- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts: rebind search, layout switching, and the appearance toggle from Settings.
• Refreshed app icon with native Liquid Glass styling on macOS 26.
• Smoother layout switching with stable scrollbars and no source-code flash on launch.
