What's new in version 1.0.2
Bug Fixes
- Fixed empty app list detected. by some users
- Fixed apps not detected in nested folders — the app scanner previously had a depth limit that caused apps installed in subdirectories (e.g. inside folders within /applications) to be missed. Scanning is now fully recursive with no depth limit.
- Other bug fixes
New Features
- Color Icon option — by default the menu bar icon adapts to your system theme (monochrome). You can now enable the original blue icon via Settings → Color Icon.

Version: 1.0.1
I had also been using 0.12.2 successfully on my M1 Mac, and initially got no results (Failed Check) from 1.0.0. I contacted the developer and the changes in 1.0.1 addressed the issues that I had. the "New Versions" menu is now much better than before, including the Icon, Application Name, and both Current and Latest Version. It also notified me about several applications that weren't up-to-date but weren't showing on the older (0.12.2) version. I recommend giving it a try again.

Version: 1.0.0
Nope. The previous version (0.12.2) was working perfectly on both my M1 MacBook Pro and my M2 MacBook Pro. I replaced the one on my M1 with the new version and after several tries, erasing and removing and rebooting, the app just falls on its face, failing to fetch any data. Back to the working version until this one is ironed out.

Version: 0.12.2
Back to no results. I can't understand why the RSS feed is so difficult to get right.

Version: 0.12.0
Version 0.12.0 failed to open on iMac M3 running Sonoma 14.6.1. First ever attempt (no previous version installed). Tried "removing the MUNotifier directory from the Application Support is recommended." as suggested, just in case, to no avail. Restored it in proper directory and still does not launch. Note: my Mac runs with French locale.

Version: 0.10.0
The System Tray is a feature of Microsoft Windows.
MacUpdater is much better at identifying updates. Of course, this software is still in beta, but I would have more confidence if the developer had used the correct macOS terminology for the menu bar and notification center.
