Unfocus v0.6.0-beta.2

These prerelease builds are not notarized. macOS app bundles are ad-hoc signed rather than Developer ID-signed, and Windows installers are not code-signed. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: X11 is qualified. APT archive metadata is signed; application binaries are unsigned. Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS 11+: Preview, ad-hoc signed, and not notarized. Uses the system-provided AppKit and WebKit frameworks; multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: Idle and fullscreen probes are implemented, but interactive multi-monitor qualification is pending.

Changes

Changed

• macOS release notes, install guidance, and repository release policy now say
  exactly what ships: the app bundle is ad-hoc signed so its package signature
  can be verified locally, but it is still not Developer ID-signed or
  notarized, and first-launch Gatekeeper warnings still apply.

Fixed

• Tauri macOS packaging now requests an explicit ad-hoc app-bundle signature
  instead of leaving the bundle in the linker-signed state. The packaged
  .app now binds Info.plist, seals resources, and passes strict deep
  codesign verification on Apple silicon.
• Release automation now verifies the real Tauri-reported macOS .app bundle
  before artifacts are uploaded, so a linker-only macOS package cannot ship
  unnoticed again.

Unfocus v0.6.0-beta.1

These prerelease builds are not code-signed or notarized. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: X11 is qualified. APT archive metadata is signed; application binaries are unsigned. Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS 11+: Preview and unnotarized. Uses the system-provided AppKit and WebKit frameworks; multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: Idle and fullscreen probes are implemented, but interactive multi-monitor qualification is pending.

Changes

Added

• Added dedicated beta distribution channels: the beta APT suite and the
  unfocus@beta Homebrew cask. Existing alpha installs remain on their frozen
  channels until users explicitly migrate using the install-guide steps.
• Optional cross-device break sync, off by default; the existing relative
  timer is unchanged while it is off. With sync enabled, breaks land on a
  shared wall-clock grid instead of counting from when the timer last
  started, so every device with a matching work duration, break duration,
  and grid offset rests at the same moment. No network is used; there are no
  accounts and no pairing, and devices never communicate. Work duration and
  break duration are ordinary settings fields and must be entered the same
  on every device; grid offset has no field of its own and is instead filled
  in automatically from each device's own clock the moment sync is turned
  on, so it only lines up between devices whose clocks were on the same UTC
  offset when sync was switched on; turn sync off and on again after a time
  change or a trip to re-derive it. Nothing detects a mismatch in any of the
  three, so compare the dashboard's break-times line on two devices to confirm
  they actually agree.

Changed

• Replaced the generated SVG break landscape with a bundled first-party
  illustration and 4K delivery derivative, using golden-ratio placement, a
  static dawn, day, dusk, or night treatment selected from local time and held
  for the complete break, and one localized amber return fade with
  reduced-motion, higher-contrast, and constrained-crop fallbacks.
• Centered the break message and assigned the reflective message, guidance,
  and countdown to distinct local Newsreader, system-sans, and monospace roles
  while preserving reduced-motion and higher-contrast behavior.
• Downgrading to a build older than this one resets reminder settings to
  defaults, discarding the saved work duration and break duration.
  reminder-settings.json moves to schema v3 to carry the new sync fields
  above, and loading the file with this build rewrites it to v3 even when
  sync stays off. Older builds parse the file with deny_unknown_fields, so
  a v3 file is rejected outright; the repair path that runs on a rejected
  file then overwrites it with fresh defaults. This has always been how a
  schema bump behaves, but this is the first release where stepping back to
  an older build is a real possibility, so it is worth stating plainly: back
  up reminder-settings.json first if a rollback is possible and the saved
  durations matter.
• With sync enabled, resuming from pause rejoins the shared grid instead of
  starting a fresh work interval, and taking a manual break no longer
  postpones the next scheduled break.
• While it runs on macOS, Unfocus is intentionally tray and menu-bar only,
  with no Dock icon and no application menu. Reopen or focus the dashboard
  from the tray icon, which also carries the reminder controls and the quit
  action.
• Hardened the shared overlay lifecycle on every platform. A break now builds
  every monitor's window before showing any of them, so a late failure cannot
  leave one display covered while the others are still loading. A failed
  overlay close is retried up to three times with a bounded backoff instead of
  being logged and abandoned, a sibling-close command that cannot be delivered
  immediately is retried rather than dropped, and a new break is refused while
  a previous run's cleanup is still outstanding.
• Added tauri-nspanel as a macOS-only dependency, pinned to an immutable Git
  revision because no released crate provides the necessary Tauri 2 panel
  behavior. THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt and the generated SBOM now record the
  complete locked Git identity and declared license of Git-sourced packages,
  which crates.io metadata does not supply.
• Continuous integration now runs the locked Rust test suite on macOS instead
  of only a compile check.
• Updated SvelteKit to 2.70.3, Bun types to 1.4.0, Svelte to 5.56.10, Vite to
  8.2.2, and the pinned Rust toolchain to 1.98.0; regenerated the lockfile and
  third-party notices.
• Reworked History into a compact Monday-aligned calendar covering the newest
  90 local days. Fixed intensity levels represent confirmed active
  minutes, while zero activity and unavailable data remain distinct. Selecting
  a day reveals only that day's totals, hourly activity, and grouped break
  outcomes without streaks, scores, or timer controls.

Fixed

• Break overlays on macOS did not reach other Spaces or cover full-screen
  applications. Each overlay is now a non-activating native panel at
  screen-saver level that joins every Space and acts as a full-screen
  auxiliary, so a break can cover each connected display without taking
  activation away from the app you were using. The panels stay above the layer
  the Quartz full-screen probe reads, so an overlay never classifies itself as
  the active full-screen window. macOS remains preview; this establishes no
  physical multi-monitor qualification.

Unfocus v0.5.0-alpha.1

These early builds are not code-signed or notarized. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: X11 is qualified. APT archive metadata is signed; application binaries are unsigned. Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS: Preview and unnotarized. Multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: Idle and fullscreen probes are implemented, but interactive multi-monitor qualification is pending.

Changes

Added

• Added © 2026 Abhik Sarkar to the foot of the consumer dashboard, with only
  Abhik Sarkar linked. Explicitly activating the name asks the system browser
  to open the fixed https://abhik.ai address rather than navigating the
  dashboard away, and says so plainly if no browser could be opened. Unfocus
  itself still makes no application-originated runtime network call.
• Kept raw Your day presence history on this device for at least 90 days,
  beyond the 24-hour live window the strip already shows. The existing
  activity-history.json file stays hot for the latest day, and segments that
  age out of it are archived into local activity-archive-<key>.json 30-day
  epoch chunks in the same config directory. This stays local-only like
  everything else in Unfocus, with no account and no network call. History
  fills forward only: compatible existing local data is preserved, but activity
  from before History was installed cannot be backfilled. Whole archive chunks
  expire together, so an older partial chunk can remain until its complete
  30-day block expires.
• Added main-window-only range history commands for the consumer dashboard.
  get_activity_range returns bucketed activeMs, afkMs, and
  longestActiveMs values for caller-provided boundaries, and
  get_break_range returns chronological privacy-safe {atMs, kind} break
  outcomes for [start, end) queries up to 31 elapsed days.
• Added a transient consumer History view exposing the newest 90 browser-local
  days as three newest-first 30-day pages. It follows the saved Day starts
  preference, loads on demand, shows activity and break outcomes together, and
  does not change the reminder timer, probes, or overlays.

Changed

• Raised the break-outcome ledger's retention from 7 to at least 90 days and
  removed its fixed event cap, matching the activity history above.
  break-events.json is now bounded by the 90-day time window and keeps enough
  local break outcomes to back the history view as well as the existing day
  and week summaries. The old 512-event cap was a live defect: a 20-minute
  work interval can produce up to 72 scheduled breaks a day, and with
  natural-idle and fullscreen-suppress outcomes added in, the cap could
  already be reached inside the old 7-day window, silently undercounting the
  dashboard's week totals.

Unfocus v0.4.0-alpha.1

These early builds are not code-signed or notarized. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: X11 is qualified. APT archive metadata is signed; application binaries are unsigned. Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS: Preview and unnotarized. Multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: Idle and fullscreen probes are implemented, but interactive multi-monitor qualification is pending.

Changes

Supersedes the unpublished v0.3.1-alpha.1 draft. This public alpha includes all of that draft’s dashboard, accessibility, and release-integrity improvements.

Added

• Added a full multi-platform install guide covering package
  selection, checksum and provenance verification, first-run defaults, local
  data and uninstall paths, build-from-source pins, and platform troubleshooting.
• Added an elapsed-progress indicator to the consumer dashboard. It appears only
  during an active work interval and stays hidden while paused, during a break
  or preview, and whenever reminder status is unavailable.
• Added a time axis to the Your day activity strip. Faint gridlines mark
  every fourth hour behind the bars, with the hour labeled beneath in the
  system clock format and the right edge marked now, so a bar can be traced
  to the time of day it covers.
• Added a Day starts setting to the Your day summary. The chosen hour is
  marked with a stronger rule and a brighter label on the activity strip's time
  axis, so the day can be read from when it actually begins. The setting is kept
  on this device and never affects the break timer.
• Added a public APT install path for Debian and Ubuntu alphas via
  abhiksark/unfocus-apt (apt install unfocus). The archive metadata at apt.abhik.ai is
  signed; application binaries remain unsigned.
• Added slow, stepped drift and twinkle to the break scene's stars, with a
  10-18 second cadence and a dawn fade. Reduced-motion preferences stop the
  motion entirely.

Changed

• Rebuilt the consumer dashboard as a quieter single column with plain sections,
  shared design tokens, system body fonts, sentence-case labels, and WCAG AA
  contrast at rendered text sizes. The break screen keeps its layout and uses
  the shared display font token.
• Described Unfocus as both a break app and a local reflection surface in the
  README and package metadata. Your day and break outcomes remain
  observe-only.
• Clarified Ubuntu as the primary qualified Linux install path: README and
  docs/install.md put the signed APT repo
  (apt.abhik.ai) first, separate package trust from
  macOS/Windows application code signing, and document APT upgrade and privacy
  notes for that path.
• Updated the README consumer dashboard screenshot to the single-column layout
  with the Your day time axis and Day starts selector. Break-screen media
  remains unchanged.
• Updated the frontend toolchain to Vite 8.2.1, svelte-check 4.7.5, the Svelte
  Vite plugin 7.3.0, and Node type definitions 26.2.0, and regenerated the
  dependency license notices.

Fixed

• Fixed SBOM generation when a dependency update leaves two copies of a package
  in the lockfile. Each dependency now resolves the way the runtime would, so a
  nested copy serves its own owner while everything else sees the root copy.
• Relayed Homebrew release dispatch through the default branch so the
  environment-restricted tap automation can receive alpha publication events.

Security

• Overrode the transitive nanoid dependency to 3.3.18 to remediate its
  advisory, and regenerated the lockfile and third-party notices.

Unfocus v0.3.0-alpha.1

These early builds are not code-signed or notarized. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: install the .deb, .rpm, or .AppImage. X11 only; Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS: right-click the app and choose Open the first time. Multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: idle and fullscreen probes report as unavailable.

Changes

Added

• Added an observe-only Your day summary on the consumer dashboard: rolling
  last-24-hour active and away totals, longest continuous stretch, deep-block
  count, and a half-hour presence strip derived from the idle probe without
  keylogging. Probe failures freeze classification and never change the break
  timer.
• Persisted activity segments locally across restarts (atomic JSON next to app
  settings, pruned to the rolling window). Write failures keep the previous
  complete history and leave the reminder timer unchanged.
• Added a local break-event ledger for scheduled shown, natural idle, fullscreen
  suppress, and manual take-break outcomes, with calm dashboard counts for the
  last day and week.
• Adapted scheduled break presentation from continuous activity and AFK history
  without changing the pure timer: after a long active stretch a short micro-idle
  no longer natural-credits; long AFK still prefers quiet natural credit when
  idle; fullscreen is never overridden.
• Credited a due break as a natural rest when the user has already been idle for
  the break duration, instead of running a silent break phase.
• Added pure lifecycle and accessibility contract tests that pin release-tier
  evidence rules (timer stalls, multi-monitor topology policy, and a11y
  presentation) without inventing platform qualification.
• Implemented Windows idle (GetLastInputInfo) and foreground fullscreen
  probes (window outer rect vs monitor rcMonitor). Windows remains an early
  build until interactive qualification is recorded.
• Scaffolded an opt-in wayland-sway Cargo feature for a Sway 1.11+ Wayland
  probe candidate (Sway IPC fullscreen, ext_idle_notifier_v1 input-idle,
  positive runtime gates). Default packages still treat Wayland as unsupported;
  no multi-monitor or release qualification is claimed.

Changed

• Polished the consumer Your day and Break outcomes card: clearer
  loading, empty, and error copy; muted zero counts; strip legend; less
  redundant captions. Still observe-only with no timer control.
• Documented platform status honestly for this alpha: Linux X11 remains the
  only qualified backend; macOS is preview without multi-monitor acceptance;
  Windows packages include probes but interactive multi-monitor qualification
  is pending; Wayland is unsupported in default packages; packages are not
  code-signed or notarized.

Unfocus v0.2.0-alpha.1

These early builds are not code-signed or notarized. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS and the GitHub build-provenance attestations.
The release also includes a CycloneDX SBOM and the bundled third-party notices.

• Linux: install the .deb, .rpm, or .AppImage. X11 only; Wayland is unsupported.
• macOS: right-click the app and choose Open the first time. Multi-monitor behavior is not yet qualified.
• Windows: idle and fullscreen probes report as unavailable.

Changes

Added

• Added a generated, monochrome system-tray icon with platform-specific light
  and template variants.
• Added single-instance activation so reopening Unfocus reveals the existing
  dashboard without starting another tray or reminder timer.
• Added a live tray status row and native controls for a bounded thirty-minute
  pause, resume, and an immediate configured break, updated at meaningful
  minute and state boundaries.
• Added the same reminder status and controls to the dashboard. Pause expiry is
  stored locally, remains bounded across restarts, and resumes into a fresh
  work interval.
• Added a private vulnerability-reporting policy.

Changed

• Replaced the diagnostics-first startup screen with a scene-led consumer
  dashboard. The previous technical dashboard remains available through the
  timing editor's Advanced section, and the selected view is remembered
  locally.
• A known tray setup failure now appears in local diagnostics and keeps the
  dashboard reachable; closing the dashboard exits instead of hiding an
  unreachable background reminder.
• Updated the frontend toolchain to Vite 8, TypeScript 7, and the Svelte Vite
  plugin 7, and updated x11rb to 0.14.
• Updated the GitHub Actions used for checkout, artifact transfer, and build
  provenance.
• Improved SBOM platform metadata and regenerated dependency license notices.
• Clarified issue forms for current package and platform-support reporting.
• Documented the dev-first branching strategy, release workflow, download
  choices, platform status, and contributor checks.
• Expanded CI and release Rust tests to cover all targets and features.
• Normalized the embedded Debian package version so prereleases upgrade in
  Debian's intended alpha, beta, release-candidate, and stable order.
• Recorded Linux tray acceptance on Ubuntu 22.04.5 GNOME 42.9 X11 with
  Ubuntu AppIndicators 42-2~fakesync1: the AppImage ran on the host, while the
  Debian package was installed in Debian 12 and the RPM in Fedora 43 against
  that same physical two-display X11 session. Wayland remains unsupported.
