The new icon makes the most of the new style and constraints. It pairs well with Xcode’s own icon, but remains true to its predecessor, expanding on its design. Hopefully, Retcon will still feel right at home in your Dock!

Retcon 1.5 releases today! It brings an updated UI on Tahoe, a redesigned icon, and an assortment of improvements and fixes. Update from the Retcon menu, or get the app from https://retcon.app.

(please also update to macOS 26.1, which resolves many system bugs, some of which impact Retcon)

New blog post! Retcon 1.4 got a lot faster. Much of that speed is owed to caches. Straightforward caches, oddly-specific caches, hard-to-invalidate caches, the works. Here’s some details about them!
