It's really hard to succinctly explain Retcon's main, game-changing advantage (getting instant feedback after each change, instead of the sluggish plan/find out/restart workflow). The website currently really drops the ball on this, so I've been working on a new section. Here's a very rough WIP!

A diagram that shows a three step process: make a change (a commit is dragged); see the outcome (a conflict has resulted); keep going (“Pay no mind to the conflict. You’ll resolve it later, when you feel like it; or it might even vanish as you make more changes.”)

Here's Retcon 1.6.1, with an assortment of fixes, but also a few new features and improvements. Update now for a nicer time!

## Retcon 1.6.1

May 13th, 2026

### New

* __Navigate commits while right pane is focused__ using ⌃⇧▲ and ⌃⇧▼
* In settings, choose between tabs or windows

### Improved

* Inactive windows are better differentiated
* `.orig` files are no longer created when using mergetool

### Fixed

* Commit conflict icon was sometimes displayed much too small
* “Was edited” green checkmarks would incorrectly reappear on scroll
* Would sometimes show an error when cancelling a folder open
* Locked index files trigger recovery less often still
* Would crash when moving a commit to the very bottom using ⌘▼

In the middle of a large interactive rebase, you realize the commit list you arranged wasn't quite right. Maybe a commit is missing, or misplaced, or something else. Where usually you'd have to start over, Retcon lets you course-correct on the fly: your history remains fully editable, always.

Avec plus de 75 propositions, l'appel à conférences du Tech F'Est 2026 est terminé. Merci à tous ! Des thèmes super variés, et des conférenciers des 4 coins de la France. Maintenant on on doit sélectionner les meilleurs sujets pour cette journée de conférences. On vous annonce tout ça très vite !

Wrote a quick tool that shows CPU usage history, per process. Already it's showing something strange: Time Machine backups seem to cause significant spikes for SystemUIServer, even though that process is only supposed to manage menu bar extras. Might be because I've hidden the TM icon using Ice?

A Mac app showing a graph with two curves. backupd shows hourly spikes, and SystemUIServer has very closely matching usage.
