Superlinea changelog

Superlinea 0.2.1

2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z

Removed

The activation screen no longer displays the Show My Drawings, Send Feedback… or Quit buttons.

Superlinea 0.2.0

2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z

Added

You can now choose where your drawings library lives, so you can backup your files easily. The first time you open the app, you'll be asked to choose a location for the library.

Superlinea 0.1.0

2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z

Added

You can now export the drawing, or just what you have selected, as SVG, PNG or JPG.
Strokes can now be dashed.
Holding Space while you drag to resize a shape now carries the shape instead of resizing it.
Selecting layers is now undoable.

Improved

In outline mode, the marquees follow the shapes' geometry rather than their stroke.
Uniting, intersecting and excluding several shapes at once is now much faster.
The Curvature Circle tool now recognises a wide rounded corner as an arc and draws its circle.

Superlinea 0.0.35

2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z

Improved

Offsetting a group now offsets its shapes as a single outline, styled like the frontmost one. To offset them separately, select the shapes instead of the group.
A group's frame now takes stroke width into account.

Fixed

Pasting now works the same whether you have a group selected or one of the layers inside it.
Pasting a layer into a group no longer leaves it out of view. It now always lands somewhere visible.

Superlinea 0.0.34

2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z

Added

A path collapsed to a single point now keeps a small marker on screen, so you can still see it and click it.

Improved

The pen now resumes selected paths inside groups and compound shapes, picking up the nearest free end.
The radius field now rounds only the corners or sides you have selected in point editing.
The Curvature Circle tool now catches nearby anchors as you hover and when you press and reads the curvature of the shape that owns them.
The Tangent, Perpendicular, Tangent Circle and Curvature Circle tools now affect only the curves inside Focus Mode, and treat everything outside it as bare canvas.
Pasting with children of a single group selected now lands the copy in that group.
It's now possible to align and distribute multiple or all of anchors of a path.

Fixed

Point editing now keeps your selected anchors and their handles when you hold Space to pan.
Zoomed out, pressing on an anchor that a handle knob overlaps now takes the anchor.
The Curvature Circle tool no longer snaps to locked or out-of-focus anchors, so a nearer one you cannot edit no longer hides a valid snap.

Superlinea 0.0.33

2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z

Added

Selected layers now have a rotation pivot you can see and drag. Pro tip: double-click the pivot to put it back in the center.
Angle fields now accept a degree sign (° or º) after any number in an expression, so you can type things like 45° + 10.
Delete and ⌫ now remove the last anchor point while you're drawing with the pen.

Improved

Rotating a layer now snaps to whole degrees instead of fractional ones.
The rotation angle now appears centered at the pivot during regular rotations too, not only when you hold ⌥ to duplicate while rotating.

Superlinea 0.0.32

2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z

Added

Added shortcuts to make the font bold (⌘B) and italic (⌘I).
Rotating a layer with ⌥ to duplicate it now displays the degrees of the rotation.

Improved

Clicking an existing text layer with the Text tool now opens it with the caret where you clicked.
Up and Down, ⌘← and ⌘→, and ⌘⌫ now follow the lines as they are drawn, in point text as well as in wrapped boxes.
Pasting into a selected group or compound shape now lands the copy in place when it already lies over the container.

Fixed

The Tangent tool can now generate tangents between two points of the selected layer.
Flattening a layer now keeps its opacity and blend mode.
Offset path previews no longer end up inside an enclosing boolean when the drawing is saved.
The font search no longer autocompletes, autocorrects or spellchecks what you type.

Accessibility improvements to the text alignment options make it easier to see which one is selected.
Rulers and guides now stay visible in Full Canvas mode.
Distance measurements now appear above size labels so they are always readable.

When you drag a number field's label to change its value, the cursor now stays in place.
After an update, Superlinea now opens in front of your other windows.

Superlinea 0.0.28

2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z

Improved

When a boolean operation’s parent layer or any of its child layers is selected, we paste the copied content inside the boolean operation group and not outside.
Holding ⌘ and tapping a layer inside a boolean operation selects that layer, matching how groups behave.
Selecting a layer inside a boolean operation in the Layers panel highlights it on the canvas.
Selecting a boolean operation’s parent layer also highlights its child layers.

The color pickers now have a list of the colors used in the document.

Fixed

Fixed an issue where pressing Z to zoom in and tapping repeatedly activated A mode.
Fixed cursor visibility when tapping or holding Z, or when holding Space.
Fixed paste placement when the original layer is outside the visible viewport or hidden under a sidebar. In these cases, paste the copy in the center of the visible viewport.
⌘D respects an object’s aspect ratio lock when applying the same resize transformation.
The hit area for selected lines in A mode has been fixed so that it accounts for the zoom level.
Resizing a layer and applying the transformation does not move the object, the transformation now happens in place.
The aspect ratio lock is not carried to the next shape you draw.
