Pinpoint 0.6.0

What's New in 0.6.0

• Crop tool in the editor — trim a capture with eight handles and a rule-of-thirds grid; existing markers and arrows are remapped into the cropped frame.
• Optional capture timer — a 3, 5, or 10-second countdown before the shot so you can arrange your UI or open a menu; press Esc to cancel.
• "What's New…" menu item — opens the changelog so you can always see what each release added.

Crop tool and capture timer contributed by @ganuong11 — thank you! 🙏

Pinpoint 0.5.0

Pinpoint captures your screen, drops numbered markers on what matters, and copies a ready-to-paste prompt for your AI agent: an annotated image plus instructions that reference every marker.

What's new in 0.5.0

• Markers stay fully visible near edges. A marker placed close to an edge is no longer clipped in the exported image — the badge is kept inside the picture, so the agent always sees the number.
• Shelf shortcuts. ⌘A selects all screenshots; Esc exits selection mode.
• Editor tool picker no longer shifts around in narrow windows.

If you're on 0.4.0+, Pinpoint updates itself — just use Check for updates… from the menu (or wait for the automatic check).

Install

1. Download Pinpoint.dmg below, open it, and drag Pinpoint into your Applications folder.
2. Or with Homebrew: brew install --cask croustibat/tap/pinpoint.

Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. On your first capture, macOS asks for Screen Recording permission (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording), then quit and relaunch Pinpoint once.

Requirements

• macOS 15 or later
• Apple Silicon & Intel

Free & open source.

Pinpoint 0.4.0

Pinpoint captures your screen, drops numbered markers on what matters, and copies a ready-to-paste prompt for your AI agent: an annotated image plus instructions that reference every marker.

What's new in 0.4.0

• Automatic updates. Pinpoint now keeps itself up to date — a new Check for updates… menu item plus background checks (powered by Sparkle). This is the first version with in-app updates, so from here on new releases install in one click.
• Multi-monitor capture, fixed. The selection overlay now dims and works on every display, not just the primary one. (#26)
• Copied images always paste. The image from Copy for the agent is capped so it reliably pastes into Claude, GitHub, and other targets; a new Save image… (⌘S) exports the full-resolution PNG. (#28)
• Version shown in Settings, so you always know which build you're running.

Install

1. Download Pinpoint.dmg below.
2. Open it and drag Pinpoint into your Applications folder.
3. Launch it — it lives in your menu bar. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Pinpoint 0.3.0

Pinpoint captures your screen, drops numbered markers on what matters, and copies a ready-to-paste prompt for your AI agent: an annotated image plus instructions that reference every marker.

What's new in 0.3.0

• Edit in Pinpoint from the Shelf. Any screenshot in the Shelf — including a native ⌘⇧4 capture — can now be reopened as a Pinpoint annotation session. A prominent Edit in Pinpoint button in the detail window, plus a direct pin action and a menu entry on every thumbnail. (#18)
• Custom Shelf titles. Rename any capture inline (double-click) or via Edit title…, without renaming the file on disk. Titles follow renames/moves and are cleaned up on delete.
• Fix: pasting a capture into a terminal. Pasting into a text-only target (e.g. a terminal / Claude Code) kept only the text and dropped the image. The image now survives the paste, since the legend is baked into it.
