What's new in BreakTimer 1.2.0
Jun 17, 2022
- Upgrade electron to fix breaks not showing on all screens on Windows.
- Prevent resizing of break windows.
New in BreakTimer 1.1.0 (Jan 15, 2022)
- Added new "Show backdrop" option to "Customization", which adds a fullscreen backdrop to the break popups. This prevents you from interacting with any other app, which helps those of us with low self-control!
- Notifications will now respect native macOS settings. If you explicitly set the app to have "alert" notifications, they will no longer disappear.
- Fix "Start at login" for AppImage.
New in BreakTimer 1.0.3 (Nov 8, 2021)
- Ensure that focus is returned to the last app when the break window is closed on macOS.
New in BreakTimer 1.0.2 (Nov 8, 2021)
- Fixed a Windows and Linux crash introduced in 1.0.1.
New in BreakTimer 1.0.1 (Nov 7, 2021)
- Fix a bug where the gong sounds would play even if the setting was disabled.
- Prevent the app from every showing in the macOS dock.
- Upgrade to Electron 15.3.0.
New in BreakTimer 1.0.0 (Oct 5, 2021)
- Switch the fullscreen popup break for a much more streamlined break flow. Previously, when a break was about to start, you would receive a native notification with action buttons that would let you skip or postpone the break. This notification was hard to interact with because it only lasted 5 seconds. Now, a small window will overlay the centre of your screen, which is more noticeable and gives you more time to interact with the actions. This window will seamlessly expand into a larger break window when the break starts. Instead of being a fullscreen kiosk window, it just overlays your other apps. This is more lightweight, looks nicer and feels less jarring.
- Rename postpone to snooze.
- Upgrades all core dependencies and improves code quality.
