About Thermo Watch for Nest
＊ After the August 31, 2019 this app may no longer work for new Nest users. An update is coming that should hopefully rectify this. The app will be removed from sale if it stops working after the above date, until the new update is ready.
＊ For the existing app users, and those who start using it before the August 31, the app will continue working indefinitely, as long as you do not migrate your Nest account onto a Google account.
____________________________
Apple Mac and Nest Learning Thermostat. Together in perfect harmony.
Thermo Watch offers the quickest, most intuitive way of controlling your Nest Thermostats:
• Click on the menu bar, with the ambient temperatures preview, to open the app popout. All your thermostats are listed there, ready to be controlled.
• Swipe to open the notification center, and the thermostats are displayed in the widget. Again, you can start adjusting the moment the Widget appears.
Temperature values in the menu bar update instantly and continuously, to reflect the ambient temperatures reported by your thermostats, without having to open the app. Any time you change the temperature, you will hear a chime that confirms the thermostat has received, and applied your command. At home or outside - control from anywhere you have the internet access.
The app supports multiple thermostats in multiple homes. Fahrenheit and Celsius are supported, with correct half-degree setting for Celsius.
You can also switch between the heating, cooling, or heat/cool modes, set the Away status, or turn the fan on and off.
Make sure to sign in with your main Nest account. At this time, Nest doesn't allow support for Family accounts in 3rd party apps.
While the app's minimalist looks betray the simplicity of its operation, what they don't show is the amount of planning, design, development and refinement that went into it, ensuring it becomes something that is enjoyable to use and experience.
The goal was to make a product that would feel like it truly belongs to both the macOS, and Nest ecosystems.
Please Note: Thermo Watch does not collect any of your data. Your login information, thermostat settings, and any activity - all of it flows exclusively between your Mac, your thermostat, and Nest Labs. Author of Thermo Watch has no access to any of it, at any point.

For the existing app users, and those who start using it before the August 31, the app will continue working indefinitely, as long as you do not migrate your Nest account onto a Google account.
＊ An option called "Save Your Nest API Key" is added to the Settings submenu. This will copy your Nest API Key onto clipboard, so that you can then paste it into a password protected note, or some other secure location, to keep it safe. You may need this API Key to log into a Nest account on a new Mac, in a future version of this app. Please do this if you plan to keep using the app in the future.
＊ When signing out of the Nest account, there are now two Sign out options. One of them will deauthorize your API Key, the other one will not. If you choose the deauthorize option after the August 31, you may not be able to log back into the app, even if you saved the API Key as described in the previous step. Deauthorizing will make that API key invalid.

Version 2.6:
• Fix for a rare problem that would prevent some users from logging in.
Version 2.5:
+ Notification Center Widget now automatically adapts to Dark Mode in macOS Mojave. Main app can be manually switched from Dark to Light mode.
+ The app now shows the icon in the dock by default. This can be disabled in the settings, which reverts the app to the way it was before. I had to make the icon show by default because many users didn't realize the app was running, with the icon in the menu bar being easy to miss.

• For users with multiple homes, thermostats are now sorted by home, and the home name is displayed in front of the room name. For users with one home, they remain sorted alphabetically. Again, thanks to David for the suggestion.

+ Added the Menu Bar highlighting to show the HVAC status (heating / cooling / off). There is an option to disable this, if you prefer the more discrete looking menu bar. Thanks to Scott for this idea!
+ Added the option to choose between the Dark and Light mode for the main app UI. Thanks to Marshall for the idea!
Message to user atbyd from Canada: If you're still seeing the problem with the app after this update, please contact me through the support link. I'm sure we can figure out whatever's wrong.
