## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.12 — 2026-08-20

MD Flow now opens with a small folder of examples, so there is something to read before you connect a folder of your own. Each one shows something the app understands — callouts, tables, math, diagrams, an email draft, and a prompt you can hand to your AI so its output arrives as files worth keeping.

Email drafts now arrive the way you wrote them. Tables keep their columns, paragraphs keep their spacing, and the subject no longer goes missing in the Gmail app. When a draft carries formatting a compose link cannot hold, MD Flow offers the formatted version on your clipboard so one paste restores it. (Pro)

Also fixed: a draft quoting the email conventions could delete part of itself before sending. Buy and Restore now say what happened instead of appearing to do nothing.

### 1.11 — 2026-08-15

New in Pro: turn a Markdown file into an email. Give a file a "to:" line in its frontmatter and MD Flow recognises it as a draft — subject and recipients appear above the document, and one tap opens it fully written in Mail, Gmail or Outlook. Anything you marked as a private note stays behind.

Free this release: rename files and move them to the Trash without leaving MD Flow. A new guide explains the conventions the app understands, ready to hand to whichever AI writes your files.

Also fixed: long frontmatter values no longer get cut off at the top of a document.

### 1.10 — 2026-08-10

New in Pro: search inside your documents. MD Flow now looks through the text of your files, not just their names — so a phrase you wrote months ago leads you straight to the document, with the matching line and its number shown right in the results.

Free search now shows you when a match exists inside a file, instead of simply reporting nothing found.

Also fixed: expanding folders now works when you are inside a subfolder, and results no longer lag a step behind what you typed.

### 1.9 — 2026-08-05

MD Flow now speaks your language: the entire app is available in Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Simplified Chinese.

Also new: a Privacy section in Settings — optional, fully anonymous usage statistics help us learn which features matter most. Never your files, never your identity, and you can switch it off anytime.

Plus small fixes and under-the-hood improvements.

### 1.8 — 2026-07-28

New in 1.8: your documents render even more.

• Math with KaTeX — inline and display equations render beautifully.
• Callouts — note, tip, important, warning and caution blocks, with full Markdown inside.
• Frontmatter — YAML metadata appears as a tidy header instead of raw text (toggle it in Settings).

All free in the preview — and with MD Flow Pro, everything carries over to PDF export: math, callouts and the frontmatter header survive the page.
