onboarding, portability, and two new triggers.

remote-work presence and everyday control.

- Gaming trigger. A "Playing a game" condition: stay awake while a game is in front. Detects apps that declare a games category, anything running from a Steam library (many Steam games skip the declaration), and the cloud and game-streaming clients: GeForce NOW, Boosteroid, Parsec, Moonlight, Shadow. A five-minute grace means alt-tabbing to Discord or a walkthrough doesn't drop the session. - Gaming & Streaming Setup. A new window from the menu, answering "why does my stream or cloud game stutter every second". macOS hops the Wi-Fi radio off-channel for AWDL (AirDrop, Handoff, Sidecar) about once a second, which shows up as 50 to 100 ms ping spikes; the window has a built-in jitter test that pings for ten seconds and says in plain words whether your connection is clean, congested, or showing exactly that once-a-second AWDL signature. - AWDL pause. The fix, session-scoped and no daemon: a toggle keeps AWDL off while Keepresso runs, restoring everything (AirDrop, Handoff, Sidecar, Continuity Camera) the moment you turn it off or quit, even after a crash. Your password is needed once per launch; after that the switch is instant. An optional automatic mode pauses AWDL while a game is keeping the Mac awake and resumes it when you stop playing. - Radio hygiene checks. The same window checks your setup: wired network available (the most reliable fix), Wi-Fi channel alignment with AWDL's social channels (149 in the US, 44 most elsewhere, at 80 MHz) with a warning on 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth sharing the radio, plus plain-language notes on Game Mode (it turns on by itself when a game runs full screen) and cloud gaming in the browser (Xbox Cloud Gaming has no app to detect; the Audio playing condition covers it). No permission prompts anywhere on this screen. - Cloud Gaming and Remote Control presets. Cloud Gaming pairs the gaming condition with the GeForce NOW and Boosteroid apps so queueing and downloads keep the session alive. Remote Control stays awake while you're actively driving another machine over TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or Parsec, deliberately only while the app is in front, so a host idling in the background never pins your Mac awake. - Tidier condition menu. Adding a trigger condition is now three grouped menus (Power & Display, Network & Devices, Apps & Activity) instead of one long scrolling list.

- Desktop widgets. Keepresso on the desktop (and in Notification Center), in the brand's caramel-on-roast look with the real cup mark. The small widget is a one-tap toggle: the cup fills and steams while brewing, with a live countdown for timed sessions. The medium widget adds Start/Stop and Pause/Resume Triggers buttons next to the status. Widgets work on macOS 14 and later; the buttons drive the running menu-bar app. - Control Center toggle (macOS 26). A Keep Awake control for Control Center, wearing the brand cup as a custom symbol. Flipping it starts or stops the session, launching Keepresso first if it isn't running. - Bluetooth device trigger. Stay awake while a chosen paired device (headphones, a keyboard, a controller) is connected; the condition menu lists your paired devices. A 30 second release grace rides out the brief drop when a device hops between hosts. Uses the system Bluetooth permission; the Setup screen warns if a saved rule lacks it. - Calendar trigger. Stay awake while a calendar event is in progress, covering scheduled sessions the camera/mic conditions can't see. All-day events never count (a birthday shouldn't keep the Mac up for 24 hours). Needs full calendar access, requested with one click from the condition menu. - Restore default presets. Deleted a built-in preset? The preset menu's new "Restore default presets" brings back the missing ones, leaving your own and renamed presets untouched.

- Camera and microphone triggers, with a Meetings preset. Stay awake while anything is using the camera or the mic: the same device state that drives the menu bar's green dot, read without ever touching the stream, so there is no permission prompt. One rule covers every meeting app at once, including calls running in a browser tab that app rules can't see. A new built-in Meetings preset (camera or mic) sets it up in one click. - Audio-playing trigger. Stay awake while sound is playing: music, a video, a podcast. A 30 second release grace rides out track gaps and brief pauses so the session doesn't flap. - VPN trigger. Stay awake while a VPN is connected, covering profile VPNs (IKEv2, L2TP) and Network Extension tunnels (WireGuard, Tailscale, OpenVPN Connect, corporate clients). - Activity pane: why is my Mac awake? Preferences ▸ Activity shows every app's live power assertions (the readable version of pmset -g assertions), so you can see exactly what's preventing sleep, whoever's doing it, plus a decision log of why each Keepresso session started or stopped: which trigger, a timer expiring, the battery pause, or a manual or scripted command. - Brand cup in the menu bar. The menu bar icon is now the actual brand mark (espresso cup with the crema stripe, handle, saucer, and steam), drawn as a crisp template image: filled with steam while brewing, an outline while idle. The dropdown header uses the same cup, so the mark matches from the bar to the app icon. The stock SF Symbol cup (and its shimmer, the one animation the snapshotted label allowed) is gone. - Readable glass on any wallpaper. The menu panel and the glass windows (Preferences, Setup, About) now layer a subtle blur-and-tint plate under their content, so text stays sharp over very dark or busy desktops while the surfaces still read as Liquid Glass.

- Shortcuts actions. Keepresso now shows up in the Shortcuts app (and Spotlight/Siri) with Start Keeping Awake (optionally for N minutes), Stop Keeping Awake, and Toggle Keep Awake, no URL scheme fiddling required. They behave exactly like keepresso:// commands, pausing triggers first so the action sticks. - Any duration, or until a time. The menu's duration control now takes a custom duration (hours and minutes) alongside the presets, and "Until a Time" starts a session that ends at a wall-clock time, later today or tomorrow if it already passed. Scripts get the same power with keepresso://start?until=18:00. - Schedule trigger. A new condition type: a daily time window on the days you choose, like weekdays 9:00-18:00 or an overnight 22:00-6:00 that runs past midnight. Add it from the condition menu (Work hours and Overnight starting points included) and tune the times and days in place. - CPU-load trigger. Stay awake while the machine is actually working: a condition that holds while smoothed overall CPU usage sits above a chosen threshold (25/50/75/90%). Long builds, renders, and training runs keep the Mac up; a momentary spike doesn't, and usage hovering at the threshold doesn't flap the session on and off. - Volume trigger. Stay awake while a chosen external drive, SD card, or network share is mounted; the condition menu lists what's mounted right now. Pairs naturally with disk keep-alive: one holds the Mac awake while the drive is there, the other keeps the drive spinning. - Three new built-in presets. Remote Session (SSH) keeps the Mac awake only while someone is actually connected over SSH (not while the idle listener runs), Backup Running holds it through an in-flight Time Machine backup, and Media Render covers ffmpeg jobs. Existing users get the new presets once; deleted presets stay deleted. - Coffee redesign. The app now matches the website's coffee palette: a caramel accent (warm amber in dark mode) replaces the old periwinkle across the menu, Preferences, Setup, and About, and the app icon is redrawn as the brand mark, an espresso cup with a crema stripe and steam, on a crema squircle (deep roast in dark mode). The menu header shows the cup with gently rising animated steam while brewing, plus a faint warm glow behind the glass; the steam holds still with Reduce Motion on. The liquid-glass surfaces are unchanged. - Closed-display mode works right after launch. The lid-close display sleep used to stay inert until the menu was opened once, because the mode's on/off state was only read when UI appeared. It's now read at launch, so a Mac that reboots with the mode on sleeps the panel when the lid closes. - Turning triggers off now stops the session, matching Pause Triggers, instead of silently converting a trigger-held session into a manual one with a leftover duration. - keepresso:// commands now stick when triggers are on. They pause triggers first (the same temporary pause as the menu button); before, the trigger engine would override the command within a second, making scripts silently do nothing. keepresso://toggle also starts with your saved default duration now, instead of always indefinite after a relaunch. - The panel sleeps when the external display is unplugged with the lid closed. Closed-display mode only reacted to the lid closing; unplugging the monitor from a closed clamshell left the internal panel lit inside the lid. Both edges now put the display to sleep. - Smarter first-launch install. Launching from a DMG now replaces an older installed copy instead of silently launching it (so you actually get the version you downloaded), and if the installed copy is already running it's brought forward instead of starting a duplicate second instance. - Editing one trigger no longer resets the others. Rebuilding the trigger engine used to discard every condition's state, so editing an unrelated rule (or pausing and resuming) cut short an app rule's in-flight grace period, dropping the session instantly. Unchanged rules now keep their live state across edits. - The Headless Setup tip now points at MyAgens.

- Pause Triggers. A one-click "Pause Triggers" / "Resume Triggers" button in the menu bar, for when you want to stop brewing without going into Preferences and turning the whole trigger system off. Pausing stops the session immediately and hands control to the manual toggle; resuming hands it back to your conditions. It's a temporary, in-memory switch: quitting and relaunching Keepresso always comes back active, unpaused. - The screen actually turns off with the lid closed. Closed-display mode used to keep the Mac running with the lid shut, but the internal panel stayed lit inside the closed lid. Keepresso now detects the lid closing and puts the display itself to sleep (unless an external display is attached), so it's not wasting battery or trapping heat against a closed screen. The display wakes normally the instant you open the lid. - Cleaner menu bar. Reworked button styling so the one action that matters (Pause/Resume Triggers) stands out, and navigation items (Preferences, Headless Setup, About, Check for Updates, Quit) read as quiet menu rows instead of competing boxed buttons. Minor copy fixes to some captions.

- Fixed a crash in the headless-readiness Setup screen. - Corrected stale distribution docs.

- Battery-aware auto-pause. Let the Mac sleep once charge drops below a threshold you choose, even mid-session, so it never runs the battery flat. - Menu-bar countdown. An optional live countdown next to the cup icon for timed sessions. - URL scheme. Drive a session from Shortcuts, Raycast, Alfred, or a shell script with keepresso://start?duration=60, stop, or toggle. - Presets. Apply a named trigger bundle in one click, built-in (AI Agent, On AC Power, External Display Connected) or your own saved rule sets.

Initial public release. - Keep system sleep and/or display sleep at bay, indefinitely or for a timed session, with an "allow the screen saver after N minutes idle" yield. - Trigger engine: stay awake only while charging or on battery, an external display is connected, you're on a chosen Wi-Fi network, or a specific app is running (any/all combine logic). - Auto app detection with a grace period, reminders for a forgotten session, disk keep-alive, closed-display mode (keep running with the lid shut, no external display), and a headless Setup checklist. - Signed, notarized, self-updating via Sparkle; distributed as a DMG on GitHub Releases and via Homebrew Cask.
