Release notes
Changelog
1.1.3 — July 14, 2026
- New: the Dock icon now follows your Mac's light/dark appearance automatically — or pin it to Light or Dark from the new appearance toggle in the header.
- Fixed: the Dock icon rendered edge-to-edge with no padding, making it look larger than every other app in the Dock. It now follows Apple's standard icon grid, sized and spaced to match.
1.1.2 — July 13, 2026
- twoplus11 wordmark credit in the footer and update panel.
- Occasional, low-pressure prompt to support twoplus11 after extended use — never more than once, easy to dismiss for good.
1.1.1 — July 12, 2026
- New: clearer Help and Review buttons in the header, so support and feedback are one click away.
1.1.0 — July 11, 2026 · Fixes that work, and folders
- New: PDF shrink that actually works — the most common "why is this PDF huge" case (embedded photos) is now a one-click fix. Heftr downsamples the raster images to ~150 DPI via a Quartz image filter while text and vectors stay vector — never rasterized, so the copy is smaller but still crisp and selectable. It shows the projected size from a real dry-run and refuses gracefully when a PDF can't be shrunk safely (text-only, already efficient, or password-protected).
- New: Folder mode — a mini-DaisyDisk — drop a folder (or an
.app) and get an interactive, fully accessible treemap of what's eating the space, biggest first, plus a ranked list and the biggest individual files anywhere in the tree. Click any block to drill in; a breadcrumb walks you back. The scan streams a live item count and never blocks the UI. - New: Target-size mode — "get it under X MB" picks the gentlest fix intensity that still fits, for images, PDFs and Office/ZIP media, and tells you the projected result before writing. If the target can't be reached safely it says so and saves the smallest it could manage.
- New: Batch — drop several files at once to rank and compare them, drill into any one, and shrink every item that has a safe fix in one go.
- New: Copy report — one click copies a clean plain-text summary of any breakdown to the clipboard.
- Improved: PDF analysis now memory-maps the file instead of reading it whole, so even very large PDFs are inspected without ballooning memory.
- Improved: the Squishr hand-off now copies the file's path to the clipboard so it's one paste away.
1.0.0 — July 11, 2026 · Initial public release
The first release. Drop one file, see what's eating the bytes.
- The X-ray — drop any file and get a breakdown of exactly what's taking up space, a plain-English verdict, and a one-click smaller copy where it's safe. Every breakdown reconciles to the real on-disk size of the file.
- Office / ZIP (docx, xlsx, pptx, zip, epub) — members bucketed into Media, Fonts, XML/content, Embedded objects and archive overhead by on-disk size, with the single biggest member named. Working fix: re-encode oversized PNG/JPEG media (max 2048 px, quality 85) into a smaller copy — the document stays valid and the original is untouched.
- Images (jpg, png, heic, tiff) — byte-exact split of pixel data vs an embedded EXIF preview vs the ICC color profile vs metadata. Working fix: re-encode at quality 85 and strip the preview & metadata.
- PDF — stream-level accounting (Images / Fonts / Content streams / Document structure) from the raw bytes, with a precise recommendation.
- Video / audio (mp4, mov, m4v) — per-track Video vs Audio vs container overhead with a bitrate verdict, and a clean hand-off to Squishr for the actual re-encode.
- App bundles & folders — a size tree ranking the heaviest children (a mini-DaisyDisk), read-only.
- Anything else — a compressibility probe that tells you whether a
.zipwould help, with a one-click compress-to-zip fix. - The bar — a genuinely beautiful segmented breakdown bar with a matching ranked list, live segment ⇄ row cross-highlighting, and per-segment tooltips. Light + dark, WCAG 2.1 AA, full keyboard navigation, respects reduced motion.
- Never modifies your original — every fix writes a (smaller) / (compressed) sibling copy alongside it.
- 100% local — nothing is uploaded; the only network calls are the optional license check and update check.
- Free for personal use; $5 business license. Silent weekly update check, in-app "Report an issue", and a gentle rating prompt.
