Wednesday, February 14th, 2024Butler 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.
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.
Witch 4.5 is out
Wednesday, November 17th, 2021Witch 4.5 is out, with a couple of minor fixes. We resolved a problem that caused an incorrect free updates expiration date to appear on the license (in the About tab), and we worked around an issue caused by the new too-tall menu bars on the 14″ and 16″ notched MacBook Pros. You could read the release notes, but that’s about all you’ll find there.
As usual, you can update via the in-app updater, or by installing a fresh copy of the System Preferences panel from the Witch web page.
