Release notes
Every version of Awning that has reached the App Store, and what changed in it.
-
1.1
It edits, it finds, and it tells you before a meeting starts.
- Change an event without opening Calendar
- Click an event and press ⌘E, or right-click any row. Move it, rename it, change the location, the notes or the alert. A repeating event asks whether you mean this occurrence or every one after it. Anything Awning cannot change safely — a repeat rule more complicated than its presets, an alarm you set elsewhere — it shows you and leaves alone, rather than quietly discarding it on save.
- Search, with the month still above the results
- ⌥⌘S from anywhere, or ⌘F with the panel open. It looks through titles, locations, notes and calendar names, nearest first. The grid stays where it is, because “when is that thing?” is a question about a date and a list of hits that does not show you when is only half an answer. A weekly standup is one row, not a hundred.
- A warning before a meeting starts
- A notification a few minutes ahead with the Join button in it, at a lead time you set. There is no new permission prompt — it arrives quietly in Notification Centre and you promote it if you want it louder — and it respects Focus, because that is macOS’s decision rather than this app’s. For meetings people genuinely miss there is an opt-in full-screen alert, off by default.
- The panel is as tall as your day
- The divider now sets a ceiling rather than a height. An empty day is short, a busy one grows to the most room you said you would give it, and never past it. Awning still remembers that per display.
- Two-month view is gone
- Worth saying plainly rather than leaving you to find out. It never really fitted: the second month needed more height than the panel would give it, so its last week was cut off on every Mac for the whole of 1.0 — in the App Store screenshot included. The height change above is the repair, and a full month with a crowded day under it now fits where it did not before.
- The other links in an invitation
- Awning already dug the video link out of an event. The agenda doc, the brief and the pull request are usually in the same notes, and it walked straight past them. They now sit alongside the Join button.
-
1.0.1
Three fixes, one of which was showing you the wrong calendar.
- Turning every calendar off now shows no events
- It was showing all of them — the opposite of what you asked for. So was a selection whose calendars had been deleted and re-added, because that gives them a new identity and Awning no longer recognised the old one. Settings now tells you when that has happened, and which calendars it was.
- The countdown follows the clock, not the day you were looking at
- The menu bar ring and “Join next meeting” stopped working once you browsed to another day and closed the panel, and did not come back until the next launch. They now always mean today.
- The bottom of Settings is reachable
- Two settings and the version number were cut off with no way to scroll to them. Settings also shows the build number now, which is the thing worth quoting in a bug report.
-
1.0
The first release.
- Your month and your day, in the menu bar
- A month grid with today’s events beneath it. Drag the divider between them for a single week or a full month, and Awning remembers how much room you gave it for each display separately.
- One click into the meeting
- Awning finds the video link in an event’s URL field, its location or its notes, and puts a Join button on the row. Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex, or whatever the invitation actually points at.
- A countdown you can see without looking
- The menu bar icon draws a ring that drains over the ten minutes before your next meeting. It holds the same width the whole time, so nothing else in your menu bar moves.
- Type an event the way you would say it
- “Lunch with Dana Friday 1pm at Tartine” becomes an event, with the place looked up as you type. Repeats and alerts are there too, and so is deleting.
- Nowhere for your data to go
- No analytics, no accounts, no server. We ship no crash reporter. The only time Awning touches the network is while you are typing a location, when it asks Apple’s map service for matches.
Awning needs macOS 26 or later. Updates arrive through the App Store like any other app.
