This update brings your breaks to your iPhone's lock screen: - Breaks synced to your paired iPhone now appear as a Live Activity on its Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with the break's name and icon and a live countdown - Picking break types for iPhone notifications and automations is now a row of toggles instead of a menu that closed after every selection - Fixed custom breaks being labeled "Short break" in a few places - Fixed the menu bar menu responding slowly to hovers when opened over the Quick Look panel Enjoy the update!

This update makes LookAway fully accessible -- VoiceOver, complete keyboard navigation, and every macOS accessibility setting are now supported across the app -- and adds a fairer scoring rule for skipped breaks: - LookAway now works end-to-end with VoiceOver: every control is properly labeled, break screens announce themselves, and moments like a break ending or the screen about to lock are announced - Added keyboard support throughout the app - Reduced Motion is now respected everywhere - Increase Contrast and Differentiate Without Color are also respected: text on animated backgrounds becomes easier to read, and selections gain checkmarks so color is never the only cue - Skipping a break no longer counts against your score if you take a full break within 5 minutes of the skip - Reduced the discrepancy between your total screen time and per-app usage breakdown totals - Fixed the score in the menu bar lagging one update behind - Fixed the timer occasionally getting stuck on "Dragging" after the mouse was released - Fixed the Remove button in the break message editor being able to delete a message from the wrong list - Fixed plugging in a display or waking mid-break restarting the auto-lock countdown Enjoy the update!

This update redesigns how LookAway handles natural breaks, adds on-demand breaks, brings three new animated break backgrounds, and includes a big round of performance and reliability fixes: - Stepping away from your Mac no longer triggers a blocking dialog when you return. LookAway now quietly makes the right call on its own and shows a brief toast with an undo option -- and if it's obvious you never left, it stays completely silent. - Added a new menu bar option where you can see how your last away time was handled and fix it if LookAway got it wrong. - Advance skipping is back: skip an upcoming break ahead of time, with a configurable daily limit. - You can now start a break whenever you want, at any length you want. Access it from the menu bar, keyboard shortcut, or AppleScript. - Added three new animated break backgrounds: Slipstream, Fireflies, and Topography. - The menu bar options have been reorganized, making it easier to find common actions. - Planned breaks you miss are now marked as ignored instead of counting as skipped. - Fixed the app freezing (spinning beachball) when a browser was slow to respond during website checks. - Significantly reduced CPU usage while LookAway sits idle in the background, for better battery life. - Fixed the idle pause silently not working while a planned break was coming up. - Fixed office hours occasionally turning back on right after being stopped. - Fixed hearing two chimes when a planned break came due at the same time as a reminder. - Fixed notification toasts sometimes appearing in the middle of the screen. - Fixed FaceTime calls showing up as "avconferenced" in Smart Pause.
