• New native General, Screenshots, Tolerance, and Appearance settings.
• Customize measurement units, rounding, clipboard formats, aspect ratios, snapping, and live or frozen measurement.
• Copy screenshots with C or save with P. Choose PNG/JPEG, Retina or 1x, padding, sounds, and optional CleanShot integration.
• Adjust each tolerance preset and customize overlay colors, contrast, and light/dark appearance.
• Choose Stable or Beta in About → Updates. Stable is the default; Beta opts into early builds and also receives newer stable releases.
• New transparent liquid-glass bottle icon with blueprint measurement lines.

Manual area measurement still works without Screen Recording permission. Edge detection and screenshots require permission.

Switching from Beta to Stable waits for a newer stable build; it does not downgrade the installed app.
