What is new in TinyRecorder 1.9.0

![TinyRecorder Quick Run](https://github.com/Aaru1801/TinyTask-macOS/releases/download/v1.9.0/TinyRecorder-1.9.0-Quick-Run.jpg)

TinyRecorder 1.9 makes automation feel much more like a native macOS workflow: launch anything from the keyboard, follow every run live, and stop safely.

## Highlights

- **Quick Run (`⌘K`)** — fuzzy-find macros and common commands, navigate with the arrow keys, run with Return, and dismiss with Escape. Library search moves to `⌘F`.
- **Live Activity Center** — Finder-style recording and playback progress with percentage, ETA, event count, current loop, speed, and direct stop/discard controls.
- **Progress everywhere** — active cards gain a live playhead and morphing Stop control; the menu bar and Dock now show percentage or continuous-loop status.
- **Native interaction polish** — compact utility sizing, richer pointer-aware depth, responsive motion, haptic feedback, improved VoiceOver state, and Reduce Motion support.
- **Safer automation** — TinyRecorder hides its own windows before playback, ignores its own UI while recording, cancels pending playback cleanly, and releases held keys or mouse buttons on every exit path.
- **Clearer stopping behavior** — normal Stop saves a recording; `F7` remains the emergency abort/discard control.
