1.1, 12 September 2025

Ready for macOS 26 Tahoe

Improved:

Adds “More” button in various places to trigger album-specific actions

Adds settings to disable the dynamic app icon (macOS 26 only)
Simpler set-up of Claude Desktop using a one-click MCP install file (DXT / MCP Bundle)

Fixed:

Update track list immediately when track ratings is changed externally, too, e.g., via sync from different device
Fix dragging mini player by the album art if queue list was visible on back
Fix for library refresh not doing anything when albums window was closed
Fix missing “Hide/Unhide” context actions when viewing smart collection
Switch bug report mechanisms to mails to auto-attach logs
Minor style tweaks throughout

Note on macOS 26 Tahoe: If you’re on macOS Tahoe, you might notice a slight delay between tracks when listening to Apple Music and therefore no support for gapless playback. This is due to a workaround for the track order otherwise not being respected. This will get fixed in an upcoming version of Tahoe. If you aren’t on Tahoe or don’t use Apple Music, you are not affected. If you use Apple Music, you might want to hold off on upgrading to Tahoe until this is fixed.
