What's changed

Fixed

  • Add a Developer ID signing and notarization path with hardened runtime, secure timestamps, stapled tickets, and verification of extracted release archives. Reject wrong-team signatures and failed notarization instead of distributing an ad-hoc fallback.
  • Preserve quarantine in the Homebrew cask and document the one-time Accessibility regrant when upgrading from ad-hoc releases through 0.2.1. Future production builds retain the bundle identifier and signing team.

Install

brew install --cask mrashrhodes/tap/barback

Or download Barback-0.2.2.zip and its matching Barback-0.2.2.zip.sha256 below into the same folder, then verify the download before opening it:

cd ~/Downloads
shasum -a 256 -c "Barback-0.2.2.zip.sha256"

Continue only if the command reports Barback-0.2.2.zip: OK. If verification fails, stop and download the pair again from this release. Then extract the zip and move Barback.app to your Applications folder. A matching checksum confirms the download matches the published file; it is not notarization.

This release is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple, with the ticket stapled to the app. Leave quarantine enabled; no Gatekeeper bypass is needed. If macOS rejects the download, stop and report the error rather than disabling its protections.

Core hiding needs no Screen Recording or Accessibility permission. The optional drop-down panel requires Accessibility to open an item's menu. To hide an item, hold ⌘ and drag it to the left of Barback's separator; click the chevron or press ⌃⌥⌘B to show or hide it.

Update an existing installation

Quit Barback first. Homebrew: brew update && brew upgrade --cask barback. Manual: repeat the download and verification steps above and replace Barback.app. Your settings and item positions are kept.

When upgrading from an ad-hoc build (including 0.2.1), grant Accessibility again if you use it: remove the old Barback entry in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, add /Applications/Barback.app again, enable it, and reopen Barback. Later releases retain the same bundle identifier and signing team.
