Turn it on in Settings > General, then reopen Keeby from Applications or Spotlight whenever you want the icon back. - More consistent loudness across every switch profile. - Volume and Mute Sounds moved to the top of the menu bar for quicker access. - Cleaner menu hovers and icons in light and dark mode.

- Seven new switches: Lofree Flow 2 Surfer, Void, and Pulse. Akko CS Jelly Black, V3 Cream Yellow, and Clicky Pink. Plus the community-contributed Aflion Carrot Orange. - IQUNIX MQ80 rebuilt from clean recordings. The squeak is gone. - Keychron K2 Max Red got a full sound refresh. - A new What's New experience: watch each new switch pour into a glass jar with real physics, straight out of your notch.

Your keystrokes orbit your head. Headphones on, obviously. - And a bunch of small touches everywhere. - More bug fixes +

- Switches dropdown is back. Instead of a horizontal scrolling gallery, picking a switch now uses a familiar vertical menu that's faster to scan, hover-previewable, and works great with keyboard navigation. - New Extras tab in Settings: hide the novelty Lizard switch profile and the Faah enter sound if they're not your vibe. Toggle them back anytime. - Sound submenus stay open while you audition options. Pick a Mouse Click or Enter Sound, hear it instantly, and try the next one without reopening the menu. - Polished menu rhythm: hint text right-aligns cleanly, rows share a consistent height, and the Visualizer submenu now matches the width of the others. - Volume icon flips to muted the moment you pick "None" for Mouse Click or Enter Sound, so the menu state matches the audio state immediately. - Settings window opens centered, every time.

- New switch: IQUNIX MQ80 — low-profile linear (Kailh POM Gold Red, 40g). Samples shared by Alex (@aliszu). Find it in the Switches gallery, tagged NEW. - Keystrokes Visualizer: a new overlay mode that shows the keys you press as small pills next to your cursor. Modifier combos collapse into one pill (⌘ S). Perfect for tutorials, demos, and screen recordings. Switch to it in Settings > Visualizer. - Notch Wheel Picker: open the Notch Overlay and scroll past the new switch wheel; an arrow on the side points at the active switch, and each one previews as it lands. Spin it like an iPod. - Show in Dock: new General setting to make Keeby appear in the Dock and Cmd+Tab, in addition to the menu bar. Off keeps the original menu-bar-only feel. - Hide Notch Overlay In Fullscreen: new toggle (default on) so the notch overlay disappears cleanly when you watch fullscreen video, present in Keynote, or play games. - Visualizer Position Menu: split into "Follow Cursor" and "Pin to Screen" sections so the choice is clearer. - Smoother slider haptics: dragging a slider on a Trackpad now ticks at clear detents instead of buzzing continuously.

Two new switches, a bigger Switches picker, and per-sound volume. New switches • Akko V3 Piano Pro: smooth linear with a snappy bottom-out. Samples by @aliceinnny. • Keychron K2 Max Brown: soft tactile with a warm, mellow thock. Samples by @himanhacks. New Switches gallery Picking a switch now opens a horizontal gallery with bigger previews, descriptions, and contributor credit chips you can tap to visit the sample source. Per-sound volume Dial mouse clicks and the enter stinger independently from your typing volume. Sliders live inside each submenu. F-row media keys Brightness, volume, play/pause, and the rest of the F-row now play switch sounds too. Your actual media controls still work exactly as before. Glass visualizer themes Two new translucent themes for the notch visualizer: Glass Dark and Glass Clear. On macOS 26, they use the real Liquid Glass material. Quality of life • Fresh installs start with the notch visualizer off so it stays out of your way until you turn it on. • Lower idle CPU while the notch overlay is hidden. • Picking a visualizer pin or style now auto-enables the visualizer. Note We skipped straight from 1.3.1 to 1.4.1 because 1.4.0 had an inconsistent sample on Akko V3 Piano Pro. This build fixes that so every keypress sounds the same clean way. Thanks for the continued love, and big shoutout to the community contributors who made this release possible.

Smoother everywhere - Keeby now feels lighter and more responsive across the board, especially while typing with the visualizer on. Snappier menu bar - the dropdown menu reacts instantly now. No more lag when hovering quickly across items or moving between submenus. New mouse click sounds - fresh lineup of three tiers with Filipino names: Bagsik (Hard), Sibat (Crisp, new), Dampi (Thocky). Toaster Ding on Enter - a crisp little ding joins Stamp Press and Pho in the Enter Sound picker. Colored submenu icons - Mouse Clicks and Enter Sound get tier-matched colored icons so you can pick your vibe at a glance. Pause on Headphones - new opt-in toggle in Settings > Volume. When you plug in headphones or connect AirPods, Keeby goes quiet so clicks don't mix with your music, podcasts, or calls. Off by default. Plus a bunch of smaller polish across menus, animations, and settings.

Favorites - save your tuned configs and swap between them in one tap. Each favorite captures the full snapshot (switch, 2D Sound Pad position, spatial audio, volume normalization, per-key feel, home-row softness, mouse and enter sound effects). Save up to 6, with a "+" on each switch row to snapshot your current setup. Combo counter - arcade-style streak counter that rewards fast typing with hype feedback when you're really in the zone. Toggle the visualizer style between Keyboard and Combo in Settings > Visualizer. Per-key feel - home-row keys (A S D F J K L ;) sound softer like whisper taps, while stretch keys (numbers, brackets, far corners) punch harder, mimicking how you naturally press lighter on keys your fingers rest on. Dial the intensity with the new Home Row Softness slider. Per-hit jitter - ±25% gain and ±5% pitch variation per keystroke so consecutive presses of the same key sound subtly different, no more mechanical repetition. Volume normalization - levels out the volume across switch profiles so swapping from a loud one (like K2 Max) to a quieter one doesn't blow your ears out. Toggleable in Settings > Sound. Four mouse-click tiers - Mouse Clicks now offers Hard, Medium, Soft, and Softest tiers (up from just Default and Soft). Hover any tier in the menu to preview it three times before committing. Hover-to-preview - hovering a mouse click or enter sound option in the menu now plays a 3-tap preview so you hear the tier before you pick it. 2D Sound Pad true center - the tone pad now has a clear outline ring marking the neutral middle position, with a "Reset to Middle" button. Reorganized Settings - Sound and Visualizer tabs split into clean labeled sections (Profile, Volume, Tone, Feel, Extras / Display, Behavior, Position, Theme) so finding a setting takes one glance. Cleaner shortcut UI - redesigned the enable/disable shortcut row in Settings with a minimalist recorder pill and a custom tap-count stepper. Plus - refined theme tile previews, fixed the Visualizer Scale slider not sticking, fixed thocky-side loudness drop on the 2D Sound Pad, polished the menu bar dropdown layout, and many smaller improvements.

- Enter Sound Picker: choose from different enter key sounds (Stamp Press, Pho) or turn it off. Replaces the old toggle in Settings > Sound. - Visualizer Offset & Scale: adjust how far the keyboard visualizer sits from your cursor and resize it. Find both sliders in Settings > Visualizer. - 3D Switch Preview: hovering over switches in the Notch Panel now shows a spinning Cherry MX switch model with the correct stem color and a press animation. - Idle Sleep Fix: Keeby no longer prevents your Mac from sleeping when idle. The audio engine now suspends automatically after 8 seconds of silence. - Multi-Monitor Fix: the Notch Overlay now stays on the correct screen when connecting or disconnecting an external monitor. No more restart needed. - Visualizer Stuck Fix: fixed the keyboard visualizer getting stuck on screen when using CMD+KKK shortcuts or disabling Keeby while it's visible. - Selected Switch Highlight: the currently selected switch now shows a subtle background in the Notch Panel so you can tell which one is active.

Available in Settings > General and in the dropdown menu. - Audio stability fix - resolved crackling and distortion issues, especially noticeable on headphones.

Adjustable dismiss delay: control how long the visualizer stays visible after you stop typing (0.3s to 5.0s).
