Rewisp 0.25.0 — cleaner capture, and the window opens when you open it

Rewisp was reading parts of your screen twice.

To catch small text, Rewisp reads the screen once whole and again in quarters. Where those overlapped it was keeping both readings, so captured text came out like "Finder Finder File File Edit View Go Go Window Window". This affected around 6 in 10 captures, which wasted space, cluttered search results, and made answers work from messier text than they should have.

It now keeps the better reading and discards the duplicate.

The menu bar is no longer captured. Every single capture used to begin with the app's menus, the clock and the battery percentage. None of that is ever what you're looking for, and "File Edit View Window Help" matches every capture you have while telling search nothing.

Both changes mean less clutter stored and better answers from here on. Existing memories are unaffected.

Opening Rewisp now opens Rewisp. Clicking it in Finder, Spotlight or the Dock used to do nothing visible, since it already lived in the menu bar — most confusing right after an update, when it reopens itself and you're left looking for the window that explains what changed. It opens the dashboard now. It stays quiet when your Mac starts it at login.
