What's new.

Improvements

• Saydrop: copied dictations now show up in Pasteback, like any copy, so a dictation you haven't pasted yet is never lost.

Fixes

• Saydrop: switching apps or windows no longer cancels a dictation, hands-free or holding fn. At the end, the text goes into the app you started in if it is in front again; otherwise it is copied, ready for ⌘V.
• Saydrop: if a password prompt takes the keyboard mid-dictation, Saydrop stops and copies what you said before it, never typing anything. A dictation started in a password field still writes and copies nothing.

Improvements

• AI limits: in the Hub's AI limits card, the time gone by in each window is now a short vertical mark on the usage bar, as on the island, instead of a white line across the top. Fill behind the mark means you're under pace; past it, ahead.
• Live Island: with several AI sessions and music playing, the music's disc shows on the side with room, and the « ×2 » count makes way if needed.

Fixes

• Live Island: a reached AI limit, once shown for its 10 minutes, no longer comes back after quitting and reopening Toolnotch.

Fixes

• Saydrop: with hands-free on (fn + Space, then fn let go), typing in a field while you talk no longer loses every space. Space reaches the app as soon as fn is up, and the dictation goes on.

New

• Toolnotch 2 is out for everyone: the Live Island, your Mac's daily moments in the notch, AI agents, Saydrop, the new hub and the shelf (see 2.0.0 to 2.0.2 below). Your licence includes it.
• Music on the lock screen: the cover and the controls while the Mac is locked; click the cover to see it full screen. When the player's cover is small, « HD covers » looks for a sharp one on Apple's and Deezer's search (on by default, can be turned off in Settings › Daily Mac).
• Crash reports, only if you agree: after a crash, Notchi asks at the next launch whether to send the report, and shows exactly what is sent. Settings › General › Help: Ask, Always or Never.

New

• Saydrop, dictation that stays on your Mac. Hold fn, speak, release: the text goes in at the cursor. fn + Space keeps listening hands-free. Your words show live under the notch or at the text caret. Transcription runs on the Mac and nothing is sent anywhere; the speech model downloads once, on first use. A glossary fixes tech terms and learns: ⌘⇧Z right after a dictation shows what changed.

Improvements

• Brightness HUD: external monitors are driven over DDC on macOS 15 and 26 too, with the built-in screen as fallback.
• Headphones: « See battery » shows up only when the battery could not be read after connecting.

Improvements

• Staywake's page has the durations: 30 min, 1 h, 3 h or ∞ in one click under the state, a second click stops it, and ↩ starts or stops. « Always ignore » sits next to « Not this time ».
• The download bubble's ring fills with the download's progress, like the shoulder's.
• In the hub, an action run from a tool's page confirms once, in the tool's card.

Fixes

• Staywake with the lid closed: reopening the lid could leave the built-in screen black, mostly with an external display or a charger plugged in at the same moment. The screen now always comes back at its brightness. While the lid is closed it dims to a faint level, never to zero.
• Staywake's tile says « Stopped » and « Active » with the right words in every language.

New

• Live Island: what runs on your Mac lives around the notch. A timer, Staywake, an AI agent at work, a download, the music. Hover to see more, click to open its card. A Mac without a notch gets a virtual one.
• Your Mac's daily moments in the notch: music with its controls, volume and brightness, AirPods and headphones with their batteries, the Mac's battery, downloads, your next meeting with « Join », calls (Zoom, Teams, Meet: mute, camera, leave) and notifications. Reply to a message without leaving what you do. Each source has its own switch, and Notchi explains every permission before macOS asks.
• Claude and Codex show their work like the music. A question waits in the notch until you answer it, and long answers stay readable in the card.
• A new hub: your tools, your shortcuts and what is running, in one place. Stop a running activity from the hub.

Improvements

• Shelf: files you drop on the notch stay at hand, the last four in view and the rest one click away.
• One colour per tool, and Dynamic Glass now follows macOS's Liquid Glass setting.
• Your licence includes Toolnotch 2.

Improvements

• Staywake says what the administrator access is for, before macOS asks. « Stay awake with the lid closed » asks for your password once. Notchi's card and the setting now say that this access only turns sleep off and on, nothing else, and that you can remove it in Staywake's settings.

New

• Staywake keeps your Mac awake with the lid closed. Turn on « Stay awake with the lid closed » and an AI agent or a long job keeps running with the Mac shut in your bag, even locked. Sleep comes back at the battery level you choose (20 % by default) or if the Mac gets too hot, and as soon as Staywake stops. macOS asks for your administrator password once.
• The screen goes dark while the lid is closed, and its brightness comes back when you open it.

Improvements

• Staywake has its own drop: click Staywake (or press 4 in the hub) to see what keeps the Mac awake and for how long, start 30 min, 1 h, 3 h or ∞ in one click, and turn on the lid option. ↩ starts or stops. Right click keeps the short menu.

This version brings everything from the 1.3.14 to 1.3.17 betas to everyone: read those entries below for the rest of what changed since 1.3.13.

New

• Answer Codex from the notch: a question Codex asks you shows on the island with its choices, as Claude's do, and one click answers it in Codex. Free text, secrets and long lists still go to the terminal.
• Allow or deny Codex commands and file changes from the island, even without the Toolnotch hook set up in Codex.

Improvements

• « Show » on a Codex CLI session opens its own Terminal tab.
• Codex question islands carry the AI's ring and figure. A question left unanswered for 60 s leaves the « is waiting for you » pill at once; « Answer in the terminal » brings the terminal forward with no pill.
• Lighter in the background: AI limits reads a session's transcript again only when it changed, so Toolnotch's periodic CPU spikes are about three times smaller.

Improvements

• « Show » on a Claude Code or Codex session in a background Terminal tab on another Desktop now takes you to that Desktop and opens the tab, instead of pulling the window to the Desktop you are on.
• The window switcher (⌥⇥) reaches windows on other Desktops more reliably, including ones not shown since Toolnotch started.
• Claude Desktop's Code tab alone now shows its ring. Settings › AI limits has « Copy diagnostic ».

Fixes

• AI islands are more reliable, and typing stays smooth while they update.
• No waiting pill is left behind after « Show » on an approval island.

Fixes

• Fixed excessive CPU usage with Claude Code when status-line hooks from Toolnotch and Toolnotch Dev called each other in a loop. Existing hooks are repaired automatically on launch.
• Custom status lines are preserved when switching installations, including recovery when an old installation record is missing.

Codex in the notch

• Codex's questions show in the notch, with « Show » to go back to the right terminal tab or the Codex app.
• Allow or deny Codex permission requests from the notch, through Codex's hook (install it in Settings › AI limits, then approve it once in Codex with /hooks; Settings shows « Active in Codex » when done).

Islands

• Bodybreak's « Break soon » island has 1 / 5 / 10 min buttons to push the break back.
• Islands that only took a click now have a button (Allow, Stop, Undo, Open), so you can reach them before they step aside.
• New quieter island buttons: outlined, with no colour fill.
• AI limits: shorter settings texts, and limit islands have an Open button.

Fixes

• Check for Updates no longer freezes the app when a drop is open; the check answers in the notch.

AI islands you can act on

• Claude Code's questions and permission requests show in the notch: pick an answer or allow the action right there (opt-in, through a hook you add).
• Finished sessions show Claude's last words and how long it worked, grouped by session.
• « Show » opens the session's own tab or window in Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty or cmux, after Notchi explains the Automation permission.
• Islands step fully aside under the pointer and come back when you leave.

Accounts and apps

• Claude Desktop alone gets its quota ring, and Cursor sessions are shown.
• Several Claude logins are detected live, and a Claude Desktop Code session counts on the account the app is signed in to.

Fixes

• No more phantom « …usage-scratch… finished » islands from another notch app.
• Show reaches the right tab when Terminal has empty windows.

Each Claude account shows its own limits

• With a second Claude Code login (for example ~/.claude-work next to ~/.claude), the session from one account no longer paints the other's ring: each ring shows its own session, week and reset.
• Sessions from a second login now show their context and model in the list, like the first one's.
• A limit hit on one account no longer marks the other as blocked.

Fixes

• « Retoucher » no longer quits Toolnotch when opened from the shelf on some pictures with no repeated watermark.

Two Claude Code logins, two honest rings

• With a second Claude Code login (for example ~/.claude-work next to ~/.claude), a session on one account no longer paints the other's ring: each ring shows its own session, week and reset.
• A limit hit on one account no longer marks the other as blocked.

Every account's sessions

• Sessions from a second login now show their context and model, like the first one's.

A layout gives you exactly its Desktops

• ⌘1 creates the Desktops a layout uses and removes the ones it doesn't, on every display, even the one you are on. Windows on a removed Desktop move to the last one kept, and ⌃⌥⌫ brings the Desktops and their windows back.
• In the layout editor, « + » adds a Desktop and × takes one out. A Desktop the layout will remove shows as « Retiré au ⌘1 »; ↺ keeps it. Turn it all off with « Ajouter et retirer des bureaux ».

Two windows of the same app, two zones

• When a layout puts two Terminal windows side by side, each window goes to the half nearest it instead of being left where it was.

Fixes

• ⌃⌥⌫ sends a window back to its Desktop on the other display.
• Maximized windows join a pile only when a grid pile was filled whole.
• Bodybreak no longer shows « Break deferred » during a call or a presentation.

Undo puts everything back

• After a layout quit some apps, ⌃⌥⌫ reopens them and puts their windows back on their Desktop, where they were.

This version brings everything from the 1.3.8 and 1.3.9 betas to everyone: Timer, Mixer, and Wyndow's panel in three tabs.

Wyndow's panel, in three tabs

• Placer, Dispositions, Règles: one job per tab. ⌃⌥Space opens Placer, ⇥ goes to the next tab, and each tab explains itself the first time.
• Placer: your displays the whole width. Hover the window you are on: halves, thirds and Focus appear over its display, click one to put it there. The chips below do the same, with their keys.
• Dispositions: your layouts as cards. Apply, edit, or save what is on screen with ⌘S. In the editor, click a window to give it a half, a third or the whole screen.
• Règles: choose where an app opens, on which kind of display, and how: as it is, on a half or a third, maximized, or full screen.

New: « Minimize other windows »

• A layout can send to the Dock every window it does not place, even an extra window of one of its apps. Off by default; ⌃⌥⌫ brings them back.

Fixes

• A window going to another display's Desktop now gets there.
• Undo brings minimized windows back.
• « Save this screen » keeps windows that sit outside a half or a third.
• The hub's « Dispositions » button opens the right tab.

This is a beta: tell us how the new panel feels.

New: Timer

• Pull the notch down to start a timer: the further you pull, the longer it runs, from 1 minute to 2 hours, and you feel each step on the trackpad. Or type « 9m pasta » in the hub.
• It rings like your phone's, with the sound you choose.
• In the hub, click Timer to see your timers and set one on the h / min / s wheels (drag them with the mouse or the trackpad). Right click for quick durations.

New: Mixer

• Each app's volume from 0 to 200 %, mute it, or send it to another output. Click Mixer in the hub to open it; right click for the output and quick mutes.
• See how loud it is: each app shows an estimate in dB, green under 80, yellow up to 90, red above.
• One app at a time: « Set all to 0 % » silences every app, then raise the one you want.
• Type it in the hub: « spotify 40 », « mute slack », « unmute slack ».
• Apps in a call are never touched. The first change asks macOS for « System Audio Recording »: Toolnotch handles the sound, nothing is recorded.

This is a beta: tell us how the Timer and the Mixer feel.

Onboarding

• Permission prompts are no longer hidden. « Allow screen access » now moves the onboarding out of the way while macOS asks, so the prompt and System Settings can be read and clicked. The onboarding comes back once the prompt is answered.

Wyndow

• A new panel (⌃⌥Space): a live map of your displays and their Desktops, the actions for the window in front, your layouts and the journal, in one view.
• Add apps that aren't open to a layout: « + App… » in the layout editor finds any installed app; it opens when you apply the layout.
• Reorder a layout's Desktops by dragging them along their strip. ⌘N starts a new empty layout.
• Grid: windows you already set side by side stack when you ⇧-drop one onto another, and ⌃⌥↩ on a stacked window fills the whole stack (again to put it back).

AI Limits

• The real Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, Gemini and Copilot logos in the rings, which are larger: 22 pt in the hub, 26 pt in the island.

Carnet

• The button always says where you are: « What's new » while something new is untried, « To discover » while basic features are left to try, then « Carnet ».

Also

• A drop (clipboard, hub, Wyndow) opened on a full-screen app's Space now shows there, first time.

This is a beta: tell us how the new Wyndow panel feels.

New tool: AI Limits

• See how much Claude, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot you have left, in the hub's top line: one ring per AI, the current session first. Press 0 or click the rings for the detail: every window (session, week, each model's week), when it resets, and the sessions running now.
• An island when a session is done or waits for you (a permission, a question), with a sound. A click brings its terminal to the front.
• A warning before the limit, another when it's reached, and one when it's back.
• For exact Claude figures, Toolnotch can add one line to Claude Code's settings (its status line). It keeps a backup, and your own status line looks the same.

A new hub

• Type to find anything: a tool, an action, a setting, a clip.
• Tools without a card sit in a row under the cards. Hold ⌘ to see every key; ⌘E to reorder the cards and pin tools.
• The Carnet (the book at the bottom): every feature of every tool, how to try it and its keys. When something is new, the button says « What's new ».

Wyndow

• Your windows follow you from one desk to another. Plug in the display at home and Wyndow puts your windows back as they were, display by display. Unplug one and its windows come to the ones that stay. ⌃⌥⌫ undoes it.
• Desktops in your layouts, created when missing. Full screen: ⌃⌥⇧↩, next to Maximize.
• ⇧-drag grid: two columns, the other windows join. Drop a window on another to stack them; ⌃⌥P and ⌃⌥⇧P go through a stack.

Staywake

• The screen stays on by default, and turns off when you lock your Mac.

Also

• Wider islands that read whole in every language. Reading the screen (⇧⌘2) recovers on macOS 27.

This is a beta: tell us how AI Limits and the new hub feel.

Pasteback

• Retouch an image from the shelf. Select an image in Pasteback's shelf and choose « Retouch » to open an editor in the notch, with four tools:
  • Erase watermarks, text and objects. A repeated watermark is taken off the whole picture in one click, the photo under it restored rather than repainted. Text found on the picture is framed: tick the frames, or paint over what should go. Erasing uses an on-device model, downloaded once (95 MB), on Apple silicon.
  • Hide faces under pixels, a blur or a solid block, all of them in one click, or any zone you draw.
  • Cut out the subject and put it on a transparent, blurred or plain background, then touch up the edge with a brush. A transparent result is saved as PNG.
  • Crop with handles, a free frame or fixed ratios (1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 16:9, the original).
• Every step can be undone (⌘Z) and redone (⇧⌘Z), or picked from the list of steps. Zoom with a pinch or ⌘+, and ⌘F gives the editor the whole screen.
• The result lands on the shelf as « name (retouched) », next to the original, which is never changed.

Pasteback

• ⌥⌫ now works in a ,, search. Deleting a word with ⌥⌫ removes it from the search too, so what you type next finds the right clip.

Search what you copied without leaving what you're typing.

Pasteback

• Type ,, then a few letters, in any app. A line under the notch shows the clip that matches, and « 1 / 7 » when more do. Your text stays where you typed it.
• ⇥ pastes it in place of ,, and your letters. ↓ opens Pasteback with your search already filled in, to pick another one. Esc, or any other key, closes the line.
• Change the trigger or turn it off in Settings › Pasteback › Snippets & expansion › Search as you type.

Put your pinned clips in the order you want.

Pasteback

• Drag a pin to move it. In Pasteback, drag a pinned clip left or right along the pinned row: the others make room, and it stays where you drop it. Its ⌃1…⌃9 shortcut follows, so your favourite clip can always be ⌃1. A plain click still pastes it.

Wyndow gets a window switcher: hold ⌥ and press ⇥.

Wyndow

• New: every window, from the notch. Hold ⌥ and press ⇥: a drop unfolds from the notch with a picture of each of your windows, the one you used last first. Press ⇥ again to move, ⇧⇥ to go back, and let go of ⌥ to be there. It reaches windows on your other desktops, in full screen, minimised or hidden.
• Type to find one. Hold ⌥ and type a few letters of the app or the window's title. Once you type, you can let go of ⌥ and keep typing; ↩ goes there.
• Do more on the way. ← or → goes to the window and puts it on that half of the screen. ⇧W closes it, ⇧Q quits its app, ⇧M minimises it.
• ⌃⌥⇥ shows only the windows of the app in front.
• Your settings. Settings › Wyndow › Window switcher turns it off, limits it to the desktop you are on, or shows the apps' icons instead of pictures (pictures need Screen Recording). Both keys can be changed in the shortcuts.
• AltTab users: Wyndow tells you once that AltTab uses ⌥⇥ too, so you can pick one key for each.

The shelf tab and « Quit the other apps » now see all your desktops.

Pasteback

• The shelf tab stays on every desktop. After you visit an app in full screen, the tab is back on each of your desktops, not only some of them.

Wyndow

• « Quit the other apps » reaches every desktop. Applying a desk now also lists the apps whose windows are on your other desktops, and the ones with no window open (QuickTime with no movie). As before, it asks first and every app can be unticked.

Your screenshots wait on the shelf for a day, shortcuts work in password fields, and Wyndow keeps your windows straight when you plug and unplug.

Pasteback

• Screenshots land on the shelf by themselves. Take one and it waits on its own row of the shelf, apart from the files you put there, with the hours it has left. A day later it leaves the shelf; the file stays where your Mac saved it. Press ⌘P to keep one longer. Turn it off in Settings › Pasteback › Shelf.

Shortcuts

• They work in password fields. With a password field in front, ⇧⌘C and the other Toolnotch shortcuts no longer go dead or reach the app instead.

Wyndow

• Plug and unplug your display without surprises. Windows waiting on a Space you are not looking at keep their place when the displays change again, and a replug moves each window once, with one message.
• Native tabs keep their size. Switching tabs in Terminal no longer shrinks the window to another display's height.
• Focus remembers. ⌃⌥↩ brings the window back where it was even after an update or a relaunch, from any of its tabs, and a window already in place says « Already there ».

Everywhere

• Drops always show. Pasteback and Bodybreak no longer open on a Space of your external display you are not looking at.
• Bodybreak off hours. « Resume » outside your working hours starts a session with breaks, which ends by itself when you leave.
• Staywake lists each command once when two of its jobs run.

A new tool, Staywake, keeps your Mac awake while your work runs. Wyndow makes room for you, and Bodybreak counts right.

Staywake

• New tool. Click Notchi in the hub's footer to keep your Mac awake for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours or until you stop it, with or without the screen on. His eyes stay open while it runs, and a low battery stops it.
• It also works on its own. While a command in your terminal is actually working (a build, a download, an AI agent), your Mac stays awake; it lets go two minutes after. Finish a long job while you are away and the notch tells you when you come back: « claude finished · 42 min ».

Wyndow

• Windows make room. Snap a window onto a half another window fills: that window slides to the other half instead of hiding behind. ⌃⌥⌫ undoes both in one go.
• Resize side by side together. Drag the edge between two windows and the neighbour follows, at any speed, and stops at its smallest size.
• Focus with ⌃⌥↩. One press fills the screen with the window, the second puts it back exactly where it was.
• Desks span your macOS Spaces. ⌘S saves the windows of every Space; applying the desk places the Space you are on now, and each other one as soon as you go to it.
• Native tabs move as one window: a Terminal with several tabs is placed once, not lost behind its own tabs.
• Your windows come back after sleep. Unplug your display, close the lid, open it at home: Wyndow no longer forgets your layout on the way, even across an update or a relaunch.
• Windows you just arranged keep that arrangement. Snap two windows side by side on your display, then unplug it or close the lid: they come back side by side on your MacBook, not stacked where they were this morning.
• Terminal and other busy windows are recognised even when their titles keep changing.
• New: « Quit the other apps » on a desk. Apply it with ⌘1 and Wyndow offers to quit everything that is not part of it. It always asks first, never quits Finder, menu bar apps, music that is playing or the apps you keep, and ⌃⌥⌫ reopens them.
• In French, Wyndow's desks are now « Dispositions ».

Bodybreak

• Counts right. Today's counts reset at midnight, the weekly report always comes, a snooze counts only when a break was near, and « Later » before a meeting works.
• Simpler. Settings in six groups, one Snooze, the same intervals everywhere, and one word for each thing.

Pasteback

• More private: nothing from a password manager touches the disk, and link previews skip links that carry a token.

The notch

• Nothing hides under the hub any more. A message that arrives while a drop is open waits and shows once it has folded, and the notch's messages are now only as wide as what they say.
• Islands step aside for your pointer. Half a second after it arrives they fold; one you can click comes back when the pointer leaves, and stays so you can click it.
• ⌃⌥N opens the hub from anywhere, even on a Mac without a notch.
• Shortcuts never stay dead after you click away from a shortcut field.
• Your data now lives in « Toolnotch » in Application Support, moved once from « Silex ».
• Toolnotch now needs macOS 15 or later.

Meet Notchi, and a copy that stays out of your way.

Pasteback

• « Copied » no longer covers your tabs: a copy now shows beside the notch, never below the menu bar, and folds at your next click or key. On a screen without a notch, it is a small pill inside the menu bar.
• The preview stays put while you move the pointer across other clips to reach Paste.
• The shelf tab never shows over a full-screen app, and has a thin scroll bar of its own.

Notchi

• Toolnotch's mascot says what the notch is doing: his head when you drag a window or a file up to the notch, his face on states (recording paused, a secret copied) and moments (an update installed, a Bodybreak streak).
• One Islands setting in General: With Notchi, Minimal, or Off (only what needs you still shows).
• A new onboarding, notch first, with a try for each tool.
• New app icon: Notchi's face in the island.

Wyndow

• Your halves survive an unplug during sleep: windows wait for macOS to list them before being put back.

More polish on the shelf.

Pasteback

• The island shows on the screen you dropped on, not on another display.
• Islands show over the shelf tab, never under it.
• Button names on hover stay on top of the shelf's action bar.
• Pasteback opens in the grid by default (a layout you chose is kept).

Fixes for the shelf, from the first hours of 1.1.2.

Pasteback

• The shelf tab is its full width again, thumbnails and count inside, rounded corners.
• Thumbnails stay in their card: wide screenshots no longer spill over their neighbours.
• Double-click on the tab centres it on the screen it is on.
• Actions show what they did, right there: the result is chosen with its receipt, and a line at the bottom of Pasteback says what happened.
• Resting the pointer on the tab no longer unfolds a preview: a click opens the shelf.

The shelf gets its own place in Pasteback, and the tab follows you.

Pasteback

• The shelf has its own block: a tray button beside the grid/list toggle opens it (⌘T). Choose cards, then AirDrop, Compress, Remove metadata, Convert or Pin. The history shows only what you copied again.
• Drag files back out into Mail, Slack or Finder, one or several at once.
• The tab hangs under the menu bar on every screen. Drag it along the top edge or to another screen; double-click puts it back. Rest the pointer on it to see your latest files; right-click for its options.
• Try it from the start: the welcome shows dragging a file to the notch and copying text from the screen.
• Fixed: shelf cards could not be chosen or dragged out in 1.1.1.

The shelf moves into Pasteback, and shows what it did.

Pasteback

• The shelf lives in Pasteback: a « Shelf » chip and a strip beside your pins, only while it holds files. After a drop, the island says « Kept on the shelf » with « See ⇧⌘C ».
• The shelf tab shows on the screen where you last dropped files, as a pill in the menu bar on a display without a notch. Choose every screen, or hide it, in Pasteback › Shelf.
• Receipts: Compress shows the size before and after; Remove metadata lists what it removed and checks the written file.
• Compress keeps the format: a PNG with transparency stays a PNG. An image already light enough is copied as is.
• Convert while dragging: JPEG · PNG · WebP · HEIC sit beside Keep.
• On any copied picture or file: ⌘K offers Keep on the shelf, Compress, Convert, Remove metadata and AirDrop.

Pasteback gets a shelf: drag files to the notch and keep them there.

Pasteback

• The shelf: drag any file toward the notch and drop it on « Keep on the shelf ». A small tab under the notch shows what waits; click it to drag the files back out, one or several at once, into any app.
• Act in one move: drop images on Compress or Remove metadata, and the result is on your clipboard, ready to paste. AirDrop is there too.
• On the shelf: Compress, Convert (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, AVIF), Remove metadata, AirDrop, Pin, Show in Finder. Sizes over 5 MB show in amber.
• Your original files are never moved or deleted. Files leave the shelf after 7 days unless pinned; change it in Pasteback › Shelf.

Wyndow, rebuilt around how you actually arrange your windows.

Wyndow

• Bureaux: layouts and workspaces become one thing. ⌘S saves your windows per display; the desk comes back by itself when the same displays are plugged in. ⌘1–⌘5 apply a desk, one ⌃⌥⌫ undoes it all.
• Ranger replaces Tidy: ⌃⌥= once for your two latest windows side by side, again for three, again for all.
• Raccourcis: the panel shows the shortcuts that matter, with your own keys.
• Drag to the notch: a large map of your real displays, with halves, thirds, quarters and your desks. Hold ⌃⌥Space to aim without dragging.
• Shortcuts and Spotlight: apply a desk, arrange or undo from your automations.
• Windows stranded on another desktop are put back when you go there; Terminal and similar apps no longer leave a gap between two halves.

Everywhere

• Every key shown matches your keyboard layout. On AZERTY, Ranger's default key moves to the key that types « = ».
• Notices always show on a screen that is on, even with the lid closed or a display unplugged.
• Toolnotch tells you when another window manager is running, and leaves screen edges to macOS when its tiling is on.

Updates now install themselves, and a round of fixes across the three tools.

Updates

• Updates download in the background and install while you're away: when you haven't touched the Mac for a few minutes, with no break, call or panel in the way. Toolnotch relaunches in a second and tells you what's new.
• Prefer to choose? Turn off "Install updates automatically" in Settings › General: a quiet note in the notch tells you when an update is ready.

Wyndow

• A window dropped back on its own zone snaps into place instead of staying under the notch.
• Apps with a minimum size (Slack, for one) stay on screen from every placement: drag, edge snap, Tidy, workspaces and app rules, not only the shortcuts.
• Tidy leaves hidden apps alone, and the Center tile keeps the window's size, like ⌃⌥C.
• ⌃⌥⌫ can be recorded as a shortcut.
• A workspace bound to your displays applies at launch only when the displays changed since Toolnotch last ran.

Pasteback

• Your history is never trimmed because of the licence state.
• Copies made from the drop (Markdown, without prompt…) no longer show up as new clips.
• A snippet without a name takes its first line as its name.
• Text files show their first lines instead of a blank tile.
• ⌥↩ stays visible on commands in a narrow preview.

Bodybreak

• Clicks beside a break card reach the app below.
• Opening the hub or another panel during a break no longer ends it.
• Snooze postpones the break by 5 minutes, everywhere.
• Skipped breaks are counted once.

Everywhere

• Shortcuts come back on their own when Accessibility is granted again, and Toolnotch no longer opens System Settings at launch.
• Your licence is checked while the app runs, and a Mac that was offline for a while is never locked by a single failed check.
• French uses "vous" throughout.

The first release. Three tools in the notch, one purchase.

Wyndow

• Keyboard snapping on ⌃⌥: halves, quarters, thirds, two-thirds, maximize and center.
• Press the same shortcut again to cycle ½ → ⅔ → ⅓, then move the window to the next display.
• Unplug an external display and every window moves onto the laptop; plug it back in and they return where they were.
• Undo any window action with ⌃⌥⌫. The island shows the action and its undo key.
• Workspaces: arrange windows across screens, open, hide or quit apps, run a Shortcut, and pause Bodybreak breaks, with one keystroke or when a display connects.
• Per-app rules, tidy all windows (⌃⌥=), and drag a window to the notch to pick a layout.
• Remappable shortcuts with conflict detection.

Bodybreak

• 20-20-20 screen breaks in three modes: Gentle, Moderate and Strict.
• A 30-second heads-up in the island before each break.
• Pauses automatically during screen recording, calls and meetings, video playback, deep-focus apps and fullscreen games, and offers a break when a call ends.
• Waits for you to stop typing before a break starts.
• Long guided breaks every 90 minutes, blink and posture nudges.
• Daily panel, weekly report, and streaks that count a day when at least 80% of its breaks were taken.

Pasteback

• ⇧⌘C drops your history from the notch, as a list with preview or a grid.
• Real app icons, favicons and link previews, with readable types.
• Secrets are masked on screen.
• Paste Stack, pinned items, snippets and search.

Everywhere

• The notch hub: click the notch or the menu bar icon to see all three tools.
• On displays without a notch, panels hang from the menu bar.
• Respects Reduce Motion.
