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.
