Every little leap, written down.

Zerre 0.9.0

New

• Choose where Zerre lives: on the desktop, at its desk by the notch, or in the Dock (Settings › Zerre › Lives in).
• In the Dock, Zerre is the app icon and holds up its signs there. Click it to read them; right-click for focus and notes.
• Full-screen apps get the screen to themselves. Only what can't wait peeks in from the edge, with its note beside it.

Improved

• Living by the notch, Zerre stays at its desk all day, meetings included, so the desktop stays clear.

Fixed

• Zerre's head no longer gets cut off during high, repeated jumps.

Zerre 0.8.0

New

• Put on any achievement you've earned, or take one off, from the achievements window. Free spots still fill with this week's traits.
• The notch home is optional (Settings › Home by the notch). Without it, notes go on a little board that pops up beside Zerre.
• Settings has its own pages now, with a small preview of the focus shield on the Focus page.

Improved

• The focus shield really blurs now, with a slider for how much. It covers the menu bar and Dock too.
• When a block starts, the shield spreads out from the window you work in and stays lighter around it.
• The menu bar card is tidier: Achievements, Settings, Feedback, Updates and Quit live in one gear menu.

Fixed

• In full-screen apps, Zerre stands on the bottom of the screen instead of floating where the Dock would be.
• Buttons and labels in the menu bar card no longer cut each other off.

• Keep the notch hop moving off screen, and give the room tap targets
• Put the notch on one pixel grid and add the tomato shelf
• Tell Zerre about Antigravity turns, through its own hooks file
• Stand only on window tops that aren't behind another window
• Let the Zerre be dragged up to the top of the screen
• Trot to the middle of the screen before jumping up to the notch
• Focus sessions: blocks and breaks, a tomato vine, a recap, the shield and the notch
• Spike the focus shield: a blur that blocks clicks outside its holes
• Note that CI archives with an older Xcode than the dev Mac

Zerre 0.5.0

New

• Achievements: every trait Zerre grows stays unlocked in a gallery, with hints for the ones still to find.
• Zerre steps out of sight while your screen is shared or recorded. Turn it off in Settings to film it.

Improved

• Walking and animations use about half the CPU they did, so Zerre is easier on your battery.
• Fresh pixel art for sparkles, hearts, dust, sleepy Zs, the focus timer and thought bubbles.
• The right-click menu no longer shows the Debug submenu.

Zerre 0.1.0

First public release

• A pixel creature that lives on your desktop: naps on the Dock, hops onto windows, chases your cursor
• Grows from what you actually do: a sprout for the days you show up, traits it wears for your habits
• Dozens of pastimes and trait combos, from juggling to fishing off a window's edge
• Works alongside Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode: holds up a note when an agent needs you
• Calm by default: at most three nudges a day, quiet in meetings, focus and at night
• Private: notices that things happen, never what they were, and keeps it all on your Mac
