Drifty 1.7.0
Summary
Drifty 1.7.0 makes the onboarding cat interactive, softens the Projects help hint, makes desktop Google sign-in recover cleanly, and keeps Automatic close consistent across Drift alerts and Desktop pet settings.
Changes
- Onboarding now uses the live desktop cat instead of a static preview. It greets you when the step appears and shows the same heart reaction as the desktop pet when clicked.
- The Projects help hint now uses a softer hover treatment and opens its explanation beside the question mark instead of below the title.
- Desktop Google sign-in now returns to a retryable state when a browser callback is slow, cancelled, expired, or malformed, without requiring a Drifty restart.
- Automatic close now appears in both Drift alerts and Desktop pet settings. Both controls share one preference and remain disabled while Drift alerts are off.
Compatibility
- Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later.
