Release Notes

What changed in each version of SideGlass, newest first.

SideGlass 1.2

October 8, 2026

Localhost (Pro): A new module lists every server running on your Mac, such as “npm run dev”, Vite, Next.js, Django or Rails. Restart, stop and start again with a click; a restart runs the original command in the same folder. A click on a server shows its network address, folder, Git branch, command, memory and CPU.
Add reminders: Write new reminders right in the card. Phrases like “tomorrow 9am” or “Friday” become the due date; without one, the reminder is due today.
Straight to the app: A small link at the bottom of the cards opens the matching app, such as Calendar, Reminders, Contacts or Weather. Turn it off under Settings › Appearance.
Over full-screen apps: If you like, SideGlass stays visible over apps in full screen.
A colour for today: In the month calendar, today's circle and weekday take a colour of their own.

Liquid Glass: The tint's strength is adjustable, and next to the swatches a colour picker offers any colour.
Week numbers: A fine line separates the week numbers from the days, and can be turned off. In English they now read “CW”.
Lists: With a tall rail, Todoist, Contacts and Calendar use the card's full height.

Liquid Glass: The glass is clear right away instead of milky until the first click.
Apple Music: Clicking a track under Up Next plays it.
Shelf: The drop area fills the whole card, even with many modules in the rail.
Assistant: The trash button in the history no longer disappears under the pointer.

Liquid Glass: Under Settings › Appearance › Glass you now choose the material. Liquid Glass is the Dock's glass (macOS 26 and later), in a regular or clear style and with an optional tint. Frosted glass keeps its five strengths.
Spotify in Basic: Spotify is now part of Basic, right next to Apple Music.
Colours in the month calendar: The weekend sits as a coloured band behind Saturday and Sunday. Week numbers, weekdays and dates each take a colour of their own.

Calendar: Week numbers keep some distance from Monday and line up with the dates. The card grows to at most 70 % of the screen's height; beyond that, the events scroll.
Contacts: The card opens faster, with the pictures already loaded.
Colour dots: When the dots sit close together, their neighbours make room as soon as an icon grows.
Rail at the top: The same glass as on the left and right, without a second shade along the bottom.
Sorting modules: The icon no longer appears twice while dragging.

Keyboard shortcuts in text fields: ⌘V, ⌘C, ⌘X and ⌘A work again, for example for the licence key.

October 6, 2026

Permissions in setup and settings: After macOS asks for access, for example to Notes or Reminders, the window comes back to the front instead of staying hidden behind other windows.
Stability: Drawing the menu bar icon and loading reminders are safe against calls from other threads.

October 6, 2026

Modules in alphabetical order: In the setup and under Settings › Subscription, each plan lists its modules alphabetically, in the app's language.
New suggestions: On a new installation, the setup suggests Calendar, Reminders, Apple Music and Weather.

October 6, 2026

The first version of SideGlass: a slim rail at the edge of your screen. Move your mouse over it, and what matters opens as a card.

Left, right or top: The rail sits at one edge of your screen, as icons or as slim coloured dots. Hovering opens a card, a click pins it, Escape closes it.
Live in the icon: The cover of what's playing, your next event, a running build or a busy agent show right in the rail.
Your way: Order, colours, spacing, hover delay, haptic feedback, and no menu bar icon if you like. In English and German.

Your day: Calendar as an agenda or a month (with week numbers, weekends and Microsoft 365 accounts), Reminders, Contacts with birthdays, Notes, Weather, Clock with world times, Batteries and Calculator.
Your services: Apple Music and Spotify, Todoist, Bear, RSS, Stocks, the system monitor, a shelf for files and an assistant using Apple's on-device model.
For developers: A terminal with Claude Code and Codex and their status, GitHub with pull requests and comments, and Xcode Cloud with running and recent builds.

14 days with every module, no account and no payment details. Then Basic, Plus or Pro, monthly or yearly through Lemon Squeezy.
Your data stays on your Mac: SideGlass only talks to the services you turn on. Access keys live in your keychain.
Automatic updates: SideGlass checks for new versions by itself. After an update, the menu leads to these release notes once.
