MeatPad is free, notarized and local-first: plain files on your disk, no account, no sync engine, no telemetry. Versions below are ordered newest first.

0.12.0

  • Card labels. Colour-coded labels on board cards, with a filter that narrows the board as you type.
  • Line breaks in a card. Shift+Return and Option+Return now add a line break in the add-card field and in a card's notes. Return still files the card, so one typed entry can carry a title and its detail.

0.11.0

  • Card actions. A menu on every card and on right-click: due dates, notes, unlink, delete.
  • Paste a list, get cards. A pasted list offers to become one card per item, numbered or bulleted, in any language.
  • Summarise into a title. Long notes can be turned into a short card title by the on-device model. Nothing leaves the Mac.
  • Faster with big files. Syntax parsing moved off the main thread and highlighting is computed for the visible lines only.

  • Boards. A kanban board inside the notes window: cards edit in place, notes fold away, due dates sit on the card, columns carry emoji. A card can link to the note it came from.
  • Focus rings are drawn only when assistive technology is running.
  • Due dates in notifications follow your locale's format.
