Click the square in Focus Deck to play or pause. On first use, allow Focus Deck to control Spotify when macOS asks. Hover over the cover for the artist, track, and upper-right next-track button.

Add Google or Outlook accounts to Apple Calendar through macOS Internet Accounts first. The next event appears 10 minutes before it starts by default, adjustable from 1 to 120 minutes. It is dim until the last minute, then white with a border. A live countdown shows the time remaining. All-day, cancelled, and declined events are skipped. Events are read locally and are never changed by Focus Deck. UPDATING Quit Focus Deck, then replace the previous app in Applications. Existing tasks and settings are kept. See CHANGELOG.md for this release. ON YOUR DESK Move and resize the window wherever it helps. You can keep it on top in Settings. Control-Option-Right moves it to the next display. Command-comma opens Settings for wallpaper, text size, and window options. YOUR DATA Each installation starts fresh. No account, tasks, token, or settings from the publisher's Mac are included. Your Todoist token stays in your macOS Keychain. Your focus and settings are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/FocusDeck. The app contacts Todoist when you use or sync tasks, and downloads cover art from the URL Spotify supplies. Spotify control uses local macOS automation. This is an early preview. There is no automatic updater; download the next release when you want to update.
