Meridian 1.36.0

July 7, 2026

A big memory and performance win on Mac — much lighter on large mailboxes — plus an inbox that loads as you scroll.

New

• Inbox loads as you scroll — the inbox opens on your most recent conversations and pulls in more as you scroll down, so it’s fast to open even with years of mail.

Improved

• Much lighter on memory — Meridian no longer keeps your whole mailbox loaded in memory at once. On large accounts this cuts memory use dramatically and clears up the sluggishness and beach-balls that came with it. Older mail still opens instantly when you need it.
• Calmer background indexing — on-device search indexing now works through your mail gradually, newest first, instead of running flat-out until it finishes — so it stays out of the way while you work. Search still covers everything.
• Snappier lists — removed some repeated background database work that could cause small hitches while scrolling activities and messages.

Fixed

• Security and dependency updates under the hood, including a move to a newer TLS library that clears several advisories.
