Plinth 1.14.0

Plinth 1.14.0 adds a mallet key for one-key keypads, foot pedals and Stream Deck, lets the hour and the season temper each knock, and starts the fish in ink, with a new app icon to match.

New

• Mallet key. In Settings → Knocking → While You Work, record a key on a one-key keypad, a foot pedal or a Stream Deck button as the mallet. Pressing it in any app knocks the fish by hand, with no permission needed. An F-key can be the mallet alone; any other key needs two modifiers, one of them ⌘ or ⌃, so shortcuts such as ⌘C and ⌃C keep working.
• The hour and the season. Each knock, and the hall it rings in, shifts slightly with the time of day and the time of year: clearer at the 4 a.m. morning board (早板) and in winter, warmer late at night and in summer. The shift is gradual: no knock sounds unlike the one before.
• New app icon. The ink fish on rice paper, matching the disk image and Settings → Why a Fish.

Improved

• The fish starts in ink. New installs, and anyone who has never chosen a skin, now get the Ink Fish. A skin you chose, the Wooden Fish included, stays as it is. Every skin is still under Skin in the fish's menu.
• Across displays. The knock now comes from where the fish sits among all your displays, with the main display in front of you: a fish on a display to the right sounds from the right. On headphones you can hear where.
• Calls. The three knocks of plinth://call, and of a stick of incense burning out (开静), now each ring in full. Once the first knock has sounded, pressing any key or clicking anywhere ends the call, as a knock by hand already did.
• The scroll fish. In Settings → Why a Fish, the painted fish now always knocks in the Ink Fish's voice, and the fish on your desktop no longer swings its mallet behind the window.
• README. A new opening on why Plinth calls you with struck wood rather than banners and badges, and the app icon at the top.

Requirements

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.

Plinth 1.14.0 新增木槌键，可以用单键小键盘、脚踏板或 Stream Deck 敲木鱼；每一下敲击随时辰和季节微微变化；木鱼默认换成水墨鱼，App 图标也随之更新。

新功能

• 木槌键。 在「设置」→「敲击」→「做事时」中，可以把单键小键盘、脚踏板或 Stream Deck 上的一个按键录制为木槌。在任何 App 里按下它，就如亲手敲一下，无需任何权限。F 键可以单独使用；其他键需要配两个修饰键，其中一个是 ⌘ 或 ⌃，这样 ⌘C、⌃C 等快捷键照常可用。
• 时辰与季节。 每一下敲击和它回荡的殿堂，会随一天的时辰和一年的季节微微变化：凌晨四点的早板和冬天更清亮，深夜和夏天更温润。变化极缓，前后两下听不出差别。
• 新图标。 App 图标换成米纸上的水墨鱼，与磁盘映像和「设置」→「为何是鱼」一致。

改进

• 默认水墨鱼。 新安装的用户，以及从未选过皮肤的用户，木鱼现在是水墨鱼。选过的皮肤保持不变，「木鱼」皮肤也一样。所有皮肤仍在木鱼菜单的「皮肤」中。
• 跨显示器定位。 敲击声现在按木鱼在所有显示器中的位置传来，以主显示器为正前方：木鱼在右侧的显示器上，声音就从右边传来。戴耳机能听出它在哪儿。
• 唤你回来。 plinth://call 的三下，以及一炷香燃尽时的三下（开静），现在每一下都余音放尽。第一下响过之后，按任意键或在任意处点按一下，即可结束唤声，和亲手敲一下一样。
• 画上的木鱼。 在「设置」→「为何是鱼」中，挂轴上的木鱼现在总是用水墨鱼的声音，桌面上的木鱼也不再在窗口后面挥槌。
• README。 新增开篇，说明 Plinth 为何用木鱼的敲击、而不是横幅和红点来唤你，顶部也放上了 App 图标。

系统要求

• macOS 14 Sonoma 或更高版本，支持 Apple 芯片和 Intel 处理器。

安装与更新

• 已安装 1.4.0 或更高版本： Plinth 会在一天内提示更新。如需立即更新，请在木鱼菜单中选择「检查更新…」。
• 更早版本或首次安装： 下载下方的 Plinth-1.14.0.dmg，打开后将 Plinth 拖入「应用程序」文件夹。如果 Plinth 正在运行，请先退出：右键点按木鱼，选择「退出 Plinth」。

Plinth 已使用 Developer ID 签名，并经过 Apple 公证。
