Changelog

ctrlhq updates itself. Here's what changed in each release.

1.0.33November 11, 2026

  • Uninstall, in Settings → License & Data: removes ctrlhq and everything it keeps on your Mac (data, settings, permissions, login items and saved secrets) and frees this Mac's license seat.
  • A copy of your data is saved to Downloads as a zip first, unless you untick it. Recordings, snaps and exported meeting notes are never touched.
  • Reopening the notch while music plays no longer leaves Disk for Now Playing, so a scan's results are where you left them.

1.0.32November 4, 2026

Meeting transcription no longer affects how you sound on the call. The other side now hears you as clearly as without ctrlhq.

1.0.31November 3, 2026

  • Knock: knock twice on your Mac to take a screenshot. Pick a different action in Glide's settings.
  • Screenshots from Knock or a Glide corner save where your screenshots already go, get copied, and the notch tells you.
  • Glide's corner labels now fit inside their boxes.

1.0.27October 24, 2026

  • New, experimental: Cloaking. Share your screen without the apps you pick. Turn it on in Settings › Cloaking, then share the "ctrlhq Cloak" window in Zoom, Meet or Teams: the call sees your screen without Messages, Slack or anything else you have hidden, plus notifications and the Dock, while you still see everything. It can also turn on by itself when a call starts.

1.0.26October 22, 2026

  • Quick answers are more careful: a card only shows when it matches what you asked, so unrelated answers no longer appear. Questions about a dish, a person or a place now look up that subject directly.

1.0.25October 22, 2026

  • Places near you, right in the power bar: type "coffee near me", "pharmacy nearby" or "hotels near 440022" for nearby places from Apple Maps. Apple's place card with ratings, hours and photos opens beside the bar; ↑ and ↓ move it. Return opens Maps, ⌘Return gets directions.
  • Look up any place by name: "place Off The Charts Manteca".
  • Quick answers: ask "who is the prime minister of India" or "what is the capital of Australia", or type web before anything, and a short answer with its source shows up. Return copies it.
  • Emoji search: type a word like fire or party to find the emoji. Picking one copies it and puts you back where you were typing.
  • GIF search: type gif and a few words, then pick one to copy it.
  • New Settings › Integrations, for Apple Maps, Quick Answers and Telegram.
