v3.3.3-beta.1
Summary
Vorssaint 3.3.3-beta.1 introduces the opt-in beta release channel and in-app feedback diagnostics alongside full manual and temperature-based Fan Control, directional pointer window layout, an opt-in Kill Process tool and native input-source switching for the Super key and drag-to-place Dock previews. It keeps grouped and windowless App Switcher labels clear, splits App Switcher rows evenly when they wrap, makes Scratchpad controls easier to click, keeps fixed page footers from repeating in scrolling screenshots, restores reliable trimming from the start of a recording, makes administrator approval for updates originate from Vorssaint, keeps messaging app cleanup in Cleaner hidden until you turn it on, keeps Separate metrics in Settings instead of the menu bar panel, lets you open Music yourself while the media-key blocker is on, and shows compressed memory and cached files in the System panel.
Added
- Window Layout now offers an opt-in Shortcut + pointer layout mode that places the active window toward
any of eight directions with a native glass-ring HUD. Thanks to @Bald-M. - The Super key can now use a quick press to switch between enabled input sources
while a press-and-hold toggles Caps Lock. Thanks to @BenjaminD2023. - Dock Preview thumbnails can now be dragged to move windows freely or snap them
to screen regions. Thanks to @PathGao. - Clean URL now removes the tracking parameters that YouTube, X, Instagram, Spotify,
Reddit, TikTok, Bilibili and Xiaohongshu add to their own share links, while leaving
the same parameter names alone on every other site. Thanks to @PathGao. - An opt-in Kill Process feature searches running processes to force quit, restart or terminate
process trees from Settings and the Command Bar. It ships uninstalled. Thanks to @naveenkrdy. - The System panel now shows compressed memory and cached files next to swap.
- Middle-clicking a window card in the App Switcher now closes that window directly.
- Settings now lets you opt in to receive beta and pre-release updates alongside stable versions.
Changed
-
The App Switcher now splits windows evenly across rows when they wrap, so a
leftover pair no longer stretches the panel to a full first row. Thanks to @kzenmatthias. -
Separate metrics into their own items now lives only in Settings › Monitor,
not in the menu bar panel. -
Fan Control now offers System, continuous Manual control from 0% to 100% and
editable temperature curves with multiple SoC, CPU and GPU rules. It also shows
current and target RPM for every fan. -
The Cleaner's messaging app downloads tools stay hidden until you turn them on
in Cleaner. Setups that already use that cleanup keep it. -
Clicking a Dock icon now only restores the windows that Click Dock icon to minimize
put away. Windows minimized any other way keep the Dock's own restore. Thanks to @PathGao.
Fixed
- Super key input-source switching no longer waits on Accessibility marked text
or a pause after every tap, so a language change takes effect before the next
keystroke. Thanks to @BenjaminD2023. - Scrolling screenshots now keep fixed page footers once at the end instead of
repeating them after every scroll. - Settings now lists Dock Preview and Dock click as separate named sections, and
opening Dock click from the Features hub lands on its own controls rather than on
the Dock Preview block. Thanks to @PathGao. - Scratchpad tabs and the pin, close, new pad and pad actions buttons now respond
across their whole area. Thanks to @AB-boi and @PathGao. - Dock Preview cards no longer draw the app icon on every thumbnail or repeat the
window title over it, leaving the thumbnail more of the card, and a card now
badges a window that lives on another desktop. Thanks to @PathGao. - Fan Control now prepares stopped fans before taking manual control and keeps a
failed attempt visible instead of silently returning to Automatic. - The Clean URL settings fields now take a click anywhere across their row. Their
hint used to render as a row label beside a short strip of field, so clicking the
words did nothing. The parameter list also gained a Save button and shows the
names as the cleaner reads them, instead of applying each keystroke as it is
typed. Thanks to @PathGao. - The grouped simple App Switcher now keeps every window title fully visible and lets
the window shortcut reach each window, even when showing one entry per app. - Windowless apps no longer repeat or misplace their name in the App Switcher's Small
size. Thanks to @Yahddyyp. - Clicking the Dock icon of a background app to restore its minimized windows now
brings that app forward, instead of leaving its windows behind whichever app was
already in front. Thanks to @PathGao. - The recording editor now trims reliably from the beginning of a video when
dragging the left handle. Thanks to @lmilojevicc. - Screen recorder, Copy text from screen and Color picker can each take a shortcut
of their own again, opening screen capture already on that mode. Their Settings
rows no longer record a combination that does nothing. Thanks to @wiidede and
@PathGao. - App Switcher window preview warm-up no longer crashes right after startup when
the system returns duplicate window identifiers. Thanks to @james-rose. - Clipboard history, its copied images, shelf files, recordings and temporary share
records are now stored so only your own account can read them. Folders an earlier
version left readable by other accounts on the Mac are corrected on the next
write. Thanks to @ThomasWaldmann. - Administrator approval for updates now originates from Vorssaint instead of a
system script. Thanks to @dbhorst. - Stopping Music from opening on its own no longer blocks opening it from the
Dock, Spotlight or Applications. Media keys still cannot launch it. - The recording editor now reads composition duration directly without background
queries. Thanks to @Bald-M.

can open maintenance tools directly. - The System panel now shows swap memory in use below the memory reading.
Thanks to @veniaminMedanov. - A new Discord community brings help, shared workflows, bug reports, feedback,
early previews and release news together while the community takes shape.
Changed

and localized app names, supports Control P and Control N, moves by dragging and

start without automatic zooms. Copied screenshots now also work as image files.
Thanks to @monfxx and @lmilojevicc. - Shelf now supports range selection, opens from a screen edge, groups compatible
drops and shows clearer details. Thanks to @cimu233 and @tenbux. - App Updates now searches more places and offers source controls, while installed
feature rows lead directly to the relevant Settings controls. Thanks to @ruvelro,
@PathGao and @dorlugasigal. - App removal now recognizes when managed apps belong to a package manager. Thanks to
@MineraleYT. - Settings now better separates Clipboard controls, explains Full Disk Access and
keeps inactive or list controls clearer. Thanks to @PathGao. - The simple App Switcher now cycles individual windows, marks other desktops and

duplicate running processes without quitting the app. - Capture now supports drawing a fresh crop, preserves translucent window content and
animates the recording countdown smoothly. Thanks to @lmilojevicc. - Clipboard keeps large documents, while Shelf refreshes pile counts and controls as
soon as another item is added. Thanks to @tenbux. - Command Bar now opens immediately, finds apps outside standard folders and can
search for keyboard light controls. Screen text recognition now follows the interface
language. Thanks to @MaximilianMauroner and @PathGao. - Switcher now survives wake, restores minimized windows, keeps selection aligned,

instances across desktops and retains full screen video windows. Its labels now

@AB-boi, @danpalmer and @eioz. - Quit on close now covers separate guest app windows. Thanks to @danno71.

Caps Lock is disabled without leaving it on after a mapping repair. - Audio boost now smooths loud peaks and Volume Mixer restores sound after a failed
adjustment. Network, power and accessory battery readings now avoid stale or missing

@jbleuzen. - App Updates no longer matches store updates to the wrong app, and stale package

v3.2.0
Summary
Vorssaint 3.2.0 adds the Command Bar, one field that finds and runs anything on
your Mac, plus app updates in one list, a searchable snippet menu, a super key
on Caps Lock and mouse button shortcuts.
Added
- The Command Bar. One shortcut opens a field that finds and runs anything,
including the menu commands of the app in front. Under Command Bar, off by
default. - App updates. One list of the apps with a newer version, ticked the way you
want, updated together. Under App updates. - A snippet menu. A shortcut opens your snippets in a searchable list and
picking one types it at the cursor. Under Text snippets. - A super key. Hold Caps Lock and it becomes Shift, Control, Option and
Command together, for shortcuts nothing else uses. Under Super key. - Mouse button shortcuts. Any extra mouse button can press a key
combination for you. Under Mouse. - Full Screen joins the window layouts, the same one the green button gives.

ones into a folder you pick. Thanks to @ruvelro. - The last capture outline in the screenshot selector can be hidden.
Thanks to @ruvelro. - W closes the highlighted window in the app switcher, leaving the app
running. - The app switcher can list apps that are running with no window open, the

- Snippet triggers can ignore capitalization, and date variables can follow
the format you want. - Each mouse feature can name apps to leave alone, for apps that use the
wheel and the buttons their own way. Under Mouse. - The app can stay light or dark on its own, apart from the Mac. Under
General.
Changed
- Settings groups App updates, Cleaner, Homebrew and Uninstaller under App
management. - Recording a shortcut keeps the keys to itself instead of triggering the
app or the system. - "Open the editor right after capturing" became the Edit after-capture
action, and existing setups keep working unchanged. - The scratchpad now closes when you click outside it. A toggle under Quick
tools keeps it floating instead. - The app switcher now closes when you click outside it.
Fixed
- Eject all disks now finds every external drive, not only the ones with
media that comes out, like a memory card. On most Macs it used to say no
external disk was ready. - The app switcher now lists windows in the order you really used them. It
follows the windows you pick with the mouse, and windows of the same app. - The hot CPU alert no longer fires on a momentary spike. The temperature
now has to stay above the limit for a few seconds. - Quit on close no longer leaves apps running after their last window is
closed, including apps that hide the window instead of closing it. - The red dot in the panel is gone. It marked the Cleaner as new since an
older version and could stay on screen for good. - Showing the menu bar icon again waits for macOS to place it before
reporting a problem. - Brightness keys step from where the monitor actually is. After a pause the
monitor is asked first, so a screen at 80% no longer drops to one step. - Brightness keys and sliders reach an external monitor again after the Mac
has slept. The connection is looked up fresh on waking. - Copy text from screen works again. The area is now picked with the app's
own selector, the same one screenshots use. - Muting the microphone now cuts every microphone, not only the one macOS
is set to. An app pointed at a headset of its own goes quiet too. - The app pickers list every app again, including the ones macOS keeps
outside the applications folder. - The App Switcher and Dock previews now show windows from other desktops
too, and an option keeps everything to the current one. - Q in the app switcher quits from the Q on your keyboard, on layouts that
put the letter somewhere else. - Undo works in the screenshot editor, and clicking an annotation selects
it instead of drawing on top. Thanks to @ruvelro. - The Homebrew settings page no longer breaks in narrow windows.
Thanks to @ruvelro. - Opening the Cleaner page no longer blanks the Settings sidebar on the
newest macOS, and its tool switcher shows again. - Restoring the panel's quick controls also brings back a hidden Text
snippets toggle. - Boosting an app's volume above 100% no longer crackles at loud moments.
- The green button and window layout tools now resize slow browsers
properly instead of leaving them small or misplaced. - Volume levels for some games and tools were not saved since 3.1.15. They
are saved again and old ones come back. - The mixer repairs its audio path by itself after the Mac wakes, instead
of leaving an adjusted app silent. - An app you turned down no longer plays slowed down, or falls silent, on
earbuds during a call and on some other outputs. Thanks to @danilo-alm. - Paste as plain text no longer leaves the pasted style on what you type
next in some rich text apps. - Shelf items now follow their files across moves and renames. Only a file
that is really gone steps aside, with a note instead of a drag nothing
accepts. - The Drives tab no longer shows a drive's format and location twice.
- External monitors no longer go dark while adjusting brightness, and a
reconnected screen always comes back visible. - Minimizing several windows from the Dock icon animates them together
again, and restoring them ends with the right window on top and
focused. Thanks to @Zvzdov. - Monitor blocks in the menu bar sit centered again on macOS 26 and
earlier. Thanks to @wzxu.

v3.1.15
Summary
Vorssaint 3.1.15 fixes starts that could leave the app with no menu bar icon
or quit it right away, freezes where the app stopped responding, a crash
while choosing a screenshot area, and an external display that could go dark
and stay dark. It also gives back the clicks that moving windows by dragging
was taking from other apps, repairs smooth scrolling, the brightness keys and
the shortcut recorder, and brings the window switcher back on the first
press.
Fixed
- Moving and resizing windows by dragging no longer takes the modifier click
away from other apps. A click that does not move now goes to the app as
usual, and the window only follows the pointer once you actually drag. - The window switcher opens on the first press again after you close every
window of an app or move to another desktop. With nothing left to switch to,
the shortcut now stays quiet instead of falling back to the system switcher. - Smooth scrolling moves the right distance on mice that report the wheel
continuously, and the speed setting now works on them. - Smooth scrolling no longer reverses the scroll direction on its own.
Inverting the direction works alongside it, and so does Shift to scroll
sideways. - The app could start with no menu bar icon and quit a few seconds later.
It now starts reliably, including on a Mac whose display was still waking
up. - The app could quit at startup right after an update, while the tour of the
new features was opening. The tour now keeps the same size on every page. - The app could stop responding for a while at a time, often right when
headphones or another audio device connected. It no longer waits on the
audio system, on other apps that are busy, or on commands that never
answer, and it stops watching audio properly when the mixer or the mic
mute is switched off instead of leaving watchers behind. - An external display could go dark while its brightness was adjusted and
stay dark until it was unplugged. It recovers now, and a screen switched
off here comes back at the next start. - Choosing a screenshot area no longer quits the app when the drag ends with
more than one finger leaving the trackpad. Cancelling with Escape is safe
too. Thanks to @lei1024. - Window Switcher previews show the whole window. A window pushed over the
edge of the screen used to appear as a thin strip. - Brightness keys follow the pointer on keyboards other than the built-in
one, including with the lid closed. - Per-app volume no longer jumps loud or quiet when an app changes what it
is playing. Quitting or switching the mixer off puts back the input
device and the volume it changed. - The panel stays under its icon when the menu bar is set to hide itself.
Switching tabs no longer moves it to the edge of the screen. - Recording a shortcut captures it instead of running it. Delete clears the
shortcut, more keys can be recorded, and the field no longer overlaps the
text beside it while it listens. - The radial menu settings now say whether the app can see the mouse button
you picked, so a button the mouse itself has taken over is obvious.

v3.1.14
Summary
Vorssaint 3.1.14 adds a radial menu that puts your favorite actions on a
wheel around the pointer, Camera preview, a floating mirror for video
calls, and a scratchpad that keeps quick notes in a floating window and
saves as you type. A short tour presents the highlights once after the
update. Screenshots gain a pixel loupe, QR code reading and
solid color blocks, the clipboard history can keep up to 1000 items, and a
long round of fixes covers typing lag with the App Switcher on, brightness
keys on external monitors, Launch at Login, the Volume Mixer and more.
Added
- A new radial menu puts your favorite actions on a wheel around the
pointer, from apps and links to media controls. Hold the shortcut or an
optional side mouse button, point and release. Off by default in Settings
under Radial menu. - Camera preview opens a small floating mirror with your webcam from the
panel, the quick panel or a shortcut. It picks between cameras when more
than one is connected and closes when you click away. - A scratchpad keeps quick notes in a small floating window that saves as
you type. It opens from the panel, the quick panel or a shortcut, and can
clear itself after days unused. - The optional brightness overlay shows the percentage after brightness
changes on the Mac screen and external monitors. Off by default in
Settings under Energy. - Screenshots can skip the floating preview and open straight in the
annotation editor. Off by default in Settings under Screenshot. - The screenshot selection now has a pixel loupe for precise captures.
Press Z to show or hide it and scroll to zoom. Thanks to @ruvelro. - Copy text from screen now reads QR codes and shows their content so you
can copy it or open the link. The same works from a screenshot's preview
and editor. You can turn it off in Settings. - The Disks panel now shows each drive's file system format, like APFS or
exFAT, next to the drive name. - The clipboard history can now keep up to 1000 items. Pick the size in
Settings under Clipboard. Thanks to @ruvelro. - A short tour opens once after the update, showing the new features with
a button to set up or try each one right away.
Changed
- Dock Preview now works with Dock magnification enabled, so the zoom effect
no longer needs to be turned off. - The black bar in the screenshot editor is now a solid block that can use
any of the palette colors. - Window Switcher now moves to the last item in a shorter next row when the
down arrow has no item directly below.
Fixed
- Typing no longer lags in demanding apps while the App Switcher is on.
Under heavy load, key presses could arrive late and then land all at
once. - Brightness keys now really follow the pointer on external monitors that
macOS drives natively, including with the lid closed. Presses used to
land only on the built-in display. - Vorssaint no longer crashes right after launch when macOS returns no power
source data for the battery readings. - Closed lid mode no longer asks for the administrator password on every
toggle. The one-time setup is now verified for real and repaired with a
single prompt when it stops working. - Smooth scrolling now works with mice that report the wheel as continuous
scrolling. Their events were mistaken for a trackpad and skipped. - Apps that run through a compatibility layer now show up in the Window
Switcher. Focusing one no longer makes the shortcut fall back to the
system switcher. - Browsers that play sound through helper processes now show up in the
Volume Mixer. macOS does not credit that sound to the app, so the mixer
traces it back on its own. - Back/Forward mouse buttons now reach apps that handle them natively, like
browsers, virtual machines and remote screens, instead of being captured.
Finder and other apps keep the converted navigation. - The Shelf area under the menu bar icon no longer appears while a window is
being moved or resized. It only opens for a real file or content drag. - Launch at Login no longer turns itself off after the app restarts. The app
restores the setting when macOS drops it and now explains when it runs from
a place that cannot open at login. - Extra Brightness no longer drops briefly as video enters or leaves fullscreen.
- Monitor blocks in the menu bar, including the usage bars, no longer sit a
couple of pixels above the other status icons on macOS 26 (Tahoe). - Settings sidebar rows no longer slide over the search field while
scrolling on macOS 26 (Tahoe). - The macOS permission prompts now appear in the language the app speaks
instead of English only.

v3.1.13
Summary
Vorssaint 3.1.13 adds a screenshot tool with a quick preview and optional
editor, brightness and power controls for
all your displays, a Quick toggles tab, automatic Keep Awake rules and compact
usage bars in the menu bar. It also keeps Extra Brightness steady around
fullscreen video and returns Finder to the Volume Mixer.
Added
- Screenshot captures an area, window or screen. A compact
preview offers copy, save, delete and editing, with stickers, annotations,
precise crop, optional shadows and backgrounds in the editor. - Display controls for the Mac screen and external monitors in the menu bar
panel and Settings. Adjust brightness, turn a display on or off and
optionally let the keyboard brightness keys follow the pointer. Enable
Displays under Energy settings. - A new Quick toggles tab offers one-click actions such as switching between
light and dark mode, emptying the Trash, ejecting all disks and hiding
desktop icons. It appears in the menu bar panel and in the quick panel. - The battery's estimated time remaining can appear in the menu bar and the
Power panel. The menu bar reading is off by default and can be enabled in
Settings. - Keep Awake can start with an external display or while connected to power.
Combine both conditions in Options or Energy settings. - Keep Awake can use the Vorssaint, coffee, eye, moon or lightbulb icon while
active. Choose the icon and its color in Options or Energy settings. - Window Layout moves and resizes windows from any point with a trackpad or
mouse. Drag with chosen modifiers to move, add Shift to resize, or use the
mouse's right button. It is off by default in the panel and Settings. - CPU, GPU, memory and disk use can appear as compact bars in the menu bar.
Choose Values or Bars and adjust their colors and medium and high limits in
Monitor settings. - Cleaning Mode now blacks out every display while the keyboard is locked.
- Korean is now available throughout the app and can be selected in Settings.
Thanks to hyo.c (@pshyomin) for the translation.
Changed
- Package updates now stay at the top of the installed list, with clearly
labeled controls in the panel. - Monitor alerts now explain when limits trigger a notification, when short CPU
spikes are ignored and that the time setting only delays repeated alerts.
Fixed
- ⌘Tab now falls back to the system switcher when a fullscreen app does not
expose a switchable window. - Smooth Scrolling now moves horizontally while Shift is held.
- Dock click to minimize now reacts immediately in more apps and no longer
opens unrelated windows. - Closed lid mode now asks for the administrator password only once.
- Extra Brightness no longer flashes when video enters or leaves fullscreen.
- App Switcher now includes apps that draw their windows separately, with
working previews. - Finder stays available in the Volume Mixer for Quick Look audio. A switch
at the bottom can hide it. - Clipboard History no longer crashes when automatic URL cleaning inspects the
same copy.

v3.1.12
Highlight
Vorssaint is massively optimized, with up to 95 percent less CPU and
energy use than 3.1.11. Cooler, quieter and easier on your battery.
Summary
Vorssaint 3.1.12 adds a Features hub with one click bundles and honest
energy badges, an onboarding that sets the app up from one answer, a
floating permission guide, text snippets, settings backup and a cleaner
that reaches the storage macOS calls Other. It is also far lighter on
CPU and fixes extra brightness during HDR video, Dock icon dragging and
Dock clicks on Java apps.
Added
- A Features hub in Settings installs and uninstalls whole features.
What you uninstall disappears from the entire app and stops loading,
so it uses no CPU, memory or energy. Nothing is deleted and installing
brings it back as it was. Its Permissions tab shows which features use
each permission and flags granted ones nothing is using. - Start with a bundle. Three one click packs in the hub shape the app
for volume, windows or battery, and every feature now wears an honest
energy badge telling what it keeps alive while on. - Onboarding now ends asking what brought you here. One answer applies
the matching bundle and setup finishes already shaped for it. - A small floating guide appears when a permission needs a trip to
System Settings. It shows the three steps and notices the grant by
itself. - Text snippets turn a short trigger into your text, right away or
after a space, with date, time and clipboard variables. Off by
default, in the panel's keyboard controls and in Settings. - The cleaner now reaches the storage macOS calls Other. Old iPhone and
iPad backups appear with device and date, never preselected, and
stale Xcode DeviceSupport caches join the developer junk. - Settings backup exports your whole setup to a file and imports it on
another Mac. In the Advanced settings.
Changed
- Deep energy work across the app. Mouse movement, typing, menu bar
metrics and permission checks stop repeating work they had already
done. Everything looks and behaves exactly the same, just cooler.
Fixed
- Extra brightness no longer flickers or drops out while HDR video plays
or goes fullscreen. The boost now holds steady and follows the panel
smoothly. - Clicking the Dock icon to minimize now works with Java apps such as
DBeaver. Windows the system reports slowly or not at all get a second
look, and apps without a Minimize All menu use their plain Minimize. - Dock icons can be dragged and reordered again while Dock clicks are
on. The click now acts when the button lifts, so press and hold turns
into a normal drag. - The side buttons option no longer shows the invert scrolling text
while active. - The menu bar panel opens centered under the app icon again. Newer
macOS builds could strand it against the screen edge until the tabs
changed. - Hovering a Dock preview can no longer pull a minimized window back
out. A window whose state cannot be verified now stays untouched, and
a Dock that restarts while previews are blocked is picked up again.
