Release Notes

What's new in Hudlum?

Hudlum 1.1.1

March 17, 2026

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Fixed a bug where the volume indicator's speaker image wasn't drawn with retina resolution. (Hat tip to QWER on Discord.)
  • Worked around a rather mysterious issue where on some Macs, volume bar segments weren't drawn correctly for certain volume levels. (Another hat tip to QWER on Discord.)

Hudlum 1.1

January 27, 2026

New Features

  • Added the "Classic Segments" indicator style, with a more traditional layout and volume bar segments that represent partial values via width, rather than opacity. If the "Segments" style is too much of a deviation from what you're familiar with, try this one.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • The little sound waves coming out of the speaker icon now assist the volume bar in representing the system volume.
  • Fixed a bug in the app store version where if Hudlum was set to appear in the menu bar, the settings window would appear on launch regardless of the corresponding setting. (Hat tip to Alshakno.)

Hudlum 1.0

December 19, 2025

Initial Release

Hudlum 1.1.1 requires macOS 26 Tahoe or newer. The release notes are an interesting read.
