Archaive 1.2.0

Archaive 1.2.0 brings the sunset theme to onboarding and the drag-to-install DMG.

• Edit the keep-awake shortcut from onboarding or the menu bar. Default: Control–Option–Command–K.
• Practice with a morphing moon/sun icon, then select your Mac’s actual sleep mode on the final slide.
• Cleaner menu, tighter onboarding spacing, and smooth slide indicators.

Download the Apple Silicon DMG, drag Archaive to Applications, then launch it from Applications. Quit the previous version before replacing it so it can restore sleep and brightness.

Includes the DMG SHA-256 checksum. The app is ad-hoc signed and is not Apple-notarized.

Archaive 1.1.1

Updates the Archaive logo from S to A in the app icon, DMG volume icon, and repository artwork. Keeps the existing green rounded-square design and drag-to-install layout.

Download the Apple Silicon DMG and drag Archaive onto Applications. Requires macOS 13 or later. Quit the existing app before replacing it.

The app is ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized. Previous release files and checksums remain unchanged.

Archaive 1.1.0

Archaive 1.1.0 brings the latest code from summrs-private into the public roxvi/arachive repository.

• New Veil-style drag-to-install DMG: a 760 × 480 Finder window, large app and Applications icons, and a connecting arrow.
• Includes the animated sun/moon status icon and the latest onboarding improvements.
• Public Homebrew downloads no longer require a GitHub token.

Download Archaive-1.1.0-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Archaive onto Applications. Quit an existing copy before upgrading. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 13 or later.

The app remains ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized. If macOS blocks the first launch and you trust the source, use the per-app Open Anyway approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Quarantine and Gatekeeper remain enabled.

Validation: all nine regression tests passed; release build, mounted-app signature, DMG integrity, Finder layout, Applications link, and prevention of installer overwrite verified. Sleep, lid, and hotspot hardware behavior was not re-tested for this packaging release.

SHA-256 is provided alongside the DMG. The existing v1.0 ZIP is preserved unchanged.

Archaive 1.0

Archaive is a native macOS menu bar app for keep-awake control, lid-triggered brightness dimming, and hotspot fallback.

• Control–Option–Command–K toggles keep awake after one-time administrator setup.
• Optional custom hotspot passwords are stored in Keychain.
• Includes an interactive welcome tour with sliding pages.

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 13 or later. This build is ad-hoc signed, not notarized. Gatekeeper may require per-app first-launch approval; quarantine is not removed.

Quit Archaive before upgrading or uninstalling so it can restore sleep and brightness. Remove optional password-free access from the app menu before uninstalling if you no longer want that permission.

Validation: nine regression tests, release build, and signature verification passed. Native animation and hardware behavior have not been fully verified.
