Beckon 0.6.6

List view is now the default, and Beckon still remembers your chosen layout.

Devices that Apple reported offline at the last reload show a muted icon and an Offline at last reload badge. This uses the saved availability flag without storing locations or adding background checks. Ring remains available because the saved status may have changed.

Beckon 0.6.5

AirTags in Beckon's sidebar now opens the Items tab directly in Apple's Find My app, just like Find your AirTags in the menu bar. Beckon keeps the current page selected instead of opening its old AirTags page.

The menu bar, sidebar, and beckon://airtags link share the same behavior.

Find your AirTags now opens the Items tab directly in Apple's Find My app, instead of opening Beckon's AirTags page. The menu shortcut uses a neutral gray appearance, and the walkthrough explains the simpler flow.

The shortcut doesn't require Accessibility or Screen Recording access.
