This version adds early reminders, makes the panel quicker to read, and brings every translation in line with Apple's own Reminders wording. · Set an early reminder from a reminder's menu, from 5 minutes to 1 month before, or type it in the line: "Renew passport 3 Oct 1 week early", "Call mom tomorrow 9am 15 min early". The row shows it as a bell. · An early reminder set in Reminders survives a date change made in Perch. Options whose time has already passed are dimmed, as in Reminders. · "every morning" and the other times of day make a daily repeat at that hour, in every language, including "tous les soirs" and "todas las noches". · Australian and British shorthand: "tomoz", "arvo", "sarvo", "a fortnight", "every fortnight", "half past five", "half six", "quarter to five", "5 o'clock", "5ish", "9am sharp", "at lunch", "after work", "by EOD", "first thing", plus Chrissy, Straya Day, Anzac Day and Boxing Day as dates. · Type "/" at the end of the line to see every list as its colored badge, and "/w" for the lists that match. · Picking a language in Settings restarts Perch and brings Settings straight back, in the new language, where it was. · Every translation now uses the words Apple's Reminders uses, and menus read in sentence case outside English. Slovak, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Polish name the early reminder as Reminders does; Danish says "færdig" for completed; Dutch says "verlopen" for overdue. · A reminder's details line puts a dot only before the date. Badges with their own symbol stand on spacing. · Fixes: an early reminder set in Reminders was wiped by any date change made in Perch. The Due Date submenu's day names now start with a capital in every language. "None" agrees with the menu it sits in.
This version of Perch is quicker, speaks eleven languages, in both what you read and in what you type, and makes the overall experience even smoother. · Type reminders in plain words in English, Slovak, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, and Danish. · "morgen um 9 Uhr", "demain à 9h", "imorgon kl 9": dates, times, lists, and repeats work the way each language says them, typos forgiven. · Perch follows your Mac's language, and English always works alongside it. Or pick a language yourself in Settings. · Every menu, message, and setting is translated too. · Open a reminder's link with a click, or press ⇧⌘O. · Move through the list faster: ⌘↑ and ⌘↓ jump to the first and last reminder, Page Up and Page Down move a screenful, and Shift extends the selection along the way. · The menu bar's Icon and Progress style now counts your whole day: "6/10" is six done out of the day's ten, and a finished day reads "10/10". · "Did you mean...?" now asks in amber. Red stays for real problems. · Completing several reminders at once no longer pauses, long lists group faster, and Perch rests while its panel is closed.
Perch 1.2.2 refines the keyboard, reworks Settings in plain words, and keeps your list steadier. · Improved keyboard handling in the list, including ⌫ to delete the selected reminders. · Every setting now explains itself underneath, in plain words, and Panel Size moved to General with the other appearance settings. · Your list stays put, with quiet retries if Reminders is briefly unavailable. It also refreshes when your Mac wakes and when you open the panel. · Unchecking a reminder is quiet: the row simply comes back, with no confirmation. VoiceOver still announces it.
This version of Perch brings a countdown option for day headings and fixes a few things quick entry got wrong. · New setting: Day Headings, set to Date or Countdown. · Extra spaces no longer lose the day: "tuesday 14:00" still means Tuesday. · Short weekdays work where they can only mean the day: "tue 14:00", "every tue", "next wed". · "due friday 17:00" now lands on Friday at 17:00 instead of right now. "until friday" too. · When Today has overdue reminders, the rest sit under their own Today heading.
Thanks for using Perch! This version makes it easier to fix a mistake and to type what you mean. It also runs on macOS 14 Sonoma and later, so it works on a lot more Macs. Typing · You can now edit a reminder by typing, not just create one. Type "tomorrow 9am" or "every week" into a reminder and Perch updates the date or the repeat. It shows you the change before it applies it. · More ways of writing dates work: "everyday", "fortnightly", "tmrw", "tonite". · "at ten" and "at 1000" both mean ten o'clock. A time on its own means today, or tomorrow if that hour has passed. · List names now match without accents, so typing "nakupy" finds your "Nákupy" list. · If a word is nearly right, Perch asks what you meant instead of ignoring it. · Type a few reminders in one go by separating them with semicolons. · Paste a web address into a reminder and Perch turns it into a link you can open. Selecting and undoing · Hold Shift or Command to select more than one reminder, then complete, move, delete or change the priority of all of them at once. · After anything you do, a line in the footer says what happened and offers an Undo button. · Undo takes back a whole batch in one go, and it names the action clearly. · A repeating reminder now appears once, on its next date, instead of appearing many times. Settings · Choose which Reminder lists appear in Perch. · Choose a panel size: small, medium or large. · Adjust how transparent the panel is for better contrast. · Show a counter in the menu bar: "6/10" means six done today out of ten due. · All keyboard shortcuts are now listed in the Settings, with a search box. Plus many small fixes throughout.
Thank you for using Perch! This version is about reaching things faster — dates you can click, a shortcut for every scope, a friendlier first run, and a new language. - Dates. Editing a reminder now shows the date and time as two pills. One opens a calendar, the other a clock. Typing dates into a text field was never the good part. - Deadlines. Right-click a reminder (or press ⌃↩) for Today, Tomorrow, This Weekend, Next Week. Everything lands all-day, so picking "Today" at four in the afternoon doesn't immediately hand you something overdue. That felt rude. - Duplicate. A new menu option that copies the lot: title, notes, date, priority, list. For the things you have to do again. And again. - Shortcuts. Today, Upcoming, All, and No Date each open from anywhere, with ⌃⌥1–4 out of the box. All rebindable in Settings ▸ Shortcuts alongside Open Perch, and anything you'd already set carries over. - Completed. A new setting keeps the last day's finished reminders at the bottom of the panel. - Slovak. The whole interface, and quick entry reads it too: "vysávať každú stredu o 9" gets the repeat and the time. - Settings. Now a real window, with General, Shortcuts, and About tabs. It used to be a popover doing its best. Plus smaller refinements and fixes throughout, including smoother keyboard navigation.
