Many Tricks
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, give your special someone the gift of a Witch 4.6.2 update, which fixes a bug that could occasionally garble vertical switchers. That’s it, no more no less. Update in the Witch System Settings panel, or by downloading a fresh copy from our site.

Wednesday, February 14th, 2024Moom 3.2.26 released
Monday, February 12th, 2024Today’s Moom update fixes a few annoying little things that have popped up, mostly since Sonoma was released:
- Moom will no longer generate a macOS permissions request about accessing data from other apps. (This only affected users using third-party desktop image apps from the Mac App Store.)
- We’ve improved error logging to help diagnose issues Moom may have when interacting with other apps.
- Moom’s pop-up menu now works when the LanguageTool app is running.
- Moom’s pop-up also now works when the TopDrop app is running (Hat tip to Alex P. for reporting this one.)
As always, update from within the app, or just download a fresh copy from Moom’s page (you won’t lose your settings).
Butler and Witch updated
Monday, January 8th, 2024Today we released Butler 4.4.8 and Witch 4.6.1. Both are minor updates to fix issues that cropped up with the release of macOS Sonoma. You can either check for updates from within the app, or just download a fresh copy of the full app from the above-linked pages (you won’t lose your settings if you do this).
Very important note: Due to changes in Xcode, the minimum macOS version required to run the updated apps is macOS 10.13 (High Sierra). If you need a version of our apps for an older version of macOS, you can find it on our Museum page.
Witch 4.6 released
Thursday, August 10th, 2023Witch 4.6 is out, and it’s got a couple of hopefully useful fixes. First off, we finally managed to squash a longstanding issue where web apps wouldn’t recognize that they’d been switched away from when using Witch—this would leave those apps thinking their windows were still in the foreground when they really weren’t. And second, we made some changes that we think will improve the reliability of listing—and switching to—windows on other Spaces. (You can read the release notes if you wish, but these are the only two changes.)
As always, you can update directly from the Witch System Settings panel, or you can download a fresh copy of Witch 4.6 and install it—you won’t lose your settings.
Witch 4.5.3 released
Monday, November 21st, 2022Witch 4.5.3 is out, with improvements in Spaces support and smarter logic when switching after you’ve used a combination of Witch and non-Witch actions to switch windows and/or tabs. We also worked around an issue where an app that provides nonsensical information about its tabs could crash Witch. You can read the release notes, but the above is all they say, though in an easier-to-read format.
If you have Witch set to automatically update, you should see the update now. If you don’t have automatic updates enabled, open Witch’s System Settings panel, click on the About tab, and click Check Now.
Butler 4.4.7 released
Friday, October 28th, 2022Butler 4.4.7 is out; the update addresses a few issues, and is recommended for all Butler users (release notes).
If you’re using macOS 13, aka Ventura, and you use Butler’s System Preferences Smart Item1Butler hasn’t yet adopted the new System Settings name, you’ll probably notice it’s a lot uglier than it was before: We display raw item names, and you’ll see entries that don’t exist when you open the real System Settings app.
That’s all due to Apple revamping the System Preferences app. In the past, the app was basically a wrapper for a number of standalone preference panes. But the new System Settings app has been rewritten as an all-in-one app, where the file-system-level preference panes are merely placeholders, which makes the whole thing a lot less accessible.
We are still pondering ways to deal with this change. In the meantime, the Smart Item works, even though it looks like a work in progress.
Another round of minor updates released
Thursday, August 4th, 2022This time out, here’s what’s changed…
- Butler 4.4.6: Fixed a bug related to dragging and dropping items to Butler icons in the menu bar.
- Name Mangler 3.8: Reworked the Services feature due to changes in macOS 12.5, and made a few other minor changes (documentation, demo mode behavior).
- Resolutionator 2.3: Added support for the M2 MacBook Air and the 27″ Studio Display.
- Witch 4.5.2: Restored tab support in Brave and Edge browsers, and improved VoiceOver support. Note that this update was actually released a while back, but we never documented it here; whoops!
Direct users can update from within the app, or by downloading a fresh copy of the app from the relevant page on our site (you won’t lose your settings). App Store purchasers of Name Mangler should see the update in the App Store app, if not now then shortly.
Witch 4.5.1 released
Tuesday, June 28th, 2022Witch 4.5.1 is out, with only a few changes—Witch can now see tabs in Opera, we worked around a bug in Finder when using a frontmost-windows-only switcher, and we resolved an issue with Chromium-based browsers that caused their tabs to be invisible to Witch.
You can read the full release notes, but they basically say the above in a few more words and with more line breaks. As usual, updates can be found by checking in the Witch System Preferences panel, or by downloading Witch from our site.
