Bug Fixes
v3.0.4
Finderlock 3.0.4 – Permission fixes, smarter auto-lock & in-app updates

Fixes file permission issues for SSH keys, improves auto-lock reliability, and adds in-app self-update plus visual lock status in the menu bar.

July 6, 2026
v3.0.4

What's Changed:

  • File permissions are now preserved after unlock — SSH keys (600), credentials, and other permission-sensitive files retain their original POSIX permissions
  • Main window is now accessible after closing with the red X — About, Settings, and menu bar actions reliably reopen it
  • Menu bar popover now correctly dismisses when clicking outside (matching Skitch/Rectangle behavior)
  • Auto-lock timer fires reliably at the configured interval — system wake, settings changes, and license updates no longer silently extend the countdown
  • New 'Check for Updates' menu item in the Finderlock app menu (IntelliJ-style placement after About)
  • Menu bar icon now changes to an open lock when any file is unlocked, giving at-a-glance status without opening the app
  • In-app self-update: downloads the DMG in the background, mounts and opens in Finder, then prompts to quit — no browser needed
  • All unlocked files are automatically locked before quitting during an update for safety
