Every release, one tidy list. Your license key covers all updates, no extra charge.
Current version: 1.4.0 · September 12, 2026
Version 1.4.0 Latest
September 12, 2026
Auto updates. TopStart checks for updates when it launches, once a day, and whenever you pick Check for Updates (⌘U). When a newer version is out, you get one click to install it, no re-downloading from the site.
License keys activate instantly. Enter a key and TopStart is unlocked on the spot, no restart, in every copy of the app including downloads from Lemon Squeezy.
Version 1.3.1
September 12, 2026
License key takes effect instantly, no restart. Enter a key and TopStart is activated on the spot in every copy of the app, including downloads served from Lemon Squeezy (previously some delivery channels still served an older build that needed a restart).
Version 1.3.0
September 9, 2026
Notarized by Apple. TopStart is now signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens with a normal double-click, no "unidentified developer" warning. Newer MacOS versions trust it right away.
Version 1.2.1
September 4, 2026
Fixed the menu showing "Trial" right after activating a license key: the status now refreshes immediately, no restart needed.
Version 1.2.0
September 2, 2026
Restore Purchase in Settings, so reinstalling and re-entering a key is one tap.
Find your license key link in the license window, opening Lemon Squeezy My Orders for anyone who lost theirs.
The About window's @cliffwade now points to X, and its support link opens the support page.
Version numbering moved to a three-part major.minor.patch format (1.2.0) for clearer release tracking.
Minor copy and layout cleanups.
Version 1.1
September 1, 2026
License activation and a 7-day free trial. Download and run it fully featured for a week, then unlock with a key you paid for once.
Online key validation against Lemon Squeezy (a one-time check on activation only).
Edit-menu cut/copy/paste now works in every field.
Licensed state is shown cleanly: the activation window hides its fields once you're unlocked.
Version 1.0
August 21, 2026
Initial release: pin shortcuts to the menu bar and run them with a click.
Per-shortcut hotkeys and a global quick-open hotkey (default Option+Command+T).
A Spotlight-style type-to-jump palette.
Shortcut groups, start at login, and per-shortcut open-at-login toggles.
