SwiftStarter is now Dock+. Your existing settings and app list remain unchanged. - Improved app reordering and fixed two minor usability issues. - Closing the panel now cancels any unfinished renaming. - Improved app access permissions. If an app cannot be opened, an error message is shown, and you can select the app again to restore access.

- Added help, accessible from the menu bar. - Fixed issues with importing settings and the “Launch at login” option. - App icons are now kept when an external drive is disconnected. - Releasing the mouse outside an icon no longer launches the app. - Optimized badge updates to reduce memory usage.

Improved configuration import, added alerts for missing apps, and added support for skipping missing apps.

Improved panel dragging: drag its edge or empty space between app icons to reposition it. Improved how VoiceOver reads the Delete button in Settings.

Improved app drag-and-drop validation: invalid or duplicate apps no longer show an add preview. VoiceOver now reads each app’s current display name.

You can now set a custom display name for apps from the panel or Settings. The current name appears when you rename an app; click “Default” to restore its system name.
