  • Encrypt your screenshots and videos. Turn it on in Settings → Storage & privacy. Finder, Quick Look, other apps and backups then can't open them; QWER shows them as before. What's already recorded is converted in the background (a few seconds). The key is kept in your Mac's Keychain. Save the recovery key Settings shows you: you need it to open the files on another Mac or after the Keychain is reset.
  • Save a copy of a picture to use elsewhere, as a normal image: Save image… in the full-size picture window (or ⌘S), and Save this frame… in the time-lapse's ⋯ and right-click menus (the whole screen, at full size).
  • Exporting a day as a video now saves a normal MP4 in Downloads and shows it in Finder.
  • Disk usage "when full" is right again. With screenshots kept for only a day, it counted them as almost nothing (it said about 360 MB where about 870 MB is right).

Which Macs: QWER works on Macs running macOS 12 Monterey or later, with Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 or later) or an Intel processor. Download the file for yours: …-arm64.dmg for Apple silicon, …-x64.dmg for Intel. To check, open the Apple menu → About This Mac: "Chip: Apple M…" means Apple silicon, "Processor: … Intel" means Intel. Tested on macOS 14 Sonoma (Apple silicon; the Intel version was tested there too, through Rosetta).

QWER isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first time you open it you may need System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. It needs Screen Recording permission to capture your screen.

QWER is in testing, so versions start with 0 until its public release. Versions 0.1.0 to 0.1.9 were shared as 1.0.0 to 1.0.9.
