Pinery is now available in Spanish. Menus, settings, the walkthrough, and Prose are all translated, and the app follows the language your Mac is set to.
This update makes the editor and the Design preview smoother, and fixes how Mermaid charts and covers behave.
This update fixes a bug that stopped Pinery 2.0 from launching on macOS 13, 14, and 15. If Pinery crashed every time you opened it on one of those systems, this version fixes it.
Prose now avoids the habits that make text read as AI-written when it drafts, continues, or rewrites, so what comes back sounds more like the rest of your book.
NEW: Claude Opus 5. Anthropic's Opus 5 replaces Opus 4.8 in the model picker.
A quick follow-up to 2.0 with fixes for the Kindle preview.
Pinery 2.0 is our biggest release ever. Pinery grew from a Markdown book editor into a full studio for writers — and it starts with Prose, the AI editor that lives beside your manuscript.
NEW: Prose, your AI editor. Ask in plain language, right next to your text — no chat-window copy-paste, and nothing lands in your book without your review.
/beta-reader, /brainstorm, /continue-chapter, /developmental-edit, /drafting-partner, /line-edit, /market-analysis, /tighten-prose — plus /create-skill to build your own. Type / in the composer to browse them.NEW: Choose your model. Prose runs on Auto by default, picking a suitable model for each task. Or open the model chip in the composer and choose your own — models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, each row showing the plan it needs and how much of your budget it uses. See plans for what each tier unlocks.
NEW: Instant tables of contents. Drop {{TOC}} anywhere and it builds itself — hierarchical entries, real page numbers in the Design preview and PDF, and links in ePub and HTML. It stays in sync as your book changes. Add one from the Insert or File menu, and control which heading levels appear (and what front matter to skip) in the document's settings.
NEW: Chapter notes. Keep notes on a chapter in the inspector — research, continuity, reminders — held separately from the chapter text, so they never reach your exported book.
NEW: Plan & Usage. A settings screen with your current plan, what it includes, and one-click paths to upgrade or manage your subscription.
This update includes some follow-up polish and important fixes.

A major update: Pinery has been redesigned to be right at home on macOS Tahoe!
In addition, Pinery now renders Markdown table previews. The tables follow the standard Markdown table syntax, as well as row alignment.
| Character | Role | Action |
| :------------- | :--------------------- | :---------------------------------- |
| Alice | Uninvited Guest | Applies logic to the madness. |
| The Hatter | Eccentric Host | Asks a **riddle** with no answer. |
| The March Hare | Co-Host | Offers fake *wine*; butters a watch.|
| The Dormouse | Sleepy ~~Storyteller~~ | Used as a cushion; tells stories. |
This update introduces a powerful new way to visualize your ideas and more performance enhancements.
Mermaid is a Markdown-inspired tool that renders text into diagrams, such as flow charts, sequence diagrams, and pie charts. To create a Mermaid diagram, add Mermaid syntax inside a fenced code block with the mermaid language identifier.
For example, you can create a simple flow chart by specifying values and arrows:
```mermaid
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
```
For more information, see the Mermaid documentation.
This update brings a great improvement to HTML exporting and a key stability fix.
