Contexts

@thewisenerdxda contexts.co/releases/Conte…

@caarlos0 Can you download and install contexts.co/releases/Conte…?

@andrewgarnerdev Apologies for the delay. I do not see any emails from an Andrew Garner. Can you please provide the email address you used during purchase and I can re-send your license to you.

@contextsapp I have sent multiple emails in the last 2 months about my issue (app trial expires and prompts me to purchase, even though I have paid for and registered my license key), without any response. Is the app even under active development anymore? Where is the support?

@realactualprice Great! It should work fine on both Monterey and M1 macs. Though currently it requires Rosetta and a native version is planned.

@contextsapp You're one of my favorite productivity apps! I'm probably switching machines soon, so I wanted to check if Contexts runs on M1 macs and/or Monterey?

@cruzconcarne Nope. Contexts stores preferences on the local machine only.

@contextsapp is there a way to sync preferences across multiple machines?

@niels Unfortunately, there are a few bugs in the a11y apis that Contexts uses for switching. This is likely a side-effect of them and some workarounds Contexts uses for them.

@contextsapp I love contexts, but after some time of usage (admittedly, with quite a lot of stuff open) switching between fullscreen apps always involves a slide to the "left" most desktop and then back to the selected app.. this is quite slow and a little annoying. thoughts?

@stooovie Yes, you can turn on Command-Tab > Typing characters starts Fast Search.

@lodestone Thanks for the feedback. While we are not adding enhancements and so no promises but we will consider this. 🙂

@contextsapp hi! I use Contexts every day. ♥️ As much as I fight it, tho, I get older every year. This year I noticed my eyesight worsening. Can I request Contexts have larger font size choices? Somehow "Large" on the slider isn't as large as it used to be.... 🧐

@peanutsauce123 Thank you so much. 🙂

@contextsapp Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you for creating this app. I've been using it since 2018 and it's easily THE most helpful app on macOS.

@hobox10 Nope, have not been working on adding new features.

@keatinme Nope, the are no positioning options for the panel.

@j4hangir Yeah, the regex only matches against window titles. If no window is open that will not apply. The only options are 1. Turn off the global Rules > Show running apps which do not have a window open setting or to quit Finder (with Contexts you can quit it).

@contextsapp also one very annoying thing about the app, I can't hide "Finder" from always showing up in the list even when there's no specific folder is opened. I tinkered around with the regex but it's not working properly, Finder must either be always shown or never.

@j4hangir That seems high. Is that the case consistently?

@contextsapp I've noticed contexts uses way too much CPU around 5% on M1 MacBook. Why's that exactly?

@_on_toy_ Yup, cdn.contexts.co/f/releases/Con… is compatible with High Sierra.

@contextsapp Hi Exists any version for High Sierra?

@zelinzky That is the next thing in the queue but cannot provide a timeline right now.

@weeble Unfortunately there are bugs in the a11y apis that Contexts uses for switching. This is an occasional side-effect of those (and some tricks Contexts uses).

@contextsapp I'm sometimes finding that switching to an app or a desktop results in an immediate switch away to another desktop. I have even had the Mac just bounce rapidly back and forth between two desktops with no further input. Doesn't happen if I quit Contexts.

@knkj28 Nope, that is the only available option. 🙂

@contextsapp Is there a way to customize two-finger scroll-down gestures to another? I think it's a little difficult to scroll down from the edge of the top left end or right end.

@b0k_w00n Apologies, it was by mistake. If you still need a Mojave compatible version, you can download cdn.contexts.co/f/releases/Con….

@contextsapp Really unhappy that your software forced itself to update (I didn't start it), and then happily announced that it was not compatible with the current version of macOS that I'm using (Mojave). Why did you force update if you knew it would not be compatible?

@pallavmac That is weird. Will look into it.

@contextsapp multiple Pages, Numbers and Keynote windows don't show up in contexts

@roeybiran This was likely due to a bug in VS Code. Hopefully you haven't been seeing this for the last few months?

@contextsapp recently, I started to notice that switching FROM certain apps won’t work unless the switch is immediate (fast enough to avoid Contexts' panel). Happens with VS Code and Blender (Contexts used to work great with those!)
