Every release notes. Latest at the top.

v1.3.0May 14, 2026

Save + Copy in one keystroke

  • Feature

    ⌘S now saves AND copies the annotated PNG to clipboard.

    Replace your save → switch to Finder → ⌘C → switch back → ⌘V flow with one keystroke. Toggle in Settings → 'Copy to clipboard on save' (default on).

  • Design

    Save toast updated.

    Shows ‘✓ Saved · copied to clipboard’ when the copy succeeded. Closes after 700ms.

  • Infra

    Distribution moved to cdn.drawshot.dev (Cloudflare R2).

    DMGs now serve from our own CDN with $0 egress — faster downloads worldwide.

v1.2.1May 14, 2026

Glacier brand reaches the app interior

  • Design

    In-app UI fully on Glacier palette.

    Onboarding, annotator, toast cards, menu bar — all switched from green/purple to the Glacier blue/cyan system. v1.2.0 only touched the installer; this gets the actual windows.

  • Fix

    Onboarding keyboard hint readability.

    Tool-letter row was rendering as 'DARCHES' — now properly spaced individual keys (D · A · R · C · H · T · B).

v1.2.0May 14, 2026

Brand reset to Glacier

  • Design

    New solid-D mark logo.

    Refined from the v1 hollow concept toward something more app-icon-native that reads at every size.

  • Design

    Glacier palette across icon, DMG installer, tray, favicon, OG card.

    Deep canvas #06090F · Glacier blue #3B82F6 · cyan→blue→indigo gradient signature.

v1.1.0May 12, 2026

Menu bar + toast stack

  • Feature

    Loom-style toast stack.

    Multiple screenshots queue as ambient cards top-right. Click any to expand. Auto-dismiss after save.

  • Feature

    Menu bar app — no Dock clutter.

    Lives quietly in the menu bar. Click for new shot / recent / preferences. Launches at login.

  • Fix

    Duplicate toast on save.

    Save handler used to drop a _original.png backup on Desktop which retriggered the watcher. Backup moved to userData; suppressPaths blocks the watcher for 3s during save.

  • Fix

    Stale canvas when expanding a different card.

    Minimized annotator still owns its state — was using isVisible() (returns false when minimized) instead of !isDestroyed().

v1.0.0May 11, 2026

Initial release

  • Feature

    Auto-detect screenshots from Desktop.

    chokidar watcher fires the instant macOS writes a screenshot file. Annotator opens within 100ms.

  • Feature

    Full annotation toolkit.

    Draw, arrow, rectangle, circle, highlight, text, blur, stamps. Single-key tool switching (D A R C H T B).
