- Frontmost App: Name of the current frontmost app.
- Connection Type: Whether on Wi-Fi, Ethernet or None.
- Displays: Which and how many displays are attached and which is the primary.
Menu Item
Control these in Preferences > General.
- Choose to show the app in the Menu Bar, either with or without showing up in the Dock.
- Left-clicking hides and shows the app.
- Right-clicking shows a menu which includes quick access to Actions.
- Optionally launch the app automatically on login.
Miscellaneous
- Updates the Active sensor to turn ‘off’ when the application is quit either manually or due to system shutdown.
- Fix some cases where zones, notification categories, and actions would not automatically sync sometimes on Big Sur.
- Allows the current network hardware device to decide ‘internal’ status, in addition to which Wi-Fi network you’re connected to. For example, an ethernet dongle on your desk would report a unique value. See the Connection Type sensor for what the app believes the current address is.
📱 iOS-specific
- Fixes name of default choice on iOS 14 for “Open Links In.”
- Fixes handling of non-precise location accuracy by prompting during pull-to-refresh for temporary precise location permission to send a more accurate location.
- Fixes complications failing to update on Watch if none of the configured complications contained a template needing rendering.
- Fixes cases where the Watch App would signal an action was performed before it was actually confirmed to have been performed. This may make it feel a little slower, but it is more accurate.
