Walasr v0.3.0

What's New in v0.3.0

Thank you to Sidiq Prihatno for redesigning every reminder in this release.

What's New

• A new look for every reminder. Reminders, the adhan and the iqamah countdown now come out of the notch: black at the top, flowing into the colour of the prayer's sky, with a soft light along the edge. The full-screen countdown has the same look, as a glowing circle in the middle of the screen.
• The prayer's name comes first. When a countdown starts, it shows "Time for Asr" for a moment before the numbers. At iqamah it says "Time to pray", then counts up how long it has been.
• Close after iqamah. Choose how many minutes after iqamah the countdown closes itself, in Settings › Iqamah.
• Count down to the adhan (optional). Turn it on in Settings › Reminders to count down to each adhan, for the prayers you choose.
• Glass buttons in full screen. They stay hidden until you point at the countdown, so your screen stays clear.
• Dim the screen your way. Drag the thin arc along the bottom of the notch countdown to set how dark the screen gets; it still reaches full darkness at iqamah.
• Prayer times in the notch can show a countdown, as in the menu bar.
• Settings reorganised: General, Location, Prayer Times, Reminders, Iqamah, Screen, Lock Mac, Menu Bar & Notch and About. On screens without a notch, choose a floating pill or an island attached to the top.

Bug Fixes

• Walasr opens at login again. Only the copy in Applications registers itself as a login item.
• A minimized countdown no longer stays minimized for the next prayer after your Mac was locked.
• The schedule panel closes when you open Settings or another Walasr window.
• Snooze never runs past iqamah. It hides the countdown for 5 minutes, or comes back for the last 10 seconds before iqamah if that's sooner, and no longer moves iqamah later. In the last minute only "I've prayed" remains.
• The adhan isn't announced twice with the full-screen countdown.
• Prayer times in the notch no longer block clicks on what's around them.
• Friday labels read correctly for the Jumu'ah reminder.
• Lower CPU use while reminders are on screen.

Walasr v0.2.1

What's New in v0.2.1

Bug Fixes

• The iqamah countdown is back beside the prayer name. In v0.2.0 the window buttons pushed the countdown onto its own row; now the number sits on the same line as "Asr · Iqamah in" again.
• Smaller, tidier window buttons. Dim/blur off, minimize and close are small buttons in the card's top-right corner that never move the layout. The same goes for the adhan, reminder and Friday notch, and for the full-screen countdown.
• Full-screen countdown buttons no longer look greyed out while you're working in another app.

Walasr v0.2.0

What's New in v0.2.0

What's New

• Lock your Mac at iqamah (optional). Turn it on in Settings › Iqamah to lock your Mac at iqamah or a few minutes after, per prayer. A 10-second warning appears on every screen first, with Cancel (or Esc) if you need a moment. It never locks while you're sharing or presenting your screen, after you skip or close the countdown, or when you wake your Mac after iqamah has passed.
• Close the adhan and reminder notch with the new × button.
• Change the menu bar display from the right-click menu. Pick a format under "Menu Bar Display" without opening Settings.
• Cleaner notch controls. Minimize and close sit in the top-right corner, apart from Snooze and I've prayed.

Bug Fixes

• The "10 minutes left" reminder no longer shows twice.
• The notch sits on the camera notch even when your MacBook isn't the main display.
• Friday's countdown now says "Jumu'ah adhan in" instead of counting down to iqamah.
• The lock warning always appears for a full 10 seconds before your Mac locks. If the warning can't be shown, Walasr skips the lock.

Walasr v0.1.2

What's New in v0.1.2

What's New

• Works across all your displays. The full-screen countdown now appears on every screen, with its buttons on the screen your pointer is on. Reminders and the notch countdown also show a small pill on external displays. Prefer one screen? Choose "Main screen only" in Settings › Iqamah.
• Close or shrink the notch countdown. The × button hides it for that prayer (darkening and blur too, while the menu bar keeps counting). The minimize button shrinks it to a small icon and timer; click it to open it again.
• Set each prayer's iqamah gap during setup, so the countdown matches your nearest masjid from the start.
• Blur is now off by default (darkening stays on). Turn it on anytime in Settings › Iqamah.

Bug Fixes

• The screen never freezes anymore. In the last 2 minutes before iqamah the countdown used to block clicks and keyboard; now your work stays usable the whole time and only the countdown's own buttons take clicks.
• Switching the countdown style back to Notch works during a countdown. It used to stay full screen until the next prayer.
• The 15-second preview switches to full screen at the right moment for your "minutes before iqamah" setting, instead of always after 6 seconds.

Walasr v0.1.1

What's New in v0.1.1

What's New

• Choose when the iqamah countdown appears. Start it right at the adhan (as before) or only a few minutes before iqamah, e.g. 5 minutes before when your mosque waits 15.
• Switch to full screen near iqamah. The countdown can start quietly in the notch and move to full screen a few minutes before iqamah.
• Live iqamah countdown in the menu bar, to the second, matching the one on screen.
• "Now" status after the adhan. The menu bar and schedule panel show the current prayer and time to iqamah instead of jumping straight to the next prayer.
• New app icon.
• Simpler countdown styles: Notch or Full screen. If you used Window, Walasr switches you to Full screen.

Bug Fixes

• Countdown digits roll again instead of just swapping each second.
• Darkening and blur are smooth instead of stepping once a second.
• The adhan notch and the iqamah countdown no longer overlap. The countdown waits until the adhan moment is done.
• Much lower CPU use with the panel or countdown open. The night-sky panel went from about 4% to near zero.

Walasr v0.1.0

What's New in v0.1.0

What's New

• Official prayer times in your menu bar. Kemenag RI for Indonesia (per regency/city), JAKIM for Malaysia, MUIS for Singapore, and astronomical calculation everywhere else. Times are downloaded once a month and keep working offline.
• Iqamah countdown after every adhan. Show it in the notch, full screen or a window, and set how many minutes each prayer's iqamah gap is.
• The screen slowly darkens and blurs until iqamah, so you stop working in time to pray. Turn either off in Settings, or for a single prayer minimize the countdown to the notch or switch off dim & blur.
• Snooze, skip, Friday and pause. Snooze once for 5 minutes, skip when you've prayed, get a Jumu'ah reminder before Dhuhr on Fridays, and pause reminders for a few days when you need to.
• Notch view on MacBooks. See the next prayer and its countdown beside the notch, alongside or instead of the menu bar.
• A schedule panel that follows the sky, with a sun arc across the day, the Hijri date and the next prayer time front and center.
• Reminders before each prayer and a soft chime when the time comes, plus a short ayah about prayer during the countdown.
• 12- or 24-hour time, per-prayer minute corrections, Indonesian and English.
• Free, with no account and no tracking.
