@Published fires even when the assigned value is unchanged, so the poll's
unconditional lastError = nil invalidated PanelView — which observes
SyncService — every 5 seconds, forever, hidden or visible. Over five days
that was ~185 CPU-minutes and ~190 MB, and clicks started to lag.
- Route poll state through setError, which skips equal values.
- Watch SyncService from a tiny SyncDot view instead of the panel body.
- Skip the URL cache on polls and give them timeouts.
- Only reassign the composer placeholder when it changed.
Editing a prompt opened a separate floating window that ignored the
panel's theme; it is now an in-panel modal that matches. A Workspace/All
segmented tab above the list shows every prompt labeled with its
workspace, so the whole library is browsable without typing a search.
Long prompts hit a single-line field before; the composer is now an
NSTextView that wraps and grows up to seven lines, keeps Return as send,
and uses Shift+Return for a newline. Launch at Login already existed in
the menu bar icon's right-click menu, so it is now also a toggle in the
sync panel where it is easier to find.
The selection bar covered copying but not the other action people reach
for with a selection. The header also carried a second close button next
to the window's own traffic light, so it was removed in favor of that.
The panel is a full-height strip that sits beside your work, where the
system grey reads as a half-lit window next to a dark editor. Dark mode
is now pure black, with card and row colours in one Theme file so both
the panel background and the strip under the titlebar match.
Copying was a side effect of a click, which made it impossible to build
a selection with the mouse and surprising when the intent was to pick
something up rather than copy it immediately. A click now selects (or
deselects), and copying is an explicit action from the selection bar or
the right-click menu.
The checkbox was marking items done, but the intent was to gather items
and act on them: tick several, then right-click to copy, copy as a list,
move, merge or delete them all at once. Done is still available from the
same menu, it is just no longer what the checkbox does.
Pasting still failed because the panel is a nonactivating panel: it can
be key while the app is not active, and menu key equivalents are not
delivered reliably in that state. Cmd+V is now dispatched to the
responder chain directly, and the app no longer replaces SwiftUI's main
menu — it only adds Hide Panel to it, so the Edit items that AppKit
routes text shortcuts through stay intact.
Rows also gained a checkbox so a workspace works as a checklist without
turning the row into a button, which would swallow the checkbox's clicks.
Replacing the main menu dropped the Edit menu that AppKit routes
Cmd+V/C/A/Z through, so the composer could not paste at all. The menu is
rebuilt with those items, which --diag now dumps so the wiring can be
checked without a keyboard.
Workspaces also gained an order: the Cmd+K switcher has up/down controls,
creating one opens a naming modal instead of prefilling the composer, and
the UI now says workspace throughout. The stored JSON keeps the original
`sections` keys so existing data and sync payloads stay valid.
Copying several notes only produced a numbered list, which is wrong for
pasting into a prompt that already has structure. The selection now
offers both forms, Shift+click selects a range, and a selection bar
makes it obvious that more than one note is selected. Esc clears the
selection before it hides the panel.
Without it the Shift-Shift gestures fail silently, so hiding the panel
left no way to bring it back and the app looked broken. The app now says
so on launch and points at Cmd+Shift+Space, which needs no permission,
and --diag reports the permission state alongside the status item's
placement so a lockout can be diagnosed instead of guessed at.
Closing the panel only hid it, and launching the app again did nothing
because the running instance ignored the reopen, so it looked like the
app refused to exit. Reopening now shows the panel, and the main menu
makes Cmd+Q and Cmd+W work while the panel has focus. Termination also
tears down the event tap, hotkeys and sync timers instead of leaving
them live.
A Postgres URL without an sslmode made lib/pq ask for TLS and die with
"SSL is not enabled on the server", which reads like a server fault when
it is really a connection-string default. The error now says what to
append, and the server retries briefly so a deploy is not marked
unhealthy just because Postgres was still starting.
The sync server URL also defaults to the hosted instance now, so a fresh
install needs no setup.
Polling re-downloaded the whole store, photos included, every five
seconds. The app now checks a tiny version endpoint and only fetches the
payload when it actually moved, and the server gained request logging,
graceful shutdown, and self-hosting docs so it can run on a VPS instead
of only on localhost.

Cmd+, is where macOS users look for settings, and it makes the sync
panel reachable without hunting for the header icon.

Notes and photos were stuck on one machine. A small Go/Postgres backend
stores each group's payload under a code that doubles as the shared
secret, so a second Mac just needs the code — no account or login.
Applying a remote change must not push it straight back, otherwise the
two Macs would bump the version back and forth forever, so payloads are
fingerprinted and identical ones are skipped.

The app has no Dock icon and the menu bar icon is easy to miss on a
full bar, so a fresh launch looked like nothing happened.

Keeps text prompts and photos in a floating always-on-top panel and
copies them back to the clipboard on click. Double-Shift captures the
selection from any app; sections, search, copy-as-list, merge, and
local JSON persistence mirror shadcn's Copper workflow.
