- v0.9.3 - Bugfix Update - 19 April 2026
Hello - real short bugfix update for MasterPlan! I'll be back with a bigger update sometime soon~ ___ FIX: It wasn't possible to desaturate the color selected in the Edit Color menu previously; this is now fixed. FIX: Crash when loading some images that are indexed.
- v0.9.2 - Pinboards - 8 April 2026
Yo, hello~! Quick update to fix issues with pinning cards and add a new card specifically for pinning (the Pinboard Card). The Pinboard card just allows you to pin cards to them easily and simply. You can, similarly to Maps, also wrap Pinboards around a group of selected cards easily with a shortcut (Shift + X). Full changelog below: ___ QoL: Adding Pinboard Card. The Pinboard card is just a blank card that allows you to pin multiple cards together. FIX: Some issues with card pinning and copying cards that are pinned. FIX: Cards now properly are pinned when loading projects. QoL: Adding keybinding shortcut to cycle capitalization for highlighted text. QoL: Clicking and highlighting a word and then dragging will highlight whole words, like most text editors (there's a little work to be done here still). QoL: Adding the ability to make the window entirely transparent (be a bit careful wit…
- v0.9.1 - Pinning Cards - 19 February 2026
Hello! What's up, again! Firstly, sorry for it being so long since the last update - life got very busy and I got sick a few times over the past few months. I still should do better with updates, so for that I apologize. So, firstly, this update is pretty short and sweet - the main new feature is that you can now pin Cards by simply dropping them on either Map or Image cards. This allows you to, say, easily make pinboards to group related Cards, or pin relevant notes onto images, for example. There's also a fix to the Mac build - something with paths wasn't allowing it to launch there, so that should be fixed now as well. There's more stuff, but mainly smaller things like some small optimizations and fixes. Secondly, I wanted to talk a bit about what MasterPlan's future would be. For now, I want to focus on updating its quality of life features to be easier to use, as well as do an opti…
- Version 0.9 is Here! - 30 September 2025
Yo! So, MasterPlan's 33% off for the Autumn Sale! Also, here's a very long-awaited update! This one's kind of a doozy. (Do people still say doozy?)The Internet Card!The megaton feature is the new Internet Card. The Internet Card allows you to embed Chrome browser tabs into your project plan, so you can keep videos, references, articles, and inspiration from the internet right there in your plan. It's not the most performant thing in the world, of course - it's running an internet browser in the background, after all, but I feel like it's an absolutely incredible, invaluable, and unique tool for expanding your plan out into the world wide web. (Of course, you still have the ability to simply paste links to images or sounds into MasterPlan to download them on-demand.)Please try it out!To use it, you have to have Chrome / Chromium installed on your computer because I didn't want to bloat M…
- Whoops! The menu issue should be fixed on WIndows now. - 11 January 2023
Sorry about that! I thought I resolved the issue previously, but it clearly was not resolved. Things should be good on Windows now; thank you for your patience!
- Hotfix Alpha 8.1 - 10 January 2023
Hello! Here's a quick hotfix to resolve some of the problems users were having with the last update. Here's a changelog: QoL: Adding more audio playback buffer size options. QoL: Dropped files onto MasterPlan now create cards in the center of the window, rather than the mouse last was prior to exiting the window. FIX: Menus no longer disappear when the MasterPlan window is minimized on Windows. FIX: Swapping rows and columns in Tables now works properly (previously, swapping rows and columns had pressing a cell correspond to the transposed cell in the table). FIX: Tooltip bounds are sized properly now.
- Alpha 8 Is Here! - 5 January 2023
Hello! It's been awhile since the last time I released an update - sorry about that! I wanted to get this out before 2023 started, but that didn't end up happening... In any case, here's another MasterPlan update! This one brings a few bigger improvements! NOTE: Please be sure to backup your projects before you update and load them into the next version - better safe than sorry! Tables! Tables have been re-implemented into MasterPlan! Tables represent grids of information, which can hold one value each. They're primarily useful for repeatable tasks or relative statistics. However, now they're even better than their previous incarnation. In v0.7, Tables' row and column names were editable from another screen. Now, all that can be edited right from the project overview. You just double-click on a row or column heading to rename the column or row, and you can click and drag the dotted area…
- 10/5/22 Hot-fix - 6 October 2022
Hello, just pushed a quick hot-fix to resolve an issue where media (images and sounds) linked from other drives on Windows wasn't being saved. This should be resolved now. Thank you for your patience!
- Alpha 7.3 Update! - 4 October 2022
Hello! It's been awhile, but here's another update for MasterPlan! This one is mainly a maintenance release, but there's some nice quality-of-life features in here as well. I'll go over the main ones to follow here. (As always, make sure to back up your work frequently, particularly around times like this where the program undergoes an update. Thanks!) External Media Cache Previously, when linking to media on the Internet like images or sounds, MasterPlan would only download that media to your computer's temporary directory, deleting the media when MasterPlan closes. While this works perfectly fine, it can make loading projects slow as it has to resolve a connection to each of these media sources before downloading them. This can now be sidestepped by specifying a per-project cache location to store your media downloads. If a cache location is specified in MasterPlan's settings, then Ma…
- Alpha 7.2 Release - 16 July 2022
Hello! Here's a quick update with some minor fixes that I wanted to get out since a couple of bugs were a bit heavy: QoL: Adding jump button next to pages in hierarchy view. QoL: Orphaned page names are now darker than normal page names. FIX: Cards are now again placed in the center of the screen if the option to place new cards in a stack is disabled. FIX: When cards automatically resize when typing text, other cards that move to make room now properly are moved when undoing / redoing. FIX: Exporting now only exports pages that have not been deleted. FIX: Menu to go up from a sub-page now appears again if opening a project from within a subpage (specifically, the last subpage in the project). FIX: If a page has no accessible path to the route, it is now considered deleted (if in a normal project) or orphaned (if in a project that already contains orphaned pages). Note: When loading a…
- Image Loading Fix Quick Update - 6 July 2022
Hello, this is a really small update. Just wanted to fix an issue with images not loading properly in the last hotfix update, as some filepaths were detected to be URLs. No version bump for this update. Have a good one, and see you with some more fixes and improvements soon~
- 0.8 Alpha 7 Hotfix 1 - 5 July 2022
Yo! Here's a quick hotfix release to help resolve some issues and improve some things with Alpha 7! To run through the changes real quick-like: RE-IMPLEMENTATION: Adding option to place newly created cards in a stack if a card is selected (this setting defaults to off). If the option is enabled, Cards created through keybindings or through the Create menu will be inserted into the stack underneath the currently selected Card. OPTIMIZATION: Resizing images no longer unnecessarily uses additional VRAM. (Internally, resizing images doesn't need to recreate the owning Card as the image doesn't show the card in the first place.) FIX: Images and sounds should no longer cause crashes when linked from a drive apart from the one MasterPlan starts on - this means that if a path cannot be made relative, it will be stored as absolute. FIX: Images and sounds with relative filepaths should link relat…
- Alpha 7 Release! - 2 July 2022
Well, well, well! It's been quite awhile! So this is a bit of a chonky update - there's quite a few nice, new features included here. I'll go into a couple of them right here! 0.7 Project Loading Well this might be a bit of a surprise, but I've added the ability to load projects made in MasterPlan v0.7. Note that 0.8 still isn't at feature parity with v0.7 (lines don't exist in the same way, tables and whiteboards aren't re-implemented yet), but this should at least make transferring your projects to v0.8 a little smoother. Please let me know if a project doesn't load correctly! Deadlines Deadlines have been reimplemented into MasterPlan v0.8! While crushing deadlines are, indeed, a quick way to feel like you're dying inside and out, they can also be a good tool to get you off your butt to finish stuff. Be responsible with them! Each completable Card (checkboxes or numbered cards), can…
- Alpha 6.1 Hotfix - 2 May 2022
Hello! Just wanted to throw out a quick hotfix for yesterday's update! Here's the quick rundown: QoL / FIX: Cards now only update if they are on the current page, unless they are timers (as timers still have to tick). This is an optimization, and also a fix for an issue where double-clicking causes seemingly random sub-pages to open (in truth, this is because they were still being updated and "existing" in their original location on the project, despite the user not being on their page). QoL: Editing the filepath of image and sound cards now automatically highlights the filepath text to edit. Note that this is not done for Link cards linking to programs because you may wish to edit the arguments instead of the filepath, so you can choose. QoL: Adding keyboard shortcuts to edit the description text of Checkbox, Note, Numbered, Timer, Sub-Page and Link Cards (defaulting to Enter). QoL: Or…
- Alpha 6 Release! - 1 May 2022
Yo, 'sup! Looks like I'll be able to keep it up with monthly (or more frequent) updates to MasterPlan, which is good. Here's v0.8.0 Alpha 6 - this update is mainly a quality of life and bugfix release, and primarily features a few things to improve workflow and make MasterPlan more stable. To kick things off, there's one major-ish addition in this update, which is the Hierarchy menu. Hierarchy Menu The Hierarchy menu allows you to easily view your project at a glance and see it in an ordered list. You can filter the list by card type, or change the sorting on the list to alphabetically or spatially sorted. It's not necessarily the fastest thing on earth, as there's still ways it could be optimized to run smoother. However, it's still useful, so I decided to push it out in its current state. Hopefully you'll find it useful as well for navigating larger projects! Automatic Backups Automat…
- v0.8.0 Alpha 5 Release! - 6 April 2022
Hello! Sooo here's another update for MasterPlan, this time bringing it up to v0.8.0 alpha 5! As usual, let's go over the bigger stuff first: Link Cards A new type of Card, the Link Card, has been added to MasterPlan! You can use this to point to Cards on your project and jump to them easily, giving you control over the structure of your plan from a "macro" scale. If the Link Mode is set to File Mode (the disk icon), then you can also use Link Cards to link to files or programs on your computer to open or execute them, right from MasterPlan. If the card links to a file, then MasterPlan will have the OS open the file using whatever the default program that's associated with the filetype is. (As an aside, note that in this update, any copied Sub-Page Cards will no longer reference a single sub-page. This is because you can use Link Cards to point to sub-pages.) As usual, be sure to back u…
- v0.8.0 Alpha 4.2 Release - 22 February 2022
Yo! Here's another quick quality of life / minor fix patch - below, I'll list the changes. I've also started mirroring these changelogs over on MasterPlan's Github Wiki here, which is nice to have as an additional mirror for information and changelog data. ____ RE-IMPLEMENTATION: Adding movement smoothing option. Defaults to on; turning it off makes movement, zooming, and menu scrolling absolute, rather than softened. QoL: Removing "colored area" around editable text labels. QoL: Fix text rendering artifacts on menus. (Thanks, @ishidex2!) QOL: If path names in the Open Recent menu have the same filename, more of the path will be displayed to make it unambiguous. (Thanks, @ishidex2!) FIX: The completion color for custom colored Cards is now tweaked slightly for enhanced visibility. FIX: MasterPlan no longer crashes when saving pages when subpages were created out of order. ___ That's it…
- MasterPlan Alpha 4.1 Update - 18 February 2022
Hello! Here's a quick set of hotfixes and other minor improvements being brought to alpha 4.1! One nice new feature here is that menus are now able to be anchored to the sides or corners of the window. When anchored, they'll generally try to stay in the same location even if the window changes size. Anyway, here's the changelog below. Thank you for your patience and participation in the community! _____ QoL: Menus can now be anchored. By dragging them to a side or corner of the screen, they will stay there even after resizing MasterPlan's window. QoL: The main menu can now be moved from the top-left corner and positioned wherever you want. QoL: Either of the Find Next or Find Prev. keybindings now open the Find menu. Related to this, there is no longer a need for the keybinding to summon the Find Menu, specifically, and so it has been removed. QoL: Using Find Next or Find Prev. to cycle…
- MasterPlan v0.8.0 Alpha 4 Is Here! - 17 February 2022
HELLO! It's been awhile; very very sorry about that! I got sick for a few days back in December, which threw off my schedule and workflow. I was working on a boards menu / hierarchy, but found it unsatisfactory. After some more work on MasterPlan, I thought, "Well, since I'm already late, I should make this update a big bigger," and kept working on it to try to make it even better. That was probably not a great idea, since I'm so late now, haha. Apologies, again! In any case, here's, finally, another update for MasterPlan - huzzah! There's a few cool features in this update. Card Coloring Firstly, you can color your Cards now! As of this new version, coloring your Cards is easily done on a per-Card basis, simply by using the new Edit > Color menu. You can either select the color using a color picker, or type (or paste) in a hexadecimal color code (like #FF002A). You can color (or reset…
- v0.8.0 Alpha 3 Release! - 20 November 2021
Yo, 'sup! It's been almost three weeks since the last update - apologies for letting time get away from me! I've been cracking away on both MasterPlan, and a cool 3D software renderer that I've written from scratch in Golang named Tetra3d! Check it out if you want something slow (but useable) and jank (and awesome) for gamedev, lol In any case, here's MasterPlan v0.8.0 Alpha 3! This one is a bit of a minor update, but it's kind of important because I've finally gotten the text to not be so manky! Huzzah!!! I definitely spent hours over the past several months, trying to figure out exactly why the text looked so bad. As it turns out, it was just a single line of code that was doing something I hadn't considered. Just change a couple of numbers and the text doesn't look thrashed anymore. That's coding, I guess, haha. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This fix should apply to any font displayed within MasterPlan,…
