Changelog

User-visible changes to eigen, newest first.

[Unreleased]

[0.4.2] - 2026-11-03

Sheets scrolls and looks things up faster, copies and pastes validation rules and hidden rows as Excel does, and its dialogs read and behave like the rest of Eigen. Docs gets styled tables of contents, and emoji, Chinese and Korean text and equations draw the same in the apps and in downloads. Every update now makes a Full backup, ./eigen rollback keeps today's data, and an update can warn open tabs before Eigen restarts. Three changes break old data: Vector and Slides text boxes saved by an earlier version disappear, Sheets validation rules need setting up again, and Light backups can no longer be restored. After you update, reload any tab you have open.

Added

Demo reset warning — a demo warns five minutes before its hourly reset, with a countdown at the bottom of the page
Table of contents options in Docs — select or right-click a table of contents to pick Plain text, Dotted or Links, how many heading levels it lists and each level's font, shown in PDFs and Word files. A click selects it: ⌘-click a line (Ctrl-click on Windows and Linux) to jump to its heading
Row menus from the keyboard — in the lists of Drive, Mail and Contacts, Shift+F10 (fn+Shift+F10 on most Mac keyboards) or the Menu key opens the menu of the row under the cursor
Unread comments on cards — in Stickies and in the comment panel of Docs, Sheets, Slides and Vector, a red dot marks each card with a new reply, mention or assignment for you
A warning before a restart — ./eigen update, ./eigen rollback and ./eigen restore take --in 10m "Back at three", up to an hour, and every open tab counts down in a banner. Ctrl+C or a lost SSH session cancels

Changed

Text boxes in Vector and Slides (breaking) — a text box saved by an earlier version disappears when its drawing or deck opens. Text inside shapes stays
Open tabs after an update — every open Eigen tab reloads by itself once the updated server is back. Anything a tab had not saved yet is lost, such as text typed while the server was down
Dialogs and the keyboard — dialogs across Sheets, Docs, Drive, Calendar and Admin close, save and return focus as in the rest of Eigen, and a save that fails keeps what you typed. Enter in a link field on a card or an email adds the link without also saving the card or sending the email
Scrolling in Sheets — the grid keeps up with a wheel or trackpad scroll on a 120 Hz screen, frozen rows and columns and large sheets included
Validation rules in Sheets (breaking) — an existing spreadsheet opens without its dropdowns, tick boxes and other validation rules, and every cell keeps its value. Set the rules up again, or import the Excel file again
Copy and paste in Sheets — as in Excel, cells you copy or cut in the same tab replace the validation rules and links where you paste them, and a copy, cut or move takes hidden rows and columns along. A rule on a whole column covers every row, below the data too
Whole-column lookups in Sheets — a sheet with 20,000 lookups into whole columns of 64,000 rows, such as INDEX and MATCH over B:B, opens about three seconds faster
Cell references in conditional formatting — a value that starts with =, such as =B1, follows that cell as it changes, as in Excel. Without the =, B1 is text
Emoji, Chinese and Korean — emoji draw in one monochrome font in the color of the text, and Chinese and Korean in Noto Sans SC and KR, in the apps and in PDF, web page and SVG downloads, where a PDF printed Korean as boxes. Japanese kanji draw in their Chinese forms
Equations in Docs — equations draw in New Computer Modern Math, so they look different, and the PDF and the web page show them in the editor's font
Web page downloads — a download carries only the parts of each font its text uses: a short document is about 380 KB instead of 1.2 MB, a sheet or deck about 310 KB instead of 1 MB
PowerPoint files — a picture set to Fit or Fill downloads as one picture and comes back looking the same, and a picture cropped evenly on two sides comes in as Fit or Fill. A text box aligned to the top downloads set to fit its text, and comes back as a text box
Uploading several files in Drive — a file that fails no longer stops the files after it
The server image — the API image installs no recommended packages, and no libvips or ImageMagick from Debian, which nothing used. SVG thumbnails draw Chinese and Korean text
Light backups (breaking) — every ./eigen update makes a Full backup, and ./eigen backup --light, ./eigen update --full and Light in Back up now are gone. Eigen no longer recognises the Light backups of 0.4.1 and before: it can't restore one, ./eigen status doesn't list them and a start leaves their files as they are. Delete them by hand with sudo rm backups/server-*-light-*
Rolling back — ./eigen rollback keeps today's data when the version before opens it, and puts the update's backup back only when that version can't. A check that fails otherwise stops it with Eigen running as it was
Restoring a user or team in Admin — the account keeps working while its backup is unpacked and checked, and goes offline only for the swap at the end. It needs room on the data disk
Private backups — the files inside a backup are for Eigen's own user alone. backups/ takes the install folder's group with mode 2750, or stays as it is, with a warning, when other users share that group
Stopping during a backup — before it stops Eigen, ./eigen waits for a running backup or its upload
Copies a restore kept aside — ./eigen status lists the data.pre-restore-* and .env.production.pre-restore-* copies a restore leaves, each possibly a full copy of data/, with the command to delete them

Fixed

Printing — printing a document, an email or a contact waits for its fonts, and a few seconds at most for its pictures, so they show on the page
Moving and editing equations in Docs — drag an equation to move it, as you drag an image, and what you type in the Equation panel stays when someone else types above the equation
Restoring a version in Docs — charts, images and equations keep their data, size and display when you restore a version while the document is open
Pictures and text boxes from Word files — stay on the paper and line up by the size Word draws them at. Older Word text boxes keep their theme-colored fills and outlines and their wrap side
Editing together in Sheets — every tab ends with the same cells, the later of two edits to a cell winning, edits made offline too. A row someone inserts or deletes moves your selection
Formulas in Sheets — formulas with spaces such as =A1 + 1, INDEX, whole columns on another sheet, and whole columns after a row insert or a paste below the data recalculate when their cells change. A formula finds a sheet whatever the case of its name, as in Excel
Filters and hidden rows in Sheets — applying, changing or clearing a filter leaves the rows you hid by hand hidden
Custom sort in Sheets — with Data has a header row ticked, the header row stays where it is
Copying in Drive — a copy larger than the upload size limit works if it fits in the free space, items with the same name all land under their own names, and a retry copies only the items that failed. A copy that fails part way leaves no half-copied folder behind
A copy that never ends in Drive — a folder copy takes only what the folder held when it began. Moving the target into the folder meanwhile, or two copies between drives in opposite directions, no longer copy on until the drive is full
Several screenshots in one message — a message with pasted screenshots of the same name posts with all of them, in Chat and in the comments of Docs, Sheets, Slides, Stickies and Vector
WebDAV — moving and copying in Finder or rclone no longer fails. A copy meets the drive's free space and the upload size limit, and a lock lasts until it expires or the client releases it, not until your home goes idle
Slow transfers in Drive and WebDAV — a slow upload, copy, convert, export or import no longer fails when it runs past five idle minutes
Live updates and open editors — both stay connected while the tab is open, and reconnect after a restore
One data folder, one server — a second Eigen server on another machine or VM, such as one that reaches data/ through a Docker Desktop folder or WSL2, refuses to start while the first one runs
Crafted backups — a backup someone uploaded can no longer make an interrupted restore of one account move another account aside
Uploads after a restore — a whole-server restore of an older backup keeps the files it had not yet sent to an S3 bucket
The trash after a restore in Admin — a file trashed before the backup stays in the trash for the full retention period, instead of being deleted for good seconds after the restore
The owner's backups in Admin — only the owner can back up, restore, upload, verify, download or delete backups of the owner's account. Other admins no longer see its Backup section
S3 uploads when a home closes — an upload to S3 that a closing home cuts short can no longer overwrite newer edits

[0.4.1] - 2026-10-28

Docs gets page-less documents, text boxes, a table of contents and an outline, and an image can sit behind or in front of the text. In Sheets you can style part of a cell's text, and undo keeps up with other people's edits. In Slides and Vector you can type in shapes, and charts can show their values. After you update, reload any Docs document you have open, or a tab still on 0.4.0 deletes the text boxes and tables of contents it receives and can shrink wide tables for everyone.

Added

Page-less documents in Docs — File → Page setup… or Format turns a document into one continuous column with no page breaks, headers or footers, as in Google Docs. It still prints on its paper
Text width — pick Narrow, Medium, Wide or Full for page-less documents. Your width follows you to every device, and the people you share with keep theirs
Wide tables and images — in a page-less document, a table can grow past the text and scroll sideways, and an image or chart can be as wide as the paper
Page-less Word files — a Word file in Web Layout opens page-less, and a page-less document downloads in Web Layout
Text boxes in Docs — Insert › Text box adds a box you type in where it stands. Place it in line, beside, behind or in front of the text, and drag it anywhere
A text box's look — the Text box panel sets its size, fill, outline, corners, padding and where its text sits. The box grows with its text
Text boxes in Word files — come in and go out as text boxes, in place and with their look. One inside a header, footer, footnote, group or drawing canvas comes in as text
Images behind or in front of text — in Docs, drag an image or chart anywhere, behind or in front of the text. It moves with its paragraph, and Word files keep it. On a phone, use Format → Image
Image and chart size in Docs — set the width and height in centimeters, with Keep aspect ratio. A stretched image stays stretched in prints, downloads and Word files
Table borders in Docs — all borders, a box or none, in any color, from the Table panel or Format › Table. A new row or column copies its neighbor's borders and fill
Table borders in Word files — keep their colors, widths and dashes both ways, and a borderless Word table stays borderless
Outline in Docs — Tools → Show outline lists the headings on the left. Click one to jump there. On a desktop it stays open across documents in that browser, on a phone it's in the ⋮ menu
Table of contents in Docs — Insert → Table of contents lists the headings down to Heading 3 and stays up to date. Click a line to jump. PDFs show page numbers, and Word downloads hold Word's own
Tables of contents in Word files — come in as a live table of contents, and the import message says when its entries differed. A Contents title above it stays normal text, not a Heading 1
Bra-ket notation in equations — \bra, \ket, \braket, \expval, \mel and \ketbra in Docs equations, with brackets that grow to fit
Styling part of a cell in Sheets — while you edit a cell, make selected words bold, italic, underlined, struck through, or another color, font or size. Pasted text comes in plain, and Excel downloads keep the styles
Italic and underline shortcuts in Sheets — Ctrl+I and Ctrl+U (Mac: ⌘I, ⌘U) work on selected cells, and with Ctrl+B on selected words in a cell
Slides on a phone — a row of slide thumbnails sits under the slide. Tap one to jump to it
SmartArt in PowerPoint files — comes in as shapes and text you can edit. One saved without its shapes, as LibreOffice does, leaves a SmartArt not imported box with its text
Chart data labels — Data labels writes each value on a column, bar or line chart, in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Vector. Labels that would overlap hide, and Office files keep them both ways
What a download left out — after a download, or a print from Docs, a message counts what the file left out or drew simpler, and says when part of it couldn't be read
Preferences in Space — a new page for the theme (Light, Dark or System) and Celebrations
Celebrations — now and then, ticking the last box of a checklist on a Stickies card or a comment card bursts confetti
Text in shapes — in Vector and Slides, double-click a rectangle, diamond or ellipse, or select it and press Enter, to type in it. Text that does not fit spills past its edge

Changed

Labels in sentence case — buttons, menus, dialogs and fields in Admin, Calendar, Chat, Contacts, Docs, Drive, Mail, Sheets, Space and Stickies capitalize only the first word and names, such as Reply all
Menus in Docs, Sheets, Slides, Vector and Stickies — with a menu open, point at another or use the arrow keys to open it. One click switches menus
Links — underlined, as in Word and Google Docs, in Docs and its downloads, Stickies, the email you write in Mail, the help center and the blog
Tables in Docs — a table keeps its column widths when the page gets narrower, and scrolls sideways. A table in a list or a cell still shrinks
Decimals — Docs margins show two decimals, such as 2.00 cm. Number fields in Slides and Vector show at most two, and line height and letter spacing at least one, such as 1.0
Shortcuts in the Sheets menus — Edit shows the shortcut of Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Find and Find and replace, and Format → Text shows it for Bold, Italic and Underline
How far undo goes in Sheets — back 200 steps, and no further back than the tenth latest insert or delete of rows, columns or sheets
Large sheets in PDFs — a sheet too large for the PDF keeps the columns one page holds, 192 at the default width. A web page download keeps more while all its rows fit
Shapes in PowerPoint files — a shape with text imports and exports as one shape holding its text. Text boxes, titles, text on a line or arrow, and turned text stay text boxes
Forwarding email — a forward brings the original's attachments, inline pictures too. Remove one with the X on its chip
Contacts — the list fills the page until you open a contact. A link to a deleted contact opens to Contact not found
Teams in Admin — teams get a list page, like users. To add people, select them on the Users page, right-click and choose Add to team…, which replaces dragging them onto a team
Users in Admin — a user's details list their teams, with Add to team and a × to take them out of one
Restore commands in Admin — the server backup settings show each restore command with a copy button
Space home — admins get an Admin tile, and Help and support takes the help center's teal
Help center colors — each app's section shows its title in the app's color, such as amber for Mail

Fixed

Undo in Sheets while others edit — undo finds your cell after others insert or delete rows, columns or sheets, skips a cell someone else changed since, and keeps their edits
Formulas after an undo — every formula an undo or redo touches shows what its cells give now, and undoing a row delete repairs the formulas it broke
Others' edits in Sheets — show up on a sheet you never opened, and while the spreadsheet is still opening. Closing a spreadsheet leaves everyone else's view and undo history alone
Typing in a cell while others edit — your cell moves with its row or column as others insert or delete them, so Enter writes where you meant. If they delete it, the edit closes
Formulas across sheets — a formula that points at another sheet follows the rows and columns inserted or deleted there, in downloads and previews too, and for whoever opens it next
Undo while you type in a cell — Ctrl+Z (Mac: ⌘Z) undoes only your typing
Delete in Sheets — Delete and Backspace clear cells, links too, and keep their formatting, as in Excel and Google Sheets
Errors in Sheets formulas — a formula sees an error in a cell it reads: with 1/0 in B1, =IFERROR(B1,"none") gives none and =B1+1 gives #DIV/0!. COUNTIF counts the error cells you name, and AGGREGATE can skip them
Errors in Excel files — error cells such as #N/A import and export as errors, and #N/A typed into a text-formatted cell stays text
IFERROR in Sheets — gives its fallback for a mistyped name. An Excel function Sheets can't calculate yet, such as FILTER, shows #NAME? unless IF, CHOOSE, IFS or SWITCH skips it. An imported file keeps Excel's value
Sheets shortcuts on other keyboard layouts — copy and cut work on Dvorak, and bold, italic and underline work in a cell on Russian and Greek layouts. On a Mac they take ⌘, as in Docs
Wrapped text in Sheets — Wrap or a bigger font size makes the row tall enough for the text, and a cell that mixes styles breaks its lines between words
Color scales in Sheets — short colors such as #f00 shade cells instead of leaving them blank
Conditional colors in Sheets — a cell a rule colors keeps that color while you type in it, and when you copy it into another app
Link cards in Sheets — a menu or dialog open over a link cell no longer shows that cell's link card
Resizing a chart in Sheets — a large sketched chart keeps up with the pointer
Sheets menus on a phone — all six menus fit a 390 pixel wide screen, and a narrower one scrolls
Names and charts in search — search finds a chat message or emote by a person's name, and a spreadsheet by its charts' titles and series names. Comment results in the command palette name who wrote last
Inserting an Excel file in Sheets — an insert that would make the spreadsheet larger than an import allows is refused with This spreadsheet is too large to import, and nothing changes
Excel named ranges — a formula like =SUM(Sales) keeps working as its cells change, though the name isn't kept. A dropdown from a named range comes in as a list, and the import message counts names Eigen can't follow
Excel row heights — a normal-height row with wrapped text stays normal, and Excel downloads keep the heights Eigen shows
Copied charts — a chart copied from Sheets into Docs, Slides or Vector keeps its axis number format, so 25% doesn't turn into 0.25
100% stacked charts in Office downloads — the axis runs from 0% to 100%
Spreadsheet PDF — thousands of small sheets print the first 2,000 instead of failing, and a cell of thousands of lines prints on one page
Spreadsheet downloads — a spreadsheet with very many charts or pictures downloads with the ones that fit instead of failing, and so does its preview. A picture too large to process is left out
Spreadsheet previews — a merged cell cut off at the edge shows no border there. An image or chart on a sheet with hidden columns shows within the first 50 visible columns
Wide tables in Docs PDFs — a table wider than the page fits it in the PDF and web page download, with no columns cut off. A word too long for its column breaks inside its cell
Long tables in Docs PDFs — a table continues on the next page instead of jumping there whole, and a tall row splits, as in Word
Pictures in downloads — a document, spreadsheet or deck with photos downloads as a PDF much faster and at a fraction of the size. Office files and PDFs hold photos and screenshots as JPEG, and only see-through pictures as PNG
Pasted photos in Docs downloads — web page and PDF downloads strip a pasted photo's camera details and location, as Word downloads do. An animated GIF shows its first frame, and an image that can't be cleaned is left out
Pictures in footnotes — a picture in a Docs footnote sits on a line of its own, not beside the note's text
Comments in downloads — web page downloads and Drive previews show commented text without the yellow highlight
Long code blocks — many long code blocks with no language set no longer stall a download or preview. Past about 65,000 characters in all, the rest has no syntax colors
PowerPoint arrows — bent and curved connectors keep their arrowheads. A bent one with three or more right-angle legs comes in as an elbow arrow, other bent ones as a sharp arrow, a curved one as a curved arrow
Saving a text file in Drive — a save over someone else's newer change shows File conflict instead of overwriting it. Recent activity lists your save as an edit, not an upload
Paths in Drive — a file or folder shared with you shows its path from Shared with me, a public one from the first folder you can open, a team drive's from the drive's name, each folder a link
Closing a text file shared on its own — takes you back to Shared with me, not to an access request for its folder
Team drives — a file someone adds, renames, moves or trashes in a team drive or shared folder shows at once in the open view of everyone who can open it. A big upload fills the list as it goes
Trash in Drive — a file or folder deleted for good leaves the Trash in your other tabs too
Unread counts in Mail — reading a message in another mail app clears its count at once
Sharing a calendar — the list of who has access refreshes at once in every open tab when a calendar is shared or stops being shared
New events late in the evening — in Calendar, a new event made after 23:15 ends on the next day instead of before it starts. So does one with All day turned off that late
Job titles in Contacts — a contact with a job title and no company shows the title under the name
Finding a person in a filter — Home and End in a person search, such as Stickies' Filter › Assigned to, move the cursor on Windows and Linux
Passwords with accents — a password with accents or other non-English letters works for calendar, contacts and file sync
Last active in Admin — a mail, calendar or file client that signs in with an account's password no longer counts, so it shows when the person last used Eigen in a browser
Picking a theme — the theme changes the moment you pick it, without a Settings saved message
Deleting a team in Admin — removes its drives, files and calendar from the server. A team being backed up or restored can't be deleted, and the dialog says why. The default team has no delete or remove buttons
Backups on a shared server — data/, backups, ./eigen's log and what a backup, check or restore unpacks are readable by Eigen's own user alone. 0.4.0's home backups close at the next start, and backups/ itself stays readable
Updates on the main channel — an update to a new build of main makes a Full backup when a change not released yet is marked as needing one
Restore and rollback — when one would set aside the folder of a user or team made since the backup, it lists them and asks again before it stops Eigen. A user or team being deleted can't be restored
Setup copies of the accounts — ./eigen status lists each copy of the login database that setup kept, and how to delete it

[0.4.0] - 2026-10-26

Eigen now opens and saves Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Docs gets equations, page setup, headers and footers, and footnotes. Docs, Sheets, Slides and Vector get charts. After you update, reload any document you have open, or a tab still on 0.3.3 deletes the equations, footnotes and charts it receives.

Added

PowerPoint files — convert one to a Slides deck in Drive, import one into the deck you have open, or download a deck as PowerPoint. Shapes, pictures and backgrounds come along
Word files — keep their equations, headers and footers, footnotes and page setup
Excel files — keep their hidden sheets, tab colors and pictures, both when they come in and when you download a spreadsheet as Excel. A cell with more than one format in its text, such as one bold word, comes in with it
Charts in these files — come in as charts you can edit, not as pictures, with their background, text color, line color and line widths
Charts in downloads — a chart in a Word, Excel or PowerPoint download is a chart there too, not a picture, with bars as wide as Eigen draws them. A sketched, hatched or dashed chart draws plain, a gradient background takes its middle color, a rotated one sits upright, and a see-through one on a slide is solid
Chart data in Word and PowerPoint downloads — a chart keeps its numbers in a small spreadsheet inside the file, the way Word and PowerPoint keep a chart's data
Import into a spreadsheet or deck — add a file's sheets or slides to the one you have open, or replace it with the file. Eigen saves a version before it replaces anything, so you can go back
What didn't come across — after you import a file into an open document, spreadsheet or deck, a message counts what Eigen left out or simplified, such as a chart it can't draw
Pictures left out — a Word or PowerPoint picture Eigen can't bring in leaves a Picture not imported mark where it was, in Docs and in Slides, so you can see what is missing. A chart Eigen can't draw leaves a mark too
Equations — write math in Docs in LaTeX and watch the preview as you type, or pick symbols from the menus above the field. An equation sits in line with the text or on its own line
Pasted math — math copied from Word for the web, or from most web pages that show math, pastes as an equation you can edit
Equations in downloads — PDF, web page and Word downloads keep your equations
Charts — add a column, bar, line or pie chart in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Vector. Edit data opens its numbers in a small sheet
Chart axes and stacking — hide an axis, reverse the order of the categories, or stack a column or bar chart, plain or to 100%
Charts in Sheets — a chart follows the cells it shows, so it changes when they do. You move, resize, rotate and stack it the way you do a picture
Copying charts — a chart you copy into another Eigen app stays a chart you can edit
Chart style — a chart takes the same fill, stroke and sketch style as a shape. In Vector and Slides you can turn one into shapes
Download image — right-click a chart, or a selection in Vector or Slides, to save it as an SVG picture. This works when you can only view, too. The text in the picture stays real text
Page setup — choose the paper size, orientation and margins in Docs. The editor, printing and every download use them
Slide size — switch a deck between widescreen 16:9 and standard 4:3
Headers and footers — add them in Docs, with page numbers and a page count. The first page can have its own. They show on every page when you print, and in PDF and Word downloads
Footnotes — add numbered notes in Docs. In a PDF they print at the bottom of their page. A document with more than 1,500 notes, or one longer than a page, lists them after the text instead
More formatting in Docs — line and paragraph spacing, indents, a font size box on the toolbar, and a background color for table cells
Normal text in Docs — Update 'Normal text' to match gives all normal text the look of the text at your cursor
New functions in Sheets — XLOOKUP, XMATCH, TEXTJOIN, MAXIFS and MINIFS calculate, and so do Excel's dotted names such as STDEV.S and NORM.DIST
Download from the command palette — with a document selected in Drive, ⌘K offers Download as in each format its File › Download menu has

Changed

Find and replace — ⇧⌘H opens it in Docs, Sheets and text files in Drive, as in Google Docs. In Docs, ⌥⌘F now inserts a footnote
Printing from Docs — Eigen prints through a PDF, so headers, footers and page numbers print too. Offline, with edits not yet saved, or when the PDF fails, it says so and prints from the browser without them
Nested numbered lists — number by level, as in Google Docs: 1., then a., then i. A nested list that showed 1. 2. 3. on every level now shows a. or i. on the deeper levels. To keep 1. 2. 3., pick that style for the list again
Text in Sheets — long text spills into the empty cells next to it
Alignment in Sheets — numbers and dates line up on the right, and TRUE, FALSE and errors in the middle, unless you align them yourself. A tick box sits in the middle of its cell, or on the left when it has a label
Column widths in Sheets — an imported Excel file's columns are as wide as they are in Excel
Font size in Sheets — the size box takes any size from 1 to 400 points, half points too, where it stopped at 6 and 96
Font sizes in Slides — sizes and letter spacing show in points, so a 44 pt PowerPoint title reads 44. The stroke width is a number you type, in Slides and in Vector
Sizes in Docs — an image's width and the size shown while you resize a picture or chart are in centimeters
Vector downloads — File › Download › SVG image draws the SVG in your browser, with its text as real text. Drive and the command palette offer a drawing as PDF only
Large workbooks — an Excel file with many sheets, rows or merged cells imports as long as the file fits Eigen's size limits. There is no longer a separate limit on sheets, rows or merged cells
Password-protected files — an Excel or PowerPoint import tells you the file has a password, and to remove it there, as a Word import does
Menus — right-click and ⋮ menus order their items the same way in every app. In every menu, Delete comes last and in red
Choices in menus — where you pick one of several options, the submenu shows a check next to the current one
Right-click menus — shapes and pictures in Slides and Vector get more of their actions in the right-click menu. In Docs, tables, pictures, charts and equations get a right-click menu of their own
Accent colors — calendars, labels, collaborators' cursors and now charts take their colors in a new order. It starts with Eigen's pink, and colors next to each other are easy to tell apart, also for color-blind readers. Collaborators' cursors take new colors
Clear formatting — in Docs it keeps comments and links, and ⌘\ runs it
Server memory — an open document's live connection holds about 8 KB of the server's memory while idle, where it held about 189 KB

Fixed

Access — when someone changes your access to a document you have open in Docs, the editor follows right away: it turns read-only when you lose write access, and editable when you get it. This holds for a change on a folder above the document or on its drive too
Team drives — edits made in an open document stay saved when an admin gives its team drive new storage or turns the drive off
Settings — two settings changes saved at the same moment both stick, and neither shows an error
Links in Docs — a collaborator's edit or an undo no longer turns a file name like plan.md into a link
Wrapped images in Docs — a wrapped image leaves room for the text and lists beside it
Tables in Word downloads — a table you download as Word and import again keeps its column widths. This holds for a table inside a cell and for a table without set widths too
Copying from Sheets — cells you paste into another app keep their rows and columns
Pasting in Sheets — a pasted cell keeps its font, or takes the closest one Eigen has
Keys in Sheets — Tab and Ctrl+arrow move the way they do in Excel and Google Sheets
Mixed formatting in Sheets — a cell with more than one format in its text, such as one bold word, counts in sorting, filters and formulas
Formulas in Sheets — INDEX, TEXT, FIND, SEARCH and a skipped argument, as in SUM(1,,2), give the answers Excel gives. Insert function and autocomplete offer only functions that calculate
Newer Excel functions — IFS, IFNA, XLOOKUP and Excel's other newer functions in an imported file calculate, where they failed. An Excel download writes them so Excel calculates them too
Images in Sheets — Delete removes a selected image, and an image that failed to load can be selected and deleted too
Hidden sheets in downloads — a web page or PDF download of a spreadsheet leaves out its hidden sheets, as Excel prints them
Empty sheets in downloads — an empty tab prints no blank page
Slides and Vector PDFs — a PDF of a deck or a drawing prints all of its text and every see-through shape
Blank lines in text boxes — a blank line in a Slides or Vector text box keeps its height in downloads and previews
Dragging shapes — in Slides and Vector, dragging a shape moves it even while text on the page is selected, instead of dragging that text
Renaming and moving — on local storage, a rename or move that fails leaves the file under its old name, instead of out of reach. An upload waiting behind a rename no longer writes over the renamed file
Trash — on local storage, a trash or restore that failed or was cut short by a crash finishes when you try it again, instead of leaving the file out of reach
Trash — a file you restore while the Trash is being emptied either comes back or is reported gone. It is never reported restored and then deleted
Trash — emptying the Trash finishes when it holds a folder and items trashed from inside it, instead of stopping halfway
Trash — a drive that closes while it clears out expired trash leaves no deleted files behind in its S3 bucket
Trash — someone who opens a document while you trash it waits and then finds it in the Trash, instead of typing edits that are lost
Trash — a chat in the trash restores with all its messages, even after someone tried to open it there
Sharing — an item in the trash is closed to everyone you shared it with, and nobody can share it on from there. Restoring it gives them the same access again
Trash — a file you create, upload, copy or move into a folder while someone trashes it is refused as not found. It no longer stays live inside the trashed folder
Trash — deleting a folder for good also takes the items you trashed from inside it off every open Trash view, and tells the people who watched them
Sharing — a trash that fails, such as when storage is down, leaves the item in your collaborators' Shared with me
Sharing — someone you remove from an item while it is renamed or restored stays removed from their Shared with me
Sharing — moving an item needs edit access to the folder it leaves, as renaming it does. Someone who can edit only the item can't take it out of your folder
WebDAV — a file or folder you have no access to answers the same as one that doesn't exist, so nobody can guess the names in your drive
Guests — a guest can't send mail to a file's collaborators, as a guest can't share. The File menu and Drive don't offer them Email collaborators
Copying documents — opening a copy of a document before the copy is done waits for it. The copy then finishes with all of its content, instead of stopping halfway with an empty document
Uploads — two files of one name created in one folder at the same moment, such as two uploads, keep the first file's contents on local storage. The second is refused as a duplicate
Uploads — on S3 storage, a file added to a folder someone deletes for good at that moment is refused as not found, and leaves nothing behind in storage
Folder sizes — a folder shows the right size after two moves of a file in it at the same moment
Large files — a file too large for the server's memory to import, export, preview or index is refused, instead of taking the server down
Calendar — looking up the calendar of a guest or of the organization answers that you have no access, instead of failing with a server error
Calendar — looking up the calendar of an account that doesn't exist answers the same as one you can't see, so it doesn't tell which accounts exist
Excel theme colors — a lighter or darker shade of a theme color, such as Text 2, Lighter 40%, comes into Sheets in the color Excel shows. A file you imported before keeps its old colors until you import it again
Very large spreadsheets — a web page download of a spreadsheet draws up to 250,000 cells, shared by its sheets in tab order, instead of running until the export fails. A sheet cut short keeps one PDF page of columns, or more when all its rows fit, then the rows that fit. A sheet with too few cells left is left out. A PDF download is cut the same way, but a PDF of a very large spreadsheet can still fail
Merged cells in spreadsheet downloads — a merged cell over a hidden row or column keeps the table's columns in line in the web page, PDF and preview, and shows its text and its outer border even when its first or last row or column is hidden
Long code blocks — a Docs code block longer than about 65,000 characters, with no language set, downloads at once without syntax colors, instead of stalling the export

[0.3.3] - 2026-10-13

Eigen reads and writes Word files itself, and Docs gets Google Docs' menus, with page breaks, Title and Subtitle, small caps, word count and resizable table columns. The update migrates each user's mail index, mail.db, and an older version can't open the migrated one. To go back, restore the backup the update made: run ./eigen rollback right after the update, or later ./eigen restore with the server-pre-update- backup that ./eigen rollback --help lists. Reload open documents after the update: a tab still on 0.3.2 deletes the page breaks, titles and subtitles it receives.

Added

Docs menus — Format and Insert are always on screen when you can edit, with the submenus Google Docs has. Edit and Tools join them
Page break — Insert → Page break or ⌘Enter starts a new page in print, PDF and Word, and a Word file's page breaks come in
Paragraph styles — Title, Subtitle, Heading 5 and Heading 6. They survive a trip to Word and back
All caps and Small caps — under Format → Text, ⌘⇧A for all caps. PDF, Word and paste keep them
Word count — Tools → Word count or ⌘⇧C, for viewers too
Lists and alignment — five numbered styles and Restart numbering under Format → Bullets and numbering, and Justified in the Align menu (⌘⇧J)
Tables and images — drag a column border to resize it, or Distribute columns. The Image panel has a Width field, and Shift+arrows resize a selected image
Page setup — File → Page setup… shows the page every document uses: A4 with 2 cm margins
Mail — a message opens without the images it would load from the internet, so its sender can't tell when you read it. Load images shows them for that message
Command palette — ⌘K offers Download as in each format of the open document's File → Download menu
Teams — an access request on a team's drive reaches the team's members, by notification and email, unless Notify members is off on the team's Admin page

Changed

Word export — Eigen writes the .docx itself: fonts embedded, figures with their wrap and caption, lists with their start and style, task boxes, code blocks, quotes, page breaks and pasted images. Images go in as PNG or JPEG, without their EXIF data
Word import — Eigen reads the .docx itself instead of through a third-party library. SmartArt text and chart titles come in, East Asian and right-to-left text gets its fonts, wide tables fit the page, and a password-protected file says so. Imported images count toward the drive's storage
Docs toolbar — the icon row folds into the menus as the window narrows. Strikethrough, code, superscript, subscript, quote, line and table live in the menus
Docs look — Heading 5 and 6 draw in Google's grey at body size, Heading 6 in italics. The page stays light in dark mode, in quick look and thumbnails too
Copy and paste in Docs — a paste from another document keeps its formatting and images and drops its comments. A pasted font like Georgia becomes the bundled one
Sheets import — a workbook with more than 10,000 merged ranges, 500 sheets or about 2 million rows is refused as too large
Notifications — the bell keeps every unread notification, not only those among the newest 50. The new-mail notification goes read once the inbox has no unread mail
Mail — a reply marks the message it answers as answered, also when sent later from Drafts, and the mail list shows a reply arrow. A reply or forward quotes the message's text and links, never its images
Calendar — removing every guest from one occurrence of a series keeps the series' guests, and the event dialog says so. To leave them out, remove that occurrence
Contacts — when a contact changes elsewhere while you edit it, the form keeps your edits and offers Reload. A label name takes at most 100 characters
Limits — WebDAV stores at most 64 KB of properties and 32 locks per file, and a chunked WebDAV upload stops at the max upload size and at what is left of the drive. One share request adds at most 100 people
Server settings — Max Upload stops at 1023 MB, since a larger upload was refused anyway. A Trash Retention of 0 keeps deleted files until the Trash is emptied
Storage quotas — a drive has one limit, whoever uploads into it: its owner's team overrides raise it, never the uploader's
Admin — the Guests page shows each guest's name, email and when they were last active
Mail ports — 25, 465, 587 and 993 listen on IPv4 only: mail apps and other mail servers reach them over IPv4. 465 and 587 allow 20 sign-in attempts and 60 messages a minute per client IP
S3 — a read retries three times on throttling or a server error before it fails
Deleting a user — also deletes the safety copies a restore left of their data, and their files in S3 buckets. A second server restored from a backup of this one must never run on the same bucket
./eigen update — makes a Full backup first, without asking, when a release migrates a database a Light backup leaves out. ./eigen stop waits for a running backup and its upload
./eigen rollback — its --help, and its refusal when there is nothing to roll back, list the kept pre-update backups
Docker image — the API image is about 340 MB smaller. A source install needs WeasyPrint 68 or later for PDF export

Fixed

PDF export — bold text and headings print bold again, a centered figure stays centered, a numbered list keeps its start number and a colored link its color, and an open task under a done one is no longer struck through
Docs editor — lettered and roman lists draw again, the toolbar follows the cursor, a selected image drags again, the Image panel stays open while you use it, and Replace image no longer replaces another figure
Safari — a document or board no longer reconnects without end and never loads
Storage — on local storage, creating a file in a folder deleted meanwhile no longer overwrites a file of that name at the drive's root. A save into a file trashed meanwhile is refused, and of two saves of a text file from one version, the second gets a conflict
Calendar invitations — an occurrence without a guest list of its own goes out with the series' guests. Cancelling or deleting a moved occurrence cancels its moved time for its guests, and putting a cancelled occurrence back sends no cancellation
Calendar editing — someone the owner shared a calendar with for editing can edit the owner's own events, and an event a member organized on a team calendar stays editable
Backups — a restore gives each mail message its own date again. An item whose name a file cannot have is left out with a warning instead of failing the backup, and a file overwritten during a backup is archived as it was copied. Verify warnings show on the backup's row in Admin
Mail — a row in Sent names the recipient instead of you, and an attachment loads right after a mail client changes its message's flags
Lists — dragging a row that is not selected drags that row, and Space and Enter after Select All act on the top selected row
Previews — an image no longer flashes a checkerboard before the full image, an .eml quick look keeps the message's layout, and an .ics with too many events is refused
Images — an image in a document or sheet whose file is gone shows as missing, and a Word import's images load on S3 without a reload
Small fixes — Escape in a suggestion list inside a dialog closes only the list. ⌘P with nothing to print prints the page. ./eigen restart repairs the launcher after an interrupted update. A WebDAV PROPPATCH with a refused change saves nothing. A CalDAV query for one UID answers with that event. A guest who opens a file they cannot see is told to ask the owner. An access request mails the owner at most once an hour. Restoring a spreadsheet version saved in an older format is refused instead of locking its editors. Scrolling back in chat no longer skips messages sent in the same second. An imported vCard with your address no longer becomes your own card. A malformed stickies column no longer breaks the board. Edits recovered after an unclean shutdown get a version. With mail turned off, a user's kept mail still counts toward their storage. Finder can save into a full drive over WebDAV. An HTML mail's preview line no longer shows a tracking-pixel address

Security

Mail relay — Postfix and OpenDKIM trusted the Docker network's gateway, which the host, Docker Desktop, rootless Docker and every IPv6 client arrive from. Such a client could send mail through port 25 without a login and get mail from your domain DKIM-signed, and the API trusted it too. A program on the host that sent through localhost:25 now gets "Relay access denied": send through 587 with a login
Team mounts — only team admins see a team's mount settings, S3 secret included, where every member could
PDF export — the renderer opens only data: URIs, so a link in a document can no longer make the server fetch a URL or a local file into the PDF
Exports and previews — HTML exports carry a Content-Security-Policy, an SVG can no longer make Firefox load outside URLs, and a sheet cell's color can no longer inject CSS
Chat search — Drive's search index of a chat no longer holds the text of whispers
Imports — a small crafted .docx or .xlsx can no longer take gigabytes of memory or minutes of CPU, and a slow SVG can no longer hold a thumbnail worker

[0.3.2] - 2026-10-05

Fixes from a restore drill, and the same edge spacing across the apps. An install still on 0.3.0 updates to 0.3.1 first: ./eigen update 0.3.1, then ./eigen update.

Changed

Layout — lists, toolbars and panes keep the same space at their edges, more of it from tablet size up, so dates and menus clear the scrollbar. The sidebar and the app switcher keep less, and Contacts' letters sit over the avatars
Setup — Complete Setup stays clickable, so the browser names a missing field. Each storage choice says what it means, and the sender name shows the organization name until you type one
Admin — a user created on the Users page joins the team named after the organization and gets what was shared with it. The create button is labelled Create User
.env.production — ./eigen restart picks up an edit made while Eigen runs. Until then, ./eigen update and ./eigen backup refuse, since the backup would hold the old file

Fixed

Mail — Enter in To, Cc, Bcc or Subject no longer sends the mail. In Subject it moves on to the message
Drive — opening a document without editing it leaves its Modified time alone
Setup — files go under the S3 prefix you set instead of the bucket's root, and Go to Login opens the sign-in page
Rollback — the backup ./eigen rollback restores is kept when it was made with warnings
Restore — it offers to delete what it kept aside only when it kept something. The installer, run with restore in a folder that already has an install, tells you to run ./eigen restore there
Small fixes — the landing page no longer logs a Content-Security-Policy error, an IMAP or DAV sign-in with the account password no longer logs an API key error, and update notes show links as text

[0.3.1] - 2026-10-02

Whole-server backup and restore. Eigen backs up the whole server every night while it runs, can copy each backup to a bucket of its own, and puts one back with ./eigen restore, on the same machine or a new one. The steps are in the help center's Self-hosting section. Close every open document before you update from 0.3.0: an edit that has not reached the server is lost, offline edits included.

Added

Nightly whole-server backup — the owner turns it on in Settings → Backups: every user and team, the settings and databases, .env.production and the mail keys, newest seven kept. Back up now makes one by hand
Backup bucket — each backup can also go to a private S3 bucket of its own. Keep its keys off the server: a new machine starts from them
Backup alerts — the owner is notified, and ./eigen status shows it, when a backup fails, misses the bucket or has warnings. A user or team with files gone from storage is backed up without them
Restore — ./eigen restore <backup> puts a server backup back and keeps the old data aside. On a new machine, run curl -fsSL https://eigen.is/install | sh -s -- restore <backup>. Settings → Backups shows both commands
One user or team — restores from their Admin page out of a server backup
Download original image — on every image in docs, sheets, slides and vector, for viewers too. Images in documents take comments
Font licenses — the licenses page lists the bundled fonts with their OFL 1.1 text

Changed

Backups (breaking) — ./eigen backup writes to backups/ instead of snapshots/ and needs Eigen running: drop any cron step that stops Eigen, and drop --keep, which now makes no backup. Snapshots in snapshots/ no longer restore
Update and rollback — ./eigen update backs up first and refuses while Eigen is stopped. ./eigen rollback puts that backup back with its version. After a restore, open tabs reload once
Setup — answer the mail domain question with the domain you already have email on. With mail off and no relay, setup warns that sign-in codes and invitations cannot go out
Mail containers — Dovecot and Postfix warn instead of failing when they cannot share the TLS or DKIM key with group 1000. The DKIM record prints on one line
.env.production — becomes mode 0640 for group 1000, so a backup can hold it
Slides — a slide menu on each thumbnail and on empty canvas replaces the + button. 9 opens the image picker in slides and vector
Imports and exports — every one shows a progress dialog
Mail — the list takes the full width while no mail is open
Chat — a guest can no longer invite people to a chat

Fixed

Backups — a file renamed, moved, trashed or deleted during a backup no longer fails it, nor does a trashed file on a drive that stores files by name. Verify passes such a backup
Storage — a save that races a folder rename is no longer lost, a stalled S3 bucket times out, and a document whose stored data is gone says so and offers version history
Mail — a send with no recipients says "Add at least one recipient" and keeps the draft open. A link to a deleted mail says "Email not found"
Copy and paste — a pasted image loads in docs and sheets, a vector or slides text box keeps its fonts in docs, and a refused copy says why
Previews — a text file over 1 MiB says it is too large instead of spinning, a .vcf, .ics or .eml stored as text opens, and quick look keeps its keys over a stickies card
Uploads — WebDAV holds an upload to the max upload size, and the help center's nginx snippet no longer caps uploads at 1 MB
Small fixes — a resolved comment thread stays resolved, Postfix waits for its certificate on a first boot, and a sheet viewer gets no hand cursor over a dropdown it cannot use

[0.3.0] - 2026-09-25

Self-hosting release. Eigen now installs from prebuilt images with one line, and the ./eigen launcher updates, rolls back and backs up the server. Slides use the same canvas as eigen|vector>. Mail, calendar and contacts keep exactly what your mail, calendar and contacts apps write, and .eml, .ics and .vcf files open and import everywhere a file shows up. The findings of the September security audit are fixed.

Breaking — calendars, contacts, slides and vector drawings don't carry their data over from 0.2.0 (breaking). Events and contact books are dropped, decks open empty, and drawings lose their plain text and fills.

Added

One-line install — curl -fsSL https://eigen.is/install | sh downloads the ./eigen launcher and runs setup. The host needs Docker and Compose, nothing else. Setup explains its questions, lists the DNS records you need, and ends with a one-time link to the wizard
Release images — five images on GHCR, for amd64 and arm64, pinned by digest in .env.production. The resolver is Eigen's own unbound image
./eigen launcher — update downloads while Eigen runs, takes a snapshot and switches. For a breaking release it shows the notes and asks first. rollback goes back one update. status, logs, restart, stop and reset-password do what they say. update main follows the main branch for people who develop Eigen
Whole-server snapshots — ./eigen backup saves the server to snapshots/, in full or light (databases and settings only), and keeps the last three of each. ./eigen restore swaps one in and keeps the old data aside
Backup per user or team — a Backup section on the admin Users and Teams pages backs up one user or team to a verified archive, without downtime. Verify, download, upload and restore from there. A restore keeps the old data as a safety copy
Admin settings — the organization name, a Server section with version, disk and certificate, and a Mail section with the system sender, Relay sends as users and Send test mail. Admin Users lists past 100 members
Slides on the canvas engine — every drawing element works on a slide: shapes, images, rich text, freehand, lines and arrows. Text is edited in place, and a box grows with its text. The properties panel offers gradient fills, corners, padding, typography and opacity, and with nothing selected it edits the slide background for this slide, this and following, or all. The slide always fits the window. Comments anchor to elements, ⌘F searches text, and presence shows which slide each person is on. Links in present mode open in a new tab without advancing the deck
Quick look for every file — Drive items and the attachments in mail, chat and cards open in the same quick look with the same action menu. Clicking an attachment chip previews it next to the message's other parts, and a mailed video seeks
.eml, .ics and .vcf files — an .eml opens as the message it holds and imports into the inbox. An .ics opens as its events and imports into a calendar you own or a team calendar, from Drive, from a mail or from the calendar sidebar; each calendar exports as one .ics. A .vcf previews as its contacts and imports into Contacts. All three carry their app's icon in Drive
Contacts — Export vCard on any selection, and Import contacts and Export all contacts in the toolbar
Mail — folders an IMAP client created appear under Folders. A lone from: or to: filter searches on its own. postmaster@, abuse@ and noreply@ deliver to the org admins instead of bouncing
Calendar (CalDAV) — a calendar app can delete a calendar, and Integrations lists one address per calendar, because Thunderbird subscribes per calendar. CalDAV is tested end to end against Thunderbird
Offline indicator — every collaborative editor shows when you are offline or the server's storage is out, and asks before you leave with edits that have not reached the server
Sheets — floating images appear in exports and previews. A progress dialog stays up while an Excel or Word file imports
Canvas — image and text boxes draw in the same hand-drawn style as shapes
Keyboard — Delete and Backspace act on the selection in Mail, Contacts and Drive, and document shortcuts pause while a dialog is open
Help center — 25 new articles and a Vector section, with Support links in the app switcher and on the Space landing page
Demo — seeded mail with real attachments and contact cards, chats and comments that link the documents they talk about, and the Mail app stays on without hosted mail

Changed

Calendar and contacts storage (breaking) — events and cards are stored exactly as a client wrote them and served back byte for byte. Calendar data counts toward the storage budget. Existing data is not converted
Mail off is a complete product — without hosted mail the Mail app and its settings disappear, and one SMTP_RELAY_* key set serves both modes: Postfix relays through it, or the API sends through it itself
Owner-only administration — only the owner sees server settings, onboarding, guest access, the waitlist and the S3 secret. The owner cannot be deleted. The wizard no longer asks for a domain
eigen|vector> — text elements are rich text. Shapes get gradient fills, true rounded corners and an optional border. Arrows dock on a shape's real outline. Phones open a drawing view-only
Canvas editing — a run of nudges is one undo step, and so is a typed panel value. The aspect-ratio lock is remembered per element. Copy and paste between apps keep text as text
Sheets numbers — every number shows the way Excel's General format shows it: no rounding noise, long values cut to 11 characters, scientific notation past that. A typed number is stored as a number, and a copy keeps full precision
Sheets — pasted text is read like typed input, Ctrl+D and Ctrl+R copy the whole source cell, conditional-format rules follow Excel on case and blanks, and an imported Excel rule stays one rule. Exports lay out exactly as the screen does
Sharing — deleting an item shared directly with you leaves the share instead of trashing the owner's copy
Activity — a team shows its name instead of an id, links inside content open a new tab, and a file's creation and share rows are kept without an age cap
Mail — a message with thousands of addresses gets its links instantly. Every mail is flushed to disk as it is written. Junk is labeled Spam
Copy — American English, and dates read day-month-year

Fixed

Calendar series — an "all events" edit from a later occurrence shifts the series instead of moving it, a series edit reaches every override, a moved occurrence shows in its new week, and one occurrence deletes on one confirm
Calendar invitations — an edit of one occurrence reaches guests as that occurrence, a new guest gets the series' exceptions, and an event you organize is never locked as someone else's invitation
Calendar time zones — Windows zone names resolve, conversions near DST are correct, and an event without a zone shows in your own
Contacts — editing one value keeps its label, a duplicate card is refused with the holder's name, and one damaged card no longer blocks the address book
Mail — drafts keep nameless attachments and attached invites, a folder an IMAP client recreates gets live updates again, a message opened from a notification no longer stays unread, and a delivery no longer fails on a file system that refuses a directory fsync
Sheets formulas — inserting or deleting rows in one sheet no longer shifts formulas on the others, whole-column ranges survive a shift, errors propagate through operators and comparisons, an overflow is #NUM!, TEXT works, dates no longer land a day early west of Greenwich, and every edit recalculates its dependents
Sheets editing — fills shift formulas correctly and never write into a merged cell, switching sheets closes the editor, and the row and column limits match their message
Canvas — moving a shape re-docks both ends of its arrows, and a missing image draws a placeholder
Collaboration — opening a document on slow storage says so and retries calmly, and large documents sync over slow links because Eigen compresses what it sends
Drive — a copy keeps its thumbnail, a read-only shared folder no longer offers actions it cannot do, and long copies no longer time out and duplicate the tree on retry
WebDAV — moving an item onto itself is refused instead of deleting it, and malformed requests get a 400
Export — a PDF render that hits its time limit returns an error instead of an empty reply
Server — a second API on the same data folder refuses to start, a session started right after setup survives a restart, sign-in retries a missed organization join, and the static gateway forwards the real client IP, so rate limiting is per visitor

Security

Audit of 2026-09-06 — every code-level finding is fixed: self-registration is closed unless open signup is on, comment descriptions and sheet paste are sanitized, previews go through the export sanitizer, presence updates are bounded and bound to the session, HTML mail loses <form>, WebDAV and mail parts are served with nosniff and a sandbox CSP, and ffmpeg runs with a protocol whitelist
iMIP — invitations are processed only from senders whose DKIM signature Eigen verified itself
Headers and trust — every app carries a Content-Security-Policy, the edge sends the security headers, and the mail stack trusts only EIGEN_SUBNET
Setup and relay — the wizard runs only from a one-time link, relay credentials require STARTTLS, and admin impersonation is disabled
Dependencies — DOMPurify, markdown-it, linkify-it and xmldom patched; nodemailer 10, sharp 0.35, better-auth 1.7

[0.2.0] - 2026-09-02

Drawing, contacts sync, and hardening release. Eigen gains a new app, eigen|vector>, a collaborative whiteboard heavily inspired by Excalidraw's impressive work. Contacts are stored as vCard files and served over CardDAV, so phones and desktops sync them the way they already sync calendars. Mail got its own parser, per-recipient document links, and a hardened outbound relay after an abuse incident. Under the hood, every collaborative editor shares one way to load and save, copy and paste, show live cursors and draw.

Added

eigen|vector> — a new collaborative whiteboard app. Shapes, freehand strokes with pen pressure, lines, text and images. Arrows stay bound to the shapes they connect, curved by default, with elbow routing, pinnable segments, heads and labels. There's an eraser, snap lines with align and distribute, live cursors, comments, an activity panel, and tuning for touch and stylus. Drawings export to SVG and PDF, show up in Drive previews and search, and paste into other apps as real images
Contacts over CardDAV — contacts are stored as vCard files and served under /dav/addressbooks, so iOS, macOS, Thunderbird, and other clients sync them two-way. Apple clients edit in place, vCard 4.0 uploads are accepted, labels round-trip as categories, and contact photos become avatars. The Integrations page shows a CardDAV card next to CalDAV, a device setup article walks through each client, and the setup guide documents the _carddavs._tcp / _caldavs._tcp autodiscovery DNS records
Contacts — edit a card straight from the context menu, select several contacts and email or chat with them at once, and the form shows what's wrong and marks only the fields that are required
Mail: send a document link — the share-and-send dialog lists the linked files, gives the recipients read access when you send, and writes each recipient a personal link. When some recipients fail, Eigen tells you which
Mail — outgoing mail carries the envelope, Message-ID and reply headers that other mail apps need, so replies thread correctly everywhere
Admin: Users — a full-width responsive table with per-user storage usage, last sign-in, a guests-only filter, drag-to-team and multi-select, and orphaned accounts merged into the same list
Admin: S3 bucket safety — one click on the S3 storage card enables bucket versioning and a lifecycle rule with safe defaults; the retention period stays editable afterwards
Drive — sort by name, date or size from the column headers. Folders and documents show their real size. Folders group at the top only when you sort by name
Sheets — tick boxes from the Insert menu and the cell's right-click menu, also for a whole column, limited to the rows that hold data. Alt+Down opens a cell's dropdown list. The data-validation hint shows as a card. Imported Excel booleans show as TRUE and FALSE
Slides — live cursors and presence on the canvas, a right-click object menu, an aspect-ratio lock and W×H resize pill, and Alt-drag to duplicate
Demo — the demo instance ships a hand-drawn festival site plan in the vector app

Changed

Sheets border storage (breaking) — cell borders are stored per cell, so two people bordering different cells converge instead of disagreeing forever, and toolbar-drawn borders now survive HTML export and previews. There is no migration: a sheet saved with toolbar-range borders before this release opens blank and read-only with an error banner instead of being overwritten. Sheets without such borders, and sheets whose borders were set per cell, open as before
Canvas editors work alike — docs, slides, stickies and vector share undo, box selection, keyboard shortcuts, live cursors, dropping files, the properties panel, and copy and paste. Elements and images copy and paste between apps at their real aspect ratio, with one undo step per paste
Selection chrome — a thinner selection ring and dashed group bounds across all canvas apps, matching the remote presence rings
Mail parser — Eigen reads mail with its own parser instead of a port of nodemailer's, tested against a set of real-world emails. Three dependencies are gone. Address groups are flattened in reply-all and in the header rows, and the message body reads left-aligned at one unified width
Mail — an empty message is refused instead of going out as "(No subject)", cleared recipients stay cleared when a draft is reopened, and the send button shows it's busy while Eigen checks who can open the linked files
Sheets — conditional-format rules have human names and dialog titles, row and column resize is exact, the range picker sits under its cell at its old width, the dropdown chevron is always painted, the selection's move band and fill handle are easier to grab, and the sheet no longer carries a locale layer
Calendar (CalDAV) — calendar apps see that you own your calendars and can write to them, so Apple's apps edit events in place instead of creating duplicates. MKCALENDAR uses the URL the app chose. A sync token ahead of the calendar is refused. The well-known DAV redirects work
Thumbnails — animated images take their first frame, oversized images are skipped instead of exhausting the server, and thumbnail jobs no longer share temporary files
Docs — pasted prose keeps its alignment, and the toolbar menus share one shell with slides and vector
Server — a database newer than the running binary's schema is refused instead of opened, and a wrong data-dir argument fails with a clear error

Fixed

Sheets — text in cells, formulas and sheet names is escaped before the grid draws it. IFERROR catches errors from operators too, as in IFERROR(1/0, 0). TRUE, FALSE and NULL work in any case. F4 keeps cycling on absolute whole-row ranges. Ctrl+Shift+F stays in the workbook you pressed it in. Hidden columns no longer get filter buttons. Formula conditional-format rules stop at the last row. A tick box no longer hides values it doesn't recognize, and doesn't toggle while you type a formula. An invalid data-validation rule is refused instead of applied. A sheet that fails to load says so instead of showing a blank grid
Mail — escaped characters in a mail's plain text decode correctly. Space freed by deleting mail counts toward your quota right away. The draft stays editable when you cancel share-and-send. The email header stays full width on wide screens
Calendar — a deleted event that's created again syncs instead of staying deleted. An invitation received again and an event moved back show up again. Calendar apps notice a received invitation, and an app asking for one event gets it
Contacts — birthdays keep the picked date in every timezone. Saving a form that someone else changed meanwhile is refused instead of overwriting their change. A duplicate label name is refused. A photo that fails to upload fails the save instead of clearing the photo
Drive — copying to a media folder keeps its partial successes, and a missing app URL no longer white-screens the app
Stickies — a card with only a title keeps room for a description, and a card's light edge shows only where the card is visible
Admin — long names and emails truncate in person lists instead of overflowing
Server — a failed write leaves no temporary file behind, a finished write survives a crash, and databases close cleanly
Docker — a host dev API on port 8000 no longer conflicts with the docker stack

Security

Outbound mail relay — hardened after the abuse incident of 2026-08-31. A signed-in sender may only send as themselves. Failed logins count toward the per-IP limit and show up as auth failures for fail2ban. A fail2ban filter and jail ship with the Docker stack, and update.sh turns them back on after a rebuild. The organization owner is notified when outgoing mail backs up in the queue
Input limits — CalDAV and CardDAV requests have a size limit, 5 MiB for a card. The last email fields without a limit have one. The files linked in a sent mail are capped and counted once. Control characters are refused in vCards and DAV requests
SVG serving — a drawing's SVG carries its images inside it, safely, and an image named in a document only loads for the document it belongs to
Access checks — the access check for a link shared by email skips addresses that can't be given access. A user's own account can't be claimed by another account with the same email
Conditional writes — a contact form opened before someone else's change can't overwrite it

[0.1.1] - 2026-08-13

Mobile and reliability release. Every app works on a phone, with column navigation and back arrows, touch context menus, collapsing toolbars, and comment and activity panels on small screens. Under the hood, every preview, export, and import moved into sandboxed background workers with hard deadlines, spreadsheet exports got an order-of-magnitude speedup, and slow-loading documents no longer spiral into reconnect loops.

Added

Mobile — Eigen works on a phone end to end. Navigation is column-based, with a back arrow in every app. Toolbars fold their controls into a ⋮ menu (sharing, calendar views, drive sort and view, the mail shortcuts cheat sheet). Submenus open as pages of their own, and calendar event and stickies card dialogs fit a phone's width
Touch — long-press opens the context menu everywhere right-click does (drive rows and grid tiles, chat messages, stickies cards, slide thumbnails). Action icons that appear on hover stay visible on touch screens. Drive rows get a ⋮ menu per file, and the details pane gets Move, Copy and Duplicate. Move to trash asks for confirmation on touch devices
Comments and activity on mobile — Docs, Sheets and Slides show their comments and activity panels on small screens. On a phone the panel takes over the editor, and from tablet width up it sits beside it. Docs adds Comment to the mobile Insert menu
Drive quick look — press Space to open and close a preview of the selected file, and step through the list with the arrow keys while it is open
Slides — presentation mode briefly shows an exit button, so you can leave a presentation by touch

Changed

Reliability — every document preview, export (HTML, PDF, XLSX, DOCX), import (XLSX, DOCX) and search indexing job runs in a separate worker with a time limit. One huge or broken file can no longer stall the server for everyone, and a stuck job is stopped and reported instead of hanging forever
Sheets — exporting a large spreadsheet to HTML or PDF is about ten times faster, and the file a fraction of the size. Previews and search read stored values instead of recalculating every formula, so a sheet full of formulas can no longer time out its own preview. Sheets are saved in a smaller format that opens faster over a slow connection. Inserting rows and columns, filtering and copying are faster in large sheets
Opening documents — a document that takes long to load (a huge spreadsheet on a cold server) shows progress instead of connecting and disconnecting over and over. A document you just closed stays loaded on the server for a minute, so reopening it is instant
Drive — converting an .xlsx or .docx into an Eigen document shows a progress dialog, and the conversion finishes on the server even if you navigate away
App icon — a redesigned, bolder app icon, including the Safari pinned-tab icon

Fixed

Dark mode — the document page, the slides canvas and the sheets formula bar always stay light, so content reads the way it prints
Printing — printed documents no longer show collaborator cursors, selections, search highlights, or comment markers
Mail — wide HTML emails scale to fit on a phone instead of overflowing. Message bodies use the app's font. A calendar invitation that fails to load says so instead of failing quietly. Actions on several messages report exactly what succeeded. The message list no longer takes keyboard focus while the composer is open
Calendar — moving an event to another calendar happens in one step on the server, and asks first when the move would lose data. The edit dialog's repeat options no longer shift the start date by a day in some timezones. All-day date fields stay readable on narrow screens
Sheets — viewers can't edit through menus or shortcuts, and they see rows and columns that others insert or delete without a reload. Color pickers in menus are submenus and no longer send keystrokes to the grid. The grid resizes when a side panel opens. Headers, sheet tabs and pickers work by keyboard and touch
Slides — editing shortcuts no longer reach the deck while presenting, and slide thumbnails on mobile are view-only
Chat — with a mouse, messages show their action icons on hover again (on touch, long-press keeps its menu), and guests no longer see a storage bar
Drive — Cancel in the inline text editor asks before discarding unsaved changes, and deleting a selection that spans your drive and a team drive moves every item to trash
Dialogs — confirmation dialogs for delete, move and save wait for their action to finish, and show a failure instead of closing early
Imports — importing a .docx a second time updates its images instead of failing
Accessibility — comment color and assignee pickers work by keyboard, and chat, contact, and slide-object actions are reachable by touch
Landing page — a rejected waitlist signup no longer locks the join form, and social-media link previews use the server's real domain
Installed app — navigation between apps works when Eigen is installed to the home screen or dock as a web app

Security

Imports — a .docx file is refused when it unpacks to more than a set size (zip-bomb protection), and write permission is checked again when an import finishes, not only when it starts

[0.1.0] - 2026-07-19

Search, mail and collaboration release. Find and replace inside every editor, and search through the content of files in Drive, a much faster Mail with Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts, comment assignment with live activity panels in the editors, a Drive grid view, a guided new-chat wizard, team avatars, a public demo, a monochrome dark theme, and the fixes from two security audits.

Added

Find and replace — press Mod+F in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Stickies for a find bar that highlights matches and steps through them. Mod+Alt+F opens replace and replace all, which keeps each match's capitals. The command palette gets a doc: scope that finds matches in the open document, its comment threads included. Opening a search result highlights the match and scrolls to it, in documents and mail alike. The text editor in Drive gets the same find bar
Search — Drive search looks inside files, not only at their names. Documents, sheets, slides, boards, chats and plain-text files are indexed in the background, and a match on the name ranks above a match in the content
Mail — Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts. Move through and select messages, archive, delete and reply, with auto-advance to the next message. Undo the last action with z and send with Mod+Enter. Press ? for the full list, and turn shortcuts or auto-advance off in settings. Flagged messages show a star in the list
Comment assignment — assign a comment card to a person in Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Stickies (in Sheets from the cell's comment menu). The assignee is notified and shown on the card. Filter comments by assignee, color and status, per panel, or for the whole board in Stickies
Activity in editors — the Recent Activity timeline from Drive opens inside Docs, Sheets, Slides and Stickies from an Activity button next to sharing. It updates live while the document is open, and every row links to what it describes
New-chat wizard — starting a chat is a two-step dialog. Pick the people (anyone you can share with, or a whole team), then name the chat and choose where it lives. If a chat with exactly those members exists, it opens instead of a duplicate, and "Create new chat" still makes a new one. Team chats go in a chats folder on the team drive. Members with an account no longer get an email about the share (invitees without one still do). The wizard opens from the chat sidebar, Drive's + New menu, and a new Start chat action on contacts and team members
Drive views — switch between a list and a grid of thumbnails, and sort by name, modified or size. Drive remembers your choice. Grid tiles work with the keyboard, can be dragged onto folders and show unread badges. Trash gets the same views, sorting and multi-select
Team drives everywhere — the per-type views (Documents, Sheets, and so on), search, the Watched view and the chat sidebar include your team drives next to your personal drive
Sheets — live cursors. Everyone editing a shared sheet sees the others' selections in their color, with name labels as in Docs
Sheets — while editing a formula, F4 cycles the reference under the cursor through absolute and relative forms
Mail — paste files or images from the clipboard straight into the composer as attachments
Teams — team avatars. Upload an image for a team on its Admin page and it shows wherever the team appears. Profile, contact and team pictures use the same avatar editor
Demo mode — a server can run as a public demo that resets itself. Visitors press "Enter demo" and land in a sample festival workspace as one of its members, with a warning banner and outgoing mail turned off. It runs at demo.eigen.is
Landing page — admins can add their own link buttons (a title and a URL) to the landing page from Server Settings
Marketing site — a /changelog page generated from this file, linked from the site footer and the app's About dialog
Chat — new /whoami and /hide slash commands

Changed

Dark mode — a monochrome dark theme. Cards, popovers and dialogs stand out from the background, scrollbars follow the theme, and note cards match the mail list. The spreadsheet grid stays white, so sheets read as sheets. The app-colored topbar option is gone
Mail — large mailboxes are fast. The message list loads in pages, and moving, reading, flagging and deleting apply at once and sync in the background. Syncing a mailbox no longer blocks the list, and search runs on the server. Unread rows show a dot instead of a border
Notifications — look like the rows in Recent Activity. Each one says who did what to what, a chat notification previews the message, and every row links to the exact card, comment or email. Notification links open in the same tab
People — every place that shows a user shows their display name, with a card on hover: chat authors, @-mentions and their suggestions, "Created by" lines and activity rows
Sheets — editing recalculates only the cells that depend on the change instead of the whole workbook, keeping large sheets responsive while typing
Uploads — an upload streams straight to disk, so a large one no longer takes its full size in server memory
Drive — empty folders and views explain what belongs there and how to add it. A file you already viewed isn't downloaded again unless it changed

Fixed

Docs, Slides and Sheets — an image you insert no longer vanishes right after it uploads
Sheets — imported spreadsheets that were never opened compute their formulas on the server, so previews and exports show values instead of blanks. Imported m and M date formats read as months or minutes correctly
Sheets — the selection's sum and count read each cell's real value, so formatted cells add up correctly. Drag-fill keeps the number format in every direction. = and <> ignore case, as in Google Sheets. Sorting follows English alphabetical order. Highlights stop correctly at frozen rows and columns. Collaborators' cursors stay after you switch sheets
Mail — a moved or deleted message shows up in its new mailbox without a reload. The list scrolls back to the top when you change mailbox or search, and search gets a clear button. An inbox opened from a notification no longer gets stuck empty. A message you just moved no longer drops out of the list during a sync
Calendar — events no longer disappear from the 25-hour day when daylight saving time ends, and a local time that occurs twice resolves as RFC 5545 says. The calendar link in invitation emails opens the right month instead of the year 57479
CalDAV — a deleted occurrence is sent as an EXDATE, so an edit in a calendar app can't bring it back. Older stored events load instead of failing. Several edge cases in edited occurrences (time zones, floating times) are fixed for apps like Thunderbird
Chat — a very tall new message scrolls into view. With no personal chats, the first team chat opens
Drive — a .txt preview shows readable paragraphs, as .md does. A file name with accents no longer appears twice. Files on a team drive open from the per-type views and sidebar links
Contacts — the contact and team-member detail views behave the same, and Edit/Delete are hidden when they don't apply instead of shown disabled
Admin — deleting a user removes everything tied to the account, whichever way you delete it. Some ways left team memberships behind
Self-hosting — the bundled Caddy revalidates the app shell on every load and reloads its config after an update, so a new version is picked up immediately instead of serving a stale page
Reliability — more storage hardening. An upload to S3-compatible storage that timed out halfway is found and repaired. A damaged copy waiting to upload is refused. Two files created with the same name at the same moment can no longer both exist. Opening and closing databases under load no longer races

Security

Admin — a signed-in user could create their own organization and pass the server's admin check. Admin rights now belong to the server's organization only, and users can't create organizations
Protocol sign-in — an account with 2FA can no longer be reached over IMAP, CalDAV or WebDAV with only its email and password: use an app password. Sign-in attempts over these protocols are rate-limited, and a valid app password is never blocked by that limit
Exports — slides and sheets HTML exports escape untrusted styling (a stored-XSS vector), and PDF export can no longer be steered into fetching internal URLs
Calendar — an update or delete checks that the event belongs to its calendar. Incoming invitation mail (iMIP) must match its envelope sender, checks time zone ids, ignores replayed cancellations and applies replies to the right occurrence. A repeating event can only expand so far
Server — internal API endpoints can't be reached through the reverse proxy. A client can no longer fake its address with forwarded headers to dodge rate limits. API documentation and timing headers are off in production, and WebSocket messages have a size limit
Sheets — a crafted .xlsx file with forged headers or oversized contents is refused, with hard limits on unpacked size and cell count
Mail — the mail parser is hardened against hostile input, with limits on parts and extracted text, and tested with generated hostile mail
Chat — deleting a chat attachment is confined to that chat's own media folder

[0.0.6] - 2026-06-25

Activity and history release. A timeline per file with file and folder watching, copy, move and duplicate across drives, attachments on comment cards, a big spreadsheet import-fidelity pass, a filled-out help center, and a visual refresh, plus data-loss hardening for remote storage.

Added

File activity and history — every file in Drive keeps a timeline of what happened to it (created, uploaded, edited, renamed, moved, copied, commented) and who did it. It shows in a Recent Activity panel in the file's details. Edits and comments in a shared document are credited to the people who made them
File and folder watching — watch a file or folder to be notified when it changes. Watching a folder covers everything inside it. A new Watched view lists everything you watch, and a burst of changes becomes one notification
Copy, move and duplicate — right-click a file, a folder or a selection in Drive for Move to…, Copy to… or Duplicate. Copy works anywhere, also across storage locations and into team drives. Move stays within a drive. A folder copies with everything in it, and a document copies as a separate document that works on its own
Comment attachments — attach files to comment cards in Docs, Slides, Sheets and Stickies, and to chat. Paste or drop files into the card form or the chat input
Sheets — an XLSX import keeps much more: hyperlinks, data-validation rules, conditional formatting, filters, hidden rows and columns, and frozen panes. They survive an XLSX export too
Sheets — a formatting toolbar with font, size, bold and italic. Number formatting gets Google-style custom format dialogs for dates, numbers and currency, and the Format → Number menu matches Google Sheets
Sheets — the column filter menu can filter by condition (text contains, greater than, and so on), not only by picking values
Stickies — resolve a card, and reopen it later; resolved cards show a check
Slides — right-click a slide object for a context menu of its actions
Help center — Eigen Support has 120 articles. Search them on the site, or from the command palette with the new Help scope
Drive — video and audio scrub instantly in the preview, and an interrupted download can resume
Marketing site — a new /licenses page lists the open-source software Eigen is built on

Changed

Visual refresh — a new app switcher, a grid of large app-colored icons with names. Lighter font weights across the apps, Drive file icons tinted by app, an animated eigen|app> wordmark on the landing page and Space home, and a topbar that can be app-colored or neutral. Toolbar titles are lighter, toolbar borders fade in as you scroll, and the Drive, Trash and Calendar layouts are tidier
Landing page — the landing page is prerendered, so it shows instantly and search engines read it better. Signed-in visitors go straight into the app
Sheets — inserting or deleting rows and columns no longer sends the whole sheet, so large sheets stay responsive

Fixed

Mail — deleting an email in Trash from the message toolbar asks for confirmation and deletes it for good, instead of doing nothing
Mail — an HTML email made for a light background stays on a light background in dark mode, so it stays readable. Unread senders are bolder. A mailbox that fails to load says so instead of showing "no emails"
Drive — the preview's next/previous arrows work again for files opened from the Shared and file-type views
Slides — on medium-width screens the editing controls (undo/redo and add slide/text/image) stay reachable through an Edit menu instead of disappearing
Sheets — imported dates render through their number format, an unknown filter condition matches every row instead of hiding them all, and cell focus returns when a context menu closes
Accessibility — buttons with only an icon have names for screen readers and work by keyboard. Tall popovers and menus fit the window and scroll instead of being cut off
Reliability — uploads to S3-compatible storage finish in the background, so slow or failing storage means a retry later instead of a hung or failed request, without losing data. Databases recovered after a crash are synced again, and a stored document is never overwritten with an empty or broken copy. This continues the storage hardening of 0.0.5

Security

Drive — a team's mount list is no longer readable by non-members
Drive — files shown in the browser carry nosniff and a sandbox CSP, so an uploaded HTML or SVG file can't run scripts
Auth — a guest's one-time code can't be used twice to create two sessions. Sign-in and 2FA allow 10 tries per minute per IP
Abuse — rate limits count per real client IP behind the reverse proxy (avatars don't count), which fixes a lockout of the whole server
Calendar — canceled events don't count as busy, and a replayed iMIP invitation (an old sequence number) is ignored
Sheets — a link in a cell opens only for allowed schemes, with noopener, and a crafted link can't stall the parser

[0.0.5] - 2026-06-04

Version history release. Automatic versions you can restore in every collaborative app and in chat, new slide tools (rotate, Alt-drag to duplicate, align and distribute), a fresh look for spreadsheets, and faster storage, previews and boards.

Added

Version history — Docs, Sheets, Slides, Stickies and Chat keep versions automatically. Version history in the File menu lets you browse earlier versions and restore any of them. A restore applies live: everyone with the document open sees the restored content at once, without a reload. Eigen keeps hourly, daily, weekly and monthly versions, so recent history is detailed and older history thins out
Slides — rotate objects with a rotate handle. Hold Shift to snap to common angles, and watch the angle as you turn. Resizing follows the rotation
Slides — hold Alt and drag an object to drop a duplicate
Slides — an Arrange section in the properties sidebar aligns and distributes the selected objects
Admin — when a configured S3 bucket has object versioning disabled or suspended, the storage settings (setup wizard, server settings, and a team's storage locations) warn you and recommend turning on versioning with a lifecycle rule for old versions

Changed

Drive — folders and documents show their real size instead of 0. Eigen works a size out when you need it and keeps it until something inside changes
Sheets — a new look for the formula bar, the column and row headers, the area around the grid and the bottom bar. Theme colors throughout, an accent color on highlighted headers, and one compact bar with the sheet tabs and the selection's Count, Sum and Average. The all-sheets list shows a color dot for sheets with a color
Slides, Stickies, Sheets — canvas and toolbar look like Docs, with rounded canvas corners and the same toolbar height
Stickies — large boards stay smooth: editing one card no longer redraws the whole board
Previews — document, sheet and slide previews show the last saved preview at once and refresh in the background, instead of making you wait the first time you look after an edit
Storage — collaborative documents are compressed on disk, so they grow more slowly

Fixed

Sheets — a formula that reads a cell on another sheet refreshes, even when that row hasn't loaded yet
Calendar — attendee email addresses are validated when added to an event
Reliability — after a storage incident, storage of documents and chats is hardened against data loss: files are created in one step, and a failed sync no longer goes unnoticed

[0.0.4] - 2026-05-28

Search release. A Mod+K command palette that searches Drive and mail, native scrolling in spreadsheets, much faster opening of large spreadsheets, compact file previews, and rich text on sticky cards.

Added

Command palette — press Mod+K (or the topbar search pill) anywhere to search files, mail, and contacts, jump between apps, create documents, and act on the current selection (open, share, rename, download, mail to…). Type an email address, a URL or a contact's name and it offers "Send mail to…" in one press
Search — search the text of Drive files and mail, one kind at a time with file:, mail: or the scope chip that Tab switches. Mail search filters by mailbox and by from: and to:, and leaves out trash and spam unless you ask
Stickies — card descriptions are rich text with task lists. Ticking a box on the board or in the card dialog is saved, and cards show how many tasks are done
Support — a searchable Eigen Support help center on the website, with a guide to mounting your drive over WebDAV
Drive — "Mail to…" in the item context menu opens a mail composer with the file attached

Changed

Sheets — scrolling is native: wheel, trackpad, keyboard, touch and the browser's scrollbar all work directly, in place of the old custom scrolling and thin scrollbars. The grid no longer bounces and tears at its edges
Sheets — a large imported spreadsheet opens much faster: a 16-sheet xlsx that took about 60 seconds shows in a couple of seconds. The sheet is compressed on its way to the browser, so big sheets open much faster over a slow connection
Previews — quick look shows part of a large file (the first sheet, the first 8 slides, the first 20 blocks of a document) with a note to open it for the rest. Downloads and exports stay complete. Text previews are kept longer, and old preview files are cleaned up

Fixed

Sheets (XLSX import) — a file with formatted link cells, such as a Google Sheets export, no longer fails with "not a valid xlsx file"
Sheets — a formula that is only a reference to an empty cell, such as ='Sheet'!B13, gives 0 instead of true
Calendar and UI — month and weekday names are in English, like the rest of Eigen, instead of in the browser's language (Dutch, for example)
Space — the 2FA setup QR code renders again instead of crashing the setup step
Setup — you can run the first-run wizard again after a partial failure, instead of getting stuck on "user already exists"
Admin — team and member action errors show the real message instead of [object Object]
Sidebar — long chat and folder names truncate with an ellipsis instead of forcing a horizontal scrollbar

[0.0.3] - 2026-05-18

Quality release. Video thumbnails, images that show the moment you insert them, one kind of comment card everywhere, a new Drive properties panel, one sidebar across Drive and the document apps, and a cleanup of the spreadsheet engine.

Added

Drive — video thumbnails. An uploaded video gets a still from one second in, and its details show its length. ffmpeg ships in the Docker image. Without it, a video gets no thumbnail and no error
Docs, Slides, Sheets — a dropped or pasted image shows at once, while it uploads. An upload left behind by a crashed tab is cleaned up
Slides — box selection by direction, as in design tools: drag right to select what's fully inside, drag left to select what the box touches
Slides — hold Alt to resize objects from their center, and Shift to keep their proportions
Slides — solid colors and gradients for slide and text box backgrounds, in one panel. It starts with the brand color and keeps your color when you switch between solid and gradient
Slides — gradient backgrounds in PDF downloads
Comments — Docs, Slides, Sheets and Stickies use the same comment card, with its author, date and color. The paperclip button attaches a file from Drive
Drive — a new properties panel with tabs, and the same item menu in the list and in the preview
Drive and the document apps — one sidebar, with each app's accent color, uppercase section labels, and links to the other apps
Toolbars — Slides and Stickies get the shared sharing badge and undo and redo buttons
Stickies — a new card scrolls into view, and board cards have a minimum height
Admin — letter dividers in the members, guests and orphans lists

Changed

Sheets — the comments sidebar sits next to the grid instead of on top of it
Drive — app links come from a separate EIGEN_STATIC_BIND setting while the server runs, which fixes installs where the API and the apps share one address
Drive previews — document and slide thumbnails scale to their real width, and thumbnails of text and code files show an A4 page
Mail — mail settings get their own section in the App settings sidebar
Performance — images load without blocking the page, so every app scrolls and draws more smoothly
Slides — dragging with snapping does less work, so it stays smooth

Fixed

Drive — a new image no longer flashes as broken when its upload finishes
Drive — a missing document says it's not found instead of failing silently
Drive — internal fields no longer show in a file's details
Mail — a broken address inside angle brackets, such as <foo@>, is refused
Comments — the card dialog no longer opens by itself after you add a comment in Docs, Slides and Sheets
Comments — a comment thread is half the window tall again, and "View comment" always has the same icon. In Docs, opening a comment's link again works, and a comment card shows correctly before the document has synced
Comments — other people see a new comment without a reload
Slides — a background fill no longer counts as changed when it isn't
Slides — in the background panel, the "Apply to" list and the "Apply" button have the same height
Admin — Shift+Arrow extends selection in the members list
Chat — a failed edit or delete shows an error
Sheets — closing a sheet on the server can no longer close it twice

[0.0.2] - 2026-05-11

Maintenance release. Email notifications, guest access settings, XLSX import, security hardening, and many spreadsheet fixes.

Added

Sheets — XLSX import. Open an .xlsx file in Drive to convert it into an Eigen sheet, with its values, number formats, formulas, merged cells, borders, fonts, and column and row sizes
Mail — plain http:// and https:// addresses in received mail become links
Admin → Email notifications — four switches for outgoing mail: calendar invitations to guests, mail when someone gets access to a file, file access requests, and mail to a shared file's collaborators
Admin → Guest access — a switch for open signup and the number of inactive days before a guest is removed (by default open signup is on, and guests go after 7 inactive days)
Drive — email the collaborators on a shared file, from a composer that starts with your email signature
Drive — mail goes out for access requests, new access and shares, if the admin switches allow it
Calendar — guests with an Eigen account get an invitation by email, if the calendar invitation switch is on
User — a user or team avatar shows who it is in a popover

Changed

Spreadsheet edits — a value you just typed survives a reload before the next automatic save, and is in an XLSX export too
Mail — share, access request, attachment and collaborator emails share one layout, and file chips look the same in mail, chat and Drive
Mail — a new mail no longer notifies twice
Popovers — no longer cut off at the edge of the window

Fixed

Spreadsheet paste — pasting diagonal borders over a copy of several ranges no longer crashes
Spreadsheet rows and columns — an insert or delete on a read-only range, or a broken one, shows a clear error instead of damaging the sheet
Dialogs — a click that starts inside a dialog and ends outside no longer closes it, for example when you select text past its edge
Composers — chat, mail and Drive composers drop empty lines at the end before they save
Welcome and invite emails — headers with non-English characters show correctly (RFC 2047)
Shared-document emails — the plain-text version includes the document's link
Postfix — DKIM-signs mail relayed from the Docker bridge network
Postfix — delivers to Eigen one recipient at a time
Guest cleanup — waits until setup is done, and repairs a guest's account at every sign-in. Two code requests at once no longer clash
About dialog — shows the build date in a readable format

Security

Mail templates — text a user typed is escaped in welcome and invite emails
Guest sign-in codes — at most 3 requests per email and 10 per IP an hour
Mail body links — open in a new tab with rel="noopener noreferrer"

[0.0.1] - 2026-05-03

First public release. A workspace you host yourself, with email, file storage, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, kanban boards, calendar, contacts and real-time chat. They all share one API, one sign-in and one UI.

Apps

Mail — webmail with full mailbox management. Mail is stored as Maildir++ on disk, with IMAP through Dovecot
Drive — files and folders with sharing, permissions, thumbnails and previews, stored on local disk (as named files or flat keys) or on S3
Docs — collaborative document editor (Tiptap + Yjs); export to DOCX, PDF, and HTML
Sheets — collaborative spreadsheets, on an engine forked from fortune-sheet
Slides — collaborative presentations on a 1920×1080 pixel canvas with presentation mode
Stickies — collaborative kanban boards with per-card embedded chat threads
Calendar — recurring events (RFC 5545 RRULE), invitations with RSVP, shared and team calendars
Contacts — contact management with avatars
Chat — real-time chat with over 100 slash commands, most of them emotes. A chat lives in Drive and is shared like a file, and docs and kanban cards use chats as comment threads
Space — personal account settings, profile, and preferences
Admin — manage the organization, teams, members, roles, quotas and server settings, with a setup wizard for the first run

Protocols

IMAP via Dovecot (Maildir++ co-existing with the web UI on the same filesystem)
CalDAV server with discovery, sync and repeating events, tested with Thunderbird
WebDAV server (RFC 4918 Class 1+2) for Drive mounts
SMTP submission on ports 587/465 with DKIM signing; Postfix handles inbound and outbound

Auth

Email/password with optional TOTP 2FA
App passwords for protocol access (IMAP/CalDAV/WebDAV)
Organizations with teams and role-based admin
Guest access for shared resources

Deployment

Docker Compose stack with optional edge (Caddy) and mail (Postfix, Dovecot, Unbound) profiles. Leave either out when the host already runs its own web server or mail server
bun run setup — an interactive setup of four questions that writes .env.production
Automatic HTTPS via Caddy, automatic DKIM key generation
Backup script and auto-migrating update script
Mail addresses can use another domain (MAIL_DOMAIN) than the web address (DOMAIN)
