Changelog
0.10.1 · Latest
- New Settings window: a standalone window opened with ⌘,; settings are regrouped by how often you use them into General, Capture, Shortcuts, AI, Privacy & Data and About; dark mode is supported
- Click a shortcut to record it directly; conflicts with other actions, snippets and common system shortcuts are flagged, and you can replace the old one or cancel
- Adding a watched folder now uses the system folder picker (fixes the button that did nothing); the system screenshot location is watched automatically and can't be removed by mistake
- Changes apply immediately; if one fails to save, the previous value is restored and the reason is shown right there
- New: permission status, library location, retention days for the trash and for expired verification codes, Restore Defaults, Scan Existing Screenshots, Contact the Developer
- New "Pause Watching" and "Resume Watching" menu items; the main window no longer jumps back to the top of the list when you switch back to it
0.10.0
- Area selection rebuilt: the screen freezes the moment you press the hotkey, with a pixel magnifier and the color value under the cursor (press C to copy it); hover to highlight a window and click to capture it, or drag for a region; hold Space to move the selection, Shift for a square, Option to draw from the center; new "Capture Previous Area" (⌥⌘R, enable it in Settings)
- New "Capture Text" (⇧⌘1): select an area and its text goes straight to the clipboard; QR codes are decoded; nothing is saved to the library
- A thumbnail card now appears after each capture, showing "Saved · Searchable" and "Copy Text · N chars"; consecutive captures stack; drag the card into Finder, WeChat or any app (you drag out a copy, the original stays in the library); while hovering, ⌘C copies and Esc closes
- Annotation editor rebuilt: every object can be selected, resized, recolored, and its text edited; all 13 tools have single-key shortcuts; new blur, pixelate, spotlight, crop and background styling (padding, gradients, corner radius, shadow)
- Pinned screenshots upgraded: pins land where the capture was taken, can be zoomed and made translucent, and can be locked so clicks pass through
- Copy Image is now PNG-first, so pasting in Finder no longer gives you a TIFF; when trash items expire, the image files Shotbox stored itself are removed too (files in your Desktop or other folders are never touched); Settings gained a "Capture" section where you can switch back to the system screenshot tool
0.9.4
- The list no longer stops at the most recent 500 items: scrolling to the bottom now loads more automatically, and the count shown is the real total (previously, once a local library passed 500 items, older screenshots were invisible in the default view with no indication they were hidden)
- Automatic OCR backfill: on startup, screenshots with empty text whose original image still exists get re-scanned automatically; very wide, thin screenshots now get a second pass with text detection; Settings gained a "Re-recognize all screenshots with the new engine" button, which backs up first, can be paused and resumed, and leaves existing titles, categories and tags untouched
- Stability improvements: the app log now rebuilds itself automatically if a cleanup utility deletes it; new anonymous failure-class diagnostic events (flow failure reasons, permission status, crash exception type) help find and fix problems faster
0.9.3
- Scrolling capture rebuilt: frames are now sampled in-process in real time (~20 fps), so scrolling at normal speed no longer triggers a "too fast" warning; auto-scroll now stops itself once it reaches the bottom; fixed headers and footers are trimmed to a single copy; hover to select an entire window, then drag the handles to fine-tune the region; review the result section by section in a scrollable preview before saving
- Fixed broken text recognition: the 0.9.2 installer shipped without its OCR model files, so new screenshots couldn't be read or searched; the models are back and verified at build time, and the engine now falls back and logs when it fails to start. Screenshots taken during 0.9.2 won't be re-scanned automatically
- Hardening: the local API now only accepts POST and rejects cross-site requests from web pages; the unattended scrolling-capture entry point is off by default
- New hotkey action "Scrolling Capture" (⌥⌘L by default, off until enabled in Settings)
0.9.2
- New "Connect AI": pair AI clients such as Claude from inside the app — generate a per-client key, choose what it may access, copy the MCP / HTTP config, and review or revoke connected clients anytime. Everything stays on 127.0.0.1 and only a hash of each key is stored
- With your permission, AI can read new screenshots and clipboard items incrementally and auto-tag, categorize, collect or archive them. Every action is audited and reversible; AI can never delete items or overwrite titles and text you edited
- Updates now announce themselves: once a new version has downloaded, "Restart to update" appears at the top of the menu bar menu instead of waiting for your next relaunch
- Stability fixes: the hotkey helper now takes a lock to prevent duplicate launches; double-click wake and hotkey save failures no longer fail silently; the list refreshes right after a scrolling capture; the local web panel rejects non-local requests
0.8.7
- Improved update reliability with automated regression checks and reproducible dependencies for safer future updates
0.8.6
- Fixed an issue where the app could fail to reopen after quitting unexpectedly (crash or force quit) — no more needing to restart your Mac
0.8.5
- OCR engine upgraded: text extraction accuracy noticeably improved, with far fewer capitalization and spacing mistakes
- Fixed scrambled text order: extracted text now follows natural reading order, no more stray page numbers cutting into sentences
0.8.4
- Scrolling capture rebuilt from the ground up: a rewritten stitching engine that stays reliable on lists, tables, and sparse pages — the cases that used to break
- Capture with confidence: if you scroll too fast it tells you right away — scroll back a little and it picks up again; when you finish, preview the result before saving
- Smarter auto-scroll: slows itself down when it loses track, and says so when a window can't be scrolled; the live preview is exactly what gets saved
- Settings redesigned: grouped cards by purpose, so the option you want is one glance away
- The quick-paste panel hotkey is now customizable (Settings → Shortcuts)
- Screenshot detail actions regrouped into a tidy vertical list, with one-click copy next to the OCR text
0.8.3
- Quick-paste panel now slides up from the bottom of the screen — a row of cards you glance through. Press ⌃⌘; and pick
- Give any snippet its own shortcut: record a combo (e.g. ⌥⌘E) when editing, then paste it anywhere with one press — no need to open the panel
0.8.2
- Fixed Cmd+V paste not working in the New/Edit Snippet text fields
- Fixed snippet delete and clear-clipboard-history confirmation dialogs occasionally not responding
0.8.1
- New “Clipboard · Snippets” (off by default, privacy-first): save frequent text as snippets, ⌃⌘; to summon, type to search, Enter to paste
