What’s new.

New

• Clipboard history now shows a thumbnail preview for copied images, so two screenshots are no longer indistinguishable — you can tell them apart without pasting first.

Improved

• Save-folder paths are now clickable: tap the path to open the folder in Finder. The screen-record section gained the same shortcut, replacing its separate Browse button.

New

• Never Sleep now has a lid-closed option that works on battery, for finishing a download or render with the Mac in hand. It's the one mode nothing turns off for you, so it asks you to confirm — switch it off when you're done.

Improved

• The plugged-in lid-closed mode is clearer about what it does: it stays awake only while plugged in and turns itself off the moment you unplug, so it can't drain in a bag.
• Redesigned the Tweaks tab with System Settings–style grouped cards, and added hover cards explaining each Never Sleep mode and when to use it.
• The "log out to take full effect" banner in Keyboard settings now appears only when you've actually changed something this session, instead of always.

Fixed

• Fixed the Log Out button in Keyboard settings — it now reliably starts logout, and if macOS blocks it, points you to the menu instead of doing nothing.

New

• New Keyboard tweak: set how fast keys repeat and how long to wait before they start — faster than macOS's own sliders allow, with a one-tap Fast preset and a Reset to default. Takes full effect after you next log out.

New

• If you unplug while it's on, Macaveli now switches it back off for you automatically — so it can never keep the Mac awake and draining inside a closed bag.

Improved

• The "even when the lid is closed" level now only turns on while your Mac is plugged in.

Improved

• Never Sleep now keeps the screen itself on, on battery as well as power — not just preventing system sleep.

New

• Add your own labels to clipboard items so they're easier to find.

Improved

• Renamed "Shortcuts" to "Hotkeys" throughout the app for clarity.
• The app version now shows next to the name in the menu header.

Fixed

• Stopped the clipboard panel from jumping around with a scroll loop.

Improved

• Removed the keyboard repeat-rate tweak — it changed a system-wide setting that only applied after logout, so it never reliably worked.

New

• New Never Sleep control with three levels: off, awake while the lid is open, or awake even when the lid is closed to keep an external display on.

Improved

• The lid-open level needs no password and switches off automatically when you quit Macaveli; the lid-closed level asks you to confirm before changing a system-wide setting.

Fixed

• More reliable switching, clearer error messages, and sturdier reading of the system sleep state.

New

• Added a configurable key-press wait interval.

Improved

• Karabiner-style key repeat replaces the old trigger delay for snappier, more predictable shortcuts.
• The menu popover is now split into Shortcuts and Tweaks tabs.
• Modernized the top-right menu trigger with a ghost-button affordance.

New

• External displays now stay awake when the laptop lid closes.
• Save annotated screenshots straight to disk from the Annotate window.

Fixed

• Move and resize now work on the Annotate window.
• Aligned the "Check for Updates" row with the rest of the menu.

New

• Clipboard history — a searchable, local-only record of everything you copy.
• Screenshot-to-clipboard capture with a confirmation toast.
• Draggable camera overlay for screen recordings.

New

• Annotation tools — select, move, resize, rotate, and delete placed annotations, with a tool-aware cursor.
• Signed + notarized DMG pipeline with self-hosted downloads.
• Launch at Login is enabled by default on first run.

Improved

• Recordings now capture system audio only — microphone capture removed.

Fixed

• Maximize and center now work on Slack and other Electron apps.
• Register Macaveli with macOS before opening System Settings so permission prompts behave.
