1.0 April 2026

Initial release. A calm desktop companion that lives in the menu bar.

  • Three modes: Standard, Ambience, and Focus — switch from the menu bar at any time.
  • Focus surface: Blur, dim, or a custom wallpaper behind the frontmost app.
  • Ambience: Hide desktop icons with blur or dim and optionally replace your wallpaper with a calm gradient or still image.
  • Hold to Reveal: Hold Option — or a modifier of your choice — to briefly peek through.
  • Shake to Toggle: A small mouse shake toggles the veil on or off, hands-free.
  • Multi-display: Apply the calm to one screen or all of them.
  • Live Gradient: Optional slowly drifting gradient for movement in the background.
  • Localization: Ships with 35 languages out of the box.
  • Menu-bar home: No dock icon, no window to manage. The active mode is visible at a glance.
  • Privacy: No analytics, no tracking. Everything stays local to your Mac.
