Power Tools 1.8.0 — ⏎ opens in Finder, waveform fix

@BadassHomesteader BadassHomesteader released this 09 Jul 00:50

New

  • ⏎ in Finder opens the selection (Windows-style) instead of starting a rename — files and folders alike. Return still works normally in rename and search fields. Toggle in Settings ▸ General.

Fixed

  • Dictation waveform could stay stuck on the leader-hint strip on multi-channel input devices (docks/interfaces): level metering read channel 0 only; it now takes the loudest channel per slice.
  • Analyzer start latency and per-utterance peak level are now logged for easier audio diagnostics.

Signed, notarized, stapled. macOS 26+, Apple Silicon.

Power Tools 1.7.0 — a real Alt-Tab, snap palette, clipboard history, quick capture

@BadassHomesteader BadassHomesteader released this 08 Jul 15:56

Everything since 1.0, in one drop:

Windows

  • ⌘Tab like Windows Alt-Tab — window-level MRU switching with a strip of live thumbnails (up to 24 windows in rows). Hold ⌘, move with Tab or arrows, release to switch, Esc to cancel. ⇧⌘Tab walks back; ⌘` keeps stock behavior. Toggle in Settings ▸ Windows.
  • Snap palette (hold hotkey + W) — Fill/halves/quarters/thirds drawn as mini window diagrams, a drag-to-sketch mini-grid, live preview outline, multi-display targeting.
  • Arrow chaining — leader ← then ↑ = corner snap; cycle past the last size to unwind.
  • Saved layouts — snapshot every window's position (app-anchored, exact frames); restore from palette chips (A/B/C) or manage in Settings (save/update/rename/delete).

Clipboard & capture

  • Clipboard history (hold + H) — the Win+V gap: recent copies, text and images with thumbnails; pick one, it pastes and becomes the clipboard. Local SQLite; password-manager-concealed items never recorded.
  • Quick Capture (hold + N, or letters you assign) — type or dictate a line, it POSTs to your own endpoints (todo apps, n8n webhooks) via per-connection JSON templates. Inline p1 / tomorrow / @context parse into priority/due/context fields.

Dictation

  • Call-safe dictation — speakers auto-mute while the key is held, restore on release; Zoom/Teams audio never lands in your transcript.

Polish

  • Tabbed Settings (General · Dictation · Windows · AI · Connections · Dictionary · Permissions), Find My Mouse rework (all screens dim, slow screen-scaled sweep), fraction-cycling snap sizes.

Signed, notarized, stapled. macOS 26+, Apple Silicon.
