    Matcha gains Apple notarization, scheduled sessions, automation integrations, and more controls for keeping your Mac awake.

    • The app is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized, avoiding unidentified-developer dialogs and manual quarantine removal.
    • Adds a command palette (⌃⌥⌘K), schedules, saved templates, idle auto-stop, and optional network and clamshell guards.
    • Adds App Intents and Shortcuts, an xbar/BitBar plugin, post-session sound or sleep actions, and menu-bar icon styles.
    • Adds a custom agent manager, JSON/CSV session-history exports, completion webhooks, tabbed settings, and elapsed-time displays.
    • Hides the custom duration field when a preset (2h, 4h, ∞) is selected.

  2. 1.4.0

    OpenNavo editorial Added to Homebrew

    Matcha adds a visual timer, app watching, local usage statistics, and expanded command-line controls.

    • Adds a tea-fill ring with steam, detection for 43+ coding tools, a Settings window (⌘,), and local daily and all-time usage statistics.
    • Keeps the Mac awake while a watched app runs and accepts an end time such as until 6pm.
    • Adds an in-app updater that checks at launch and daily, installs and restarts while preserving the session, and lets you add custom agents.
    • Expands the CLI with duration inputs, matcha run -- <cmd>, matcha watch, JSON status, and version output; adds matcha:// URLs and AppleScript support.
    • Refines active and idle colors, the floating badge and quick menu; adds an animation setting that honors Reduce Motion, disables tips by default, and refreshes text and screenshots.
