• Panel on/off switch now responds instantly (optimistic) and reconciles

v1.1.0 — Desktop notifications

v1.1.0 — Desktop notifications

Proton VPN now tells you when something changes without opening the panel. Notifications go through the shell's notification daemon, so they respect Do Not Disturb and match your theme's popup styling.

What's new

• Desktop notifications on:

  • Connect — "Proton VPN connected" with the server label (e.g. NL-FREE#239 · Amsterdam · Netherlands)
  • Disconnect — "Proton VPN disconnected"
  • Connection lost — critical alert if the VPN drops while connected
  • Action failed — critical alert when connect/disconnect/country commands error

• New notificationsEnabled setting (default true) — flip it to false to silence everything:

  omarchy bar set tharin.protonvpn notificationsEnabled false

• No noise: the first status poll on startup is suppressed, and transitions are de-duplicated across multi-monitor bars (one toast per change, not one per monitor).

Requirements

notify-send (part of libnotify). Disable the notificationsEnabled setting if it's not installed.
