v1.3.0

bgviewer is a menu-bar kill-switch for macOS background services — see everything running behind your Mac and stop, pause, restart, or disable it, including the KeepAlive agents that respawn when killed.

New in 1.3.0 — the awareness release

  • Alerts — flip the footer toggle and get a notification the moment a new dev server starts listening, even with the dropdown closed. Dev servers only, never floods.
  • Scheduled (cron) — your crontab -l entries, read-only, with humanized schedules.
  • 🗑 Trash — parked agents can now be removed for good (recoverable from the Trash).
  • Update check — a green download button appears in the header when a newer release exists. One GitHub API call at most every 6 h; still no telemetry.
