v0.4.3
Kashot v0.4.3
✨ Annotate your recordings
New tray item — Annotate last recording. Kashot opens your newest clip in the full annotation editor (arrows, text, shapes, highlights, blur). Hit Save and the drawing is burned over the whole clip into a *_annotated.mp4 copy — audio untouched, original file untouched. Ctrl+C / Pin inside the session give you an annotated still of the frame instead.
🫥 The REC panel stays out of your videos
The floating REC • timer • STOP panel no longer shows up inside the recording:
- Windows 10 2004+ / 11 — the panel excludes itself from screen capture (
WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE); you still see it and can click STOP, the video never shows it. Older Windows builds record without the panel instead of capturing a black box. - macOS — the panel opts out of capture sharing (
NSWindowSharingNone). - Linux/X11 — X11 has no capture-exclusion API, so the panel is skipped while recording; stop from the tray menu.
🔧 Fixes
install.shnow installs the bundled pulse-enabled ffmpeg next to the binary — recording and conversion work out of the box for one-liner installs (previously the script discarded it).- Website + README swept to shipped reality: MSI is the Windows download (it self-updates),
.dmgimages for both Mac chips, AppImage/snap commands, and the screen-recording + annotate features are finally on the feature grid.
