    • Make the entire Performance category card clickable, including padding and empty space.

    • Expose selected cards and stable category names to accessibility tools.

    Validation: the test suite passes and the signed preview launches. Automated live click verification was unavailable in this session.

    puter v1.6.1 Stable

    soconnor released this 2026-09-24 16:40:29 +00:00 | 3 commits to main since this release

    puter 1.6.1

    • Fix the misleading “Signed installation required” status when the bundled fan helper has not been registered with macOS.
    • Add Enable Helper and Repair Registration actions for missing registrations, plus actionable error details when registration fails.
    • Preserve macOS approval requirements and the helper’s existing security checks. No privileged installation or fan changes happen automatically.

    Validation: 63 tests pass, and the registration controls were checked in the signed preview. Privileged helper installation and fan control have not been verified end-to-end.

    puter v1.6.0 Stable

    soconnor released this 2026-09-24 16:28:54 +00:00 | 5 commits to main since this release

    puter 1.6.0

    • Battery charge and power history in Energy & Sleep, with 15-minute, 1-hour, and 6-hour views.
    • Time-windowed app CPU usage and average memory, grouped by app. History is session-only and shows observed coverage, not estimated per-app battery drain.
    • Automatic lightweight battery history while puter is in the menu bar, including icon-only mode with all windows closed. Recording respects sleep and paused updates.
    • Right-click or Control-click the menu-bar item to quit puter.
    • Keep puter visible in the Dock while a window is open or minimized; menu-bar-only mode hides it after the last window closes.
    • Center the empty battery-history icon and text.

    Known limitation: the fan-helper registration screen can incorrectly report “Signed installation required” for a signed build; this release does not fix that flow.

    Distribution

    Apple Silicon build for macOS 14 or later. Liquid Glass styling requires macOS 26 or later.
