SlideWand 1.3.4

What changed

  • Simpler, sturdier update checks. "Check for Updates" no longer goes through the GitHub API (which rate-limits anonymous calls and could fail with "Couldn't check for updates"). It now just follows the public github.com/.../releases/latest redirect — the final URL carries the latest version — and downloads the asset from the plain release download URL. No keys, no API.
  • Version 1.3.4 (build 9). Regular Dock app; still not Apple-notarized (right-click → Open on first launch).

Install

Download SlideWand-macos.zip below, unzip, move SlideWand.app to /Applications, then right-click → Open (first launch only). Grant Camera when asked.

SlideWand 1.3.3

What changed

  • Mirrored camera preview. The preview is now flipped horizontally (selfie-style), which is what the gesture math always assumed — the hand skeleton overlay and wave directions now line up with the video. Done with a display-only layer transform; the macOS 26 capture-connection mirroring call that crashed 1.3.0/1.3.1 stays removed for good.
  • Fixed a crash on quit. The menu-bar refresh timer could fire while the app was tearing down (EXC_BAD_ACCESS in the menu tick); it is now stopped in applicationWillTerminate, and the camera is released on quit.
  • Version 1.3.3 (build 8). Regular Dock app; still not Apple-notarized (right-click → Open on first launch).

Install

Download SlideWand-macos.zip below, unzip, move SlideWand.app to /Applications, then right-click → Open (first launch only). Grant Camera when asked.

SlideWand 1.3.2

What changed

  • Fixed the launch crash (the real bug). On macOS 26's new camera stack, setting the preview layer's isVideoMirrored throws an Objective-C exception, which macOS turns into an instant crash a few seconds after launch. The mirroring call is removed — the preview now shows unmirrored video, which is also the correct orientation for directional gestures.
  • Kept from 1.3.1: explicit main.swift bootstrap and loud [SlideWand] startup prints when run from Terminal.
  • Version 1.3.2 (build 7). Regular Dock app; still not Apple-notarized (right-click → Open on first launch).
