Did you know that today is the 25th birthday of Mac OS X (now macOS, of course)? Our site’s header is a bit of a hint :). In celebration of this milestone birthday, here’s an update to our oldest Mac app, Butler (which turns 23 this year).

Version 4.4.9 is out with a number of fixes, mainly related to bugs changes in macOS. We’ve worked around a macOS 26 issue where, sometimes, clicking at the very top edge of the display didn’t get forwarded to Butler’s menu bar items. And we worked around an issue in macOS 14 where menu fonts weren’t automatically inherited by submenus. There are a number of other fixes which you can read about in the always-intersesting release notes.

As usual, you can update within Butler itself, or just by downloading a fresh copy of the app from our web site—you won’t lose your settings.
