- There is good news: after a long period of not being able to develop the application any further, I finally have a new beta version ready, which you can test soon.
- The new version runs on macOS 10.13 High Sierra to macOS 11 Big Sur and runs on Intel and Apple Silicon CPU. I added the French and Spanish localisation which certainly needs improvement.
