Is an auto-save option on the future features list?

If not, I’d like to suggest that it be added. ;->

Bike already auto-saves your documents using the standard macOS mechanism.There’s some discussion here:

Great release, bought the app yesterday to support the project and it works smoothly and looks fantastic. Great work, I already see I will be using this a lot. After extensive testing yesterday, I find the simplicity of the app is part of it’s power. However, I see that the following features would be important for the next releases. Key missing features: Autosave function (this is absolutely key, to avoid lost work); When on fullscreen, allow for indentation/centre text block/word wrappi…

Please let me know if you have questions or suggestions, but I think this feature is already supported.

Thanks, Jesse. Guess I’m so used to frequently hitting Command-S I didn’t realize it was autosaving…

The UI (again this is all macOS standard behavior is definitely weird. The autosave will happen, but the window will continue to indicate as “Edited”). The “Edited” state only goes away when you manually save.

Thanks — helps explain my confusion.

It’s weird, but there’s some logic to it. Up to the moment you choose manual Save, you have the option to Revert to Last Opened on the File menu.
