hopto v0.4.0

Added

• The menu bar item on macOS shows the frog instead of a generic grid: the key-frog from the front, by default. Icon in its menu offers six other drawings, each next to its name (the face, the isometric key of the app icon, the frog peeking out, an outline, the frog in colour and the old grid), kept in library.toml as menubar_icon.

hopto v0.3.1

Added

• hopto has an icon of its own: a keyboard key that is also a frog, crouched and about to hop. On macOS it sits on the rounded tile the system draws, in a deep pond colour; on Windows, in the tray and the Start Menu, and in the README, the frog stands on its own.

Changed

• Windows 10 is supported: hopto was installed and used on a Windows 10 PC, and the requirement is no longer Windows 11 22H2.
• The exe carries its file version and product version, so its properties and the list of installed apps show them.

Fixed

• After installing on Windows, hopto could end up in the tray with nothing on screen: the welcome panel hid again if anything took the focus back as the installer closed. The first panel now stays until you answer it.
• Programs that ship small icons only showed an empty tile on Windows; their icon is now cut out of the corner Windows draws it in.

hopto v0.3.0

Added

• A disk image for macOS, signed with a Developer ID and notarised: open it, drag hopto to Applications, and macOS asks once whether to open it instead of refusing it.
• An installer for Windows, amd64 and arm64: for one user, no administrator, a Start Menu shortcut, and a newer version replaces the one installed. Not signed yet, so SmartScreen still warns; the zips stay for who would rather not install.

System	Download
macOS 12 or later, Apple silicon and Intel	hopto-v0.3.0-macos-universal.dmg
Windows 11, x64 (most PCs)	hopto-v0.3.0-windows-amd64.msi
Windows 11 on Arm (Snapdragon)	hopto-v0.3.0-windows-arm64.msi
Windows, without installing	the .zip of your architecture

Changed

• The macOS download is the disk image; the zip of the app is gone.
• The Go code now lives in internal/app, internal/platform and internal/native; the root holds main.go alone. Nothing changes for a user.
• A cleanup with no change in behaviour: the big files split by what each part does, the page's layout and removal logic in modules of their own with tests, the Windows build linted as well, a hermetic icon test, and a make ci the workflow runs.

Fixed

• On Windows the help and the footer write the Tab key as Tab instead of the macOS glyph; the add row shows its plus once.
• The help has a name for screen readers, takes the keyboard while it is open and gives it back on close; Tab stays inside the welcome; the list is announced as the selected tab's panel.

hopto v0.2.0

Added

• hopto runs on Windows: tray icon with the same menu, Ctrl+Shift+Space and Ctrl+Alt+Space, the programs of the Start Menu with their icons, links in the default browser, the library under %AppData%\hopto, open at login, the system language, and amd64 and arm64 zips in every release.
• scripts/verify-hopto-windows.ps1 drives the Windows build the way verify-hopto.sh drives the Mac one: a first run on a profile of its own, the welcome, both shortcuts, the keyboard in the page, the taskbar and the seed.

Changed

• cmd in a shortcut means the Win key on Windows; the page prints Ctrl, Alt and Enter there.

hopto v0.1.1

Added

• A pencil on every link and app, shown when the pointer or the selection is on it, opens the editor with the mouse; before, ⌘E was the only way in and it was written only in the help.

Changed

• actions/checkout, actions/setup-go and actions/setup-node in the CI and release workflows now use their newest major versions.

Fixed

• The scripts that drive the real app no longer risk your data: put_back only restores from a copy that set_aside actually finished making, so a script that dies partway through never wipes library.toml, icons/ or usage.json.
• record-demo.sh no longer closes Preview windows that were already open before the recording; it now closes only the backdrop image it created itself.
• A version tag now fails to release unless the tagged commit's CI run was green, instead of publishing a build that had skipped golangci-lint, gofmt and Playwright.
• "Open at login" refuses a translocated copy of hopto.app, which would otherwise stop working the first time the Mac restarts.
• The demo GIF shows the panel alone, with transparent rounded corners, instead of a dark frame around it.

hopto v0.1.0

Added

• The launcher from the original private monorepo, rebuilt as hopto: two global shortcuts, global search, categories, favourites and usage order, Edge web apps, light and dark themes.
• The library lives in library.toml under Application Support; the file is re-read every time the panel opens and never overwritten when it cannot be parsed.
• The apps tab lists /Applications and ~/Applications, with icons read from each bundle, next to the apps added by hand.
• Icons for links are fetched once from the site itself (or a selfh.st hint), through a client that refuses private addresses, plain http and oversized bodies.
• Typing searches apps and links together, ranked by name, host, keywords and description; the empty panel shows favourites, recent items and each category.
• ⌘C copies the URL or path, ⌘↩ opens a link in the secondary browser, ⌥↩ reveals an app in the Finder, ⌘⇧↩ opens every item of a chip, ? shows the shortcuts.
• The interface speaks English and Spanish, following the system unless the settings say otherwise.
• Typing something that is not there offers "＋ Add": Enter opens the editor in the panel, reads the page's name, description and icon, ⌘1-9 picks the category (or types a new one) and Enter saves.
• ⌘E edits the selected link or app; ⌘⌫ asks in the row before deleting a link or hiding a found app, and hidden apps come back from their own chip.
• ⌘⇧E renames the active category in place and ⌘⇧⌫ deletes it once it is empty.
• Apps are added by hand through the native dialog (⌘N or "Search Applications…" on the apps tab), which is also how a found app gets a category.
• Apps in /System/Applications are found by typing without filling the grid.
• A menu bar item with Open, Help, Edit library.toml, Open at login and Quit.
• The first run shows a welcome with the shortcuts, whether each one registered, and a warning when macOS keeps ⌘⌥Space for the Finder.
• The help names the version, the commit and where library.toml lives; the broken-file notice has a button that opens the file.
• CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY and ARCHITECTURE guides; doc/ pages on how hopto works on macOS, on every key of library.toml and on testing; issue and pull request templates.
• config.example.toml: the first-run library with a comment on every setting, kept equal to it by a test.
• scripts/verify-hopto.sh drives the built app from the shell on a library of its own and checks the shortcuts, opening, hiding, the Dock and Quit, then puts your data back.
• A README with a demo, the shortcuts, the configuration and troubleshooting; scripts/record-demo.sh records the demo from the real app on a library with nothing personal in it.
• make dist builds the release: one universal app for Apple silicon and Intel, zipped with its SHA-256; pushing a version tag publishes it as a GitHub release with the notes of this file.

Changed

• The category id hidden is reserved for the chip of hidden apps; a library using it for its own category is refused.
• The app reports its own version in the Finder and asks for macOS 12 or later, the oldest macOS that Go 1.27 runs on.

Fixed

• A corrupt usage.json is no longer overwritten on the first opening.
• The selection no longer disappears when moving up on a short apps grid.
• An Edge web app no longer swallows a link to another page of the same host.
• Editing a link keeps its icon hint, and an edit racing an add can no longer leave two links to the same page.
• An app can no longer be added twice by hand, even when two editors or a hand edit race the save.
• Help from the menu bar waits while the file dialog is open, and closes the editor instead of painting over it.
• While the editor is open, the footer says what Enter does there ("↩ Save") instead of naming the row underneath.
• The library path in the help breaks at the edge of the panel instead of splitting every word.
• The Finder shortcut warning also reads shortcut settings that macOS stored as decimal numbers.
