Snipflag v1.3.0

Snipflag 1.3.0: capture is much faster, the editor does far more, and a marked-up screenshot is now useful outside Linear too.

New

• Share anywhere: a share bar under the screenshot offers Copy image, Copy for AI and Save image. Copy for AI saves every marked-up screenshot to Pictures/Snipflag and copies their paths with your title, description and step notes, ready to paste into an assistant such as Claude Code. Ctrl+C copies the image; Ctrl+Shift+C copies for AI.
• Step notes: every numbered step can carry a note. Notes travel with Copy for AI and can be added to the issue description.
• Hide the Linear panel: give the editor the whole window when you only want to mark up and share. The choice is remembered.
• Crop and Line tools: crop (C) with Undo, and a plain line (L).
• Canvas controls: Ctrl+wheel zooms toward the pointer, hold Space or use the middle button to pan, arrow keys move the selected mark (Shift for 10 px), Ctrl+D duplicates it, and marks snap to the image and to each other while you move them.
• Filmstrip: drag screenshots to reorder them, put a removed screenshot back, larger thumbnails.
• History: a thumbnail for every session, search, and All / Drafts / Sent filters.
• Capture options in Settings → Capture, all off by default: adjust the selection before capturing, a magnifier at the pointer, copy every capture to the clipboard, save every capture to Pictures/Snipflag, and a 3, 5 or 10 second delay for menus and tooltips.
• Four more themes: Paper (a ruled notebook page), Blossom (falling petals), Midnight (a night sky) and Graphite (brushed metal and carbon weave). A picked theme previews at once.

Improved

• Faster capture: the selection screen is opened ahead of time and reused, the frozen screen reaches it uncompressed from memory, and Windows no longer waits a fixed 300 ms after hiding the editor. The editor no longer appears, faded, in a capture taken while it is open.
• Drawing at the edge: a stroke no longer stops when the pointer leaves the picture; it follows the edge until you release.
• Report preview renders the description's Markdown (headings, lists, tasks, quotes, code, emphasis) instead of raw characters.
• Issue panel: labels are colored chips with search, a missing title or team is reported at that field, and long lists show their search joined to the list.
• Title bar: a maximize button (or double-click the bar), and the toolbar and share bar also drag the window.
• Filmstrip thumbnails no longer blink after each mark.

Downloads

Windows x64 offers .exe and .msi, macOS offers Apple silicon and Intel .dmg files, and Linux x64 offers .deb and .AppImage. SHA256SUMS.txt lists checksums, and latest.json is used by the updater. Version 1.2.0 can update in place from the Update button in its title bar.

Unsigned installers: Windows and macOS code signing and notarization are not configured, so SmartScreen and Gatekeeper will ask before opening the app. Update packages carry Snipflag's own update signature, which the app verifies before installing.

What has been checked: automated checks and packaging passed on all platforms. The new capture path and editor tools were tried by hand on Windows 10 during development, but this final build has not had a full manual pass. macOS and Linux builds compile and pass their tests; the new features have not been run there, and an in-place update from 1.2.0 has not been exercised yet.
