Fixed

  • Removing a plugin removes all of it, from anywhere. Removing a plugin from the Store window, or when its publisher withdraws it, now also clears what you approved it to do, as removing it in Settings already did. Install it again and Stackbar asks again. Deleting its data from the Store window now signs it out too.
  • The palette keeps what it learned when a plugin is replaced. When one plugin takes over from another (like Windows from Window Layouts), what you taught the palette by picking its results now moves over with your shortcuts and pins, including rows its searches show.
  • Clear Search History takes effect at once. A palette reopened within a minute of clearing it in Settings no longer shows the old order.
  • Stackbar links open in Stackbar. A stackbar:// link from the palette or a plugin is now handled by the running app directly. Before, it went out through macOS, which could hand it to another copy of Stackbar, such as an old build. Command links still ask before running a command, as before.
  • A plugin installed or updated from the Store is checked once it is built: if its code asks for different permissions than its publisher signed for, the install is undone.
  • For plugin authors: the authoring guide (stackbarctl docs, llms.txt) now lists every rate limit a plugin can run into, including the ones calls share: switching, hiding and focusing apps and pressing menu items share 120 a minute.
  • For plugin authors: stackbarctl render --event and the authoring MCP tools now treat a command view the way the palette does. They say when a submitted form finished (where the palette closes), reopen the view with what was typed after a plugin restarts, and say when the plugin stopped instead of waiting.

Install

Signed with Developer ID and notarized. Install with Homebrew or the one-line installer (both also put stackbarctl on your PATH):

brew install --cask navbytes/tap/stackbar
curl -fsSL https://stackbar.app/install.sh | bash

Or unzip, drag Stackbar.app into /Applications and open it.

Requires macOS 26. Store plugins come prebuilt, so Xcode is not needed to use them. To write your own plugins, install Xcode 26 or the Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install).

The command-line tool is inside the app: ln -sf /Applications/Stackbar.app/Contents/MacOS/stackbarctl ~/.local/bin/stackbarctl, then stackbarctl doctor.

Built from 2b2ad31.
