Added

  • Now Playing in the collapsed and expanded notch
  • About dialog with version, build, and homepage
  • Relaunch command in the app menu
  • Notch-shaped Dock and menu bar icon that follows light and dark mode
  • Live checkmark when Accessibility paste access is granted
  • Hide the notch in fullscreen, Mission Control, games, and screen capture
  • Charging, Low Power, and Focus events in the collapsed notch
  • iOS-style equalizer while media is playing
  • First-launch permission onboarding and a Permissions settings pane
  • Optional setting to keep the notch visible in fullscreen, Mission Control, games, and screenshots (off by default)
  • Switch between Notch and Dynamic Island layouts in Settings, the overlay menu, and the menu bar
  • Clear clipboard history while keeping pinned clips
  • Full Disk Access status on the Permissions pane for Focus mode identity
  • Optional setting to disable clipboard history (enabled by default)
  • Click the expanded Now Playing title to open the source app, window, or browser tab

Changed

  • Rounder collapsed and expanded notch corners
  • Collapsed notch sits slightly shorter than the menu bar, like a hardware notch
  • Clipboard selection ring is drawn inside the card so it is no longer clipped
  • Debug builds no longer use Xcode’s debug dylib, which made Accessibility and paste fail even after permission was granted

Fixed

  • Collapse the notch when opening Settings so it does not stay expanded behind the dialog
  • Release build of the MediaRemote helper
  • Center the About dialog on the notch display each time it opens
  • Sendable, mutability, and AppIcon asset warnings
  • Accessibility and Automation permission status in Settings
  • Paste into the previous app (notch was keeping keyboard focus and skipping ⌘V)
  • Opening Settings no longer expands the notch again via a reopen event
  • Equalizer hides while media is paused
  • Focus on/off events in the collapsed notch (the assertion store is not readable without Full Disk Access)
  • Focus live activity shows the active mode’s name and symbol, including switches between modes
  • Clicking a clipboard card pastes it (⌘1 already did)
  • Expand and collapse stay anchored to the top center
  • Reopen a hidden or windowless player when clicking the Now Playing title
