Changelog

v3.0 · a major refresh for macOS Tahoe

Redesigned menu, smarter sleep timing, recurring schedules, and a polished settings experience.

Recurring schedules

Define schedules like "every weeknight at 23:00, 60 min timer" and Sleepr starts the matching timer automatically. Guided 3-step flow, quick-select for Weekdays / Weekends / Every day, live plain-language summary, and a swipe-free toggle/edit/delete.

Floating end-of-timer alert

A HUD-style alert floats over fullscreen apps a few minutes before the timer ends, with extend / cancel buttons and a live remaining-time readout. Configurable lead time (1–10 min) and extension duration (1–120 min).

Persistent timer across restarts

Running timers survive app quits and system reboots: the absolute target time is restored on relaunch.

Media-aware suggestion

When something is playing in Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, or any media app, Sleepr offers a one-tap "sleep when this finishes" preset. Uses the mediaremote-adapter bridge to work around macOS 15.4's Now Playing API restriction.

Menu bar progress animation

Three styles you can pick from in Settings: Depleting Ring, Filling Moon, Shrinking Pie. Independent toggle from the text countdown, use either, both, or neither. Option to hide the icon while the timer runs.

Shortcuts.app & Siri (App Intents)

• Start Sleep Timer (duration in minutes)
• Start Sleep Timer at Time (specific clock time)
• Stop Sleep Timer
• Get Sleep Timer Status

Liquid Glass redesign

Complete UI refresh for macOS Tahoe. Control Center–style menu panel, refreshed preset buttons, dedicated active-timer view with large countdown + progress bar + cancel. Right-click also opens the menu.

Customizable preset timers

Each of the four presets is editable from 1 to 480 minutes in the new Timers tab in Settings, with a Reset to Default option.

Settings polish

Chromeless window: transparent titlebar, segmented text-only tab bar, native rounded corners, close button only. Esc closes the window. Re-clicking the Settings menu entry brings the window forward even when it's behind another app. Four panes: General, Timers, Alerts, About.

Localization

Full localization in 11 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.
