  • Team collaboration beta: join, create, test, and leave a shared workspace.
  • The opened-task sheet is redesigned, and one task can carry several source mails.

Notepad threads, calendar links, and Today refinements

  • The Notepad is redesigned around threads, and quick capture can file directly into a thread.
  • Tasks and mail can link to calendar events.
  • Mail row selection is reliable.
  • Today uses the full window width, gains subtle motion, and drops the duplicate work clock pill.

0.6.2July 29, 2026

Today space, attachment safety, and a high-contrast theme

  • A new Today space with a work clock collects everything that needs attention now.
  • Attachment downloads are quarantined and program files are refused by both content and filename extension, with an open policy covering origins, link files, and localization.
  • Added a high-contrast theme plus accent and priority colour pickers.
  • Triage training was reworked around No Action, Spam, Skip, and a Set Aside scope.
  • The Files space is split into library, tiles, and inspector views.
  • Tasks support flexible deadline reminders, and per-event reminder overrides can be edited from the calendar.
  • Message text is derived locally instead of trusting server conversion, and update feed links are restricted to HTTPS.
  • Task Select All is reliable, and sync and tagging status moved into the rail footer.

Smarter assistant answers, Notepad backlinks, and consistent typography

  • The assistant can answer questions about whole threads, verdicts, and follow-ups, and ranks mail search results by relevance instead of just recency.
  • The Notepad gains note shorthand, backlinks, and a status column; unfinished items carry forward and can link to tasks, and deleted bullets no longer resurface.
  • A new type scale, glyph scale, and text-size setting bring consistent typography to every view, with refreshed header and rail chrome.
  • Mail account and intelligence settings are now separate panes, and folder mirroring follows the server structure more faithfully.
  • Check for Updates recovers cleanly from a failed update, and the in-app updater and its release-notes view were reworked.
  • Partial Microsoft Graph move failures are reported instead of losing messages, keyboard focus stays out of open tasks and modal overlays, and runtime-built labels are localized.
0.6.0July 24, 2026
Download

Mailbox folders, automatic filing, and safer AI processing

  • Mailbox folders now appear in the sidebar under Mail, mirroring the folder tree you see in Outlook, each with its own message count.
  • Move mail by dragging it onto a sidebar folder or with the new Move to Folder command; moves happen on the server, so Outlook and other devices see them too.
  • Create folders in the app; deleting is only possible while a folder is completely empty and always goes through Deleted Items so it stays recoverable.
  • Tag rules can file mail automatically: map a tag to a folder in Settings, and confidently tagged inbox mail moves there on its own, with a folder activity log and one-click undo.
  • Triage can be narrowed to a single folder, and a whole folder can be settled at once as tasks or as spam.
  • Opening a message shows placeholder lines while content loads, and moving between messages is noticeably faster.
  • Mail analysed by the assistant is hardened against instructions hidden inside crafted emails, and Settings asks for confirmation before an external AI endpoint receives mail content.
  • Added English and German localization.
0.5.0July 21, 2026
Download

New pearl identity, one-click local models, and reliability

  • Introduced the new pearl identity across the sidebar, launch screen, quick capture, and a redesigned onboarding welcome; the mark animates while sync or AI work runs.
  • Rebuilt the app icons from the new tile artwork, with Amber as the default style.
  • Simplified local intelligence setup to a single card: one Download fetches the chat and embedding models with combined progress, and Remove frees both.
  • Added sync health monitoring, a local mutation queue, and automatic database backups.
  • App termination now waits for pending persistence and local-model shutdown with a bounded fail-safe.
  • Chat mail cards open their message directly instead of relying on the mail list window.
0.4.1July 17, 2026
Download

Reliable Exchange authentication fallback

  • Restores Exchange sign-in in Automatic mode when a server rejects Negotiate and falls back to NTLM, while keeping failed-password retries safely bounded.
0.4.0July 17, 2026
Download

Reliable Exchange sign-in and clean system typography

  • Fixed clean-install validation on managed Macs by removing the bundled Geist Mono font and using macOS system typography throughout.
  • Improved Exchange sign-in reliability across load-balanced Basic, NTLM, and Negotiate frontends while limiting each request to one credential attempt.
  • Added advanced connection controls and an offline demo path directly to onboarding.
  • Added recipient suggestions, clearer reply-template placeholders, and richer new-message composition.
  • Rendered structured assistant replies more clearly and kept assistant controls stable as the window resizes.
  • Expanded the People workspace with groups, contract planning, employment history, and timeline views.
  • Improved learned spam and action classification while preserving every user correction and feedback record.
0.3.2July 17, 2026
Download

Reliable startup, Exchange sign-in, and workspace layout

  • Fixed a launch failure on clean Macs by resolving the bundled app font from the signed app's standard Resources folder.
  • Improved Exchange onboarding: password edits are saved only when you continue or test, failed saves can be retried, and the less-secure app-data option can be selected without repeated Keychain access.
  • Preserved existing Keychain credentials when switching secret-storage methods.
  • Refined workspace responsiveness and layout with lazy space loading, a stable assistant control, a non-overlapping progress footer, and better handling of narrow mail rows and long tags.

  • Fixed a macOS verification warning that could appear after downloading SeqDesk Mail on some managed Macs.
  • Improved compatibility with Finder, command-line, and enterprise extraction tools.

Multiple accounts, local models, and signed updates

  • Redesigned onboarding with HZI server suggestions, Kürzel guidance, and clearer authentication feedback.
  • Added an explicit mailbox privacy confirmation before any AI processing, including a patient-data warning.
  • Added managed on-device models, signed in-app updates, quick capture, richer projects, people timelines, and full mail composition.
  • Improved attachment safety, task and calendar workflows, widgets, search, and release verification.
0.2.0July 16, 2026

Secure onboarding and notarized direct distribution
