MacTools 2.2.0

Added

• Added system-network support for private IP address ranges used by local model services, while retaining public-network transport protections.
• MacTools can open its panel below the Dynamic Island and restores its menu-bar icon when the hover plugin is disabled or no compatible display is connected.
• Open installed or running applications directly by voice without assigning hotkeys. Asking for an already active app keeps it visible.
• Control enabled plugins by voice with native approvals and microphone permission guidance. Conversations survive plugin refreshes, while stopped or expired sessions cannot start waiting commands.

Changed

• Plugin Sets now open inside Settings and finish with clear tips for using and configuring plugins. Refined previews use each component’s default panel while preserving existing layouts.
• Import now clarifies that selecting Shortcuts resets omitted bindings to defaults. Unselected categories and local data are preserved.
• Empty panels now link to plugin installation when no plugins are installed, or directly to panel editing when plugins are available, replacing the tool-pack shortcut.

Fixed

• Preferences Backup now shows plugin coverage, exclusions, and restore results. Failed exports preserve the last good automatic or cloud backup, and dependent shortcuts follow successfully included definitions.
• Imported prompt shortcuts apply only when their template definitions restore successfully.
• Panel editing keeps navigation centered, places Panel Width after Add Widgets, and removes redundant drag controls.
