Release Notes

Improvements

• Flywrite now runs on Intel-based Macs as well as Apple Silicon — the app ships as a single universal build

Improvements

• The Help menu now has quick links to Documentation, Release Notes, and Get Support
• The Help menu links straight to managing your license — or activating one if you haven't yet
• The welcome screen now shows the Flywrite icon
• The About window shows the icon at full size, links to the release notes, and no longer has extra empty space at the bottom

Fixes

• The app icon now matches the standard macOS icon size and shape, so it no longer looks oversized in the Dock and Cmd-Tab app switcher

Flywrite's first release with a public changelog! Flywrite is a local-first writing environment for content creators: select text in your document, talk to Claude Code in the built-in terminal, and the agent edits your files while you review what changed. Projects are plain folders of markdown on your Mac — with automatic checkpoints, one-click restore of earlier versions, optional GitHub sync between Macs, rebindable shortcuts, themes, and per-file display settings.

New features

• Updating is now one click — Flywrite restarts right away, or if an agent is still working in a terminal, the update installs itself as soon as everything goes idle
• Switch between terminal tabs with Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab — the same shortcuts you already use for file tabs
• Create a new file straight from the tab bar with the new + button

Improvements

• An editor command and a terminal command can now share the same keyboard shortcut — whichever pane has keyboard focus decides which one runs
• The tab bars now highlight which pane your shared shortcuts will act on
• New-terminal shortcuts no longer fire while you're typing outside the terminal
• A larger set of project colors to pick from, arranged as a spectrum

Licensing, activation, and auto-update support.
