Jettison 1.9.4 improves notification sounds and Tahoe support

Thursday, September 25th, 2025

Version 1.9.4 of Jettison is available, delivering better handling of its notification sounds and fine-tuning a few details for Tahoe. If you’ve purchased a license for Jettison, this update is free.

The most visible change in this release is the new liquid glass icon for macOS 26, which is optimized for Tahoe’s dark and clear icon styles as well as the default appearance.

In addition, Jettison’s notification sounds are now displayed with their localized names, making them consistent with what you see in the Sound settings in System Settings. And when Jettison plays them, they’ll be played at the volume of the system alert sounds rather than the overall system sound volume.

Version 1.9.4 also addresses a few bugs, and will automatically quit the PhotosReliveWidget and com.apple.amp.devicesui processes before sleep if they’re being run by the system. That ensures that those processes won’t keep files open on any external drives and interfere with Jettison ejecting the drives.

Release notes and a download link are available on the What’s New page. Or if you’re already running Jettison, just select “Check for Update” from its menu in your menu bar.

Default Folder X 6.2 is ready for Tahoe!

Monday, September 15th, 2025

Version 6.2 of Default Folder X is available, delivering support for macOS 26 Tahoe as well as addressing a number of issues. This update is free if you’ve already purchased a license for version 6, and you can just select “Check for Update” from Default Folder X’s menu in your menu bar to get it.

While the headline feature for version 6.2 is its compatibility with macOS 26, it also includes a number of other changes that benefit users running any supported version of macOS (10.13 – 26.0). Default Folder X’s buttons in the Finder’s toolbar are more attractive and work better, and issues with Adobe apps have been addressed. The “Open With” menu that was introduced in version 6.1.7 works more smoothly, and there are new AppleScript commands for integrating with other apps such as Alfred.

In addition to that, a number of bugs have been squashed and little details have been improved. They’re listed in the change history on the What’s New page, along with download links for version 6.2 in various languages.

As always, thanks for your support, suggestions and bug reports. We couldn’t do this without you!
