Krillnotes v0.2.3

[careck]

[0.2.3] — 2026-02-26

Added

• note_link field type — A new field type that stores a reference to another note by its ID. In edit mode an inline search dropdown lets you find and link a note by title or any text field; an optional target_type restricts the picker to notes of a specific schema type. In view mode (default and on_view hooks) the linked note's title is rendered as a clickable navigation link. If the linked note is deleted, the field is automatically set to null in all source notes.
• get_notes_with_link(note_id) query function — Returns all notes that have any note_link field pointing to the given note ID. Available in on_view hooks and add_tree_action closures. Use this to display backlinks on a target note (e.g. show all Tasks that link to a Project).
• Tags — Any note can carry free-form tags. Add and remove tags from the tag pill editor in the InfoPanel. Tag pills are shown in the default note view. A resizable tag cloud panel in the tree sidebar lets you browse all tags in the workspace at a glance.
• Tag search — The search bar now matches tags in addition to note titles and text fields.
• Template gallery — templates/ ships two ready-to-use template scripts: book_collection.rhai (a library organiser with an on_view table and sort actions) and zettelkasten.rhai (an atomic-note system with auto-titling and related-note discovery via shared tags). Copy a template into the Script Manager to activate it.
• note.tags in on_view hooks — The note map passed to on_view now includes a tags array, enabling scripts to read and display the note's tags.
• render_tags(tags) display helper — Renders a note.tags array as coloured pill badges.
• get_notes_for_tag(tags) query function — Returns all notes that carry any of the given tags (OR semantics, deduplicated). Available in on_view hooks and add_tree_action closures.
• today() scripting function — Returns today's date as a "YYYY-MM-DD" string. Useful in on_save hooks to auto-stamp date fields or derive a date-prefixed title.
• Tags in export / import — workspace.json now includes a global tag list and each note's tags array. Import restores all tag assignments.
• Book collection template — A full library management template (previously a bundled system script) moved to the template gallery as templates/book_collection.rhai.

Installing on macOS and Windows

Krillnotes is not yet code-signed or notarised, so both platforms will warn you on first launch.

macOS — If you see "Krillnotes cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified", run this once in Terminal after moving the app to /Applications:

xattr -cr /Applications/Krillnotes.app

Then launch normally.

Windows — If SmartScreen blocks the installer, click More info → Run anyway.
