OverflowBar 1.0.19

OverflowBar 1.0.19 — In-App Updates

OverflowBar 1.0.19 adds signed in-app updates so future releases can be
installed from OverflowBar Settings without manually downloading another
GitHub release.

The existing macOS 26 compatibility and menu-bar layout fixes remain included.

Fixed

• Stabilized Control Center composite-host detection on macOS 26 so layout
  operations target real draggable status-item windows.
• Preserved automatic-hide requests across WindowServer refreshes and
  re-scanned after application activation so newly-created menu-bar windows
  are hidden again.
• Extended bounded startup retries for newly-installed ad-hoc builds and kept
  synthetic drag points on an active display.
• Added Sparkle-backed update checks, release notes, signed updater archives,
  and a manual confirmation step before installation.

Verification

• Installed /Applications/OverflowBar.app on macOS 26 and completed a clean
  single-instance run.
• Captured real menu-bar icons through the macOS 26 compatibility path.
• Verified successful hide moves for the selected icons and subsequent re-hide
  after activation.
• Release build, DMG verification, updater ZIP verification, and SHA-256 checks
  are included with the release assets.

Important for affected users

• This community build is ad-hoc signed and is not notarized with an Apple
  Developer ID. macOS may require Control-click → Open on first launch.
• Because ad-hoc builds have a new code-signing identity, macOS may require
  fresh Accessibility and Screen Recording authorization for this version.
  Open OverflowBar Settings and use Request for each permission if the
  status is not granted.
• Do not use an older com.overflowbar.app copy at the same time. Replace it
  with this build in /Applications before granting permissions.

Install

1. Download OverflowBar-1.0.19.dmg below.
2. Drag OverflowBar to Applications and replace the older copy.
3. Open OverflowBar, complete the Accessibility and Screen Recording requests,
   then select the menu-bar items to move into the overflow panel.
