Labaro 0.30.0

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

What's new in 0.30.0

Added

• Each service's links can open in a Chrome profile of your choosing,
  rather than in whichever browser window is in front, so a link from a
  work service lands in the profile signed in to your work account. Turn
  on Settings → Advanced → Link services to Chrome profiles, then pick a
  browser and profile under Browser in a service's Edit window. "Active
  window" keeps the usual behaviour, and email and app links (such as
  Zoom's) open as they always have. If the chosen profile has since been
  deleted from Chrome, links open in the active window instead.

Labaro 0.29.3

What's new in 0.29.3

Added

• A Slack service's Edit window has a Team field, with .slack.com
  after it, for the workspace it opens on. Setting it opens the service
  on that workspace's own address, still signed in. Left empty, Slack
  asks which workspace to sign in to, as before. A team can also be set
  while adding a Slack service.

Labaro 0.29.2

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

What's new in 0.29.2

Fixed

• The X icon in the sidebar is no longer nearly black when X is disabled
  or asleep. It's now X's logo in the same grey as the other icons. An X
  already in the sidebar gets the new icon the next time Labaro starts.

  used while developing Labaro.

Labaro 0.29.0

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

Added

• Focus mode stops Labaro from interrupting you. While it's on, Labaro
  shows no notifications in macOS's Notification Center, and hides the
  unread badges on the sidebar icons, on the menu bar icon and its menu,
  and on the Dock icon. Turn it on or off with the bell icon above the
  "+" at the bottom of the sidebar, or with Tools → Focus Mode, which
  reads "Disable Focus Mode" while it's on. The bell turns violet with a
  slash through it while focus mode is on. Right-click the bell to turn
  focus mode on for 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or for an hour; it turns
  itself off when the time is up, and hovering over the bell shows until
  when. Services are still checked for new messages meanwhile, so the
  badges are up to date when focus mode ends, and notifications held back
  are still listed in Tools → Notifications. Focus mode is always off when
  Labaro starts.

Labaro 0.28.2

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

What's new since 0.28.0

0.28.2

Added

• A View menu, after Edit, with Full Screen (⌃⌥⌘F), Maximize and
  Minimize (⌘M), for whichever Labaro window is in front. Maximize fills
  the screen, and choosing it again puts the window back as it was.
  Full Screen's shortcut replaces macOS's usual ⌃⌘F, which no longer
  does anything in Labaro.

0.28.1

Changed

• Checking a sleeping WhatsApp for unread messages finishes sooner when
  there's nothing unread: about 14 seconds instead of 20, since Labaro
  now stops once WhatsApp has finished catching up rather than always
  waiting the full time. The check uses about 1 GB of memory while it
  runs, so that's less time with it in use.

Labaro 0.28.0

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

What's new in 0.28.0

Added

• Labaro has an icon in the macOS menu bar. Click it to switch to any of
  your first ten services, bringing Labaro to the front even when it's
  hidden or behind another app, or to open Settings. A service with
  something unread has a red or green dot beside its name, as on its
  sidebar icon, and on macOS 14 and later the number of important
  messages when it's known. The icon itself gets a red dot while
  anything important is unread, as Labaro's Dock icon does. It can also
  show how much memory Labaro is using, such as "2.4GB", in red while
  that's over the memory alert's limit. The icon and the memory figure
  are turned on or off in a new Menu Bar section of Settings: the icon
  is on to start with, and the memory figure off. On a MacBook with a
  full menu bar, macOS may hide the icon behind the camera notch.

Labaro 0.27.0

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

What's new since 0.26.1

0.27.0

Changed

• A service woken from sleep opens on the page it was showing when it
  went to sleep, such as the Slack channel, Gmail label or chat you had
  open, instead of on its start page. Quitting Labaro and opening it
  again does the same: each service opens where you left it.

0.26.2

Changed

• A service's name shows the moment you point at its icon in the
  sidebar, just to the right of it and in larger type, like the names
  in the Dock, instead of after a wait in a small tooltip under the
  pointer.

Labaro 0.26.1

Universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Needs macOS 14 or later for per-service sign-in.

What's new in 0.26.1

Added

• The sidebar scrolls when you have more services than fit, so the ones
  at the bottom are no longer out of reach. Up and down buttons show at
  the top and bottom of the icons while there are more that way. Holding
  an icon you're dragging over one scrolls the sidebar, so you can move
  it past the ones in view. Switching to a service whose icon is out of
  sight scrolls it into view.
