Changelog

Follow new updates and improvements to Keyfire.

v0.8.15

New

  • Themes. Ten colour themes, each with a light and a dark version: Keyfire, Graphite, Ocean, Forest, Plum, Rose, Sand, Arctic, Solar and High Contrast. Pick one in Settings, Appearance, or from the new More themes link in the title bar.
  • Custom colours on Pro. Start from any theme and set your own accent, background, panel, field, text and border colours, with a live preview and contrast hints. Share a theme as a code and paste one in to apply it.
  • Appearance settings. Follow the Windows accent colour, follow Windows high-contrast mode, set how transparent the popups are, and scale the interface between 90% and 125%.
  • Radial wheel widgets on Pro, early preview. Pin small information pills around the wheel: clocks for any time zone, date, week number, CPU, memory, battery, volume, lock keys, the active app and the current profile. Drag them around the rim, resize them, or stack a second ring. This is a first version. The look and the set of widgets will keep changing over the next releases, and feedback is welcome.

Improved

  • The radial wheel has a new layered look, with a plate behind the segments, a hub in the centre, clearer separators and a softer shadow.
  • An app profile whose wheel is empty now shows the global profile's wheel instead of a blank ring.
  • Popups open without holding up your keystrokes, and the clipboard popup loads large histories in pages so it opens quickly however many items you keep.

Fixed

  • The feedback form typed slowly on some PCs.
  • The onboarding tour could not be advanced or skipped on the Profiles step.
  • Removing a radial segment that had been copied to another wheel deleted the action the other wheels still used.
  • Clicking a radial segment sometimes showed another segment's unsaved draft.
  • The action editor flashed the Macro layout for a moment before showing the saved action type.
  • In Quick Search, Backspace no longer drops you out of a template search. Esc does that.

v0.8.14

New

  • Unlimited clipboard history on Pro. Set any number of days, or tick Keep forever, with separate windows for text and for images. Free stays at 7 days.
  • Claude, Grok and Mistral Le Chat join the Quick Search AI templates. Type cl, grok or mis followed by your question.

Improved

  • Hotkeys and text expansions are live within about a second of Keyfire starting, before the window has loaded. Noticeably faster after a PC restart.
  • Editable fields now sit on their own well in both themes, so inputs no longer blend into the panel around them.

Fixed

  • Text expansions in Excel and other Office apps pasted the previous clipboard content or nothing.
  • Hotkeys now fire on every tap while the modifier stays held, for example Ctrl held down while tapping W repeatedly.
  • Confirmation prompts from macro steps open on the monitor you are working on instead of the primary monitor.
  • Start with Windows follows the Windows Startup apps switch and repairs itself if the startup entry goes missing.
  • Keyfire retries a failed start at logon instead of silently not appearing.

v0.8.13

New

  • Excluded apps. Add a program to Settings, General and Keyfire pauses itself completely while that program is in front: no hotkeys, overlays, expansions or autocorrect. Everything resumes the moment you switch away. Free plan.

Improved

  • Lower memory use. The interface now runs in fewer background processes and the screen-region picker only exists while you are using it.
  • Clipboard history loads faster. Large histories no longer make the popup or the Clipboard tab slow to show the latest items.

Fixed

  • Holding a key that is mapped to a hotkey now behaves like holding the real keys. The hotkey repeats at your normal key-repeat rate and the trigger key no longer leaks into the app after about a second.
  • The clipboard popup no longer goes blank when the history fetch is slow. It keeps showing the previous list and refreshes when the data arrives.
