Added

• The Recent list now remembers files, not just folders. Every file you open — double-clicking in Finder, dragging it into the window, the Open dialog, the iOS document picker, or an aimemoryreader:// link — now lands in the sidebar's Recent list, alongside the folders that were already tracked. Click any entry to jump straight back in: files reopen on their own, folders reload the tree.
• Ten entries, de-duplicated, with the right icon. The list keeps the last 10 (was 5), and revisiting something moves it back to the top instead of adding a duplicate. Files and folders show distinct icons, and hovering an entry shows its full path.
• Your existing recents carry over. The storage key is unchanged, so the Recent list you have today — including iCloud-synced entries from your other devices — is preserved with no migration.

Fixed

• Editor: IME input no longer inserts random line breaks. When typing with a Chinese / Japanese / Korean input method, re-applying syntax highlighting mid-composition cancelled the active IME session, so pressing Return to confirm a candidate inserted a stray newline instead. The editor now leaves the text untouched while a composition is in flight and reformats once it commits.
• Undo works again after IME typing. The same mid-composition mutation desynced the undo stack; Ctrl+Z now behaves correctly.

The app is now signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Download, unzip, double-click — no more "unidentified developer" / "cannot verify" warning, and no need for the right-click-Open or xattr workaround earlier builds required.

Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), macOS 13+.

Fixes "Couldn't check for updates — a server with the specified hostname could not be found" in v0.4.11/v0.4.12.

Those two zips were accidentally built with the Mac App Store sandbox profile, which blocks network access — the update checker couldn't reach api.github.com. The GitHub build is unsandboxed again (as it was through v0.4.10), and the release pipeline is now a checked-in script with a guard that refuses sandboxed output.

Side benefit: the folder-context feature (v0.4.11) no longer needs any permission prompt in this build — double-clicking a file shows its folder's files immediately.

Note: the in-app updater in v0.4.11/v0.4.12 can't see this release (its network is blocked — that's the bug). Update manually this once: download AIMemoryReader.zip and replace the app.

Downloads: AIMemoryReader-v0.4.13-universal.zip (versioned) or the stable-URL AIMemoryReader.zip.

Fixes the v0.4.11 folder-context feature for folders AIMR couldn't already read.

• Double-clicking a file in a folder outside your existing access grants used to silently show just that one file. Now AIMR asks once, with the folder pre-selected — grant it and the sidebar fills in with the folder's files. Pick a parent folder in the dialog to cover more of your notes at once.
• One click per folder, ever: grants persist across launches, and declining means AIMR won't ask again for that folder.
• Also hardened the opened-file matching against path normalization differences.

Downloads: AIMemoryReader-v0.4.12-universal.zip (versioned) or the stable-URL AIMemoryReader.zip.

Double-clicking a file now also opens its folder.

• Opening a file directly (Finder double-click, drag-drop, aimr open, URL scheme) used to show the lone file with the sidebar hidden. Now the file still opens instantly — and the sidebar then slides in with the file's folder loaded and the file selected, so sibling memory files, configs, and transcripts are one click away. Matches how multi-file drops already behave.
• The folder tree loads after first paint, so the double-click fast path stays as fast as v0.4.9 made it.
• App Store-style sandboxed opens grant access to the file only; when the folder isn't readable, the single-file view stays exactly as before.
• Files that don't look like memory files stay visible when opened directly, instead of being filtered out of their own folder view.

Fixed

• Sidebar selection flicker / ghost highlight boxes. When viewing a busy
  source (e.g. ~/.claude, where AI agents are constantly writing session
  files), the selected file's highlight would flip to gray after a moment and
  leave a stray gray box stuck on previously-selected rows. The file tree was
  being torn down and rebuilt on every filesystem event; it's now updated in
  place, so your selection, expanded folders, and scroll position stay put.

(A selected row still greys when you click away from the sidebar into the
document — that's normal macOS behavior, not the bug above.)

What's new

• Faster launch. Detecting your AI sources (scanning ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.cursor, … for memory files) used to run synchronously before the window appeared — slow when those folders are large (a busy ~/.claude/projects can hold thousands of session files). It now runs off the main thread, so the window shows immediately and the sidebar source list fills in a moment later.
• Double-clicking a .md file in Finder no longer waits on any directory scan at all — the file opens right away; source detection happens in the background.

Fixes

• Fixed an internal iOS build break (no change to the macOS app's behavior).

New sources (now 10 agents auto-discovered)

• Qwen Code CLI (~/.qwen/) — Alibaba's Qwen-Coder terminal agent. Same Claude-style layout: settings.json + AGENTS.md + sessions/**/*.jsonl.
• Kimi CLI (~/.kimi/) — Moonshot AI's terminal agent. config.toml + AGENTS.md + session transcripts.

Both are auto-discovered if the directory exists. They show up alongside the existing 8 agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Continue, GitHub Copilot, Aider, OpenClaw).

Why these two

They're the two China-vendor agents that ship terminal-first, Claude-Code-style: dotfolder under ~, plaintext config, JSONL session transcripts. VSCode-extension agents (Lingma, CodeGeeX, MarsCode) persist state as binary inside Code's globalStorage, so AIMR can't surface anything useful for them yet.

New

• .mdx file support. Open .mdx from Finder, drag-and-drop, or via the sidebar tree. The file now renders as markdown (JSX blocks pass through as raw text). The app registers itself as a viewer for .mdx so Finder's "Open With" lists AIMR.
• Suggested Rules panel (WIP). New sidebar entry that scans your session JSONL files (~/.claude/projects/*.jsonl, ~/.codex/sessions/*.jsonl) for mid-session corrections that have repeated across two or more sessions, and offers to append them to the source's CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md / CONVENTIONS.md etc.). Pure local — no LLM, no network. Pattern matching is conservative; iterate from feedback.
