New
- Drag the edited image out of the Editor: the handle next to the zoom menu drops the image, with annotations and beautify, into Finder, Messages or any app that takes files. Click it to copy. (#514)
- Pins can open where they were captured, on top of the original content. Settings > Capture > Pin position. Thanks @yohey03518. (#331, #465)
- Toolbar appearance: Dark (the default, as before), Light or Follow System. Settings > General. Thanks @RyanStarFox. (#427, #459)
- Beautify without a background: turn off Background to keep the padding transparent with the shadow on it. JPEG fills it with white. Thanks @RyanStarFox. (#460)
- Default colors: choose the swatches the color picker offers. Settings > Tools. Thanks @cktgh. (#494)
- Type a hex color code in the color picker. Thanks @cktgh. (#489)
- Hide the bottom toolbar and pick tools with their keyboard shortcuts instead. Settings > Tools. Thanks @tnrich. (#490, #491)
- Floating preview options: choose what clicking a preview does, and whether it stays, waits or closes while its capture is open in the Editor. Settings > Capture. Thanks @stepanenko3. (#492)
- Start captures in move mode (off by default): dragging inside a new selection moves it until you pick a tool. Settings > Capture. Thanks @morefreefg. (#502)
Improved
- OCR runs in its own helper process. On macOS 27, a recognition that gets stuck no longer makes later OCR slow or empty until macshot restarts; the fast model answers meanwhile and the helper is replaced. (#508)
- Screen Recording that won't come back after the signature change: the "Turn Screen Recording back on" window shows the exact reset command with Copy and Restart buttons. (#496)
- macshot no longer asks for Screen Recording again and again while access is being repaired, and new users no longer see the "Welcome back" version of the permission window. Thanks @newtonlorenz. (#493)
Fixed
- Main display captures coming out as a 1x image in the corner of a 2x canvas on some macOS 27 setups. Thanks @daresTheDevil. (#499, #500)
- The menu bar menu opening behind full-screen apps on macOS 27. Thanks @Romain04240. (#511)
- Scroll capture auto-scrolling up instead of down with Mac Mouse Fix's reversed scrolling. Thanks @Saafo. (#510)
- Pipes (
|) from window titles in filenames, which SharePoint and Teams reject. Thanks @AwaleSagar. (#487, #505) - "Restart macshot" and "Relaunch Now" after a settings import sometimes leaving no copy of macshot running.
