Danger Cove apps work flawlessly with first macOS Big Sur beta

June 2020

After trying Timeless, Denied, Carbonize, Relax and Pipvid with the first macOS 11 beta, I’ve discovered they’re all working fine!

New releases tend to introduce (security) features that I need to comply with, but the first beta at least seems to be fully compatible. 👍

Here’s a screenshot of the apps running on the new OS. Notice the huge change in design.

I stick to default UI elements for most of my apps in anticipation of an event like this; every app immediately looks right at home with the new look. Apart for Denied, which could use with some rounded corners. 😅

Toggle Picture-in-Picture with a keyboard shortcut

Pipvid v2020.2 adds a Global Keyboard Shortcut ⌨️ that allows you to toggle it off and on with the press of a button!

This makes is very easy to switch VLC and QuickTime in and out of PiP-mode. It litteraly takes less than a second.

It’s not as sophisticated or innovative as the resize trigger, but it’s so convenient. It’s made me use Pipvid even more. 👌

You can get Pipvid on Gumroad!

Always pause music players when switching speakers

I’ve expanded a feature in Relax! Instead of only kicking into action when the default output switches to the built-in speaker, you can now choose to pause Spotify, Music and/or iTunes when the default audio output changes to any sound device. 🥳

This is a great update for when you leave your Mac connected to external speakers, but don’t want to miss a second of your favorite music or podcast when you disconnect your headphones. 🎧

You can get it on the Mac App Store!
