Time Out 2.5b2
(Release 2046b): released 2018-10-09; requires macOS 10.10 or later; Mojave compatible
New option to choose which days of the week a break is available
- Renamed the Break Schedule Available options to "Every Day" and "Between", and added a new "All Day" option.
- The latter two now include buttons for the days of the week, enabling days to be toggled off or on, to indicate on which days to use the break.
- The difference between them is that "All Day" doesn't have the time fields, and "Between" does.
- This new feature could be useful to have breaks that are only used on weekends, or working days, or Wednesdays and Fridays, or any other combination.
- This new option is available as a reward for current supporters. If you were a supporter in the past, but it has expired, you can extend your supporter status to use this feature, or try for an hour at a time.
New option to disable the app switcher, force quit, and shut down panels during a break
- Added a checkbox on the Advanced page to disable the panels that appear when switching apps via ⌘Tab, force quit via ⌘⌥Escape, and sleep, restart, or shut down via Ctrl-Eject (or Ctrl-Power). Defaults off.
- This new option is also available as a reward for current supporters.
Mojave dark mode and compatibility
- Fixed a crash of the previous beta on macOS versions before Mojave, when displaying the status popover. Sorry about that!
- Fixed some cosmetic visual issues from the previous beta.
Other changes
- Can now manually postpone a break for longer than the frequency interval.
- Fixed playing a sound for the Display Notification break action.
Time Out 2.5b1
(Release 2045b): released 2018-10-02; requires macOS 10.10 or later; Mojave compatible
Mojave dark mode and compatibility
- All of the app content has been updated to support dark mode on macOS 10.14.
- Built for Mojave (macOS 10.14), but still compatible back to Yosemite (10.10).
Other changes
- Fixed a scheduler issue where a lower priority break may be skipped if a higher priority break has never been done.
- Removed the Fabric crash reporter, to avoid sending unnecessary data to a third party.
