Input Source Pro is an app for multilingual Mac users, providing numerous intuitive features such as automatic keyboard switching based on the app in use or the website being browsed, and an elegant display of the current input source.
Added Settings Backup, which lets you export and import supported settings, including app and browser rules, color settings, hot key groups, and recorded shortcuts.
Added a CJKV fix method that briefly shifts focus so macOS settles on the selected input source after switching.
Improvements
Improved app-specific keyboard switching so selections tied to specific input modes are preserved more reliably (by lqb).
Fixed modifier shortcuts that could freeze after rapid CJKV switching (by Sergey Nosenko).
Fixed missing English punctuation mappings when Force English Punctuation is enabled.
It's amazing to see the community growing! This update is special because it includes contributions from several first-time contributors. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to improve Input Source Pro. Your efforts are truly appreciated!
What's new
Added "Fix Cursor Lag Issues" to the Troubleshooting section (by Xicrosoft).
Added per-app option to force English punctuation (by neow021).
After announcing that Input Source Pro would remain free forever, I decided to take it one step further and make it open source.
You can now find the code on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license.
Life has gotten quite busy lately, so I might not be able to dedicate as much time to this project as I'd like (job hunting, interview preparation, and everything else). Still, I'll do my best to keep things updated and maintained.
Contributions are always welcome. Feel free to submit pull requests, report issues, or suggest new features.
Happy typing! 🫶

The beta tag has been removed! We might introduce a dedicated beta channel in the future with more frequent updates.
Added an announcement banner to let everyone know we've gone open source!
It's been a while since my last update. One big reason I haven't had much time for this project is that I became a father to a lovely baby boy! Taking care of a newborn is far more challenging than we expected, but thankfully, we're hanging in there 😮💨. That said, updates to Input Source Pro may remain infrequent over the next few months.
Many users have asked about Input Source Pro's pricing after the beta period, and I finally have an answer: Input Source Pro will remain free for everyone. I did consider introducing paid features, but it just didn't feel right. Switching between tasks and languages is such a fundamental need for multilingual users that it really should be handled by the operating system.
Although Input Source Pro will be free to use, there are still ways you can support its development:
Enjoying it? Sharing it with others would mean a lot. ❤️
It's already been a month since our last update, and we're excited to share the new features and improvements we've been working on. We hope they arrived without introducing new bugs. 🤞

💅 The menu bar icon was redesigned for a fresh new look.
Improvements
We've adjusted the behavior of the full-size indicator so it no longer appears every time you focus a new input field within the same app.
Fixed an issue where enabling Browser Rules caused Chrome and other browsers to reopen after you quit them.
