Changelog

1.0.0 — July 13, 2026 · Initial public release

The first release. A menu bar utility that holds your Mac awake — no idle sleep, no display sleep, no screen saver — for exactly as long as you ask.

• Menu bar utility — click the icon, pick a duration, and Wakr holds the same power-management assertions caffeinate uses to keep your Mac from sleeping. No dock icon, no window
• Duration presets — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, or indefinitely until you turn it off or quit
• State at a glance — one glyph tells you the state: an open eye while a session is active, a crescent moon once your Mac is free to sleep again
• Live countdown — timed sessions show a running countdown right next to the icon
• Launch at Login — a toggle to have Wakr ready in your menu bar every time you start your Mac
• Native NSMenu throughout — the whole app is VoiceOver-accessible with no extra work; the status item also carries an explicit accessibility label (e.g. "Wakr: Awake — 12:34 remaining"), since the eye/moon glyph itself has no text for a screen reader to read
• Private by design — no network code at all. Nothing is uploaded, no account, no telemetry
• Signed and notarized by Apple — macOS 12+, Apple Silicon & Intel
• Free for personal use forever — every duration, no account, no trial, no watermarks; optional one-time $5-per-computer business license for commercial use
