Claspt v1.6.36 is out, and this is one of those updates where nearly every part of the app got better. Folder import for your existing markdown files, all fifteen editor extensions working properly, smarter defaults for new vaults, and a handful of fixes that remove real friction. Here is everything that changed.
Import an Entire Markdown Folder
This is the feature people have been asking about since launch. If you have a folder of .md files in Obsidian, Bear, iA Writer, or anywhere else, you can now import the entire folder into Claspt in one step.
Point Claspt at a directory, and it pulls in every markdown file it finds. Frontmatter titles are automatically extracted so your pages have proper names from the start. Any credentials or sensitive blocks you have marked up are encrypted on import. You do not need to open each file individually, rename anything, or restructure your content. Your existing organization comes through intact.
If you have been running Obsidian alongside Claspt and waiting for an easy migration path, this is it. Select the folder, confirm, and your notes are inside your vault with encryption applied to the parts that need it.
All 15 Markdown Extensions Now Work
Claspt ships with fifteen markdown extensions that go well beyond basic formatting. In previous versions, some of these had rendering issues or did not activate correctly. In v1.6, every single one works as expected.
That means your Mermaid diagrams render inline — flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, all of it. Chemical formulas using mhchem notation display correctly for the first time. Graphviz dot graphs render without needing an external tool. Charts, timelines, kanban boards, spreadsheets, and music notation all work the way they should have from the start.
If you tried one of these extensions before and gave up because it was not rendering, try it again. The experience is substantially different now.
Starter Folders for New Vaults
When you create a new vault in Claspt, you used to get a single general folder and a blank canvas. That is fine if you already know how you want to organize things, but most people benefit from a little structure to start with.
New vaults now come with four folders: general, credentials, identities, and personal. These are not locked or special in any way — you can rename them, delete them, or add more. They are just a sensible starting point that nudges you toward separating your API keys from your journal entries from your identity documents.
If you already have a vault, nothing changes. This only applies to freshly created vaults.
13 Built-in Help Pages
Claspt now includes thirteen help pages accessible directly from within the app. These cover the Password Generator (all six generation modes), the Browser Extension (setup and usage), and the Utilities panel.
The goal is simple: you should not have to leave the app to figure out how a feature works. The guides are concise, written for people who want to get things done rather than read documentation for its own sake.
Editor Error Recovery
Sometimes software crashes. A rendering extension hits an edge case. A malformed markdown block triggers an unhandled exception. In previous versions, when the editor panel crashed, you got a blank white panel and no indication of what happened. You had to close the tab and reopen the page, hoping your changes were saved.
In v1.6, editor crashes show a recovery UI instead. You see what went wrong, and you can restore your content without losing work. It is not a feature anyone wants to use regularly, but when you need it, you will be glad it is there.
Tour Fix
The guided tour that runs when you first open Claspt had a bug: it would repeat after you dismissed it. Every time you launched the app, the tour would start again. This is fixed. Dismiss the tour once, and it stays dismissed.
Split View Fix
If you use the side-by-side editor and preview mode, you may have noticed a strip of white space at the bottom of the preview panel. It was a layout calculation issue that made the preview look unfinished. This is fixed in v1.6 — the preview now fills its container properly.
What Is Next
v1.6 is a reliability and completeness release. The extensions that were half-working now fully work. The import workflow that was missing now exists. The rough edges that accumulated over the last few releases have been sanded down. This is the version I would hand to someone who has never used Claspt before and say "start here."
If you are already using Claspt, the update should apply automatically. If you are new, there has never been a better time to try it.
