CHANGELOG
What's new
keybars Pro 1.0 · coming
- Notify, builds, coding agents, System, Focus, Typing and Ambient modes

- keybars-pro, a command line for everything the app does
keybars Pro 0.2.0 · 21 October 2026
- Downloads for Windows and macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) beside Linux
- A tray menu to switch mode, scene and theme, or turn the lights off for a while

- Notify keeps a history of the last 100 events, with missed ones marked
- The timer moves to a Focus and timers page

keybars 0.5.1 · 21 October 2026
- A missing or crashed cava is reported at once instead of hanging, and run exits with its error
