Clicker for Netflix 2 is a complete re-write of the original Clicker for Netflix, significantly improving performance of the product in addition to adding several new features.
Hi PH! ๐
I first announced Clicker for Netflix here a little over a year ago. Crazy how time flies!
Well, today I have an exciting announcement - Clicker for Netflix 2 is out!
Over the last few months, we have completely re-written the app using Apple's Swift programming language, and we are moving away from using the Electron framework. As a result of this re-write, we have achieved major improvements to the performance and functionality of the app, and we're super excited for you to try it out.
So, what's changed in v2?
- App file size is now 92% smaller, going from 192.8MB to only 15.8MB!
- App now uses significantly less memory and CPU, which means major improvements in battery performance as well as no overheating issues when playing videos any more
- New preference to always watch a show's credits.
- 1080P streaming works again
- Adoption of Apple design patterns for buttons, icons, nav, etc...
- Play/Pause using the media keyboard controls or on removing Airpods.
- New app updater system with the option to automatically install updates.
- Picture-in-Picture now sticks to the corners of your screen for faster and easier repositioning.
- You now have the option to make the Picture-in-Picture window float above fullscreen apps. This will cause the app icon to hide when in Picture-in-Picture mode.
This is in addition to the appโs baseline functionality:
๐ Launch Netflix right from your Mac dock
โก Instantly resume your last played video
๐ Control Netflix from the Touch bar
๐น๏ธ Quickly resume playback from the Menu Bar
๐ผ๏ธ Picture-in-Picture support
๐๏ธ and tons of custom preferences like disabling autoplaying trailers and auto-skipping intros
You can get the new version for only $3.99 (normally $7.99) with code PH51220 today only!
*Free update for existing users
Iโd be happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below.
