I thought Aerial had auto-updates with Sparkle?
Aerial

Aerial used to automatically update (since version 1.5.0) using the Sparkle framework.

With the introduction of macOS 10.15 (Catalina), things changed for screen savers and Aerial was no longer able to update itself because of the new security restrictions introduced with sandboxing. A temporary workaround was put in place in version 1.8.0 where you could get notified of a new version but not automatically install.

While this worked most of the time, for some users, the update check caused the ScreenSaverEngine to lose the keyboard/mouse focus, and pressing a key would no longer let you exit the screen saver (pressing cmd-alt-shift-esc could be used as a workaround). This issue seems to trigger a lot more often in macOS 11 (Big Sur). Due to this, Sparkle was removed from Aerial starting in version 2.0.0 and native support was added using Aerial Companion.

How does it work?

During your first launch you will be able to set up Aerial Companion to keep you up to date the way that you want. Choose whether it checks for an update hourly, daily, weekly, or only when you want to update manually. Run the companion app in the foreground from your menubar, or in the background without any effort from you. Stay up to date with either stable releases or beta updates.

An intelligent personal assistant that never leaves your side — that’s what a companion app is.

Literally speaking, a companion app is a smartphone application, but it’s so much more than that to the person using it.

Just like a real-life companion, a virtual companion makes you a better version of yourself. It can help you get more done, stick to schedules, and learn about you as you interact with it.

Since our smartphones never leave our side, you can always count on a companion app to be there.

In this article we will discuss more about what you can do with a companion app, and point you in the direction of the best one for people with special needs.

What is a Companion App? Something Like Siri?

When describing what a companion app is, naturally you might think of Siri or other such virtual assistants.

Siri on iPhone, and Google Assistant on Android, do not exactly fit the description of what is a companion app.

Compared to a true companion app, smartphone virtual assistants as we know them today are actually quite limited.

Smartphone virtual assistants typically rely on other apps to accomplish tasks. If you ask Siri to set a reminder it will call upon the Reminders app, if you ask it a question it will conduct a Google search, and so on.

With a companion app everything is done in one place. You’ll never lose track of which app does what, or where to find a piece of information, because you only need to refer to your companion app.

What Does a Companion App Do?

The goal of a companion app is to help you achieve greater independence as the app helps you with the many challenges of everyday life. This could include remembering course schedules, getting to work on time, navigating from one place to another, and so on.

Both students and adults can benefit from companion apps. Here’s what the average day in life with a companion app might look like:

  • Wake up with an alarm
  • Check the calendar to see if you work today
  • Get alerted about today’s weather and find out you might need an umbrella
  • Be reminded to take your morning meds
  • Use the integrated navigation to get to your new job
  • Set reminders for your breaks at work — you don’t want to stay on break too long
  • Cook something new for dinner by asking the companion app how to do it
  • Be reminded to take your evening meds

Those are just a few of the many things you can do with a companion app throughout the day.

What Companion App Should I Use?

Identifor has developed an appropriately named app called ‘Companion’ that is designed to do everything mentioned above and more. It is the only companion app designed for teens and adults with autism.

Companion

What really sets Companion apart from similar apps is the artificial intelligence avatar, named Abby, who lives inside the app.

Abby provides a human connection not offered by other apps, and we believe you’ll enjoy having back and forth conversations with your new companion.
