Echo 2.0: battery and two languages

Translated automatically from Russian. Read the original →

Battery

A battery row has appeared in the Echo window: the charge level and what it’s currently doing — charging, running on power adapter, charged, or running on battery.

A separate tab shows a charge graph for the last 24 hours. Charging periods are marked on the time axis. Click anywhere on the graph — Echo will show the ten apps that used the most energy at that moment.

How it works:

  • while the Mac is running on battery, Echo samples energy usage per process every 5 minutes;
  • the history is stored only on your Mac and only for the last 24 hours.

Russian and English

The Echo interface is now in two languages. By default it follows the macOS language, and in Settings → General you can choose English or Russian. The language changes instantly, without a restart.

Autocorrect — separately

Previously, layout autocorrect was enabled only together with Ultra Switch. Now they are two independent toggles: you can keep the ⌥Space and ⌥⇧Space hotkeys but turn off autocorrect, and vice versa.

Little things

  • Clipboard History and Prevent Sleep remember their state after a restart.
  • On the CPU and Memory tabs — the ten heaviest processes.
  • The labels under the rings are larger and readable at a glance.
  • The clipboard history window closes immediately after selecting an entry.

The update arrives on its own, or Echo-2.0.dmg — on the releases page.
