Verso Waitlist Português

Features

What Verso does, and what comes next.

First what the test releases already have; right below, the roadmap to V1, the release for everyone.

The files are the truth

Every note is a .md file in an ordinary folder on your disk. Verso opens the folder the way a code editor does: nothing imported, no database in place of the files. The search index is a cache; deleting it loses nothing.

Opening a file never rewrites it — not the frontmatter, not the line endings, not the spacing. Converting anything is your action, with the difference shown. Every write is atomic and first checks whether the file changed on disk since it was read; if it did, Verso shows the difference instead of writing over it.

What it does today

All of this is in today’s test releases: on a Mac with an Apple chip, on Windows 10 and 11 and on Linux (x64), and in a browser and on a phone through a UniVerso.

Writing

  • Three modes: reading, editing and the raw Markdown.
  • Blocks you drag by their handle and a / menu, as in Notion.
  • Tables edited as tables.
  • A panel for the note’s properties, and typed notes: the type gives a note its fields.
  • Callouts, maths, Mermaid diagrams and code blocks with a copy button.

Linking notes

  • [[…]] links to notes, headings and blocks, and embeds that show the note or the block.
  • Backlinks, outgoing links and the links that lead to no note yet.
  • Renaming a note updates every link to it.
  • A graph of the notes to explore.

Boards

  • .canvas files, Obsidian’s format, drawn with Excalidraw.
  • The folder’s notes as cards you edit in place; pictures, which you can crop, and PDFs.
  • Arrows that keep the point they were drawn to, and the drawings of Obsidian’s Excalidraw plugin.

Bases

  • .base files shown as a table, cards, a list, a kanban or a calendar, with filters, sorting, groups and formulas.
  • A base embedded live in a note; the same file Obsidian opens.

Organizing

  • A file tree with multiple selection, stickers, colours and covers.
  • Folder pages, manual order and focuses, shared with make.md.
  • The daily note, with a calendar, and templates offered when a note is made.

Reading and keeping

  • A PDF reader with two-page spreads, pictures and HTML files.
  • Web pages kept as notes.

Finding

  • Search across the text of every note, open by name and a command palette.
  • Find and replace across notes.
  • Pinned and preview tabs, split panes, workspaces and one folder per window.

With a UniVerso

  • The folder in step across your computers; the first sync deletes nothing.
  • Folders shared with other accounts, to read or to write.
  • Notes, boards and bases edited together, live, with each person’s cursor and name.
  • A 30-day trash, and a console for the admin.
  • The same window in a browser and on a phone. More about UniVerso.

AI agents and the terminal

  • A read-only MCP server, which Settings connects to Claude Desktop; every call an agent makes is logged.
  • The verso command indexes, searches and lists backlinks in the terminal.

Your way, no account

  • Themes, palettes, fonts and your own shortcuts; the app in Portuguese or in English.
  • No sign-up and no telemetry: the folder is yours.
  • The app updates itself, and installs only an update whose signature checks out.

Roadmap

What comes next, up to V1 — the release for everyone. It is a plan, not a promise: what goes in and in what order may change, and there are no dates.

Being built is what is being made now for the next test release; planned is what is decided for V1 and has not reached the test releases yet.

In the next test release : being built

  • Notifications in the app. A notice when something changes without you asking — sync dropped or came back, a folder was shared with you, a new version is out — and a list to look at later. You choose, kind by kind, what notifies you.

In V1 : planned

  • Preview on hover. Rest the pointer on a link and read the note without leaving where you are.
  • A note’s card. The properties become a card beside the text, with a picture — a character sheet, a place, a project.
  • The game master’s secrets. A > [!secret] block inside the note, which someone who can only read the shared note never receives.
  • Dice and random tables. dice: 1d20 rolls with a click, and a table in a note draws a row; the result is never written into the note.
  • Linking mentions. Where a note is named without a link, one click makes the link — one at a time, or all at once, after seeing what changes.
  • Maps on the board. A picture under the board, pins that open notes, and secret pins the players do not see.
  • Version history. Who changed a note and when, the difference between versions, and an older version brought back — on a UniVerso and in the computer's own folders.
  • The phone offline. The folders you choose stay on the phone; you write without a connection, and everything syncs when the network is back.
  • Periodic notes. Weekly and monthly, beside the daily note.
  • Fuller bases. Filters with regular expressions, and the map view.
  • The app as a server. The desktop app serves its folder on your network; the phone finds it there and connects by reading a QR code.
  • Intel Macs and Linux ARM64. Apps for those computers too.

Also before V1 : planned

  • A security test from outside. Someone outside the project tries to break into a test UniVerso.
  • Signed apps. On a Mac and on Windows, with no unknown-app warning when installing.
  • A pass with a screen reader. The whole app gone through with a screen reader, so it works for people who cannot see the screen.
  • A month of real use. A month of using Verso every day, without losing any data.
  • The code in the open. Verso’s repository public, and the installers on this site.

Later : after V1

  • Optional end-to-end encryption.
  • The MCP server over the network.
  • The folder on outside storage: a bucket of yours or WebDAV.
