Simple Notch 0.3.4

Added

• Coding agent mascots for Claude Code and Codex. Their pose shows whether an
  agent is working, needs permission, needs input, finished, or failed, in the
  notch, the Coding Agents drawer, and Settings.
• Volume and brightness keys replace the macOS indicator with the notch event
  once Accessibility access is granted. The Important Events settings show
  a button to grant it.

Changed

• Paused music keeps its artwork on the left, but the right side returns to
  your chosen widget 10 seconds after pausing.
• Claude Code background-task notifications show their summary instead of raw
  markup.

Fixed

• Hiding in full screen now detects full-screen apps on notched displays, per
  display, and no longer mistakes a zoomed window for full screen.
• Weather retries failed updates with backoff and refreshes after the Mac wakes
  from sleep.

Simple Notch 0.3.3

Added

• Weather widgets with current conditions, UV index, saved locations, and
  WeatherKit setup guidance.
• Important-event notifications in the notch, plus a larger drawer owned by
  the selected left-side widget.
• Expanded Coding Agents drawer and refinements to compact playback controls,
  scrolling text, and customization.

Simple Notch 0.3.2

Fixed

• Keep the compact music bars animated during playback in Low Power Mode; the
  meter still stops when paused, hidden, or Reduce Motion is enabled.

Simple Notch 0.3.1

Fixed

• Restored continuous animation for the compact right-side music bars after
  layout changes.
• Made the compact play/pause control respond immediately, resist stale media
  updates, and use the full right-side hit area.

Simple Notch 0.2.0

Added

• Seven-day trial and in-app Polar license activation, with device-only
  Keychain storage, support for up to three Macs, periodic validation, and a
  seven-day offline allowance.
• A Polar-powered storefront for one-time and yearly plans, including secure
  post-checkout license-key delivery, download links, and activation guidance.
• Legal notice, privacy policy, and software license terms for the storefront.

Changed

• Now Playing marquee text uses Core Animation layers for smoother, more
  reliable continuous scrolling.

Simple Notch 0.1.2

Added

• App launcher shortcuts can be reordered by dragging their icons in Settings,
  with keyboard and context-menu controls available as alternatives.

Changed

• Replaced download-only update notifications with signed Sparkle updates that
  can download and install new versions automatically.

Simple Notch 0.1.1

Added

• Automatic update check: Simple Notch looks for a new release on GitHub once a
  day and offers to download it. Turn it off or check manually in Settings ›
  General.

Changed

• The app launcher holds up to 8 apps, up from 6.
• Removed the "Use Preview Track" menu item from release builds.

Simple Notch 0.1.0

Added

• Compact Now Playing next to the notch: cover art on the left, audio bars on
  the right coloured from the album art.
• Hover drawer with playback controls, an app launcher, or automatic switching
  between them.
• Per-display surfaces: attached notch shape on built-in displays, floating pill
  on external monitors.
• Now Playing, Spotify, and Apple Music sources.
• Liquid Glass or solid black surfaces, full-screen and external-display hiding.
• Settings for notch and pill sizing, plus a Permissions pane for Automation
  access.
