Cooper's biggest update yet — a drawing pad, note branches, sounds, mixed text+image notes, an update checker, and a lot of polish. Local, private, and open-source as always.

✨ New

  • Built-in drawing pad — sketch with pen, line, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, and text tools, then Save drops the drawing straight onto the board as an image note. Open it from the + button in the composer.
  • Note branches — right-click a note to add sub-points inline, or open them in a dedicated side panel. Great for breaking a captured idea into pieces.
  • Mixed text + image notes — drop an image onto a text card to attach it. Copy grabs the note's text, and every attached image has its own one-click copy.
  • Capture & new-note sounds — pick from built-ins (Pop / Click / Morse) or point Cooper at your own sound file. Preview and configure it all in the new Settings sheet.
  • Daily update check — Cooper quietly checks GitHub for new releases (on by default, one notify-only banner, fully toggleable in the menu). No telemetry, no account.

🎛️ Workflow

  • Instant note-taking — the composer is focused the moment Cooper appears, and right after you create or switch a section.
  • Tab to grab a note — Tab cycles from the composer through the active section's notes and back. In Tab mode, Enter copies the focused note to your clipboard, and a second Enter also marks it done — capture something out without touching the mouse.
  • Terminal-style sections — starting a new section clears the board (scrolls the old notes out of the way) while remembering each section's expanded/collapsed state.
  • Custom export folder — choose where Markdown exports land with a native folder picker in Settings.
  • Rebindable shortcuts — a full shortcuts editor in Settings; make every in-app action your own.

🛠️ Fixes

  • macOS crash fix — the double-shift key listener that could crash Cooper on launch (SIGTRAP, #3) is now disabled on macOS; the Cmd+Shift global shortcuts still work there.
  • Hardened link-opening against command injection.

📦 Install

Grab the installer for your platform below.

  • Windows — .exe (NSIS, per-user) or .msi
  • macOS — .dmg (universal — Apple Silicon + Intel)
  • Linux — .AppImage, .deb, or .rpm

On macOS the double-shift capture hotkey is off (see the fix above); use the Cmd+Shift+Space / Cmd+Shift+C shortcuts. On Wayland, use the fallback hotkeys too.
