Thanks for 50k downloads of Finicky! github.com/johnste/fini...

Pushed a small Finicky update (4.2.2) to fix a browser activation issue that was introduced in 4.2.1, please let me know if it works out for you

Finicky 4.2.1 is out!

Main change is to move the app from the Dock back to the menu bar. Putting Finicky in the dock was a confusing move to many, and caused a few unforeseen issues, so I'm happy I was able to support the old approach again. github.com/johnste/fini...

Will release another Finicky beta soonish. I think that might be the last one before full release of 4.

Tempted to add ui rules configuration in this same release though, but it'd probably be better to hold of and do it in the next minor release.

Just merged the Finicky 4 rewrite and created a pre-release github.com/johnste/fini...

Will flesh out the release notes later, and the app isn't notarized, so you'll have to jump through a couple of hoops if you want to test it out.

Ok, not releasing anything this weekend, there are things in need of fixing and I haven't had the time

Should hopefully have a first Finicky alpha release out this weekend

Making good progress on Finicky 4.

All major parts are in place, but there’s still some big cleanup and testing ahead.

Pushed a branch of the Finicky rewrite (from Swift/TS to Go/TS) github.com/johnste/fini...

Still quite a way from being a replacement of the old version, but seeing good results from the rewrite so far.

I'm going to save so much time with Slack AI summarizing my DMs – especially the ones I just finished typing myself. Groundbreaking stuff!
