I’ve added a filtering feature to the log viewer in the Karabiner-Elements beta. I should have added this much earlier.

Karabiner-Elements 16.0.0 has been released. This version adds major features, including support for writing rules in JavaScript, more efficient integration with external apps via send_user_command, improved context detection using the Accessibility API. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I've published the release candidate for the next version to the beta channel. If nothing comes up, I plan to release it in a few days.

As a final touch for the Karabiner-Elements new release, I've added some improvements to the setup wizard. If testing goes well, I plan to proceed with the release.

The beta version of Karabiner-Elements already includes most of the features I want in the next release, so I'd like to release it soon, but I still want to tweak the post-installation wizard a bit more.

In the latest Karabiner-Elements beta, you can now use information about the focused UI element via the Accessibility API. Well-designed applications properly expose UI element information, so I hope more applications will support this correctly.

The PR adding the CGEventTap fallback has reached a level of stability where it's ready to be merged. I'd just like to address a couple of remaining points that concern me before merging it. github.com/pqrs-org/Kar...

In the latest Karabiner-Elements repository, I've updated EventViewer to display the name of the device that sent the event. It's one of those changes that makes you wonder why it wasn't done earlier.

New features were added in the Karabiner-Elements beta. to_if_other_key_pressed now makes it possible to reliably change option+Tab to command+Tab. - to_if_other_key_pressed - send_user_command ( Thanks to @nikivdev ) github.com/pqrs-org/Kar...

In the latest macOS beta (macOS 26.4 Beta), I've confirmed an issue where Karabiner-Elements cannot modify events from the MacBook's built-in keyboard, and the keys are entered as-is. Please be aware.

In the latest Karabiner-Elements beta, I've added to.from_event, which makes it possible to implement a Pass Through Mode that disables all Complex Modifications under specific conditions. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/json/co...

Now that JavaScript support in Karabiner-Elements has stabilized, I'm prioritizing JavaScript examples for expert configuration.

In the Karabiner-Elements beta, I made several fixes to the JavaScript support and have started migrating complex or special configurations to JavaScript rules. While this does assume some programming knowledge, being able to edit them easily from the settings UI is very convenient.

In the latest version of Karabiner-Elements (v15.9.5), you can now generate Complex Modifications JSON rules using JavaScript.

In the latest beta of Karabiner-Elements, you can now edit JSON using your preferred editor. This change is less about the current JSON itself and more about addressing the fact that the built-in editor is too limited for eventually defining configurations in JavaScript.

Karabiner-Elements 15.8.0 has been released. The removal of the probable stuck key detector is the major change in this version. In addition, another long-awaited improvement is that the Do Not Disturb key is finally supported. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/release...

TrueWidget 2.6.0 has been released. I've added an optional APFS volume unmount feature, which I've personally wanted for a long time. It's designed for test environments with multiple macOS versions installed. truewidget.pqrs.org/docs/release...

Tinkle 3.1.0 has been released. With this, all macOS apps I maintain have now fully migrated to the SwiftUI lifecycle. tinkle.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I introduced a major change in the latest beta of Karabiner-Elements (v15.7.17). Since macOS 13 and later no longer misrecognize keys pressed before Karabiner-Elements seizes the device as held down, I removed the probable key stuck detector, which hurt usability.

ShowyEdge 6.2.0 has been released. This is a maintenance update targeting macOS 26 Tahoe. showyedge.pqrs.org/docs/release...

TrueWidget 2.5.0 has been released. This is a maintenance update targeting macOS 26 Tahoe. truewidget.pqrs.org/docs/release...

Updating TrueWidget’s app icon.

Karabiner-Elements 15.7.0 has been released, primarily addressing bugs found in 15.6.0 and adding support for macOS 26.1. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I'm implementing an urgent fix for Karabiner-Elements on macOS 26.1. (The work is mostly complete.)

I've released Karabiner-Elements 15.6.0. Updates include improved macOS 26 support, lower CPU load, and expression support in Complex Modification rules. My favorite feature is the ability to temporarily disable all device rules in EventViewer. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/release...

There are plenty of features I want to implement, but without proper Liquid Glass support the UI breaks, so I've been focusing on full macOS 26 support.

It is a small thing, but in the beta I improved the UI overall: removed unnecessary padding, standardized inconsistent spacing, and increased the number of items visible at once.

I released TrueWidget 2.4.0. This release is primarily focused on code maintenance. truewidget.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I got a bunch of unexpected freebies with my switch spring order from RNDKBD, it almost feels too generous.

I've released Karabiner-Elements v15.5.0 with minor bug fixes and new warnings to help users avoid common issues. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/release... The highlight for me is a new menu bar option that lets you enable beta updates. Honestly, I wish I had added it much sooner!

I've confirmed Karabiner-Elements and my other apps work well on macOS 26 Tahoe.

I released Karabiner-Elements v15.4.0. It includes a number of improvements, most notably, I've removed all the old UI code, which has led to more stable and consistent behavior. My favorite small new feature is the ability to temporarily pause event capturing in EventViewer 🥰

The beta version of Karabiner-Elements brought major improvements, and I've now completed two of the most important goals: migrating to the SwiftUI life cycle and upgrading to Swift 6. With that done, development has reached a key milestone, and I'll start shifting focus to preparing for release.

Got a new keyboard, back to mechanical switches. I was using 20g optical switches before, so 35g feels a bit heavy. Still deciding whether to swap the springs.

Since the C++ package manager cget is no longer usable, I'm transitioning to conan.

I released TrueWidget 2.3.0, which adds a new date display style. truewidget.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I released ShowyEdge 6.1.0. The indicator can now track the title bar of the currently active window. showyedge.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I've finally been able to make some time, so I released TrueWidget 2.2.0. Among the new features, my favorite is the Auto Compact mode, which automatically switches to compact mode when there's only one display. truewidget.pqrs.org/docs/release...

I haven't had much time to work on software lately, but I still managed to update the Thunderbird extension for Thunderbird 136. Just updating the strict_max_version in manifest.json wasn't enough, I also had to switch from ChromeUtils.import to ChromeUtils.importESModule. github.com/pqrs-org/dis...

I added Auto-compact-mode in the beta version of TrueWidget. This mode displays the widget in normal mode only when an external display is connected.

The latest beta version of Karabiner-Elements includes several significant updates, including headset support. This allows you to customize volume buttons and other controls.

The awake ratio I added to the TrueWidget beta turned out to be surprisingly interesting. I thought I kept my Mac running much longer, but it was only around 60%.

I've spent the past few days optimizing my setup for the Xreal One. The level of freedom it offers, especially in terms of posture, is incredible. I don't think I can go back to a regular monitor now.

I added awake time to TrueWidget in addition to uptime. It also displays the awake ratio.

I bought the Xreal One, so I'm going to experiment to see how well I can integrate it into my daily use. At the very least, its standalone 3DoF is fantastic.

The beta version of TrueWidget now supports displaying uptime. At first, I assumed that ProcessInfo.processInfo.systemUptime would be an easy way to retrieve uptime, but since it doesn't account for time spent in sleep, I had to fetch the boot time using sysctl and calculate it manually.

I updated the page with information about key codes to make it more understandable. The core process can only process HID Usages, so the key codes in the configuration are also based on it. However, these don't always correspond to the actual key letters. karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/docs/help/tr...

I’ve released ShowyEdge 6.0.0 after over a year. The main update is the migration to the SwiftUI Life Cycle. Additionally, the color settings have been improved for better visibility. showyedge.pqrs.org/docs/release...

My cats jumped onto the keyboard several times while I was working in the terminal, so I created a cat-proof barrier using an acrylic board to prevent any serious mishaps.

With test environments spanning various macOS versions on both Apple silicon and Intel, TrueWidget is an essential tool for visualizing environmental information. In these environments, Apple Account also differs as well, so I added a display feature in TrueWidget v2.1.0.
