Lots happening in this release.

Still rough spots, but provide feedback like it’s an app to be released soon…ish. Always the ish.

License system! Yeah!??? Ok, not the most exciting part of app, but hope I can entice some of you to WREARLYBIRD through and keep track of how it goes. There’s also Start Free Trial to test.

I’m still using Paddle for payment processing, but there license key system is deprecated so I had to build my own. It seems to be in pretty good shape, but watch for and report any oddities please.


Writing goals and counts. I’m pretty happy with how this has worked out. Much flexibility in a very tiny UI and display. Hopefully it works for what you need.


Markdown structural Edit > Move commands. Give them a try and let me know what you think and report back with problems. Escape hatch is to add Control key to the keybinding sequence and then you’ll be moving raw lines, ignoring Markdown structure. In a plain text document both variants move raw lines.

Thanks, appears to be a macOS 26 difference. Works on 27 for me, but crashes in my macOS 26 virtual machine. Good news! Hope to get a fix out soon.
