Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented here.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

1.1.0 — 2026-07-30

Added

  • Complete English, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese localizations for the app and widgets, with an in-app language picker under General Settings.
  • A built-in clean uninstall flow that removes Mectrics, its preferences, alert rules, local history, and caches without requiring administrator access.

Changed

  • Diagnostics and system-summary exports now follow the selected app language.
  • Technical translations use the terminology found in each language's macOS interface, including Activity Monitor, System Settings, battery, memory, disk, and network labels.
  • Translation contributor guidance now covers both String Catalogs and the language picker.

Fixed

  • The manual uninstall script now removes the Sparkle cache.
  • Failed login-item changes are reported to the uninstall flow instead of being ignored.

1.0.0 — 2026-07-30

The first release. Distributed as a signed and notarized DMG.

Measured on the reference Mac, a Release build holds steady at 25 MB of memory with roughly one idle wake per second.

Added

  • Menu bar modules — CPU, Memory, Battery, Network, Disk, GPU, Temperature (SMC), Fans (SMC), and Bluetooth, each drawn as a readable value, with live sparklines for CPU, Memory, and GPU. Unavailable hardware hides its module; a missing reading renders as a dash rather than a fabricated zero.
  • Fixed-width status items — every component reserves a worst-case width and right-aligns monospaced digits, so values change without the menu bar shifting.
  • Detail popovers with per-module breakdowns, top processes, and contextual actions.
  • Compact Health — an optional single status item that summarizes the machine and surfaces only what needs attention.
  • Alert rules — sustained-threshold notifications with live previews and test delivery.
  • Attention Log — a local, exportable record of what tripped and when.
  • Energy Guard — normal / reduced / protected sampling driven by power source, Low Power Mode, and thermal pressure.
  • Menu bar builder — a visual layout editor with presets and live preview chips.
  • WidgetKit widgets in small, medium, and large sizes, fed through an App Group snapshot.
  • Diagnostics — a local-only system summary that can be copied or exported as plain text.
  • Three-step onboarding, accent themes, and launch-at-login via SMAppService.
  • MetricsKit — a UI-independent SwiftPM engine (providers, adaptive scheduler, pre-allocated ring buffer store) with a mectrics-cli terminal readout.
  • Internationalization — English base strings extracted into a String Catalog; adding a language requires no code change.

Security

  • Release builds use Hardened Runtime, a Developer ID signature, and notarization.
  • Automatic update checks are disabled; the Sparkle appcast is fetched only on an explicit Check for Updates… and verified against a pinned EdDSA public key.
