new in 1.0.1
• Tinted activities keep their tint's saturation, so dark tints like Termius' stay dark instead of turning bright blue. • Buttons and images no longer show up dimmed, as if pressed. • Text wraps, truncates, aligns and spaces like it does on the phone, using the app's own fonts where it ships them. • Frosted materials, inner shadows and angular gradients draw properly.

First release. • Shows your iPhone's Live Activities on the Car Thing, mirrored from your Mac through the bridgething desktop app. • Redraws each activity's lock-screen view natively from the data macOS receives, at the Car Thing's resolution. • Ticks timers and progress bars on the device, and rolls changed digits like iOS. • Comes to the front when an activity starts, or also when one updates, or never (setting), and returns to the previous app when the last one ends.
