KoBar 1.4.2

Superseded by 1.4.3. A newer release replaced this one: KoBar 1.4.3 (text import, "Open with KoBar", launch-at-login fix). Please use 1.4.3 instead.

KoBar 1.4.2

A visual release that replaces the 1.4.1 pre-release. Everything in 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 applies; your data is not touched and the plugin contract is unchanged.

What is new in 1.4.2

• New logo and app icons: installer, app and tray icons, Microsoft Store tiles, README header and the plugin default image.
• The mini-mode button and the sidebar header show the new KoBar head. Its eyes follow the cursor when "cursor tracking" is on, and otherwise only while the pointer is over it; it blinks once when a notification arrives. It does not animate while idle, while the window is hidden, or when your system asks for reduced motion.

Earlier changes

• 1.4.1: fixed the KoBox folder-copy helper on the Node version bundled in Electron 44; development and CI use Node 24.21.0.
• 1.4.0: the remaster release (new Settings window, design system, safer plugin installs, 10 languages, full backup and restore). See the 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 notes on GitHub for the complete list, data backup locations and known issues.

Installing

• The Windows installer from GitHub is not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC": click "More info", then "Run anyway".
• The Microsoft Store build is signed by Microsoft and is updated by the Store.
