Sleep Aid Changelog

What's new in Sleep Aid 1.3

Aug 10, 2023
  • Launch Sleep Aid on Login to Mac
  • Delay Background Tasks can reduce wakeups on M1 (not M1 Pro or M1 Max) without causing Mac to then wake excessively.
  • New layout of preventing sleep apps, allows more apps to be listed at one time.
  • New Error Reporter.
  • A "Use newer Sleep Tracker" checkbox to the "Sleep History" section of the preferences. This new tracker appears to be more reliable, but it's still in testing.
  • Re-written Quick Sleep Check in the status item window, now much faster.
  • Re-written Sleep Check window to use newer more optimized preventing sleep checker.
  • Re-written animation wrapper, reducing chances of error dialogs crashing for some.
  • Now only asks if you really want to Quit Sleep Aid when selecting Quit from the file menu, this should help reduce sleep aid thinking it crashed because the macOS forced it to quit while it was waiting customer input.
  • Made a change that will hopefully help reduce the crashes when checking to see if Sleep Aid is set to launch on login.
  • Improved the ordinal day handling in the calendar for date formats that show the year before the day.
  • Now has a built-in customer initiated logging mode to try to capture more information for some of the harder to track down errors.
  • Fixed a regression on Mac OS X 10.13.6.
  • Fixed a crash with the status item on macOS 12.6.5.
  • Working on a crash when ending sleep tracking for some customers.
  • Fixed a bug from the Sleep Status window that would open the old Sleep Check.
  • Fixed a weird visual glitch with the Preferences window, when it may flicker before showing.
  • Now uses Apple Script for controlling login items on OSes lower than Ventura.
