Glance 1.0.3

Glance 1.0.3

Glance now runs on macOS 26 as well as 27 — the current release and the one
before it.

The previous version asked for 27 in its Info.plist, but nothing in the code
needed it: there were no availability checks anywhere, and the menu bar
geometry is measured at runtime rather than assumed. So the requirement was
stricter than it had to be, and this release corrects it. If you're on
macOS 26 and 1.0.2 refused to launch, this one will run.

Older releases are still not supported, and there's no build for them.

Also

• The Buy Me a Coffee links point at the right page now.
• Comments that described macOS 27's menu bar as the reason for the icon
  geometry now describe what the code actually does.

Glance 1.0.2

Glance 1.0.2

The menu bar icon now stays exactly where it is and looks exactly the same.

Before this, two things could change it. A camera appeared beside the date
while a call was current or about to start, which pushed the date sideways
and made the item wider. An update waiting to install added a small dot to
the corner. Both are gone — the icon shows the day number and nothing else,
at a constant width.

What you lose in signal you still get elsewhere: the agenda highlights the
call that's current, ⌘J still joins it, and the menu item reads
"Update to 1.0.3…" when a new version is ready.

Update reminders are quieter

Sparkle's update dialog used to appear behind whatever you were doing, where
a menu bar app's users never saw it. Glance now handles that itself: a
scheduled check updates the menu item instead of opening a window, and
nothing appears until you pick it. Choosing "Check for Updates…" yourself
still shows the normal panel.

Also

• Settings is accurate in a fresh install: the update rows describe the build
  rather than guessing from whether a check has run.
• Screenshots in the README and on glancecalendar.app
  are current, and show invented data rather than a real calendar.

Glance 1.0.1

Glance 1.0.1

Documentation and tooling only. The app behaves exactly as 1.0.0; there is
no reason to update if you already have it installed.

• The README screenshot is now a full popover — month grid and agenda, with
  the meeting join buttons visible — instead of a grid-only crop. Both the
  Mocha and Latte themes are shown.
• Screenshots are rendered by the app itself, with an invented calendar, so
  producing them needs no Screen Recording permission and no personal data.
  script/popover-shot.sh out.png [theme] does it in one command.
• Updates are signed from a key file rather than the login keychain, so
  publishing no longer stalls on an invisible keychain prompt.
