Snaps 1.0.2

What's new

• Annotation editor. Mark up a capture right after taking it, with arrows, text and blur. Thanks to @lafraia in #1!
  • Double-click a preview or a gallery card, or click its new ✏️ button, to open the editor.
  • To open every capture there automatically, turn on Settings → After Capture → Open in the editor.
  • Tools: Select (V), Arrow (A), Text (T) and Blur (B), with seven colors and three sizes. Shift snaps arrows to 45° and keeps blur boxes square.
  • Blur pixelates before softening, so the hidden text can't be recovered.
  • ⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z undo and redo, ⌘C copies, and Done (⌘↩) saves the annotations into the capture at full resolution. The preview, the gallery and drag and drop then all use the annotated version.
  • Closing without Done keeps your marks as an editable draft until you quit Snaps.
• Settings: "Dismiss after" is now a menu, so it no longer wraps onto three lines.
• Developers: building from source works with just the Command Line Tools again.

Snaps 1.0.1

What's new

• One-drag Screen Recording setup. On first launch Snaps opens the Screen & System Audio Recording settings and docks a slim glass pill under the window. Drag the pill into the list, flip the switch, and hit Relaunch. There's no more hunting for the + button.
• The setup pill never steals your keyboard, so the macOS password prompt works normally.
• A proper installer window. The DMG opens to a branded window: drag Snaps onto Applications and you're done.
• Set Up Screen Recording is available any time from the menu bar popover and Settings.

Install

1. Download Snaps.dmg below, open it, and drag Snaps into Applications.
2. Launch Snaps and drag it into the Screen Recording list when the pill appears. Switch it on and relaunch.
