What's New in Cloister Ink

1.0.4

August 1, 2026

Ask no longer locks up when you send it a long selection. The word count it shows is now worked out once instead of on every keystroke, and highlighting a very large passage stays responsive. Apple's Writing Tools now has a switch of its own in Settings, and it is off until you turn it on. Before this, turning on spell check, or simply moving to the Revise pass, quietly turned Apple Intelligence on with it. Nothing about Writing Tools is required to write in Cloister Ink, and the switch is now the only thing that governs it. A new Your Vault page in Help explains where your writing actually lives, on this device and in iCloud, and how to move a file between the two. The Markdown Playbook now sits alongside the Format pass, where you are most likely to want it.
