TapNoise 0.2.2

License, Guard Mode and Agent Sounds fixes from a pre-launch audit, plus smaller fixes.

Released

This is the current version.

TapNoise checks for a newer version once a day. You can also get the current version from the download page.

License

  • A saved license keeps unlocking TapNoise for 30 days without a check with Dodo. After that, Settings asks you to connect to the internet to check it.
  • A saved license belongs to the Mac it was activated on. On any other Mac, Settings says so and asks you to enter your key there.
  • If TapNoise can’t read its saved license from the Keychain, Settings says so and suggests trying again later.

Guard Mode

  • Quitting TapNoise while Guard Mode is on asks for Touch ID or your password first.
  • Removing your license while Guard Mode is on asks for Touch ID or your password first.
  • Guard Mode says what your Mac can sense. Without a motion sensor it sounds the charger alarm only, and it says so.
  • Guard Mode saves your speaker volume and mute setting, and restores them when it turns off.

Agent Sounds

  • Agent hooks no longer break when TapNoise is moved or deleted. If you move TapNoise, click Repair in Settings › Agents.
  • A second copy of TapNoise no longer takes over the signals from a running one.
  • TapNoise won’t edit an agent’s settings file it can’t read safely, and says why.

Keyboard, menu bar and Tappy

  • TapNoise listens to the keyboard only while it is on, or while knock commands need it.
  • The menu bar shows a crossed-out microphone whenever TapNoise has muted your microphone, including when a knock did it.
  • The cheat sheet leaves out the Window and Open Recent menus.
  • Break buddy plays its own stretch sound.
  • Clicks pass through the empty space around Tappy, so they reach the windows behind it.

Updates and About

  • Once a day, TapNoise checks for a newer version. When one is out, the menu bar panel shows Download TapNoise with the new version number. The check sends no ID and no cookies.
  • About shows the version you are running.
  • If macOS refuses a change to Open at login, the setting shows what macOS actually has.
