Added

• Dynamic Island can show the keyboard input source when it changes. Settings → Dynamic Island → Activity → Indicators.
• Dynamic Island can open and close with a keyboard shortcut. Settings → Dynamic Island → Behavior → Opening.
• Dynamic Island set to Hidden until hover can appear for activities, indicators and notifications, then hide again. Settings → Dynamic Island → Behavior → Opening → Show activity and indicators.
• Dynamic Island can find covers for YouTube and YouTube Music in Firefox, Zen and other Firefox-based browsers. Cover lookups stop when disabled and ignore outdated replies. Settings → Dynamic Island → Content → Music → Find covers for Firefox and Zen.
• AI Agents can show limits for each separate Codex account. Settings → Dynamic Island → Content → AI Agents.
• The screenshot editor adds Spotlight, canvas expansion and editable images pasted with Command-V; previews can copy text when Copy text from screen is installed.

• The window switcher can limit how many items fit in a row. Settings → Window switcher → Options → Maximum columns.
• Window layout can snap windows moved with the modifier drag when Snap windows at screen edges is on. Settings → Window layout → Window dragging.
• The scratchpad shows Markdown task lists as checkboxes, and Shift-Return continues a list.
• App Updates can exclude any app, including one with no update showing. Settings → App updates → Update exceptions.

Changed

• Dynamic Island has a simpler layout, a compact music player and page controls beside the camera. Pin, Settings and Close move to the context menu.
• Dynamic Island's clipboard page opens on the last copy, keeps search behind a button and can show compact entries. Settings → Dynamic Island → Content → Clipboard.
• Dynamic Island closes when a file or link is dragged out of its Shelf, making room for the drop destination; a pinned island stays open.
• AI Agents reads Claude's limits through Claude Code when installed, including use on other Macs.
• Command Bar opens and searches faster, with smoother opening inside Dynamic Island.
• Clipboard history's sensitive-text filter is off by default, including after upgrading, and no longer rejects ordinary commands, output or links just for words such as "token" or "password". Confidential copies and ignored apps stay out. Settings → Clipboard history.
• Volume mixer sliders follow perceived loudness while preserving saved levels, and the headphone-disconnect setting can now silence the speakers.
• Settings → Features uses Install and Uninstall buttons instead of switches.
• Release notes shown before updating can be turned off. Settings → About → Updates.

Fixed

• Quit Protection lets macOS Command-Tab handle Q for the selected app, and sends confirmed quit shortcuts through to remote desktop and virtual machine sessions.
• Quit on close keeps apps running when windows are minimized or floating controls, slideshows or Open dialogs remain.
• The window switcher, Dock Preview and Watch pause captures when macOS takes too long to check screen access, reducing the risk of a logout under heavy load. Thumbnails also pause while the display sleeps or the screen is locked.
• The window switcher, Dock Preview and Command Bar omit closed windows and helper entries, and selecting a window brings only that window forward.
• The window switcher includes apps such as Xcode's Device Hub and can show fullscreen windows from other desktops when Show fullscreen windows is on.
• The wind

Summary

Clipboard history that can expire old items and a hidden Dynamic Island that still shows activity, plus fixes for AirPlay, displays, battery updates and more.

Highlights

• A hidden island that still shows activity. Dynamic Island set to Hidden until hover can come into view for activities, indicators and notifications, then hide again. Settings → Dynamic Island → Behavior → Opening → Show activity and indicators.
• Clipboard history that expires. Items can be removed after a set number of days, while pinned items stay. Settings → Clipboard → Keep items for.
• ⌘Tab under secure input. When the window switcher replaces macOS ⌘Tab, the shortcut no longer goes dead while another app has secure input on, as password fields do.

Added

• Clipboard history can remove items after a set number of days, while pinned items stay. Settings → Clipboard → Keep items for.
• Dynamic Island set to Hidden until hover can still come into view for activities, indicators and notifications, then hide again. Settings → Dynamic Island → Behavior → Opening → Show activity and indicators.

Changed

• Dynamic Island closes when a file or link is dragged out of its Shelf, so it no longer covers browser tabs or other places to drop it. A pinned island stays open.

Fixed

• Dynamic Island's Now Playing page shows the Explore button again when Explore is not a floating button, and can grow a little to fit it while a song plays. The System page shows it too where it had no top row, such as on displays without a notch.
• Dock Preview avoids waiting on a frozen neighboring app when hovering the uncovered Dock.
• Mirrored displays stay listed with their own display brightness controls and power button, including the built-in screen.
• Battery readings update promptly when connecting or disconnecting power, including when background monitoring uses a longer interval.
• Screen capture's dimmed overlay keeps covering the display when switching between screenshot, recording and color picker.
• Volume mixer controls show their own tooltips, with the reorder hint kept on each app's icon and name.
• Command Bar keeps meaningful digits in large calculator results and reused expressions while still hiding small rounding noise.
• App names in the Settings window, clipboard history and Dynamic Island's player no longer end in ".app" when the Finder shows all filename extensions.
• The volume mixer's AirPlay stream pauses once routed apps go quiet, so iPhones and HomePods stop showing the Mac as playing, and sound comes back after pausing from the phone.
• Command Bar copies a script's output and closes when the script row was reached by part of its name or opened from its shortcut.
• Settings says when the chosen display keeps Dynamic Island off displays without a notch, such as a monitor beside a MacBook, and offers All displays. Settings → Dynamic Island → Layout → Displays without a notch.
• Focus follows mouse keeps Chrome's address bar suggestions and other pop-ups open when the pointer moves between them and their window.
• App Switcher, Dock Preview and Watch pause window captures while macOS is slow to check the app's permission to see the screen, which could log you out under heavy load. Thumbnails also stop updating while the displays sleep or the screen is locked.
• App Updates stops showing false updates for apps numbered differently in the public catalog, such as Private Internet Access, Sonos, Sublime Text and Positron, and lists apps it can't compare, such as Unified Remote and Android Studio, under Versions not compared.
• A custom Dynamic Island width applies to Controls, Now Playing and Timer again, and the Layout preview shows the island at the size it opens. Settings → Dynamic Island → Layout → Size.
• On a display without a notch, Dynamic Island hidden by Hide content in full screen opens on hover, not only with its shortcut.
• A timed screenshot preview on Dynamic Island set to Hidden until hover closes on its ow

Summary

Dynamic Island now works on Macs and displays without a notch, on every display at once and on the Lock Screen. It adds a companion, Watch for any window, more AI agents, and new music, audio and calendar controls, while using much less battery. Window layout gets configurable snap areas, screenshots can go to the Shelf or a temporary link, and many bugs are fixed.
