## 1.5.0 - Added a new Getting Started guide that appears on first launch and can be reopened from the ? button in the bottom-right corner. - Added a General setting to hide the Getting Started help button if you prefer a cleaner launcher footer. - Launchie no longer opens the Spaces help automatically on first start, so new users can begin with the core launcher workflow first. - Settings now open directly inside the Launchie window instead of a separate sheet, keeping the same background, rounded corners, and visual style as the launcher. - Improved Settings on smaller windows with a compact section picker and better responsive layout. - Reorganized Settings into clearer sections: General, Controls, Appearance, Spaces, Apps, Backup, Pro, About, and Advanced. - Moved app-related options like Refresh Apps, Quick Access, Hidden Apps, and App Directories into the new Apps section. - Moved updates, app version, reviews, and feedback into About, and moved reset and quit actions into Advanced. - Replaced the window size slider with separate Width and Height controls, making it easier to resize Launchie from inside Settings. - Pro purchase options now live in Settings > Pro instead of a separate purchase window, with a more responsive layout that matches your selected Launchie style. - Pressing Esc in Settings now returns to the launcher more predictably, while hotkey recording still uses Esc to cancel recording. - Fixed an issue where clicking Add to Dock in Settings could make Launchie appear frozen until pressing Esc. The action now simply reveals Launchie in Finder so you can drag it to the Dock. - Improved Launchie opening and closing performance by moving overlay animations away from window resizing and onto lightweight content animations. - Reduced lag when opening Launchie by keeping app grids alive between overlay sessions instead of rebuilding every item each time. - Replaced per-item grid entrance animations with one smooth container spring, preserving the fly-in feel with much less animation work. - Improved Hot Corner activation reliability on multi-screen setups by preserving the screen selected by the hot corner trigger. - Quick Access can now be shown on Home, in Spaces, and in Folders, with onboarding and Settings toggles for each location. - Quick Access now appears inside the scroll area by default and resolves recent and most-used apps more efficiently. ## 1.4.4 - Made it easier to drag apps into folders while viewing a Space. Folder drops now favor adding the app to the folder, while still allowing precise edge drops for reordering. - Fixed an issue where reordering apps inside a folder while viewing a Space could replace the entire Space with that folder's contents. Folder changes now stay inside the folder, and the Space keeps its original apps and folders. ## 1.4.3 - Optimizations and bug fixes ## 1.4.2 - Added a new `Launch All` action for folders. You can now open every app in a folder at once from the folder header, with a confirmation step for larger launches. - Added a new Spaces placement option. Space chips can now be shown at the top of the header instead of only in the footer. - Fixed an issue where clicking the desktop would not close Launchie, even though clicking another window would. Launchie now dismisses consistently when you click outside the window. - Fixed a Pro authorization issue that could appear after Launchie started while offline or briefly lost Wi-Fi. Launchie now keeps your existing Pro access more reliably and re-checks it automatically once the connection returns. - Added a new Danger Zone reset action in Settings so you can clear all saved Launchie settings, layout data, spaces, hidden apps, custom directories, and folder permissions in one step.
