Nightfall

• Improved keyboard shortcut support. You can now set a keyboard shortcut directly in Nightfall, and it should work more consistently across all apps now. The default is ^⌥⌘T.
  • The old services-based implementation has been removed
• Nightfall is now signed and notarized, so you no longer need to bypass Gatekeeper to run Nightfall.
• Added an indicator to the settings panel if Nightfall lacks screen recording permissions
• Replaced “Preferences” with “Settings” to follow modern macOS conventions

• Nightfall now uses private system APIs for dark mode. Because of this, "Automation" permissions are no longer required to use the app, and the animated transition automatically adjusts its timing to prevent visible flicker.
• You can now hide Nightfall's icon in the menu bar without quitting the app. This is mostly useful if you prefer to use Nightfall through the keyboard shortcut.
• Nightfall has a redesigned icon to match the refreshed style in Big Sur/Monterey
• Nightfall now has an app-specific accent color for Big Sur/Monterey
• Increased frequency of update polling (if enabled)
• Clicking "Requires screen recording permissions" in preferences now opens the relevant System Preferences page

Nightfall's bundle identifier has been changed in this release, so your existing preferences won't be saved.
