Mind the Gap Changelog

[1.3.1] - 2026-06-03

Reminders no longer fire late after the computer has been asleep. They now fire as soon as the machine wakes, instead of being delayed by the amount of time spent sleeping.

Screen readers now announce “Reminder added” when a reminder is created
Windows installer warns when run on an unsupported version of Windows (older than Windows 10, version 1809)
Log files now rotate to keep them from growing without bound

Documented minimum system requirements: macOS 14 (Sonoma) and Windows 10, version 1809 (64-bit)
Improved contrast calculations (now using OKLCH) for more legible text on colored backgrounds

Pressing Escape with a modal open now closes the modal instead of hiding the control window
The new reminder modal no longer reopens to a stale time after a long gap. The form resets once its remembered time has lapsed.

Windows and Linux now enforce a single running instance — launching the app again surfaces the existing window instead of starting a second copy
Relaunching the app on macOS or Windows now opens the control window near the tray icon, as a fallback for finding a hidden icon
One-time dismissible banner on Windows explaining that the app lives in the system tray (can be re-enabled from the debug menu)

“Install and Restart” confirmation modal now matches the padding and corner radii of the other modals in the control window
“Install and Restart” now actually relaunches the app on macOS after the update is staged
Minor styling adjustments to modals
Control window now flips above the tray icon when there isn’t enough room below it
Control window stays on-screen when the tray icon is near a monitor edge
Control window corner radii are no longer clipped on Windows when positioned flush with the screen edge
Control window backdrop and CSS corner radii now line up on Windows 11 instead of showing a double-radius seam
Event row corner radii on macOS no longer round up past the window’s inner radius
Grid alignment in the new event time picker

Fixed broken update mechanism. No re-download is required. Older versions of Mind the Gap that were unable to update to 1.1.0 should be able to update to this one.

Snooze vs. offset action mode for the notification window, with an in-window toggle and a default selectable in Notification Preferences
