+# Typst Desktop 1.0.0
+
+The first release. A desktop editor for Typst with the compiler built in, so there is nothing else to install.
+
+## Features
+
+### Writing
+
+- Live preview that recompiles as you type, with no need to save
+- The preview follows the file you are editing, not only the entrypoint
+- Syntax highlighting, snippet autocompletion, and inline diagnostics
+- Formatting toolbar and page settings
+- Optional `tinymist` language server support for hover documentation and go to definition
+- Export to PDF
+
+### Files
+
+- Every document is an ordinary file on your drive, readable by any other editor
+- Open a single `.typ` file or a project folder with chapters, bibliography, and assets
+- File explorer with a right-click menu, drag and drop, rename, duplicate, move, and reveal in your file manager
+- Thumbnails showing the first compiled page, and previews for images
+- Full screen image viewer with zoom and folder navigation
+- Autosave, off by default or every 5, 10, or 15 seconds
+
+### Fonts and images
+
+- Import from anywhere on disk, or drag and drop into the workspace
+- Searchable asset browser with previews in the editor toolbar
+- Shared asset library available to every project, overridable per project
+- `.ttf`, `.otf`, `.ttc`, and `.otc` fonts registered by their embedded family name
+
+### Cloud
+
+Optional. Without an account the app is entirely local.
+
+- Browse your TypstDrive folders, documents, spaces, and anything shared with you
+- Download to this device and open straight from the cloud view
+- Three-way merge with a conflict resolver when a file changed in both places
+- Automatic sync on a timer, paused while conflicts are unresolved
+- Upload a local project to the cloud as a space
+- Role permissions honoured, with viewer access kept read-only
+
+### Appearance
+
+- Light and dark themes
+- Settings grouped into Files, Appearance, Account, and About
+
+## Install
+
+Packages for Debian, Fedora, and Arch are in [the README](README.md#install).
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- Only Linux packages are built automatically. Windows and macOS have to be built on their own platforms.
+- macOS builds are unsigned, so Gatekeeper blocks them on first launch.
+- The language server is not bundled. Install `tinymist` separately for its features.
