v1.1.1: Inbox & Stability Update

LocArk v1.1.1 was a focused update for people who wanted to capture first and organize later. The headline feature was Inbox: a lightweight space for ideas, links, temporary reminders, and loose tasks that were too important to lose but too small to turn into a full note right away.

At the same time, the release improved everyday interactions across the desktop app with better workflow details, clearer time feedback, and a round of compatibility fixes.

What’s New in v1.1.1

1. Inbox: capture now, organize later

Inbox is designed for fast intake. Instead of deciding where something belongs before you write it down, you can drop it into a dedicated card wall and keep moving.

You can use Inbox for:

• ideas you want to revisit later
• links and references from research
• temporary reminders and personal to-dos
• short fragments from meetings or calls
• quick notes that do not need a folder yet

The new view opens directly from the sidebar, so Inbox is always close to the rest of your workspace.

2. A more fluid desktop workflow

Version 1.1.1 also makes day-to-day interaction smoother:

• relative timestamps help you see what changed recently
• card interactions feel more direct when creating, editing, and rearranging content
• several desktop UI details were refined for a cleaner flow
• Kanban interaction polish continues the push toward a more responsive workspace

3. Stability and compatibility fixes

This release also includes practical under-the-hood fixes:

• fixes for password template issues
• improved macOS compatibility for older supported systems
• general stability improvements for desktop use

How Inbox Worked in Desktop v1.1.1

The following steps describe the desktop v1.1.1 interface, not the current interface on every platform.

Open Inbox

In desktop v1.1.1, clicking the lightbulb-style Inbox button in the sidebar opened the capture view.

Create a card

You could create a new card in any of three ways:

1. Double-click on empty space in the canvas.
2. Click the + floating action button.
3. Press Cmd+N on macOS or Ctrl+N on Windows.

Write and save

After you started typing, clicking outside the card or pressing Esc saved the card automatically.

This made Inbox a useful place for short-form capture without extra dialogs or mandatory structure.

Rearrange and color-code

After a card was created, you could:

• drag it anywhere on the canvas
• keep related cards near each other
• add a color marker for visual grouping
• open the menu on a card to delete it when it is no longer useful

In v1.1.1, Inbox data was encrypted when the workspace’s V2 encryption was enabled. Current releases create new workspaces with V2 encryption by default.

Why This Update Matters

LocArk has always been about local ownership, privacy, and flexible knowledge work. Inbox extended that philosophy to the earliest stage of thinking: the messy moment before information became a polished note or a structured plan.

With v1.1.1, the workflow became more natural:

• capture without breaking focus
• keep rough thoughts visible
• organize later when you have context
• stay inside one local-first workspace instead of scattering ideas across temporary apps

Get the Current Version

LocArk v1.1.1 is a historical release. Existing users should install the available update through the official store where they installed LocArk. New users can use the download page to open the current store listing for a supported platform.

Current app packages are distributed through store channels rather than directly from the website.

Final Thoughts

LocArk v1.1.1 was not about adding complexity. It was about making the first step easier.

Inbox gave users a low-friction entry point for everyday capture, while the rest of the release improved the reliability and comfort of the desktop workflow. It was built for the familiar moment when something needed to be captured before it could be organized properly.
