Crema 1.1.0

A round of polish for the notch companion — smoother HUDs, sharper feedback, and
a handful of fixes to how it reads what's playing and how it gets out of your way.

What's new

  • HUD levels now animate: volume and brightness slide to their new value with a
    spring instead of snapping.
  • New Indicator option for the card style — swap the slider for a filled bar
    where the whole card fills to the level. Set it in Settings → General, next to the style picker.
  • Dynamic HUD icons: the glyph now tracks the value — volume waves that grow with
    the level and a distinct muted state, and matching screen- and keyboard-brightness
    icons — swapping with a soft symbol transition.
  • Slimmer system HUDs in the card style, sized for a bar rather than album art.
  • Full support for Reduce Motion — with the accessibility setting on, the
    surface lands without motion and HUD levels and icons settle dry.

Fixes

  • The lock screen now behaves: while your Mac is locked, HUD replacement steps
    aside so macOS shows its own volume and brightness feedback, and resumes when you
    return.
  • Brightness keys at the very top or bottom of the scale now still flash the HUD,
    matching the native full/empty bar when you keep pressing at the limit.
  • The brightness slider updates live as you drag it.
  • Now playing no longer pops up when a paused app quietly hands playback back —
    a browser tab handing off to a paused player won't surface on its own.
  • Sharper hover on the card style: the hover region now follows the card you
    actually see, with no dead zones around it.
  • Consistency pass on the Brazilian Portuguese translation.

Requirements: macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later · Apple Silicon or Intel.
