Lunchpad 0.1.1
Highlights
Lunchpad 0.1.1 is the first stable release since 0.1.0, collecting the settings window, localization, page memory, and the new dismissal gesture.
- New: close Lunchpad with a four-finger spread. The inverse of pinch-to-open — while Lunchpad is on screen, spread four fingers apart to dismiss it. Pinch-to-open, Show Desktop restoration, Escape, the global hot key, and click-to-dismiss are unchanged.
- New: Settings window and localization. Configure the interface language (Follow System, English, Simplified Chinese), the global hot key, launch-at-login, and the four-finger pinch toggle. The interface is now localized; application names continue to follow macOS bundle localization.
- New: page memory. Lunchpad remembers the last root-level page you viewed and restores it on the next open within a 30-second window. Folder and search pages stay transient.
- Fixed: Show Desktop gesture restoration.
