Seed · Release notes
2.0.0
Jul 2026
Notes open in place, status becomes a sort, and every note keeps its history.
New
·Notes open in place. A note expands right where it sits in the list and collapses back when you close it. The editor keeps one compact size at every length; the open note carries a faint wash of its own stage color.
·Version history. Open a note’s own history from the word count, see how it grew over time, read any past version, and revert to one with a single click (undo with ⌘Z).
·Compost. One quiet place for finished notes: Pruned on top, the ones you might want back, and Harvested below, the ones that graduated onward. A harvested note says where it went.
·Transplant to a Draught project. Grow a note into its own writing project — a folder with its own history, the note as the first draft, opened in Draught.
·Garden Backup. Point a garden at a folder and Seed keeps one complete, safe copy of everything, backing up automatically whenever that folder is connected.
Improved
·Status is a sort. The stage-pill row is gone. Choose Status in the sort menu and the list groups by stage in lifecycle order, Dormant sinking to the bottom.
·Editor polish. The writing area fills the whole card, the word count counts your writing rather than file details, and a fresh note reads as a Sprout again.
1.0.2
Jun 2026
Easier to navigate, safer to trust.
New
·Recent gardens. File ▸ Open Garden now lists the gardens you’ve used recently, so switching is one click.
·Tidier New menu. New ▸ New Seed / New Garden, with Open and Close Garden grouped just below.
Fixed
·Safer saves. Under-the-hood fixes keep edits from being lost when notes reload, or when a pruned note is restored.
1.0.1
Jun 2026
Runs anywhere, no setup.
Fixed
·No developer tools needed. Garden history now works on any Mac out of the box, with no command-line tools to install.

Welcome to Seed.
New
·Search-first capture. The search bar is the app: type to find a note, or press ⏎ to plant a new one with what you typed.
·Living categories. Seeds sort themselves into Sprout, Growing, Rooted, Wilting, and Dormant, each with its own colour, based on how you tend them.
·Transplant anywhere. Send notes to an Espalier board, or export them as TXT, Markdown, or Word (.docx).
·Your files, your folder. Notes are plain text files in a garden folder you choose. Open them in any editor, anytime.
