Changelog
View AllRight Mode From Start-UpRight Mode After a Restart. When Solace opens, it now switches your Mac to the right mode straight away, without waiting for macOS to find your location. It uses the last location it saw, which stays private on your Mac and is never shared. More Reliable Switching. If your Mac isn't ready to change modes just after you log in, Solace keeps trying for up to 30 seconds.v1.0.57Oct 13
Right From the StartReady at Startup. Solace now matches your schedule the moment your Mac starts, so a morning start opens in light mode. Your Switch Stays. When you switch modes yourself, Solace keeps your choice until the next sunrise or sunset, even through sleep and restarts. Wallpaper in Step. Your wallpaper now checks itself each time your screen wakes, so it always matches the mode you're in. Smoother Switching. Switching is more dependable right after your Mac wakes, and any switch notice now clears itself once the switch goes through.v1.0.56Oct 5
Smarter Weather MorningsWeather mode now checks today's forecast the moment your morning switch arrives, so clear days start in light on their own.v1.0.55Oct 2
