Crema 1.0.0
Crema 1.0.0 — first release
A quiet companion for your Mac's notch. Native and out of the way.
Crema shows what's playing near the notch — album art, a touch of its color, and
the controls you reach for — and gives volume, screen brightness, and keyboard
backlight their own HUDs that can optionally replace the system's.
Highlights
- Now playing at the notch: artwork, an accent color drawn from it, and play/pause,
previous, next, and a draggable scrubber. - Its own volume, screen-brightness, and keyboard-backlight HUDs — optionally
replacing the native ones. - Three styles — notch, card, and classic — one per display.
- Lives in the menu bar with no Dock icon; surfaces briefly when the track changes,
then tucks away. - A Settings window for styles, HUD behavior, permissions, and launch at login.
Requirements: macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later · Apple Silicon or Intel.
