Initial release of Glance, a native screenshot editor for annotation, animated
backdrops, and sharing visual context with coding agents.

Added

  • Native macOS area and main-display capture, editable annotations, crop,
    resize, rotation, clipboard import/export, and PNG save.
  • Spotlight and magnifier tools, solid and gradient framing, aspect-ratio
    presets, and eight animated backdrops with MP4 and looping GIF export.
  • Temporary image sharing through glance.sh and an opt-in local MCP companion.
  • MIT license, contributor and security guides, and macOS build validation.
  • Experimental Omarchy/Hyprland support with Wayland capture and clipboard,
    Linux dialogs/fonts, Ctrl shortcuts, and FFmpeg video helpers.
  • Release-triggered macOS ARM64 ZIP and Omarchy x86_64 Arch package builds with
    checksums attached to GitHub releases; regular CI includes video encode/decode
    checks.
  • --open, --capture-area, and --capture-screen startup options.

Changed

  • Reorganized the README around trying the app and sharing visual context, with
    separate usage, development, and architecture guides.

Known limitations

  • The macOS download supports Apple Silicon on macOS 12+. It is ad-hoc signed
    and not notarized; macOS may block opening it. Source builds use a persistent
    local development signing identity. Developer ID signing and Intel/universal
    downloads are not configured.
  • Omarchy/Hyprland support is experimental and still needs a real desktop
    acceptance pass. Animated Linux backdrops render on the CPU.
  • Save or copy before replacing an image or quitting; editable sessions are
    not persisted. OCR, scrolling capture, and automatic updates are not available.
