What's new

v1.0.3 Windows & 1.0.2 Mac Improved Settings Handling
  • Quick Tray now looks after your app list more carefully. If the settings file is ever missing or unreadable, the default apps are restored automatically.
  • On Windows, changes are also saved more safely, and a backup of your previous list is kept as quicktray.ini.bak.
v1.0.2 Windows Windows Maintenance update
  • Settings and dialogs stay on screen — no more cramped layouts or windows running off the edge.
  • Cleaner menu scaling — the left-click app menu scales properly at any display scale, no oversized or tiny text.
  • More compact app list — a bit tighter and easier to scan.
  • Smarter scrolling for long menus — the menu scrolls when it's long, and the highlight follows the row under your mouse.
  • Same Quick Tray you know: left-click to launch, right-click for Settings and Exit.
v1.0.1 Mac & Windows Maintenance update
  • Uninstaller reliability (macOS) — improved reliability when launched from Finder, on both Apple Silicon and Intel.
  • Settings migration & tray behaviour (Windows) — improved settings migration, tray menu placement, High DPI text sizing, and memory use during long sessions.
  • Security improvements — safer app launching (.exe validation on Windows) and hardened installer behaviour on both platforms.
  • Smoother upgrades — the installer now closes Quick Tray safely before updating.
