Version 2.1.2

Compatibility update for macOS Catalina (coming this fall). It enables the hardened runtime and notarizes the app for improved security.

Version 2.1.1

This update makes sure that Boxy for Gmail always checks for updates when it is launched. This will help keep everyone on the latest version and make things easier for us.

Version 2.1.0

  • Added a new icon to emails toolbar that detects email tracking. Read all about it in our blog post.
  • Added Quick Launcher in Gmail’s sidebar for better discoverability (you can turn this off in Preferences > Interface if you don’t like it, but we dig it).
  • Added “Sent with Boxy Suite” signature by default. This helps us spread the word about Boxy Suite, but it’s 100% optional (you can turn this off in Preferences > General).

Version 2.0.1

If you happen to get logged out often, you can use the new checkmark in Preferences > Advanced to disable cookie sharing. To learn more about this read our help article on this topic.
