App 0.5.2 released · Clearer permission prompts, steadier file search
Improvements & fixesFixed the menu bar slowing down and Finder's New Text File failing when file search is on. Search index builds no longer pile up; only one runs at a time.
Improvements & fixesThe shortcut-rule permission warning only mentioned Accessibility. It now names both Accessibility and Input Monitoring, with a button for each in the menu and Settings.
SiteThe help and install guides now say both permissions must be on, and link straight to each System Settings pane.

App 0.5.0 released · The Drawer: Notes, Clipboard history and file search
NewAdded the Drawer (Pro). Open it by moving the pointer to the top-left or top-right corner or the notch, or with the ⌃⌥D shortcut, and switch with the tabs [Notes | Files | Clipboard] at the top. It remembers the last tab you used, and you turn the Drawer on in Settings first.
NewNotes: the Drawer opens with a black field ready to type in, and it grows with your text up to a third of the screen height. Notes autosave after half a second and support pinning and search. They are stored only on this Mac.
NewClipboard history: keeps the text you copy (text only) and lets you click an item to copy it again. It is off by default and asks for confirmation when you turn it on in Settings. It keeps 7 days and up to 300 items, and pinned items stay. Copies that password managers mark as hidden, and copies from apps you exclude, are never saved.
NewFile search: find any file on your Mac by name, then open it, show it in Finder or copy its path. It needs Full Disk Access, and the list of file names stays on this Mac and is never sent anywhere.
SiteThe Privacy Policy now lists what the Drawer stores (Clipboard history, Notes and the file name list). All of it stays on this Mac and is never sent.

App 0.4.1 released · Windows shortcuts are now free
NewWindows shortcuts are now free. The Hanja key, Alt+F4, Ctrl+Shift+Esc, the Finder keys and Ctrl+X/V move all work without Pro, and the choices you already made carry over.
Improvements & fixesIn the Settings sidebar the Pro badge now sits on the pages that are entirely Pro (Windows layout, mouse and trackpad, Finder, system) and on the standard function keys card instead of the whole Tools group.
Improvements & fixesWhen Pro ends, KittyKit reverts the standard function keys (F1–F12) setting it had turned on, and restores it when Pro returns. A value you turned on yourself in System Settings is left alone.
SiteThe site now speaks to people moving from Windows, with a Windows vs Mac key table and a Free vs Pro price comparison.

App 0.4.0 released · More Windows shortcuts, Finder right-click menu, English support
NewMany more Windows shortcuts. Ctrl+N, T, W and P (new, new tab, close, print) become their ⌘ versions, and in text fields Home, End, Ctrl+Home/End and Ctrl+←/→ (word movement) work like Windows. For Ctrl+←/→ you need to turn off the space-switching shortcuts under System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Mission Control.
NewIn Finder, F2 renames, Enter opens, Delete moves to the Trash and Ctrl+Shift+N creates a new folder. While renaming or in dialogs, Enter and Delete behave as usual.
NewAlt+F4 closes the front window. If no windows are left, the app quits too (except Finder), and you can turn that off in Settings. Ctrl+Shift+Esc opens Force Quit. The first time, macOS asks you to allow “control System Events”.
NewHanja key: pick a key such as the right Ctrl in Settings, and tapping just that key sends Hanja conversion (⌥+Return). Pressing it with another key or a click works as usual.
NewYou can turn each Windows shortcut on or off. Settings groups them as Edit, Documents & tabs, Text fields, Finder and Windows.
NewThe Finder right-click menu gained “Copy Path” and “Open Terminal Here”, and you can turn each menu item on or off, including New Folder and New Text File.
NewThe app now supports English. It shows Korean when the system language is Korean and English otherwise. The site also has English pages (/en/).
Improvements & fixesThe Windows shortcuts settings are grouped, and long notes are collapsed. The word “beta” was removed from the free-code wording.
Improvements & fixesSettings now note that some keyboard models may not behave perfectly with keys such as F1–F12.
SiteHelp, the install guide, guides, contact and bug report pages, Terms and the Privacy Policy are also available in English (/en/). Switch with the round KO/EN button at the top right of the site.
SiteKakaoTalk 1:1 support has ended; we now take inquiries by email only (support@kittyland.net). The 0.3.4 installer has been taken down and only 0.4.0 can be downloaded. If you already installed it, download the new one and overwrite it; the signature is the same so permissions and settings are kept.
2026-10-09
App 0.3.4 released · New version check
NewThe app checks for new versions. A new-version notice appears above the General tab with a download button, and you can also check manually with the “Check for updates” button on the About tab.
NewThe automatic check looks at only the latest version number when the app starts and about once a day, and you can turn it off in the General tab. Nothing else is sent.
2026-10-09
App 0.3.3 released · Switch the moment you press, the name is KittyKit
NewThe language switch key (a lone key such as Right ⌘) now switches the moment you press it, not when you release it. If you keep typing before letting go, the switch isn't cancelled, and with the Accessibility permission ⌘+letter shortcuts don't fire and the letter is typed normally. No setting is needed.
NewThe current version (v0.3.4) is shown at the right of the Settings window title bar.
NewThe app and site now consistently use the name KittyKit (키티킷 in Korean).
Improvements & fixesFixed the left sidebar being cut off when opening the Input Switching tab, and widened its margins.
SiteThe 0.3.2 installer has been taken down and only 0.3.3 can be downloaded. If you already installed it, download the new one and overwrite it; the signature is the same so permissions and settings are kept.
2026-10-09
App 0.3.2 released · Cat hourly alert fix
Improvements & fixesThe cat's hourly alert now rings at the exact hour even after the system clock changes (including automatic time correction), the time zone changes or the Mac wakes from sleep. Before, you had to relaunch the app after such changes.
NewThe app itself now carries an Apple notarization ticket, so it opens without a warning on first launch even on a Mac with no internet.
SiteThe 0.3.1 installer has been taken down and only 0.3.2 can be downloaded. If you already installed it, download the new one and overwrite it; the signature is the same so permissions and settings are kept.
2026-10-09
App 0.3.1 released · Apple notarized, first-launch warning gone
NewApple notarization is complete: the “unidentified developer” warning on first launch is gone. You can now open the installer, move the app to Applications and run it right away.
SiteThe old installers (0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0) were taken down because they were not notarized. Only notarized versions can be downloaded.
Improvements & fixesFixed pasting (⌘V) not working in Settings text fields. You can paste beta codes and license keys.
Improvements & fixesThe purchase button now has an outline so it looks like a button, and the menu path in the cat notice (Accessibility > Display) was corrected.
Improvements & fixesThe signature changed for notarization, so if you used 0.3.0 you may need to allow Accessibility and Input Monitoring once more and re-enter your beta code (on the same Mac it reactivates right away).
2026-10-09
App 0.3.0 beta released · Pro trial and beta codes
NewStandard function keys (F1–F12): one checkbox for F keys instead of brightness and volume. Supports Apple keyboards and external keyboards such as Logitech.
New7-day Pro free trial: starts without a card and never charges automatically. Tapping a Pro feature opens a notice focused on that feature.
NewBeta codes: we send people who ask a Pro code tied to one Mac and free for life.
NewMenu bar options tidied up: launch at login, Windows shortcuts, standard function keys and the desktop cat are check items.
NewThe cat roams the whole screen, jumping, running and lying down. It tells you the time with a speech bubble on the hour.
NewNew Folder and New Text File in the Finder right-click menu (Pro). Battery reading now includes Logitech devices.
Improvements & fixesFixed Korean not composing in the terminal right after switching. Focus screen remembers its on state, and the cutout corners now match the window.
SiteOpened the Help, five guides, Privacy Policy, Terms, Contact and Bug report pages, with search optimization.
2026-10-08
Renamed to KittyKit · Pro tools · cat improvements
NewRenamed the app from KittyKey to KittyKit and organized the Pro tools (Windows shortcuts, window layout, separate scroll direction, Finder tools, keep awake, focus screen).
NewReplaced the cat images with 3D-style frames and grew the animations to 21.
NewThe Battery page shows the charge of every connected device at a glance.
NewWe decided on direct distribution. In the App Store sandbox window layout can't work, and we didn't want to cut features.
2026-10-07
First beta (KittyKey 0.1.0 · 0.2.0)
NewReleased the input switching beta that connects input sources to each key, and opened the install guide and download.
NewAdded low-battery alerts and diagnostics and reports.
