Some of the most useful work a task does on your Mac happens in another app: filling a form, checking a setting, moving through a file dialog. That work is also the easiest to interrupt. You start it, walk away for a coffee, and the screen dims, the screensaver starts, and the Mac locks. Skyflo cannot use a locked Mac, so the task stopped in the middle of a step and waited for you to come back.
Desktop 1.7.5 changes that. While a task is using an app, Skyflo keeps the display awake, so the idle screensaver and the automatic lock that follows never start. When the task stops using the app, your Mac returns to its normal timers.
Awake, never unlocked
Keeping a Mac awake and unlocking one are different things, and Skyflo only does the first.
It never unlocks your Mac and has no way to. If you lock it yourself, from the menu, a hot corner, closing the lid or Control-Command-Q, it locks at once and the task's window access ends, exactly as before. Keep-awake only prevents the lock that idle time would have started while a task is actively working.
It applies only while a window grant is live. With no task using an app, it does nothing.
Keep-awake is on by default. To turn it off, open Settings › Computer use and switch off Keep this Mac awake during a task. The computer use guide covers how window access works and what stays under your control.
Access that belongs to the task
Computer use itself is simpler in this release. Settings has one App control switch and the Mac permission setup. Window access is granted from the task that needs it, with + › Use an app…, and it stays bound to that task. Turning App control off revokes current access, and the choice survives a restart.
Right-click where you expect it
Right-click now works the way it does in other Mac apps. A mission row offers its own actions. A section heading offers New mission, Mark all as read and, for a section you made, Remove section. A message can be copied as text or as Markdown. Text fields and selected text get the standard edit menu.
A composer that says what it will do
The composer's icons were redrawn so each one names its action: a bolt for Auto, a checklist for Plan, a person signing off for Ask for approval, and a plain tick on the row you chose. While Skyflo Cloud loads its models, the composer shows a placeholder and does not accept a message it cannot start yet. The update control is now one chip from start to finish: a download arrow while an update arrives, and a restart arrow when it is ready.
