Stashium v0.5.0 — macOS universal build (Apple Silicon + Intel).

  • Signed with Apple Developer ID
  • Notarized by Apple
  • Requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later

What's new

The headline of 0.5.0: anything you stash becomes searchable text, even when it isn't text. Screenshots, PDFs, EPUBs — all of it goes through on-device extraction, and the searchable text feeds straight into AI Summary and Smart Folder.

Screenshots become searchable

  • Pasted images and screenshots now run through on-device OCR (Apple's Live Text engine + Vision framework). CJK supported, no cloud calls, no network.
  • The recognized text lands in regular search — typing "invoice 2024" surfaces the screenshot whose pixels say so.
  • Highlights of OCR'd words on the image are visible in the detail view (Latin script; CJK uses transcript-only search).
  • Runs once per image in the background. Existing screenshots from before this version get processed on next launch.

PDFs and EPUBs are indexed too

  • Drop a PDF or EPUB into Stashium and the text layer gets pulled out (PDFs with embedded text — exports from Word, Pages, Notion, etc.).
  • Same downstream as OCR: the text is searchable AND feeds AI Summary / Smart Folder.
  • Capped at 30K characters per document so AI prompts stay focused on the topic rather than drowning in a whole novel.
  • Scanned PDFs (no embedded text layer) are skipped — the AI buttons just don't appear. No silent garbage.

AI works on more than text now

  • AI Summary and Smart Folder buttons now appear on screenshot, PDF, and EPUB clips — anywhere on-device text extraction succeeded.
  • Short OCR fragments (icons, app chrome) intentionally hide the buttons to prevent the model from hallucinating a topic out of two words.

Quick Paste overlay (⌥S)

  • A searchable popup that appears wherever your cursor is. Type to filter, ↵ to paste, ⎋ to dismiss.
  • Default shortcut ⌥S — rebindable in Settings → Shortcuts.
  • Lands on the monitor you're actively using, not whichever screen Tauri picks as primary.

Search now reaches into the body, not just the title

  • Search previously matched only previews and titles. Now it also matches:
    • Full article body of URL clips
    • Rich-text/HTML body of formatted clips
    • OCR text from images
    • Text extracted from PDF/EPUB
  • Lookups still feel instant — the index is the same SQLite store, just with more columns in the LIKE clause.

WordPress sites capture images properly

  • Many WordPress sites lazy-load inline images (WP Smush, a3 Lazy Load, WP Rocket, etc.) — the real URL sits in data-src, while src= is a 1×1 placeholder.
  • Previously: only the cover image survived the scrape; every inline article image came out blank.
  • Now: lazy-loaded URLs are detected and pulled into the local cache like normal images. Your saved articles render with their pictures intact, online and offline.

Keyboard shortcuts page

  • New Settings → Shortcuts tab lets you rebind global and in-app shortcuts (Quick Paste, capture trigger, window toggle, etc.) without leaving the app.
