Buffer v1.4 adds fast, private, on‑device image text extraction and a calmer reading experience.

Features

  • Image OCR: Extract text from any image in your clipboard with Apple’s on‑device Vision framework (offline and secure).
  • Smart Persistence: Once OCR is run on an image, its text is saved and instantly available next time.
  • Clean Reader: Minimal, borderless text view with refined system typography for distraction‑free reading.
  • Smart Copy: Select any part of the extracted text, press Cmd+C, and Buffer saves that selection to history.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Stable Navigation: Detail pane no longer flickers or loses selection when new clipboard items appear.
  • Toolbar Polish: OCR moved into the detail toolbar as a text.viewfinder icon alongside Bookmark and Delete.
