Switchman 1.7.0
Switchman is redrawn. The settings window, the picker and the ring are one design now — a line, the track it runs on, and the lamps beside it. Nothing you set has changed.
- A redrawn settings window. One ground across all five pages, a navigation track down the left whose current page is a lit signal, and cards whose rows meet at a hairline. The home page answers one question first — whether Switchman is doing useful work — with the day's count and one sentence, in place of the animated diagram that said it three ways.
- A redrawn picker. The browsers come first, because the panel grows out of the pointer and whatever is on top is what the pointer is already on; the address sits underneath as context. The first screen is nine rows, and All apps scrolls the rest inside the panel rather than growing it past the edge of the screen.
- A redrawn ring. Solid islands instead of glass, every browser showing its own shortcut number, and a stage that no longer covers the page it floats over.
- The ring stayed clickable. It could open with nothing listening for the mouse — it appeared, and clicking a browser did nothing. It took hours of uptime and a second link arriving at the wrong moment, which is why it was hard to pin down.
- Last synced means something. It used to reset every time you opened the window, so it always read "just now". It now moves only when your settings actually travel between Macs, and says Up to date when they already agree.
- Pro badges no longer appear once you own Pro.
Safety warnings and basic routing remain free. Requires macOS 13 or later.
