Stand 0.1.8

Install

This build is for Apple silicon Macs (M1 or later) on macOS 11 or later.

1. Download Stand-0.1.8-macos-arm64.zip.
2. Unzip it and move Stand into Applications. Replace the copy that is already there.
3. Open Stand. macOS will say Apple could not verify it is free of malware. Click Done.
4. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and click Open Anyway. Confirm with your password or Touch ID.
5. Open Stand again. It lives in the menu bar. Closing the settings window leaves it running. Quit is in the menu bar.

If Open Anyway is not there, run this in Terminal, then open Stand:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Stand.app

Quit the old Stand from its menu bar before opening this one, so only one copy is running.

What changed

The menu follows a Mac control menu. Now names the clock. Work and Break are one row each, and the lengths sit in that row. The menu bar is the icon.

The window follows the Mac’s appearance. Schedule is one group, and Start break is the filled button.

The break cover is a solid warm room, so the desktop stays hidden. A seated figure rests under a lamp. One line stays for the whole break. The clock is small. End break sits at the bottom.

About Stand shows the icon, the version, and a short description.
