MarkDW Changelog

v0.2.0 — September 2026

A UI revamp: a persistent toolbar, a collapsible sidebar, and two built-in designs.

The toolbar (View/Split/Edit, Save, Export) is now always visible, disabled until a file is open, instead of only appearing once you open one
The file sidebar can be collapsed to a slim icon rail and expanded again
Two built-in designs — Harbor (default, teal on navy) and Sage (warm gold on charcoal green) — each with its own light and dark mode, switched from a sidebar icon and remembered locally

Renamed from Marker to MarkDW, with new clipboard, export and About features.

Renamed the product from Marker to MarkDW, including the app icon, window title and installer names
New from Clipboard: paste text from the system clipboard directly into a new, unsaved document
Export ▾ menu: export the current document as a self-contained HTML file, as PDF via the browser's print dialog, or as plain text
An always-visible Save button in the toolbar, alongside Ctrl/Cmd+S
An About dialog (ⓘ icon) showing the current version and a plain-language explainer of what the desktop and web builds each do with your data
Desktop: HTML and plain-text exports now go through the native save dialog instead of a browser-style blob download
