Changelog

What's new in each Pier release. Newest first.

Improved

• Preferences redesigned into a macOS-style tabbed window, plus a new About tab.
• Safer auto-updates — atomic swap with rollback, never lose the app.

Fixed

• Activation edge cases — rollback on save failure; scanners report errors instead of empty lists.

Improved

• Deactivation now frees the activation slot automatically — switching Macs is fully self-serve.

Fixed

• 2.0.0 wouldn't launch — restricted entitlement killed the app at launch; re-download fixes it.

Added

• Service identification on the Ports tab — ~40 frameworks & services.
• Project directory per port — click to reveal, right-click for terminal / editor.
• Docker / Podman container name resolution.
• Launch Agents management on the Dev tab.
• Menu bar badge for failed Launch Agents — passive notification.

Pricing

• Pricing — pay what you want: from $0.99, suggested $6.99. One-time, 5 Macs, fresh 14-day trial for existing users.

Fixed

• First-launch keychain prompt — skip keychain entirely while the free-promo is active.

Fixed

• macOS 15 ports list — lsof can't see root-owned ports, netstat fills the gap.
• Brew Services — filter out formulas that aren't actually managed by brew services.

Added

• Process search — matches by command + resolved app name, ignores Top N while searching.
• Configurable Top N for the Processes list (10–500, or show all).

Changed

• Preferences reorganized — fewer sections, less scrolling.

Removed

• Per-process network sort (private API too unstable).

Fixed

• Dev tab no longer hangs when container daemon isn't running.

Added

• VPN-aware hint on the process network panel.

Fixed

• Major performance fix.
• EWMA smoothing.

Added
