Zerre 0.7.0

Fixes

• Fix fullscreen focus shielding and soften the menu bar edge

Improvements

• Improve notch home interactions and add focus shield controls

Maintenance

• Release notes for 0.7.0
• Copy the app's sprites to the website, and draft the 0.7 LinkedIn kit
• Capture the "Hold this" idea: lending Zerre a drag in the notch
• Hop toward the notch on an arc, and arc back down to home
• Keep Zerre out of sight above the screen, and time its hops to the display
• Celebrate each trait the first time it's earned, and redo the notch desk
• Keep the notch hop moving off screen, and give the room tap targets
• Put the notch on one pixel grid and add the tomato shelf
• Tell Zerre about Antigravity turns, through its own hooks file
• Stand only on window tops that aren't behind another window
• Let the Zerre be dragged up to the top of the screen
• Trot to the middle of the screen before jumping up to the notch
• Focus sessions: blocks and breaks, a tomato vine, a recap, the shield and the notch
• Spike the focus shield: a blur that blocks clicks outside its holes
• Note that CI archives with an older Xcode than the dev Mac

Zerre 0.5.0

Improved

• Walking and animations use about half the CPU they did, so Zerre is easier on your battery.

Zerre 0.1.0

First public release

• A pixel creature that lives on your desktop: naps on the Dock, hops onto windows, chases your cursor
• Grows from what you actually do: a sprout for the days you show up, traits it wears for your habits
• Dozens of pastimes and trait combos, from juggling to fishing off a window's edge
• Works alongside Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode: holds up a note when an agent needs you
• Calm by default: at most three nudges a day, quiet in meetings, focus and at night
• Private: notices that things happen, never what they were, and keeps it all on your Mac
