What's new in CPDock

Useful changes, version by version. This page records development previews and will also list public releases once downloads open.

Current local preview: 0.2.12. No public release is available yet. Signing, notarization and release testing are still in progress. Read the user guide for installation and update instructions.

0.2.12 - 3 October 2026 - Local preview

Save and organize your text

• Save a Clipboard entry permanently to Text using the button beside trash.
• Give saved text and prompts a title so they are easier to recognize.
• Single-click to copy; double-click to open the larger editor.
• Edit the title, text, folder and optional source link. Closing saves the changes; errors keep the draft open.
• Start with Prompts and Notes, rename folders and create your own.
• Keep existing saved text in All Text or Unfiled until you organize it.

Compatibility and privacy

• Build for both Apple Silicon and Intel, with macOS 13 or later. Real Intel hardware verification remains part of release testing.
• Mask titles and source previews as well as text when Privacy mode is enabled.
• Back up an older library before migrating to the new text-folder format.

How updates will be listed

Each future release will include its version, release date, Added/Changed/Fixed notes, compatibility requirements and any upgrade instructions. A public release will link to its verified download; a preview entry does not open the download or purchase buttons.

For now, update manually by quitting CPDock and replacing the app in Applications. Keep your local library and original files. See the update steps.
