Release notes

2026

Version 10.0.1 – September 2026

Meet the new Network Access tab: it shows how much internet traffic each app uses and lets you block the apps you don’t want online. The menu bar app has been redesigned and now includes network traffic control as well. The Updates database has grown by over 1,200 apps and now covers Safari extensions and Homebrew command-line tools, while updating itself became faster and more reliable. Plus, the new Incompatible Applications filter helps you spot apps that won’t run on your version of macOS, and we refined localization and overall stability.

Version 10.0.1 adds a set of small but important fixes on top of all this.
