PointShot

0.1.4

• Set independent shortcuts for window capture and region capture, or leave either shortcut unassigned.

• Discover voice annotations through persistent instructions, recording feedback, retry, and text fallback.

• Use custom controls, window chrome, and update prompts that match the app in light and dark appearance.

• Draw freehand annotations and keep selection consistent after undo and redo.

• Add mosaics reliably and align redaction boundaries to whole pixels while preserving PNG transparency.

• Introduce a new warm-colored capture icon across the app and website.

• Copy captures to the clipboard by default without opening the annotation editor, with independent settings for both actions.

• Edit text in a floating panel that follows the annotation, without a modal dialog.

• Draw reliable arrows, rectangles, ellipses, straight lines, and sequential numbered steps, with undo and saved-project support.

• Hide the Dock and Command-Tab entries after the last window closes, and restore them when a window opens.

• Use consistent custom menus for tool actions, capture settings, mosaic grain, sharing, and the menu bar panel, with light and dark appearance and keyboard navigation.

• Open directly in settings, with consistent English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese interfaces.

• Preserve PNG transparency around window corners and show transparent areas on a display-only checkerboard.

• Keep mosaic redactions in exported, copied, and shared images, preserving alpha and clipping masks at image edges.

• Cancel active captures safely when quitting, and surface errors without opening an empty editor.

• Prevent edits during save and export, keep history projects and thumbnails consistent, and reject oversized projects without losing the current image.

0.1.3

• Capture whole windows automatically or draw a region, with Option to switch modes and customizable shortcuts.

• Adjust frosted mosaic grain size, with undo, saved projects, and redacted OCR.

• Add compact text bubbles with centered single-line labels and matching curved arrows.

• Open settings with Command-comma and close windows with Command-W.

• Share the current screenshot, saved captures, and OCR history through the macOS sharing menu, including AirDrop.

• Share full-resolution annotated PNGs with redactions preserved, or OCR results as UTF-8 text files.

• Keep the latest 20 OCR and polished text results for quick copying and sharing.

0.1.2

• Check for updates from the app menu, menu bar, or settings.
• Optionally check for new releases at launch and every six hours; the setting is off by default and remembers your choice.
• Download verified updates and restart to install, with checksum, app identity, Developer ID and notarization checks, plus rollback if replacement fails.

0.1.1

• Capture a region and hold a point to add a spoken annotation, with on-device transcription.
• Keep arrows connected to editable bubbles, redact private details, and export at the original resolution.
• Extract text with Scripit integration, with optional AI polishing using your own provider and existing Scripit license.
• Customize the capture shortcut and work comfortably in light and dark appearance.
• Introducing the PointShot website and a signed, notarized Mac installer.

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 27 or later. Scrolling capture and screen recording are not included.
