Bonk 1.16 lets you make the menu bar your own, makes it obvious when Bonk is paused, and adds a faster way to set reminders.
New
-
Choose your menu-bar icon. Bonk no longer has to be a bell. Pick the symbol that fits you — bell, bell with dot, burst (the logo look), exclamation, alarm, calendar, calendar with clock, clock or sparkles. Your choice shows everywhere the icon appears: the plain menu-bar icon, the icon next to the countdown/title, the coloured highlight pill, and the header of the menu. Settings → Display → Menu bar → Icon.
-
A clear "paused" state. When you switch Bonk off, you can now see it at a glance: the menu-bar icon dims and gets a small pause badge, and the menu says "Bonk is paused" with a short explanation instead of looking like there's simply nothing coming up. While paused, adding a reminder is turned off too (both the menu button and the global shortcut), so it's clear nothing will fire until you switch Bonk back on.
-
Quicker reminders — "in X minutes" or an exact time. The new-reminder window now has two modes. Pick In… for a relative time with one-tap presets (5 / 15 / 30 min, 1 / 2 h) or a custom amount in minutes or hours, or pick At time for an exact moment like before. The description field is now multi-line, so longer notes fit.
Fixed
- Ignored meetings no longer come back when you show fewer days. Previously, if you dismissed ("ignore") a meeting a few days out and then shrank the menu's display window (e.g. from 5 days to 2), that meeting fell out of view and your choice was forgotten — so it reappeared later. Your ignore and "show again" choices now stick until the meeting actually ends, regardless of how many days you have on display.
HOW TO INSTALL
Download
Bonk-1.16.dmgbelow, open the DMG and drag Bonk to Applications. Bonk is ad-hoc signed (no paid Apple Developer account), so macOS can't verify it. The first time you open it, macOS will block it: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the message about Bonk and click Open Anyway, then confirm. (Only needed once.) See Apple's guide if you get stuck.
