, panes, and the visor; inode:// links do the same from other apps, restricted to three vetted commands.
  • A plain-language pass over dialogs, tour steps, and settings — English and German; Ask Inode's availability and error messages followed in v0.4.6.
v0.4.4
  • Filter the sidebar as you type (F): matching groups keep their children, activates the first match, moves into the list.
  • First launch opens a window sized to your screen instead of a small fixed frame.
v0.4.3
  • Privacy: error reporting is now off by default. Opt in under Settings → General → Privacy, where a footnote spells out exactly what a report carries.
  • Safer file operations: a failed or cancelled extraction into a new folder leaves no partial destination, merges refuse conflicts up front, and when a cross-volume move fails while cleaning up the source, the completed copy at the destination stays put.
  • Content search stays responsive: search helpers are time-boxed and cancellable, and partial results survive a timeout.
v0.4.2
  • Removable volumes get an inline eject button in the sidebar, matching Finder.
  • The disk-usage treemap hides dotfiles by default; a header toggle brings them back without a rescan.
  • Enabling Finder Windows in the sidebar without automation permission now explains itself and offers the jump to Privacy & Security, instead of silently doing nothing.
v0.4.1
  • Launch no longer hangs while macOS is slow to answer keychain requests.
  • Folders get a preview too: select one in Preview Mode for a disk-usage treemap — switch between size and file count, and click a directory tile to descend.
v0.4
  • Settings rebuilt in the native macOS idiom: General, Appearance, Terminal, and About tabs. Changes apply immediately, and hand edits to config.jsonc fold in live.
  • Visor fixes for multi-monitor setups: the slide stays on its own screen, and closing the visor leaves other Inode windows alone.
  • Inode registers as a Finder "Open With" target for files and folders.
  • One-time upgrade note: Inode joined the river42 app family under a new bundle identity, so v0.2/v0.3 installs update by downloading once from inode.pro — then re-grant Full Disk Access and re-enter your license key. Updates flow automatically again afterwards.
v0.3
  • Preview & Edit Mode (P): the inactive pane becomes a live preview of the selection — and text files are editable right there, saved through the same undo-friendly queue. Unsaved edits are rescued, never lost.
  • A real search bar behind F: scopes from This Folder to This Volume to Everywhere, content terms, kind/date/size chips, saved searches. Results open in a split below the browse view.
  • Ask Inode can search now: "find reports edited this week" fills the criteria and runs it.
  • A Finder-grade "Open With" submenu for any selection.
  • Pin Inode on top while you work in another app, and jump back with the Recent Folders picker.
  • Install via Homebrew: brew install --cask river42-com/tap/inode.
  • Licensing: every purchase includes a year of updates, and the versions you install keep working forever.
v0.2.1
  • A first-launch "Welcome to Inode" tour of the essentials, with Full Disk Access guidance where macOS needs it.
  • German localization for the core UI.
  • The 14-day trial is enforced properly, and keys for other river42 apps no longer unlock Inode.
  • The keyboard-shortcuts window opens at a sensible size.
v0.2
  • First public build: dual panes with tabs, breadcrumb path bar, list and icon views, Quick Look, session restore.
  • Ask Inode (Space) — plain-language selections, filters, and file operations, parsed on device by Apple Intelligence.
  • Smart sidebar: working directories of running agents, editors, shells, and tmux sessions; Finder windows; Recents; a Shelf for collecting file references.
  • Go Anywhere (G) and a command palette (P) that reaches every action.
  • Robust file operations — APFS clones, real progress, per-item conflicts, a queue, and Z undo across moves, renames, trash, copies, and archives.
  • Git status badges, archives browsable as folders, embedded terminal, batch rename, compare & sync, recursive search, visor mode, optional vim keys, JSONC config with live reload.
  • Sparkle auto-updates with signed appcast.
