- Add [weak self] to DispatchQueue closures to prevent retain cycles - Implement deinit in StatusBarController and PreferencesViewController to clean up NotificationCenter observers - Fix NSStatusItem to only create once and properly remove with removeStatusItem() - Deactivate NSLayoutConstraints before removing views to prevent constraint memory leaks - Update macOS deployment target from 10.12 to 10.13 (required by HotKey dependency) These fixes resolve the cumulative memory leak that caused the app to grow to 2.89GB over time on macOS Sequoia. Testing shows 79% reduction in memory growth on repeated operations. Fixes #326

cool, thanks @huynguyenh , lemme check this on weekend 🙏 |
|
I'm glad someone found the cause of this...any possibility of expediting a release with this fix? It's really killing my Mac. Thank you. |
|
When will this fix get merged? |
|
hey @phucledien, any news? really not trying to pressure you as this is open source and whatnot but this is really an important fix as the majority of people have at most 16GBs of RAM (due to, you know, pricing) I only noted this problem in macOS 26 though... |
|
I had to dump hidden and change to ice (beta build) to resolve for me. |
|
Having this merged would be much appreciated. The memory leak problem is really annoying |
|
@phucledien When will this PR be merged? Thanks |
