New in Intermission 1.2.0 (Jan 22, 2019)
- 你好! Hallo! Привет! We localized the app to Chinese Simplified, German and Russian.
- We tried to make Breaks For Eyes less intrusive with this update. You'll get notifications 20 seconds prior to a break to avoid being caught with a blocked screen half way through a thought. You can also disable these notifications in settings.
- Pressing spacebar should get you back to work now. We did our best to make it work properly but some apps may still 'steal' this keydown event from Breaks For Eyes. Let us know if it's still not working.
New in Intermission 1.1.3 (Jan 10, 2019)
- Fixed a timer double activation issue
New in Intermission 1.1.2 (Jan 10, 2019)
- Have you ever been away from the computer for a couple of minutes, then came back and it popped up with a break? Now, you can select "Just took a break" in the menu bar -- it will reset the timer.
- Bug squashed: streak was incremented multiple times if there are multiple screens.
- Bug squashed: pause until the next day wasn't working correctly. It was waiting up 24 hours, and no one spends 24 out of 24 hours at a computer, right? Now, the pause is reset on midnight.
- Bug squashed: timer was beginning to tick right on the break end screen. So, if you'd went away for a coffee after a break end, it could possibly pop out with a new break after you came back. Now, new timer begins only when hit the "Get Back To Work" button.
