Sheltie v1.2.0

Check for Updates

Sheltie can now update itself. Sheltie → Check for Updates… looks for a new version, and if one exists, offers to download and install it, then restart. Checks are manual — Sheltie never looks for updates on its own.

Restarting goes through the same unsaved-changes protection as quitting, so an update can't discard work in progress.

This is the first release to ship the updater, which means v1.1.0 cannot see it. Update once by hand — download the DMG below or run brew upgrade --cask sheltie — and later versions will arrive through Check for Updates.

Copy, paste, and duplicate

Board content now travels through the system clipboard, so Cut, Copy, Paste, and Duplicate work from the Edit menu, the node context menu, and the usual shortcuts (⌘X / ⌘C / ⌘V / ⌘D) — including between document windows.

• Pasting places content FigJam-style: repeated pastes cascade, and content pasted while its source is off screen lands in view rather than somewhere you have to hunt for
• Copying a selection brings along any arrows between the nodes you selected
• Hold Option while dragging a node to duplicate it. The original stays put with its arrows attached, and the copy follows your cursor
• Web page nodes never land on top of each other; a pasted or duplicated group slides clear as a unit, keeping its internal layout

Fixes

• Screenshot cache pruning never actually ran, so cached page images accumulated indefinitely. It now runs at launch as intended.

Other changes

Updated to Tauri 2.11.5, Vite 7, and Vitest 4, clearing 13 security advisories in the toolchain.

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

Sheltie v1.1.0

Highlights

• Open .sheltie files from Finder: double-clicking a file (or dropping it onto the Dock icon) now opens it directly. When a pristine untitled window is the only thing open, it is replaced instead of leaving an empty window behind.
• Smarter window placement: new document windows cascade from the frontmost window, and a window that replaces an untitled one inherits its frame.
• Fit-to-board on open: documents now open at a zoom level that shows the whole board (capped at 100%), instead of always opening at 100% anchored to the world origin.
• Homebrew install: Sheltie can now be installed with brew install --cask ryonakae/tap/sheltie.

Other changes

• Dependency updates.

Sheltie v1.0.0

The first release of Sheltie.

Sheltie is a macOS app that arranges live web pages on an infinite canvas, so you can review a whole site the way you would review artboards in a design tool. It sits somewhere between a browser and a design tool: zoom out to check spacing, typography, and color across screens, and zoom in to work with any page directly.

Highlights

• Live pages on a board: every page is a native WebKit webview you can scroll and click, the same as in a browser
• Zoom out to review: pan and zoom across the board to compare screens at a glance
• Flow mapping: connect pages with arrows and annotate with sticky notes and text
• .sheltie files: save boards as files you can track in Git and reopen later
• MCP server: let coding agents like Claude Code read the board, drive pages, and take screenshots

See the README for details.
