Capturo 0.22.0
Capturo 0.22.0
Windows and macOS artifacts are both attached. The Windows pair was packaged separately on a
Windows 11 x64 host, since Windows packaging cannot run from a macOS host. Windows users can take
this release; the macOS build carries the Gatekeeper caveat described below.
Copy text now works on macOS
Text extraction was Windows-only, because recognition ran through Windows.Media.Ocr. macOS now
has its own local recognizer: Apple's Vision framework, in a small helper alongside the app.
It keeps every guarantee the Windows path has. Recognition happens on your machine — no image is
uploaded, no model is downloaded, no temporary screenshot is written, and no network connection is
opened. It needs no permission of its own, so Copy text raises nothing new. And unlike Windows
there is no language pack to install: 30 recognition languages ship with macOS, so the "install
a language pack" message can never appear on a Mac.
As on Windows, Copy text reads the final selection — crop, annotations, and privacy effects
included — so text you hid behind Blur or Pixelate stays hidden.
Measured on Apple Silicon: a 3024×1964 capture with 40 lines of text was recognized exactly, in
about 1.2 seconds.
New default shortcuts
| Action | Was | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot | Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+2 |
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+7 |
| GIF | Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+3 |
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+8 |
| Color picker | Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+4 |
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+9 |
Shift-Cmd-3 through Shift-Cmd-6 belong to macOS — they are its own screenshot and recording
shortcuts. Capturo's GIF default sat on "screenshot selection to file" and the color picker on
"screenshot and recording options", so on a Mac those two defaults were fighting the system
instead of starting a capture. Nothing in the 7/8/9 range is claimed by macOS or Windows.
Your existing shortcuts are not touched. Whatever is saved in your settings stays bound; only a
fresh install or an explicit Reset picks up the new values. If you are upgrading on a Mac and
your GIF shortcut is still Cmd+Shift+3, press Reset on the GIF tab to escape the collision.
Settings
Every tab now leads with its shortcut. Capture and GIF previously listed theirs last while Color
picker listed it first, so the one control every tab has in common sat in a different place on each.
macOS
Capturo-0.22.0-arm64.dmg and Capturo-0.22.0-arm64-mac.zip are Apple Silicon only. Intel
Macs are not covered by this release.
will refuse to open it after download, typically reporting "Capturo is damaged and can't be
opened" — that is Gatekeeper's response to an un-notarized download, not a corrupted file. macOS
also ties the Screen Recording permission to the exact build, and an ad-hoc signature cannot hold
that grant, so screen capture may not work at all on a machine that downloads this. A signed,
notarized build remains the fix and the blocker for supported macOS releases.
Windows
Built on a Windows 11 x64 host. Capturo-Setup-0.22.0-x64.exe is the installer;
Capturo-Portable-0.22.0-x64.exe needs no install. Copy text and HDR-correct capture continue
to run through the native Windows helper.
If you are upgrading, your existing shortcuts are untouched — the new 7/8/9 defaults apply only to
a fresh install or to Reset in Settings.
Windows binaries are not code-signed. Capturo has no Authenticode certificate, so SmartScreen
shows an unknown-publisher warning on first run. Verify the checksums below before trusting a
download.

Local rebuilds will not reproduce these digests. electron-builder embeds build timestamps, so
packaging is not byte-reproducible; a differing digest is not evidence of a source difference.
Verification
173 automated tests, typecheck, and the production build pass. The packaged build was installed from
the DMG on macOS 26.2 / Apple Silicon and completed the full Copy text path — app, helper, and the
real system clipboard — with the bundle passing codesign --verify --deep --strict.
The Windows build was packaged and checked on Windows 11 x64: both executables report product
version 0.22.0, and the packaged app registers every shortcut it is bound to. Note that an existing
install keeps its saved bindings, so upgrading does not move you onto 7/8/9.
