Daydreaming
New features, improvements and fixes, newest first. Daydreaming checks for signed updates when you enable automatic updates.
- Aligned Back, Skip Setup, and Continue in the welcome wizard and removed the extra credit captions. - The welcome title now matches the website: "See your old wallpaper in a new light." - Shortened the final setup step and made its text size consistent. - Fixed a launch crash on macOS 26 caused by an unavailable Swift Vision symbol in picture descriptions.
- See “App update available…” in the menu bar when a new version is found. Open it to download and install when you are ready. - Pictures now get a short, automatic description instead of a filename. Descriptions are made locally and do not use AI credit. - Fixed mouse clicks on Crop picture being intercepted by the preview. - Added shorter, separate idea examples for time, location, and Dark Mode. - Made the verified AI connection indicator quieter.
# Daydreaming 0.0.5 A small polish to the menu bar. - Adds an ellipsis to “Open Daydreaming…” in the menu bar menu. Requires macOS 26 or later.
# Daydreaming 0.0.4 A friendlier way to ask for the next feature. - Adds “Ask for a feature…” to the menu bar menu and uses the same name in Help and About. - Gives the request window a colorful header, a more compact layout, and clear explanations beneath the relevant fields. - Extends the About window's gradient into the title bar. - Keeps the menu bar's quiet status and weather information at the bottom. Requires macOS 26 or later.
# Daydreaming 0.0.3 A calmer way to choose where your wallpaper gets its weather. - Keeps the selected weather location on one compact row. Choosing a fixed place opens a separate search popover instead of stacking controls in the sidebar. - Finds towns and cities as you type, and offers your picture's saved location without a long, truncated button. - Closing the chooser without selecting a place keeps your existing location. - Adds an idea example that follows the time of day and weather at your chosen location, from morning light to city lights after sunset, with softer colors in Dark Mode. Requires macOS 26 or later.
# Daydreaming 0.0.2 Your wallpaper can follow macOS Light and Dark Mode. - Switches your running wallpaper when macOS changes appearance. Matching saved wallpapers appear immediately; otherwise Daydreaming makes one within your daily image limit. Paused wallpapers stay unchanged. - Adds the current macOS appearance to the AI context. Try an idea such as “Keep the scene natural in Light Mode, and use softer, darker colors in Dark Mode.” - Choose the weather location on the main screen: your current location, a fixed town or city, or the GPS location saved in your original picture. - Refreshes stale location readings and selects the current forecast hour more accurately, including clearer handling of partly cloudy weather. - Gives the preview a softer shadow and simplifies the idea field and its explanation. Requires macOS 26 or later. New images use your connected image provider and your daily image limit.
# Daydreaming 0.0.1 Our first release: your favorite picture, changing with the day. - Choose a picture and describe how you want it to feel. - Preview the day and crop your original in the same window. - Let your wallpaper follow the time and local weather on your chosen schedule. - Revisit previous pictures and reuse saved variations. - Set a daily image limit and see update progress in the menu bar. - Send a feature prompt to Freek from the Help menu. Daydreaming is free and postcardware. Image creation uses your own OpenAI API account and its credit. Requires macOS 26 or later.
