Gaugelet 1.0.1 — A cleaner gauge

A focused visual update for the thing you see all day

Gaugelet 1.0.1 replaces the old colored menu-bar renderer with a cleaner, compact half-gauge that automatically adapts to macOS light and dark appearances. Your live allowance percentage stays visible beside it.

Changed

• New compact half-gauge menu-bar icon
• Native light/dark menu-bar adaptation
• Live percentage remains visible beside the gauge
• Seven themes remain available inside Gaugelet
• Finder and notification icons keep the stable blue Core identity
