macOS Lens 0.2.1

Smoother, quieter, and it can now update itself.

• Built-in updater: checks GitHub once a day (you can turn this off in Settings), shows "Update to X.Y.Z…" in the menu, verifies the download's checksum and signature, then swaps and relaunches.
• Opening the overlay no longer uploads anything. Nothing is sent until you circle, box or tap.
• Copy closes the overlay: Command + C, the chip's Copy and "Copy all text" all return you to the app you were in.
• Either shortcut can be set to None.
• New corner brackets around the selection, and the menu-bar mark matches the new brand mark.
• Native Liquid Glass controls on macOS 26; macOS 14 and 15 keep the previous look.
• Fewer permission prompts: Screen Recording is requested only when you click "Allow Screen Recording…" in onboarding or Settings.
• A proper app icon, and a branded disk image with a drag-to-Applications window.

After installing or updating, turn Screen Recording on again. Click "Allow Screen Recording…" and then Quit & Reopen. The app is ad-hoc signed, so macOS treats each build as a new app.
