Changelog

1.14.0 — Badgeify in Your Language

New Features

• Choose your language — Use Badgeify in English, German, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese. The app can follow your system language or remember your selection, including in menu bar menus and native dialogs.
• Make unread activity harder to miss — Choose gentle pulse, classic blink, or double blink attention styles for menu bar icons when unread items appear.
• Keep the Trash visible when empty — Show the Trash icon at all times or make it transparent when empty, while keeping Empty Trash available and correctly disabled.

Improvements

• More focused Advanced settings — Language, notification, interaction, and data options are now organized into clearer groups.
• Native Empty Trash confirmation — Emptying the Trash now uses the macOS Dock action, so the system confirmation dialog appears without requesting Finder Automation permission.

1.13.4 — Trash in the Menu Bar

New Features

• Add the Trash to your menu bar — The macOS Trash is now a menu bar item. Left click to open it in Finder, or empty it straight from the menu.

1.13.3 — Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

• Icons no longer disappear for apps with unread badges — Apps that keep showing a badge after their window is closed (like Reminders) now stay visible in the menu bar, even with "When app is not running" set to Hide. Their badge also updates live as it changes.
• Left click works correctly on the macOS 27 beta — Fixed menu bar icons opening the right-click menu instead of activating the app when left-clicked on the macOS 27 beta.

1.13.2 — Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes

• No more re-entering your license — Your license key now stays activated across restarts, so you won't be asked to enter it again every time you reopen the app.
• License status stays up to date — Changes to your license now show up right away, without needing to restart the app.
• Your settings are safe during upgrades — Fixed a problem where settings could be lost after updating. The app now keeps automatic backups so your apps and preferences can be recovered.

• Better error recovery — If your settings file has any issues, the app now handles them more gracefully and stays stable.
