OpenAlive v1.0.3

What's new in v1.0.3

Added

• Tray balloon notification. The first time the window is minimized to the tray while active (green icon), a system balloon appears confirming the app is running in the background. Shows once and never again.

Changed

• Tray icon color. Green only when actively simulating input; gray in every other state (inactive, outside hours, lunch). Icon now reflects the correct state immediately on startup.
• Compact window. Height reduced from 460 to 420 px — same content, less empty space.
• Shorter support tab message. The ☕ tab body is now 4 lines instead of 8, across all 8 supported languages.

Full changelog

OpenAlive 1.0.2 Installer

[1.0.2] - 2026-05-31

Changed

• Faster startup. The app is now packaged in PyInstaller onedir mode
  instead of onefile. The single-file build self-extracted the full ~20 MB
  payload to a temporary folder on every launch before any code ran; the
  onedir build skips that step entirely, so the window and tray icon appear
  almost immediately.
• UPX compression disabled in the build. UPX-compressed DLLs had to be
  decompressed in memory at every launch (and triggered repeated antivirus
  re-scans of the extracted temp files). Disabling it trades a slightly larger
  install size for a noticeably faster, quieter startup.
• pyautogui (and its transitive dependencies: pyscreeze, PIL,
  mouseinfo) is now imported lazily inside the activity worker thread instead
  of at module load, keeping the heavy import off the startup critical path.

Notes

• No functional or behavioral changes: mouse/keyboard simulation, schedule,
  tray, languages, and autostart all work exactly as before.
• The installer still ships as a single OpenAlive_Setup_v1.0.2.exe; the
  onedir layout is internal to the install folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenAlive)
