Releases

Version history and what changed in each build.

v0.2.0

July 17, 2026

Onboarding, branding, and quality-of-life fixes.

  • New: first-launch welcome window — points you at the menu bar icon, teaches the capture shortcut, and warns when a crowded menu bar is hiding the icon (with tips to make room)
  • New: custom PowerPic menu bar icon (template — adapts to light/dark menu bars)
  • New: in-app feedback — Send Feedback… files bug reports and feature requests directly
  • Improved: capture region drag starts on the very first click
  • Improved: custom capture shortcuts no longer request Accessibility permission (only the ⌘⇧4 override needs it)
  • Fixed: ⌘C/⌘V of selected annotations now duplicates them — a stale clipboard image no longer pastes over a fresh internal copy
