v1.3.0

Current public build May 2, 2026
  • Save the current overlay screenshot to disk: use ⌘S, the new "Save Screenshot" item in the more-menu, or hold ⌘ while dragging a region.
  • Choose a custom save location for overlay screenshots in Settings.
  • Click the saved-file toast to reveal the screenshot in Finder; clicking dismisses the overlay.
  • Plays a system shutter sound on successful screenshot save (CC0 fallback bundled).
  • Surfaced ⌘S in the overlay's instruction pill so the screenshot shortcut is discoverable.
  • Rebuilt the overlay more-menu on AppKit so "Save Region…" shows a bare ⌘ aligned with the other shortcut hints in the right-hand column.
  • "Save Screenshot" in the more-menu now uses the camera-viewfinder glyph to match the instruction-pill ⌘S hint.
  • The ⌘-drag region-screenshot hint now appears only on the first two menu uses, then quietly drops to "Drag to capture."
  • Region screenshots now crop pixel-exact instead of using the OCR padding; text-grab still uses padded crops.
  • Surface a blocked capture status when capture-start bails silently.
  • Retain the shutter sound across rapid plays so it never clips on the first save.
  • Defer the save-quality info alert when reveal-in-Finder dismisses the overlay so it surfaces on a future save instead of being buried behind Finder.
  • Removed an empty CFBundleDisplayName and stale INFOPLIST_KEY_* build settings.
  • Routed the capture pipeline through unified logging.

Previous release April 24, 2026
  • Added multi-display capture and rewind support, including monitor selection in the overlay.
  • Added clearer Screen Recording permission guidance during first launch and recovery.

v0.3.0

Previous release April 8, 2026
  • Added indexed full-history search in the rewind overlay so you can find retained screen text without scrubbing frame by frame.
  • Added in-frame search match highlighting to make matched words easier to spot once a result is open.
  • Added clickable overlay controls for close, previous/next frame, and search.
  • Added a configurable pause/resume shortcut and improved pause state visibility in the menu bar.
  • Smoothed search and scrolling transitions in the rewind overlay.

v0.2.1

Previous release April 3, 2026
  • Fixed Escape cancellation during drag-to-grab text so cancelling a selection no longer triggers OCR on mouse-up.
  • Refreshed the public app page with a real screenshot of the rewind overlay and text-grab flow.

v0.2.0

Previous release March 23, 2026
  • Added drag-to-grab text in rewind so you can select part of a frame and copy cleaned OCR text straight to the clipboard.
