Cloud-Safe Vaults and Faster Startup
massCode now opens large Markdown Vaults from a metadata index and loads item bodies only when needed, so Code, Notes, and HTTP lists become available much sooner after launch.
Vault files offloaded by iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox remain visible while their content downloads in the background. The space rail shows overall progress, opening an item prioritizes it, pending HTTP requests are clearly marked, and massCode avoids writing over content that is still in the cloud. Vault Doctor can also detect index inconsistencies and managed Notes asset issues.
Folder Icons
Code, Notes, and HTTP folders can now use searchable emoji, built-in Material or Lucide icons, or uploaded JPG and PNG images. Uploaded icons are resized and stored with the folder so they follow the vault across backups and sync services.
Notes Workflow
Notes can now be duplicated from the list context menu or Command Palette, fenced code blocks have a one-click copy control, and an editor preference can wrap long table cells. Newly pasted or dropped note images are stored in the managed notes/.masscode/assets directory, with referenced legacy assets migrated automatically.
Line Break Normalization
Code and Notes can normalize hard-wrapped terminal text from the Editor menu while preserving Markdown lists, tables, quotes, commands, and code blocks. The same Line Break Normalizer is available as a standalone converter in Tools.
macOS Dock Counter
The macOS Dock icon can show the number of items in the Code Inbox, items in the Notes Inbox, or tasks due today. The counter source is configurable in Appearance settings and can be disabled at any time.
