What changed in SuperCmd.

New Features

Interface

• Redesigned the built-in command icons with a colorful glass icon set — Clipboard History, Snippets, Notes, Quicklinks, Search Files, Translate, Camera, AI Chat, Quick Prompt, Quick Fix, Agents, and the extension Store. Create Snippet, Create Note, and Create Quicklink now share their parent command's icon.
• Search Emoji & Symbols now uses a smiley emoji as its icon.

Dictation

• Added a model release delay setting for local dictation models, with idle windows from 1 minute to 2 hours plus Never. The default is 2 hours, so back-to-back sessions never pay a model reload while a long-idle app still returns its memory.

Improvements

Launcher

• The launcher now opens on the screen you are working on instead of always appearing on the display it was last used on.
• The panel now stays pinned to its top edge while its content grows and shrinks, instead of jumping around the screen.
• The launcher no longer flashes a loading indicator while you type — results simply appear when ready.
• Added ⌘P to pin or unpin the selected command, and ⌘⇧↑ / ⌘⇧↓ to move a pin up or down without opening the actions menu. The menu shows the new shortcuts.

Dictation

• Hold-to-talk no longer freezes the app while a Bluetooth microphone, such as AirPods, is slow to connect, and a recording that never starts now recovers cleanly instead of wedging the session.
• Fixed long Whisper transcriptions being discarded by a timeout instead of typed out.
• After you release the hold key, the pill now shows transcription progress instead of a frozen waveform.
• Dictation models now load on first use instead of at every launch, unless the release delay is set to Never.
• Cloud dictation now encodes audio in the background, keeping the interface responsive during long recordings.
• Reduced the dictation pill's rendering work while recording.
• Dictated text is no longer written to the system log.
• Removed the nonfunctional Qwen3-ASR engine option from Dictation settings; a stored Qwen3 selection now falls back to a working engine.

Screenshots

• Escape now closes the screenshot editor in a single press.
• The first drag after opening area capture now registers immediately.

Installer

• The install disk image no longer shows stray system folders next to the app.

Bug Fixes

Launcher

• Fixed the search bar losing keyboard focus after choosing an item from the actions menu.
• The launcher now closes when you swipe to a newly created desktop in Stage Manager or Mission Control, matching how it already behaved on existing desktops.
• The launcher now also closes when Mission Control opens.
• Newly installed apps now show up in search results as soon as their installation finishes, without relaunching SuperCmd.

Menu Bar

• The menu bar menu now opens attached to the SuperCmd icon instead of floating near the edge of the screen, and its items show their icons again.

Widgets

• The calendar widget's permission prompt now appears on fresh installs instead of failing silently.

Stability

• Fixed a crash when Check for Updates, a Settings deep link, or the chat model picker was the first Settings entry of the session.
• Fixed the launcher opening invisibly on macOS 26 after closing the desktop space it was last shown on; the window now rebuilds itself automatically.
• On the macOS 27 beta, SuperCmd now survives a system AutoFill bug that crashed the app whenever one of its windows came forward. If macOS trips the bug, the affected window stays in place — invoking it again brings it forward.

Crash Reporting

• Crash reports now include the underlying exception message instead of only a signal name.
• Closing the crash report panel with X now means Don't Send, and the close button is easier to hit.
• Fixed normal shutdowns from before a reboot being reported as crashes on the next launch.
• Fixed a crash observed by both the crash recorder and macOS filing two reports for the same exit

• Added a Reset Launcher Position command, and the launcher now remembers its position across restarts.
• Added a setting to hide Quick AI from the launcher without disabling AI commands.
• Added a Fill window action that expands the frontmost window to fill the screen.

Script Commands

• Added support for Raycast Script Command arguments, refresh intervals, working directories, confirmation, output modes, and ANSI colour.

Dictation

Backups and Trial

• Added data export for expired trials, available without unlocking the rest of the app.
• Added trial reminders two days and one day before expiry.

Crash Reporting

• Added crash reporting. After an unexpected exit, the next launch offers a report to review, share as a GitHub issue, or discard. Nothing is sent automatically.

Improvements

Performance

• Reduced memory use with roughly 126,000 files indexed from about 641 MB to about 93 MB.
• Reduced dictation pill CPU use to about 1% while recording and effectively zero once dismissed.
• The file index now persists between launches and excludes node_modules, DerivedData, caches, and temporary folders by default.

Launcher

• Improved launcher fuzzy search
• Down Arrow now expands the launcher in Compact mode.
• Backspace on an empty search field now navigates back, matching Escape.
• Logical shortcuts now follow the active keyboard layout, so Dvorak, Colemak, and custom layouts work correctly.

Extensions

• Extension file, folder, and application preferences now use native macOS pickers instead of text fields.
• Reopening SuperCmd within the Pop to Root window now returns to the extension screen you left, with search and selection intact.

• Local dictation models now stay loaded for the session instead of reloading on each use.

Interface

Files and Screenshots

Improvements

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Safari not appearing in launcher search results on recent macOS versions.
• Fixed snippet import and export dialogs appearing behind the launcher.
• Fixed crashes triggered by snippet keyword expansion.
• Fixed Browser History search not respecting its Settings toggle.

Launcher

• Search results hold still as you type. Commands you use constantly stayed on top for the first letter, then dropped below apps you'd never opened as you typed more of the name. Ranking was rebuilt so a result only moves when the kind of match actually changes, and your most-used commands keep the top of their group the whole way through a query.
• Escape goes back, not away. Opening a command by its own shortcut and pressing Escape used to dismiss SuperCmd entirely, while reaching the same screen by typing its name went back to the launcher. Escape now always steps back one level; press it again from the launcher to close.
• ⌘-number hints only appear after a deliberate hold, so they stop flickering during normal use.

Notes

• Code blocks render as a single rounded slab across the full width, and the fence markers disappear once you leave the line. Inline code no longer leaves a stray block on the line above.
• Typing [] creates a real checkbox you can click to tick, with a visible checkmark.
• ⌘W closes notes.

Extensions

• SVG icons render. Extensions built around vector artwork showed blank tiles.
• Action menus are complete. Keyboard shortcuts declared per-platform were being dropped, so some ⌘K menus showed none at all. Menus now also group into sections and show real artwork, and built-in icon coverage went from 39% to 86%.
• Extensions that hung on launch now work. Commands pulling in a missing package sat at 100% CPU until they timed out.
• Big list commands stay responsive. One popular extension climbed to roughly 490 MB and froze the panel for four seconds; that workload now costs no measurable time or memory.
• Commands whose arguments are all optional open on a single Enter instead of two.
• Menu bar extras open their menu on left-click, show item icons, honour tint colours, and refresh live.
• Toast notifications posted by extensions have working actions.
• Searching and scrolling long extension lists is markedly faster.

Window switcher

• Previews are captured together rather than trickling in one at a time, and each cell holds its full size before its preview arrives, so the grid no longer resizes under the pointer.

Settings

• AI providers are a dropdown with icons instead of every provider expanded at once.
• Switching tabs no longer leaves the previous pane on screen.

Dictation

• Speech Analyzer can no longer be selected while Apple Intelligence is off. The card explains why and offers a button straight to the right System Settings pane.

Fixes

• Quick Prompt puts the caret in the input as soon as it opens.
• Updates open in a real window.
• Onboarding no longer warms the file index while you're still setting up.
