Polar 1.90.18 is now available for all desktop users and will be rolling out over the next week.

Stability

A ton of work has gone into stability to continue improving reliability for users.

Filtering Annotations in Sidebar

You can now filter annotations in the sidebar to search by text.

Auto Pagemarks

We have preview support for auto-pagemarks which are part of our new pagemark design.

This will create pagemarks automatically while you naturally read the document.

You have to enable it in settings (as it's preview for now) and it only supports PDF documents.

We're going to probably make this the default mode and remove manually sized pagemark boxes as this is a better initial user experience but also resolves some issues with manually resized pagemarks being buggy.
