holzBar v0.0.6-beta2

holzBar 0.0.6 beta 2

A quick fix for 0.0.6 beta 1. Everything new in 0.0.6 is described in the beta 1 notes.

🛠 Fixed

• Turning on settings sync no longer crashes holzBar. In beta 1, choosing a sync folder in Settings → Advanced → Sync settings between your Macs crashed holzBar, and because sync then stayed on, holzBar crashed at every launch after that. The sync folder is now watched on the queue macOS calls it on, as intended. If beta 1 crashed for you, update and holzBar starts again with sync on.
• The Dock icon goes away after the permissions window. If the permissions window was closed with its close button, or while System Settings was in front, holzBar kept a Dock icon until it quit. It now hides it as soon as the window closes, unless the application menus are hidden, which needs it.

📦 Install

Update an installed holzBar:

brew update && brew upgrade --cask holzbar

New install (quit the original Ice, Thaw, Bartender or Hidden Bar first if one of them is running):

brew tap holzcloud/holzbar https://github.com/holzcloud/holzBar
brew trust --cask holzcloud/holzbar/holzbar
brew install --cask holzbar

If macOS says holzBar can't be opened, take it out of quarantine and open it again:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/holzBar.app

This release is signed with the same certificate as beta 1, so updating from beta 1 keeps the Accessibility permission. Coming from 0.0.5, follow "Updating from 0.0.5" in the beta 1 notes.

holzBar runs on macOS 14 Sonoma and later, up to macOS 27.
