Aware v1.4.2

New in 1.4.2

• The menu bar UI, welcome window, camera permission text, and sleep-assertion label are now available in Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese (in addition to English), following your Mac’s preferred languages
• Sparkle update release notes can be shown in English, Korean, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese when matching notes are published for a release

Full Changelog: v1.4.1...v1.4.2

Aware v1.4.1

New in 1.4.1

• Screensaver no longer interrupts presence detection — when a face is detected, both the display-sleep and screensaver idle timers are reset each polling tick, so the screensaver only activates when Aware genuinely stops seeing you
• Aware now skips the camera check when another app (e.g. a browser playing a video) is already holding a sleep assertion, and shows "Kept awake by another app" status

Full Changelog: v1.4...v1.4.1

Aware v1.4

New in 1.4

• Pauses presence polling while the display is asleep, then resumes when the display wakes
• Pauses presence polling while the screen saver is active, then resumes afterward
• Cancels any in-flight camera capture immediately when Aware enters a paused state

Notes

• This reissues 1.4 with a newer internal build so Sparkle can distinguish it from the earlier 1.4 build
• Sparkle release notes are now embedded directly from this release body instead of falling back to a bare GitHub changelog link

Full Changelog: v1.3...v1.4

Aware v1.3

New in 1.3

• Added Sparkle 2 based in-app update support for the direct-download build
• Added a Check for Updates... item to the menu bar menu
• Set up Aware's release feed so future versions can be discovered and downloaded from inside the app

Notes

• This update path is aimed at direct-download hobby or private use
• Depending on how the app was downloaded, macOS may still show its normal security prompts for unsigned or non-notarized builds
