NabyScape 2.3.0

Six new ways to use NabyScape, with shared local data and a compact English interface.

What's new

• Drag to Island — stage file references at the island or tucked edge, see a three-thumbnail drop target, and select multiple shelf items to drag out together. Cancelling a drag retains your open editor.
• Detachable previews — Music, Timer, Focus, Calendar, Notes, Shelf and System can open as separate resizable windows. Each kind opens once, shares the island's data, remembers its placement, and offers optional Always on top.
• Activities — combine opening apps, folders and websites with Focus and timed Keep awake. Customize and save the Study template, then press Start. Stop ends only the sessions still owned by that run.
• Smart clipboard — contextual actions for text, links, images and HEX/RGB colors. Review cleaned links, save images as PNG, and copy color formats. History stays opt-in.
• Closed cover gestures — select Artwork in Appearance, then click the cover to play/pause or hold for 500 ms to choose a session. Other areas retain the panel-opening action.
• Two live activities — a small countdown satellite keeps music visible while Timer or Focus is running. The nearest deadline wins; hover to preview or click to open.

Controls includes descriptions and interactive examples. System is a new optional hover page, off initially. Manual hide/show also manages detached windows; automatic tucking affects only the island. Detached windows do not reopen automatically after restarting.

Download

• NabyScape-Setup.exe — per-user installer.
• NabyScape-2.3.0-windows-x64-portable.zip — extract and run NabyScape.exe.
• SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 checksums for both downloads.

Requires Windows 11 x64. The .NET runtime is included. The installer is unsigned. No administrator rights, account or cloud service is required.

Upgrading

Quit the running app from its tray before installing. Existing NabyScape, BillyNabilaIsland and LumaIsland installations retain local preferences, content and startup state. The internal per-user data/install paths remain compatible. Portable use also stores data in the Windows user profile.

Notes now use one shared document across the panel, hover and detached window. Closing a preview does not stop its media or countdown.

Verification and limits

Logic checks and Windows desktop diagnostics cover activity ownership/failures, clipboard fixtures, shared notes/caret, all seven preview windows, hidden/minimized subscriptions, hover bounds, drag cancellation, satellite navigation, and keyboard calendar controls. Interactive fixtures avoid changing daily playback, audio routing, brightness or the system clipboard.

Layout-scale simulations are labeled; they do not change Windows DPI. Physical mixed-DPI/hot-plug transitions and external file-drag/pointer interactions still require device-specific checks. Hardware sensor and media-provider limitations remain as documented in the README.
