Five things from everyday use, and the direct download is notarized now. The Wi-Fi chip shows the network you are on instead of just the words “Wi-Fi”, shortened when the name is long and in full in its menu. The system only reveals the network name to apps allowed to use location, so there is a switch for it in the settings — and when location is denied the app tells you why nothing appears instead of staying silent. Bluetooth devices with their battery level, in two places: a compact overview right under the sliders, and a full tool listing every paired device. Earbuds report left, right and case separately. Devices that report nothing say “connected” rather than showing a made-up number. Levels refresh once a minute, with a button for the moment you just put the headphones on. One honest limit: phones do not appear at all — the system reveals their battery level to no app. Microphone on and off, right under the volume slider, with a marker when an app is listening. While the microphone is muted the menu bar icon carries an orange dot, so you can see it without opening the window. Free disk space joins CPU, memory and GPU in the header. A global keyboard shortcut opens the window from anywhere. None is set by default — an app that helps itself to a key combination is a bad guest. There is no camera switch, and there will not be one: the system offers no interface for it to any app. The settings link straight to the per-app camera permissions instead.

Two fixes from everyday use, more room, and a quiet update check. Settings no longer open cut off. The window took its width from an animation that was still running, so the first time you opened Settings the content was clipped and you had to close and reopen. Window size is now set explicitly — which also means the width and height sliders take effect immediately while the window is open. The menu bar icon stays put. It now has its own saved slot, is made visible again at every launch, and restores itself after a display change, waking from sleep or a user switch. If it ever goes missing anyway, just start BarBox again from your usual app search — the running app puts the icon back and opens the window. The window can be up to 1500 px tall, up from 900, and a fresh install starts at 900. The height is capped to what your screen actually fits, with a note under the slider when that happens, and there is a reset-to-default button. New: an update check. BarBox checks once a day whether a newer version has been released and shows a small arrow in the header only if there really is one. You can check on demand in Settings, or switch the automatic check off entirely. Also corrected: the privacy notes now name every host BarBox contacts. The place lookup in Settings has always used a second open-meteo address, but the documentation said four hosts — it says six now, in the app and everywhere else.
