Paws Off v2.0.0

What's new

Paws Off moved into your menu bar. It's cosier up there.

• It lives in your menu bar (Mac) and system tray (Windows). Click the paw for a compact panel
  with everything in it. Right-click for the speedy stuff: lock for cleaning, lock while away,
  unlock, open the window, quit.
• A smaller window, if you like windows. It's the same compact card. Choose Start in → Menu bar
  / Tray (the default) or Window in Settings.
• Settings open inside the card, at the same size, one tidy row each. No more settings bigger than
  the app they're setting.
• Automatic updates on both platforms, so you'll never miss a paw-sitive change.
• Windows caught up: paw stats (rotating one-liners, kept on your PC) and the custom timer (No
  timer, 2 min, or any length from 2:01), just like the Mac.
• Install with Homebrew on Mac: brew install --cask enigmaticzee/tap/paws-off.
• A one-time tip shows where Paws Off is hiding the first time it starts in the menu bar or tray.
• A new app icon: a white key with a paw on a coral-to-violet tile. (It has since had a makeover;
  see 2.0.3.)
