Flect 0.7.0

One click for a whole class.

What's new

In 0.6.0, every iPad waiting to be shown had its own card and its own click. With a class's worth connecting, that was a click each and a screen full of cards. Now:

• Several waiting share one card: "5 iPads want to show", with Show All, Not now for the lot, and Choose to open the list and pick them off one at a time.
• ⌥⌘A lets everyone waiting on, and it's in the Receiver menu as "Let All Waiting iPads On".
• Remembered iPads are kept between launches. Teachers know the iPads in their room, so a class you let on today appears tomorrow without asking, while a stranger's iPad still has to.
• Settings shows how many are remembered and who they are, with Forget All, and Remember iPads I've allowed turns the memory off.

Downloads

File	For
Flect-0.7.0.pkg	School IT. It installs Flect in /Applications; push it with Jamf, Mosyle or another MDM.
Flect-0.7.0.zip	Trying it on one Mac. Unzip it and move Flect to Applications.

Both run on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14 or later. SHA256SUMS has the checksums.

It still isn't signed

macOS blocks Flect the first time you open it. Within the hour, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway, and enter an administrator password. Installed through an MDM, it usually opens without these steps. See Installing on school Macs.

Since 0.6.0

Ask before showing an iPad: nothing reaches the screen or the speakers until you let it on, and its picture is held ready so it appears the instant you do.
