What's New

Multi-display support — Secondary screens now show a beautiful ambient display instead of mirroring the primary lock screen.

Added

• Ambient secondary screens — 5 morphing gradient blobs (teal, blue, amber, rose) on independent orbital paths with a 3-second fade-in from black. Premium screensaver-quality visuals.
• Multi-display setting — Choose between "Ambient on secondary" (default) or "Same on all screens" in Settings → Lock Screen.
• Per-screen animation offset — Each screen's animation is phase-shifted so multi-monitor setups breathe independently.

Changed

• Secondary screen overlay windows now ignore mouse events (all interaction on primary screen only)
• OverlayWindowManager uses a per-screen content factory for independent screen content

What's New

Bug fix: Hotkey stops working after app update

After updating Lockpaw, macOS invalidates the Accessibility permission (TCC) because the binary signature changes. Previously, the hotkey event tap would silently die — CGEvent.tapCreate returns a valid-looking tap even without Accessibility, and the app would never recover.

Fixed

• HotkeyManager now checks AXIsProcessTrusted() before creating event taps, preventing dead taps
• App automatically polls for Accessibility restoration and re-registers the hotkey when granted — no restart needed

CI

• Updated actions/checkout v4 → v6 (Node.js 20 deprecation)
• Release workflow no longer fails if GitHub Release already exists

Fixes

• Fix inability to lock screen — Accessibility prompt no longer loops on every launch when TCC entry is stale (after rebuild/update). The prompt now only appears when you actually try to lock.
• Fix memory bug in accessibility checker (takeRetainedValue → takeUnretainedValue on a global CF constant)
• Fix hotkey becoming unresponsive — HotkeyManager now re-enables its event tap when macOS disables it (timeout/user input), matching InputBlocker's existing behavior

Install

Download Lockpaw.dmg below, or update via Sparkle (Check for Updates in Settings).

brew upgrade --cask lockpaw

Fixed

• Fixed "Check for Updates" button not responding — Sparkle's dialogs don't surface in menu bar apps. Now shows inline feedback: spinner, checkmark, or error directly in Settings.
• Deferred Sparkle updater startup to prevent silent initialization failures.

See CHANGELOG.md for details.

Fixed

• Fixed lock screen disappearing when connecting an external monitor during an active lock session
• Fixed race condition in screen change debounce that could cause overlapping window recreation

See CHANGELOG.md for details.

Fix: overlay not covering full external display

• Set autoresizingMask on NSHostingView so SwiftUI content fills the entire window on external/scaled displays
• Explicitly size the hosting view to match window.contentLayoutRect
• Debounce screen change handler (300ms) to avoid stale NSScreen.screens data when monitors are hot-plugged
• Added diagnostic logging for screen frame, backing scale factor, and content view size mismatches

DMG installer fixes

• Fixed Applications folder showing broken/generic icon on macOS Sonoma+
  (Finder alias instead of symlink)
• Fixed volume icon missing from title bar
  (AppleScript's update was deleting .VolumeIcon.icns)
• Fixed hidden folders (.background, .fseventsd) appearing in DMG window
• Rebuilt DMG pipeline: single R/W → UDZO conversion, no metadata loss
• Light background for readable icon labels
• Inside-out codesigning in CI (no more --deep)
