What is new in Loupe 1.1.1
## What’s fixed - Loupe now starts automatically after Accessibility access is granted, so you no longer have to return from System Settings and discover a second confirmation step. - Development builds now have a separate identity, preventing testing from replacing the production app’s Accessibility permission. ## Compatibility - macOS 14 or later - Apple silicon and Intel Macs - Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple SHA-256: `a773127a637bd46653cd0f2c333e2b54e95cc6c1d1033a681ea71f766c0c8d05`
