What's Changed

• Reel checks for updates at startup and every hour. The panel header shows the
  running version and turns accent when an update is waiting; click it to check
  or update.

• The hero leads with the recording timer: Ready at rest, live elapsed while
  recording, frozen when paused.

• Settings -> Media gains a Webcam device row that lists connected cameras by
  name and stores the stable /dev/v4l/by-id link. Contributed by @joelgaff.

• Microphone noise reduction is available in Settings -> Media.

• Fixes: the widget loads on Omarchy 4.0.6, countdown captures stay out of
  history, a dead save job recovers, and discarded takes trim without a full
  re-encode.

What's Changed

A tighter panel, a themed countdown, and a faster history flow.

• New compact 440 px panel with a fixed frame: the Reel/history header, recording clock, history control, and Record/Pause/Discard actions stay put while settings and takes scroll.

• Inline tabbed settings for Quick, Video, Zoom, Output, and Keys, with 1–5 shortcuts and keycap hints. The panel opens on Quick every time.

• The live preview and slow motion are gone.

• Recording state lives in the header status pill and the bar, so starting or stopping a take no longer shifts the layout.

• The countdown is a themed, non-blocking ring hosted inside the panel. It is off by default, and capture pre-roll is trimmed so saved takes start cleanly.

• History is faster: optimistic trash with fade/collapse, a compact take menu, a clear empty state, and drag-out to copy a take's video into another app.

• Notices are a floating toast with a progress bar and a dismiss button. Saves are confirmed by toast instead of placeholder rows.

• Edge-hover auto-scroll and one shared hover/keyboard cursor keep the panel usable without a mouse.

• Shortcuts use key names and open the panel through the native dispatcher.

• Added the Reel design system guide for future UI work.

What's Changed

• Manual zoom while recording: touchpad pinch, Ctrl + Alt + = / - / 0 /
  8, scroll, and arrow-key panning, capped by a 1.5x-3x depth setting.

• Zoom is a live compositor crop: monitor takes follow the pointer while window
  and area takes keep the camera detached.

• History actions: open in mpv, cut in Omacut, share, trash, copy path, and a
  0.5x slow-motion copy — with shortcuts for open and cut.

• The bar and the panel report recording, paused, and saving with icons instead
  of words.

• Shortcut documentation is now a copy-paste Hyprland block, and the README
  spells out the update flow.

• New 1600x900 marketplace preview, captured from the real panel.

What's Changed

First release: a screen recorder for the Omarchy bar.

• Pick a window, an area, or a monitor; the take records with GPU Screen
  Recorder while the bar keeps its own clock.

• Pause and resume, optional countdown, slow-motion copies, webcam overlay,
  and per-take history with thumbnails.

• Audio is checked before the picker, so a broken source is reported before a
  take is lost.

• The bar clock starts the moment the encoder launches, so a cold first take
  no longer shows a placeholder while the GPU warms up.

• Shortcuts are opt-in and written as keycodes, so they survive non-US layouts.

• A static x86_64 engine ships in the plugin: install needs no build step.

• Release 0.1.0 by Taha Sadough (@tahadx) (e355b0f)

• perf(recording): cut start and stop latency (#2) by Taha Sadough (@tahadx) (47bf3f9)
