Beetroot is now open source under Apache 2.0. Explore the code, report issues, or contribute. Created by Max Nardit.
What's New
- More reliable pasting in normal, follow-cursor and always-on-top modes. Reopening from the tray no longer reuses an old paste destination.
- Better file and folder renaming in Explorer, with clearer feedback when a clip is copied for manual paste.
- More dependable history: fixes for restoring deleted images, keeping notes and moving the data folder.
- AI keys move from older settings into Windows Credential Manager. Interrupted migrations can be retried without losing the remaining keys.
- Fixes for AI results, Unicode search highlighting and application icons, plus updated TLS certificate validation.
Installation
Windows installer (recommended): download Beetroot_1.6.7_x64-setup.exe below. An MSI installer is also available as Beetroot_1.6.7_x64_en-US.msi.
Existing users can update through Beetroot. If you installed a 1.6.7 test build, run the final installer manually: automatic updates do not replace a build with the same version number.
Package-manager and Microsoft Store updates are handled separately; this release does not mean those channels already carry 1.6.7.
Known Limitations
- When the original paste target is no longer available, or when choosing a clip in always-on-top mode, Beetroot may copy without pasting. Focus the destination and paste manually.
- On one Windows 11 test installation, the first Show in Explorer action opened the correct folder without selecting the image. The same behavior also occurred without Beetroot running.
