## 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. ## 1.4.1 - Added a setting to hide the menu bar icon for users who prefer opening Launchie from the Dock. - Launchie now keeps running normally in the background when the menu bar icon is turned off, so hotkeys, hot corners, and Dock launching still work. - Added new Pro options: you can now choose between Monthly Pro, Yearly Pro, or Lifetime Pro directly in Launchie. - Existing lifetime customers are still supported. Earlier one-time Pro purchases continue to unlock Launchie Pro permanently. - Added a new Quick Access placement setting. You can now keep Quick Access pinned above the grid or place it inside the main scroll area. - Improved Spaces in light mode. Selected space icons and chip outlines are now easier to distinguish against bright backgrounds. ## 1.3.11 - App installs and removals now show up much faster in Launchie. New and deleted apps are detected almost instantly in most cases, while the regular background refresh remains in place as a lightweight fallback. - Fixed an issue where some iPhone, iPad, and web apps could disappear from Launchie after adding broad custom app directories. ## 1.3.10 - Fixed an issue where non-app files could appear in the "All Apps" view when a custom directory pointed to a broad location. Launchie now validates each discovered .app bundle by checking for a valid Info.plist and filtering out background-only daemons, preventing system internals, framework helpers, and non-macOS files from cluttering the app grid. - Improved horizontal swiping for Spaces and the root view, especially on the trackpad. Space switching now feels more natural and immersive, with better control to prevent accidental jumps across multiple spaces. - Made switching between the root view and Spaces feel faster and more natural by tightening the transition animation and reducing the heavy bounce. ## 1.3.9 - Added "Send to Position" support for folders — right-click any folder to move it to an exact grid position, just like apps. - Fixed "Send to Position" not working when viewing a Space — it now correctly reorders items within the active Space instead of silently modifying root-level positions. - Fixed an issue where Pro purchases were not recognized, causing legitimate buyers to lose access to Pro features. - Restore Purchases now syncs with App Store servers, fixing cases where previous purchases were not detected. - Purchase alerts now show accurate titles and messages instead of a generic error for all non-success outcomes (e.g. "Purchase Pending" for parental approval, or no alert at all when the user simply cancels). - Pro status loads instantly on launch instead of briefly showing the free tier while verifying. - Removed the App Store vs Direct Download version distinction — the app now always checks StoreKit entitlements directly.
