What's new in Kiiwi

Every version of the Mac app, newest first. Kiiwi updates itself; to get the latest now, choose Check for Updates… in its menu. Or follow the update feed in your reader.

Kiiwi 1.0.6 Latest

25 September 2026

• 6 new mouse click sounds: Microswitch, a close-up real mouse button, plus Woodblock, Bubblewrap, Drip, Switch and Snap. Pick one under Mouse Clicks in the menu bar.
• Every new sound has its own press and release, and the right button is pitched a touch lower so you can tell them apart.

Kiiwi 1.0.5

24 September 2026

• Switches sound fuller and closer on headphones: keystrokes now play at the same level as the website playground, about twice as loud as before at the same volume setting.
• Less pitch wobble between keystrokes, so each press sounds like the same real switch rather than a slightly different one.

Kiiwi 1.0.4

20 September 2026

• Deactivating this Mac now brings the unlock screen straight back, so you can enter another key without relaunching. It used to quit the app instead.
• If a licence stops being valid while Kiiwi is running, the unlock screen comes back rather than leaving the app running with no licence and no way to enter one.

Kiiwi 1.0.3

20 September 2026

• Updating no longer asks for your keychain password, and no longer forgets your licence. Your activation now lives in a file sealed to this Mac, so it survives updates and reinstalls.
• You will be asked for your key once more on this update, and never again.

Kiiwi 1.0.2

20 September 2026

• Cmd+V pastes again. The app had no main menu, and macOS looks up the editing shortcuts there before they reach the field, so Paste, Copy, Cut and Select All did nothing anywhere in Kiiwi.

Kiiwi 1.0.1

20 September 2026

• Licence keys activate again. The app was upper-casing the key before checking it, and keys are case-sensitive, so every valid key came back unrecognised.

Kiiwi 1.0.0

20 September 2026

• First release. 38 switch packs, 2 mouse packs, and the menu bar app that plays them.
