Version 2.2.0

Appearance release

PowerClick now looks the way you want it to. Light, Dark or Auto, Liquid Glass Clear or Tinted, and nine theme colours that reach every surface of the app.

Appearance

Settings then Appearance offers Light, Dark or Auto. Auto follows macOS, including the automatic switch at sunset. The choice reaches the dashboard, the menu bar popover, the ShortClick ring, the toast and the Services panel.

Liquid Glass

Clear or Tinted, matching the pair System Settings offers. On macOS 26 this uses the native Liquid Glass material rather than an imitation of it.

Theme colour

Nine choices: Multicolor, which follows your system accent, plus Blue, Purple, Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Graphite.

Light mode

Made genuinely readable rather than a dark theme with the switch flipped. Card materials, separators, captions and text on coloured fills were all reworked so contrast holds under both appearances.

Finder menu

Fixed four Finder extension menu labels that had no translation in any language, so they no longer fall back to raw keys.

Languages

Restored nineteen missing strings each in Spanish, French, Dutch and Portuguese. Localization coverage is now checked automatically on every release.

Privacy

No new permissions and no new entitlements. Appearance is stored in PowerClick's own preferences and changes nothing outside the app.

Version 2.1.0

Major feature release

ShortClick: a radial menu that works anywhere in macOS, not only inside Finder. Favourite apps, snippets, clipboard history, automations and window snapping, all one shortcut away.

ShortClick

A radial menu that opens under your cursor. The inner ring picks a category, the outer ring picks the item. Five categories: Apps, Snippets, Clipboard, Automation and Windows.

Triggers

Open it with a keyboard shortcut you record yourself, or by holding Command and Shift and right-clicking. Both can be turned off independently.

Flick to launch

Hold the trigger, throw the cursor toward the item you want and release. No second click.

Windows

Window snapping with twelve actions on the frontmost window: four halves, four quarters, maximize, center, move to the next display, and restore the previous position. Off until you enable it, and it uses the public Accessibility API.

App actions

Drag an app wedge outward for New Window, Bring to Front or Quit without leaving the ring.

Context aware

When Finder is in front with files selected, the app wedges become "open the selection with this app" instead of plain launchers.

Auto-paste

Optionally paste a snippet straight into the app you were typing in, instead of only copying it. Off by default.

Automation

Ring items that open a URL or run one of your own Shortcuts. Shortcut names are read from Shortcuts so you can pick from a list instead of typing one from memory.

Accidentally moved or renamed a file? Undo Last Action brings it back with one click.

Quick File Info copies file name, path, size, creation and modification dates, and image dimensions straight from the right-click menu.
