Linelark Notepad Studio
What shipped in 1.22.0.
Editor tools can be switched off
- A new MCP indicator sits beside Proxy at the right of the status bar. It controls the editor tools of the window it is in — the server that agents in your terminals and in the Claude panel read your open files through, as you have typed them. Click it to turn them off or on; the same switch is in Terminal ▸ Editor Tools for Agents (MCP).
- Off closes the connection point completely, so nothing can read that window until you turn it back on. On opens it at once rather than waiting for the next terminal, and a Claude Code session that was already open finds it again with
/mcp. Each window has its own switch, and a new window opens set the way the one it came from is. - The dot says where it stands: grey is off, a ring is on and waiting for the first terminal or agent, green is listening, orange means it could not start. Right-click for Set Up Claude Code Integration… and Copy MCP Config, which copies what a
claudestarted outside Linelark needs.
Both buttons now explain themselves
- Hover over MCP or Proxy and the tooltip says what the button is for, then what state it is in and what a click does.
What does not change
- Editor tools stay on by default, as they have always been, so the Claude panel keeps its tools. Every change an agent proposes still asks first.
Known limits in 1.22.0
- Turning the switch off does not stop an agent that is already running. The process carries on and its editor tools stop answering. The Claude panel, started again while the switch is off, runs without them and without their permission prompts.
- The switch is in the direct-download edition only; the App Store edition has no terminal or agent to reach the editor from.
- The universal Studio download requires macOS 14 or later. Touch ID and Mac-password vault unlocking use the provisioning profile included in the signed build; password and recovery-key access remain available without it.
