BloomMD Desktop 0.5.12: smoother navigation in large folders

A compact overview, background layout and reliable updates for local Markdown files.

Published · commit October 8, 2026Desktop 0.5.12ReleaseDesktop

Local workspaces with at least 100 files now open as a compact folder/file overview. Expand a file to see its headings. Markdown content remains fully available, and cross-links remain visible in the compact view.

Layout runs in the background with a visible status. Changing folders discards outdated calculations. When you pan or zoom, the canvas renders visible nodes only. Unchanged parse results and workspace contributions are reused when files change.

External edits, additions and deletions, including .markdown files, are detected. Arrow navigation expands collapsed parents before selecting the next child.

The macOS arm64 release is Developer ID signed and Apple notarized. Update through Help and settings → About BloomMD → Check for updates, or use the download page. The release includes a delta patch from 0.5.11.
