Release notes

Changelog.

Every TopShelf release for macOS — new features, fixes, and improvements, in one place. Updated with each version on the Mac App Store.

Version 2.4

  • Major performance fix: TopShelf no longer does constant background work when idle, so it is far lighter on battery
  • Fixed a leak that left a hidden process running for every web app you had opened
  • To-do due dates, with a menu bar badge for what is due today or overdue, plus sort by due date and a redesigned date picker
  • Sub-tasks stopped shifting under the cursor, and the one you are pointing at is highlighted
  • Notes list redesign: change a note's colour, edit its tags, or delete it without opening it
  • Notes tagging moved from the bottom of the editor to a floating sidebar button, so the whole window is yours to write in
  • Password Generator redesign, with a strength meter that says Weak, Fair or Strong
  • New: Export & Backup: save your notes, to-dos, colours and saved passwords to a single file
  • Mini apps now open on the desktop you are using, not the one you last used them on
  • Mini app buttons respond to the first click, and TopShelf warns you when your menu bar is too full to fit every icon
  • Added a Rate TopShelf button in Settings → About

Version 2.3

  • Notes: full editor redesign with a floating title, a glass formatting toolbar, and a window that tints to your note colour
  • Markdown mode: write notes in markdown and have the format buttons insert syntax
  • To-Do List returns as its own mini app, with single-click editing on any task
  • Password Generator: save passwords to a history you can copy from or clear
  • Colour Picker: bookmark colours, load them back into the sliders, copy hex with a tap
  • Liquid-glass tooltips, notebook-style note colour tabs, and layout polish throughout

Version 2.2

  • Mini Apps: pin lightweight web tools directly to the menu bar
  • Tasks and notes now live in separate, focused spaces
  • Stability and polish across the app
