v2.0.0 🎉 Mac App Store, notch integration, sleeker UI, performance improvements and more

[martinfekete10]

This is a big release that adds a lot of new features, such as notch integration, new mini player, sleeker UI and contains a lot of bug fixes and performance improvements.

Most importantly, Tuneful is now available on Mac App Store and all updates are going to be delivered through Mac App Store  Don't hesitate to leave a review if you are enjoying Tuneful 🎶

✨ New Features

• New notch integration now allows you to control the music from notch. For non-notch Macs, this is available on hovering over new song notification
• New ability to resize mini player to 3 sizes - regular, small, and large
• New music slider which now looks and feels native
• New popover and mini player background type
• New UI animations so the app feels more fluid
• New vertical mini player type
• New enhanced onboarding experience

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the bug when Spotify was opened in the background even if killed by the user
• Fixed the bug when mini player floating preference was ignored on app restart
• Fixed the bug when Tuneful wasn't fetching Apple Music song favorite info correctly when changing songs
• Fixed the bug when previous song button didn't rewind the song to the beginning if some part already played for Apple Music
• Fixed bug when Cmd + comma shortcut opened blank window; now it opens settings window

🏎️ Performance Improvements

• Refactored the logic that fetches song information which makes the app feel snappier
• Tuneful uses fewer calls when customising UI in the Tuneful settings and relies more on native SwiftUI

Really cool, congratulations on the release! 🙌🏼
You should add options to tip you in the App ;)

[martinfekete10]

Thank you! The tip button is actually there, but quite hidden 😄 There is a Support item when right clicking menu bar item that links to my Ko-Fi page

Can you also have a feature for the dmg file in the releases?

[martinfekete10]

I was considering this but it would require maintaining 2 versions of Tuneful - one that can be updated via App Store and one outside of App Store. I decided to have only one source of truth - less overhead and I can focus on actual app development more than on infrastructure

Does this also affect the Homebrew distribution (#47), as I don't see the update there yet?

[martinfekete10]

Yes, Homebrew used GitHub releases in the background which are now replaced by App Store
