Cats Lock 1.1.0 is out 🐾
Hi there,
A small update with a few things you actually asked for.
Cats Lock 1.1.0 is on the Mac App Store today. It's a free update for anyone who already bought the app.
What's new
- Lock from any app. Your unlock shortcut now works system-wide, so you can lock the keyboard without bringing Cats Lock to the foreground first. This was the #1 thing people wrote in about.
- Customize your shortcut. Don't love ⌘L? Record your own combo in Settings.
- Hide from Dock. Optional menu-bar-only mode. No Dock icon, no Cmd+Tab presence.
- Prevent sleep while locked. Keeps the display awake so the overlay stays up if you step away from the desk.
A few smaller things
- First-time Stealth Lock shows a quick "here's what to expect" so it's not a surprise.
- Launch at Login now boots quietly into the menu bar instead of opening the app window on every login.
Full release notes live at catslock.app/releases if you want the details.
Thanks for being early to this. Cats Lock has been an indie project of one person and one cat from the start, and the feedback from this list and the App Store has shaped almost every line item in 1.1.0.
