]]>Boy van AmstelDanger Cove apps work flawlessly with first macOS Big Sur beta2020-06-26T00:00:00+00:002020-06-26T00:00:00+00:00https://www.dangercove.com/news/apps-work-on-big-sur-betaAfter trying Timeless, Denied, Carbonize, Relax and Pipvid with the first macOS 11 beta, I’ve discovered they’re all working fine!

New releases tend to introduce (security) features that I need to comply with, but the first beta at least seems to be fully compatible. 👍

A screenshot of every app running macOS 11 Big Sur beta 1

Here’s a screenshot of the apps running on the new OS. Notice the huge change in design.

I stick to default UI elements for most of my apps in anticipation of an event like this; every app immediately looks right at home with the new look. Apart for Denied, which could use with some rounded corners. 😅

]]>Boy van AmstelToggle Picture-in-Picture with a keyboard shortcut2020-04-24T00:00:00+00:002020-04-24T00:00:00+00:00https://www.dangercove.com/news/pipvid-25A screenshot of Pipvid's new keyboard shortcut setting

Pipvid v2020.2 adds a Global Keyboard Shortcut ⌨️ that allows you to toggle it off and on with the press of a button!

This makes is very easy to switch VLC and QuickTime in and out of PiP-mode. It litteraly takes less than a second.

It’s not as sophisticated or innovative as the resize trigger, but it’s so convenient. It’s made me use Pipvid even more. 👌

You can get Pipvid on Gumroad!

I’ve expanded a feature in Relax! Instead of only kicking into action when the default output switches to the built-in speaker, you can now choose to pause Spotify, Music and/or iTunes when the default audio output changes to any sound device. 🥳

This is a great update for when you leave your Mac connected to external speakers, but don’t want to miss a second of your favorite music or podcast when you disconnect your headphones. 🎧

You can get it on the Mac App Store!
