1.1.0

Performance and smoothness release.

Fixed

  • Toggle-off stall — cursor-hide reference count no longer grows unbounded; disabling the hand is instant regardless of session length
  • Blurry hand on Retina displays — renders at the highest backing scale among connected displays
  • Wrong default expressiveness on fresh installs — now defaults to Gentle nudge
  • Wrong/stale menu shortcuts when remapping the hotkey to special keys
  • Burst drawn over the glove — bursts now render beneath the hand

Performance

  • Frame-synced tracking — display-link-driven movement; one update per screen refresh, matched to the display's refresh rate
  • Zero idle cost — display link pauses ~1 s after the mouse stops; 0.0 % CPU at idle
  • Shadow baked into artwork — no more offscreen render pass per composite
  • 60 Hz cursor-hide timer removed — event-driven re-hides plus a cheap 4 Hz visibility-gated backstop
  • Hand keeps moving while a menu is open

Added

  • Burst style option — Comic pop (default) or Ripple ring
  • Hand size slider (48–128 pt)
  • Launch at login (SMAppService)
  • State restore — hand comes back if it was showing at quit

Install / upgrade:

brew tap quietapps/quietpointer
