Vesper

Writing ​

A new entry ​

The note at the top of the timeline is where you write. Click it, type, and press Save or ⌘ + Enter. The text is Markdown, so **bold**, lists, links and code blocks work.

Under the text is a line for tags. Separate them with spaces, for example daily coffee. An entry can have up to 20 tags of up to 50 characters each.

Photos ​

Add up to four photos to an entry with the image button, by pasting, or by dropping files on the note. JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and HEIC all work; HEIC photos from an iPhone are converted to JPEG in your browser before upload. Each original can be up to 200 MB.

Vesper reads the details the camera stored in each photo and prints them on its border:

  • when it was taken
  • where it was taken, as a place name
  • the camera, lens and exposure

The place name comes from a map service. It is sent the rough area of the photo, never the photo itself. Photos without location data have no place.

Several photos in one entry sit in a stack. Click the stack to bring the next photo to the front, or the button in its corner to see it full size with every detail.

Changing an entry ​

Hover over an entry (or tap it on a phone) to see its actions:

  • Pin keeps it at the top of the timeline.
  • Favorite adds it to Favorites.
  • Edit changes the text and tags. Photos cannot be changed after saving; delete the entry and write it again if you need different photos.
  • Make public, copy the share link, and the platform icons share or post it. See Sharing and Posting to other services.
  • Archive takes it off the timeline without deleting it. Open Archive to find it again and restore it.
  • Delete removes it for good, together with any photo no other entry uses. It asks once more before it goes.

Tags ​

The pencil at the end of the tag bar lets you rename a tag or remove it from every entry at once. Renaming to an existing tag merges the two.
