What's new in PluckShot.

New

• Search inside a session. A new search box in every session timeline finds captures and notes as you type — it looks through capture titles, extracted text, your notes, tags, and session notes all at once. Combine it with the type pills and tag filters to zero in on exactly the moment you're after.
• Filter your sessions list. The Sessions page now has a name search plus quick All · In Progress · Ended pills (with counts), so a long list of sessions is easy to narrow down.

Improved

• Smarter search matching everywhere. Search in History, Favorites, and Sessions now matches every word of your query in any order — "broker yahoo" finds "Yahoo Token Broker" — and ignores accents, so "cafe" finds "Café".
• History search looks inside your captures. Searching History and Favorites now matches the extracted text of each capture, so you can find a capture by the words in it — not just its title, notes, or tags.

New

• Timed captures now take a plain screenshot by default. Since timed captures are perfect for grabbing an open menu or hover state after a short countdown, they now capture a plain image straight away — no extra step. Prefer to run AI on them? A new toggle in Settings → Preferences switches timed captures to Smart Capture, so the lens picker (extract, explain, summarize, compare) opens once the countdown finishes. This setting is independent of your default capture mode.

New

• Flip your session timeline order. A new toggle in any session lets you show your captures and notes newest first or oldest first. Your choice is remembered across every session, so long timelines always read the way you prefer.
• Resume a session straight from the list. Each session in your list now has a Resume button — pick up an ended session in one click without opening it first.

New

• Content-type filter pills. History, Favorites, and your Session timelines now have a row of quick filter pills — All · Screenshots · Scrolls · Video · Meetings · Smart Capture — so you can narrow a long list down to just the kind of capture you're after. Each pill shows a count, and only the types you actually have appear.

Improved

• Meetings look like media now. Meeting entries show a teal poster with a play badge instead of a plain document icon — click it to jump straight into the meeting.

Improved

• Larger thumbnails in your lists. Captures in History, Favorites, and your Session timelines now show bigger previews, so you can actually see what's in each shot at a glance instead of squinting at a tiny tile.

Improved

• Drag thumbnails straight into other apps. Captures in History, Favorites, and your Session timelines can now be dragged out as real image files — drop them into your editor, Finder, a chat, or anywhere that takes an image, instead of getting a link.

Improved

• Text now lives in a resizable box. Type and it wraps within the box on its own — drag the side handles to set the width and the text reflows to fit. Adjust the text size from the slider whenever you like, independent of the box.
• Tweak a text box the moment you finish typing. Click away and the box stays selected with its handles ready, so you can move or resize it right away without switching tools.

New

• Drag either end of a line or arrow. Grab an endpoint and move it exactly where you want it — the line keeps its thickness instead of stretching thicker or thinner as you go.
• Put arrowheads wherever you need them. Add an arrowhead to one end, both ends, or none at all — turning any arrow into a clean line and back. Pick the style before you draw, or select an existing line and change your mind anytime.

Improved

• Rounder, easier-to-grab handles. Selecting any shape now shows clean round handles in place of the old square ones.
• Draw and select right inside an outlined box or circle. Clicking inside a rectangle or ellipse now works with whatever’s under your cursor, so you can mark up the area you just framed without fighting the outline.

New

• Drag a capture out of History or Favorites. Grab the thumbnail on any capture card and drag it straight into another app — drop it into Finder, Slack, Mail, a doc, or anywhere that takes an image. No need to download it first or go hunting for the file.
• Build a combined image without leaving the app. Open a capture in the annotation editor, then drag more screenshots in from History to lay them out side by side, stacked, or in a 2×2 grid of up to four. Mark them up across the seams and save it all as one image.

New

• Share a whole meeting in a single file. Send a recorded meeting to anyone as a self-contained file they open right in their browser — no PluckShot needed. It plays the audio, shows the speaker-by-speaker transcript and the AI minutes, and lays out the visual timeline with your pinned moments. Click any line and the audio jumps to that moment.
• Choose whether to include the audio. Keep the full recording for the complete playback experience, or switch it off for a lightweight, transcript-only version that’s small enough to email anywhere. Share it straight from your Mac’s share sheet, save it, or send it on however you like.

Improved

• Meeting minutes read like a finished document. The Minutes tab now lays out clean headings, bold highlights, bullet lists, and tick-box action items, so you can take in the summary at a glance.
• The meeting timeline reads as a real conversation. The Timeline now shows the same color-coded, speaker-by-speaker bubbles as the transcript — with your pinned screenshots threaded in at the right moments — instead of one long block of text.

New

• A gallery for your captures. History and Favorites now have a gallery view alongside the list — large, uniform cards with a thumbnail of every capture — plus a toggle that remembers how you like to browse. Cards show the time of day at a glance.
• Open any capture in its own window. Click a capture to pop it open in a dedicated window with room to read the full result, see the screenshot, manage tags, and jot a note — without losing your place in the list.
• Rename anything. Give any screenshot or Smart Capture a name that means something to you — from the card or right in the capture window. Clear the name and it goes back to the automatic one.

Improved

• A clearer way to take notes. Adding a note now uses a proper text box with a clear Save, so you always know your note is kept — and it won’t be lost if you close the window mid-edit.

Improved

• Cleaner, easier-to-read results. Smart Capture explanations and summaries now display as a nicely formatted document — with clear headings, bold highlights, and tidy bullet lists — so you can take in a result at a glance. Captured code still appears in the familiar code view.
• Copy stays Markdown-ready. Hitting Copy still gives you the original Markdown, so it pastes cleanly into your notes app, docs, or wherever you keep your captures.

Improved

• Capture previews load instantly. History thumbnails now appear the moment the screen opens and stay crisp as you scroll, so browsing a large library feels effortless.
• Built to scale with your library. PluckShot now keeps a compact preview alongside each capture, so History and the Recent menu stay quick and light no matter how much you've captured.

New

• Screenshots and Smart Captures, side by side. The 7-day activity chart now plots two lines — every Smart Capture you send to AI, and every plain screenshot you take — so you can see your real activity at a glance, not just the captures you analyzed.
• Every screenshot counts, saved or not. Plain screenshots are tracked the moment you take one, whether or not you keep it — so your totals reflect how much you actually reach for PluckShot.

Improved

• Dashboard stats that tell one story. Total Captures shows your full count with a Smart-Capture-versus-screenshot breakdown, your streak counts any day you captured, Most Used names the style you lean on, and Time Saved reflects the text you pulled out with AI.

New

• Smart Capture — capture first, choose after. Grab any region with a single hotkey, then pick what AI does with it right on the result: extract the text, explain it, summarize it, or compare. Want something specific? Type your own question. You can switch between them on the same capture without grabbing it again.
• Compare two to four things side by side. Combine a few captures into one shot — or grab a single screenshot that already has them together — and get one ranked answer with a clear call on each, instead of a wall of text. Made for fantasy start/sit calls, pricing tiers, spec sheets, job offers, and any other "which one?" decision. Every comparison is saved to your history as a ranked card you can reopen anytime.
• Meeting notes now tell speakers apart. Meeting transcripts separate the other participants into distinct speakers (Speaker A, B, C…) so a group call reads as a real back-and-forth instead of one block of text. Rename any speaker and it updates everywhere — transcript, minutes, and exports — with each speaker color-coded for easy scanning.
• Sharper, cleaner meeting transcripts. Smarter on-device speech detection keeps the transcript focused on what was actually said, for clearer notes and minutes.
• Translate meetings to English. Turn on translation to get an English transcript when a meeting is spoken in another language.
• Mute your mic mid-meeting. Pause your own audio for a side conversation or a quiet moment — with a button or a hotkey — without stopping the recording.

New

• Mark up a capture before re-analyzing. Click the screenshot preview at the top of the result popup to open the annotation editor. Circle, arrow, or highlight whatever matters, save, and your changes land right back on the preview.
• Point the AI at exactly what you mean. After marking it up, hit Re-process — optionally with a question like "what's in the red box?" — and PluckShot re-runs the analysis on your annotated image, so the AI focuses on the part you circled.

New

• Combine multiple screenshots into a single image. Drag a second screenshot straight into the annotation editor — or add one from your capture history — and PluckShot arranges them side by side, stacked, or in a 2×2 grid of up to four. Drag any image to a different spot to rearrange the layout.
• One canvas, one file. Mark up arrows, text, highlights, and blur across the whole composite — even spanning the seams between images — then save it all as one file. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

New

• Open the editor automatically after a capture. Flip on a setting and the annotation editor opens the moment a screenshot or scrolling capture finishes — so you go straight to marking up instead of clicking in. Find it in Settings.
• Auto-scroll on demand. Start a scrolling capture and tap the new Auto-scroll button to let PluckShot scroll and stitch the whole page for you — no need to change your default capture mode. Available on macOS and Windows.

Improved

• Size and filename in the editor. The annotation editor's footer now shows the capture's exact pixel dimensions and its filename, so you always know what — and how big — you're marking up. Crop the image and the dimensions update on the spot.
• A roomier toolbar. Streamlined the top bar so every tool plus the Save As and Done buttons sit comfortably in a single row.

New

• Ask this meeting. Open any meeting and just ask — "what were my action items?", "what did we decide about pricing?", "draft a follow-up email." A chat bar sits at the bottom of the meeting window, and answers come back grounded in that meeting's transcript, your notes, and the minutes. Ask follow-ups in the same thread, and copy any answer with one tap. If something never came up, it tells you so instead of guessing.
• Answers that point to the moment. When an answer references a point in the meeting, it cites the timestamp — and that timestamp is a button. With "Keep meeting audio" on, tap it to jump the recording straight to that second; otherwise it scrolls the transcript to the line so you can read it in context.
• A head start. Not sure what to ask? Tap a suggestion — your action items, the key decisions, or a drafted follow-up email — and let it answer.

New

• Timestamped notes. The meeting notes pane is now a running log: type a thought, press Enter, and it pins to that exact second of the recording — then keep going, one note per thought. Notes typed before you hit record pin to the start as agenda items, and a note typed while paused holds the paused moment. Your minutes get sharper too: each note carries the time it was written, so the AI expands your shorthand against the right part of the conversation.
• Notes on the timeline. Open the meeting afterward and your notes sit on the timeline between the transcript and your pinned screenshots, right where you wrote them. Click a note's text to fix a typo after the fact — and with "Keep meeting audio" on, click its time to jump the audio straight to that moment.

Improved

• Roomier meeting window. Taller by default, and resizing the window now grows the live transcript and the notes log together instead of just one.

New

• Meeting Capture. Hit one hotkey and PluckShot records the meeting from your computer — any app, no bot joining your call. Your microphone and the meeting audio record as separate tracks, so the transcript knows what you said versus what they said. When you click Done, AI merges the transcript with your rough notes into structured minutes, saved straight to History like any capture. On macOS, system-level echo cancellation keeps your side of the transcript clean even when the meeting plays through speakers.
• Live transcript. Watch the conversation appear while you're still in it — Me/Them chat bubbles land in the meeting window seconds behind the speech, so you can glance back at what was just said without breaking the flow. The polished final transcript is generated when you finish.
• Screenshots pin to the meeting. Take a screenshot mid-meeting — your usual capture hotkey works, or use the button right in the meeting window — and it pins to that exact moment in the recording. Someone shares a slide, you grab it, and it's anchored to the second it happened. You can even mark it up on the spot — arrows, highlights, text — in the annotation editor while the meeting keeps recording, and the annotated version is what lands on the timeline.
• Meeting timeline. Open a meeting afterward to flip between the minutes and the full transcript, with every pinned screenshot laid out on a timeline of the conversation.
• Replay the meeting. Turn on "Keep meeting audio" in Settings and meetings keep their full recording — a player appears in the meeting view, clicking any transcript line jumps the audio to that exact moment, pinned screenshots get "Play from here," and the transcript highlights along as it plays. Off by default: unless you opt in, the recording is deleted the moment your transcript is ready.
• Pause and resume. Step away — or keep something off the record — by pausing mid-meeting and picking back up where you left off. The live transcript pauses with you.
• Meetings file into sessions. Choose a session as you start the meeting and the minutes, transcript, and pinned screenshots all land there together, alongside your other captures for that project.
• No setup, no keys. Transcription is included with your PluckShot account on every plan — sign in and record. Nothing to configure.
• Meetings of any length. Multi-hour recordings transcribe just as smoothly as a five-minute stand-up.
• Windows support. Meeting Capture works on Windows too, recording the meeting audio directly from the system.

Improved

• Meetings flow through everything. Minutes and transcripts show up in History, Favorites, search, and session exports just like any other capture.
• More flexible sessions. Move captures between sessions freely, and remove a capture from a session without deleting it from History.
• Clearer History. Screenshots taken during a meeting show a combined badge so you can spot them at a glance.

New

• Pinned screenshots. Pin any capture as a small floating thumbnail that stays on top while you work — a live reference you can park next to whatever you're doing. Drag it anywhere, fade it down to 20% or 50% to see what's behind it, and copy or annotate it right there. Pin straight from the result popup or a screenshot preview.
• Timed capture. Grab things that vanish the moment you click — open menus, hover states, tooltips. Pick a 3, 5, or 10-second timer and draw your region, then set up the menu or hover while the countdown runs; PluckShot captures that exact region the instant it hits zero, so it's all in the shot. A live frame shows you precisely what's being captured. Find it in the menu-bar popover, right under the capture modes.

New

• Eyedropper tool. In the annotation editor, grab the eyedropper, hover to magnify the pixels under your cursor, and click to pick that exact color. It becomes your active annotation color (and is copied to your clipboard), then drops you straight into the rectangle tool so you can keep marking up without missing a beat.

Improved

• Edit a shape after you've drawn it. Select any annotation and the toolbar now matches its color and line thickness — change either and it updates on the spot, with text size handled the same way. Adjustments undo in a single step.

New

• Send long scrolls to AI in full. Take a tall scrolling capture, hit Analyze, and PluckShot sends the whole thing to your AI provider — however long it is. Behind the scenes it splits the capture into sections and hands them over together in a single request, so you get the complete text back in one pass.

Improved

• Clearer active provider. In Settings, the AI provider you're currently using is now marked with an "Active" label and a blue highlight, so it's obvious at a glance which one is handling your captures.

New

• Screen recording. Drag to select any region of your screen and record it as an MP4 video or an animated GIF. Your screen stays live while you frame the shot, and a floating control bar gives you a running timer plus pause/resume, restart, and discard.
• GIF settings. Fine-tune resolution, frame rate, and quality, with an Optimize toggle — so you can turn a clip into a small, shareable GIF that fits in a chat message or a ticket.
• Built-in trimming. Drag the handles on the timeline to cut the start and end of any clip, scrub to the exact frame, and PluckShot re-encodes it — for both videos and GIFs.
• Clips in History and Recent. Recordings show with a play badge and duration. Open a clip from History to watch it in a larger player, or filter the menu-bar Recent tab to just your clips.
• macOS and Windows. Screen recording is available on both platforms, with hardware-accelerated encoding and everything kept on your device.

New

• Recent captures in the menu bar. The tray popover now has a Recent tab with your last 20 captures — filter by All, Shots, Scroll, or Text, drag any capture straight into another app, or jump into Annotate with one click. Screenshots and scrolling captures are kept here automatically, so you can grab one again later instead of having to re-shoot it.
• Automatic scrolling capture on Windows. Hands-free scrolling capture is now available on Windows — PluckShot scrolls the page for you and stitches the frames into one tall screenshot.

Improved

• Annotation editor opens ready to draw. It now starts on the Rectangle tool with a slightly bolder default line, so you can mark things up the moment it opens.
• Cleaner scrolling panoramas. Scrolling captures of long lists and repeated content stitch together more accurately on both macOS and Windows.

New

• Crop tool in the annotation editor. Trim a screenshot down to exactly what matters. Click Crop, drag the selection — everything outside dims so you can see what you'll keep — then apply. It's non-destructive and fully undoable.
• Open any image to annotate. Bring an existing PNG or JPEG straight into the annotation editor — from the Dashboard, the menu bar, drag-and-drop, or right-click → Open With → PluckShot. Every annotation tool applies, and you can save the result back to disk.
• Hands-free scrolling capture (macOS). Scrolling capture can now advance the page for you — start it and PluckShot scrolls and stitches the frames into one tall screenshot automatically.

New

• Automatic update checks. PluckShot now checks for new versions on launch and every four hours after that — so you don't have to remember to look. Nothing downloads until you say so.
• Version at a glance. The current version sits at the bottom of the sidebar. When an update is available, the row lights up with a Download button right there.
• Menu bar update item. The PluckShot menu bar menu shows "Download Update v…" whenever a new version is ready, so you can grab it without opening the app.

Improved

• One shared update state. Settings, the sidebar, and the menu bar all read from the same source — find an update in one place, and every surface flips together. Download progress shows up everywhere too.

New

• Copy from the screenshot preview. The floating thumbnail now has a Copy button alongside Save — one click puts the image straight on your clipboard so you can paste into Slack, Mail, Finder, Figma, or anywhere else that accepts an image.
• Default Capture Mode dropdown. Choose which mode (Extract, Explain, Debug, Summarize, Guided, Screenshot, or Scroll) fires when you press the generic capture hotkey. Set it once in Preferences and it's remembered.
• Quick Access surfaces in Preferences. The Floating Toolbar, Vertical Toolbar, and Floating Bubble each get their own toggle in Preferences. Only one can be active at a time — turning one on hides the other two.

Improved

• Floating Pill click-area matches the visible toolbar. The Pill now resizes to fit its contents exactly, so windows sitting next to it stay fully clickable — including app close buttons that used to land just under the Pill's edge.

Improved

• Stay in your tool. Draw multiple shapes back-to-back without bouncing to the select tool. Click empty canvas to draw another rectangle, ellipse, arrow, line, highlight, blur, or pencil stroke. Click an existing shape to drag or resize it. Hit Delete or Backspace to remove a selected shape from any tool.
• Smoother freehand strokes. The pencil tool was rebuilt to render with quadratic-curve smoothing and behaves like every other shape — including drag, resize, and click-to-select.
• Dashboard quick action stays in sync. The "Session Active" card on the home screen now shows up only while a session is actually running.

Fixed

• "Open in Sheets" no longer disappears on table captures. When a capture had a calendar event plus the CSV trio (Copy CSV, Save .csv, Open in Sheets), the Sheets chip was being dropped from the popup. All detected smart actions now stay visible.

Improved

• Smart action chips wrap onto a second row when needed. Rich captures with multiple actions no longer clip at the popup edge — chips flow naturally to a new line so every action is one click away.

Improved

• Session indicator in the menu bar. A small blue dot appears next to the PluckShot icon in your menu bar whenever a session is running — so you can tell at a glance, even with the main window closed.
• Session indicator in the sidebar. The Session nav item now shows a blue dot while a session is live, visible from every screen in the app.
• Session indicator in the capture popup. The pulsing dot in the popup header now lights up only when a capture is being filed into an active session, confirming at the moment of capture that the session is recording.
• Dashboard quick action adapts. The "Start Session" card on the Dashboard becomes a "Session Active · Click to end" card while a session is live, so you can end the session in one click from the home screen.

Improved

• Claude (Subscription) provider runs reliably on every install. Pick it in Providers and PluckShot automatically finds your local Claude CLI — no paths to configure, no setup steps.

Improved

• Session notes keep your line breaks. The "Add a note" field is now a multi-line editor, so pasting a bulleted list or structured notes keeps every line exactly as you wrote it. Press Enter to save, Shift+Enter for a new line.
• Editing preserves formatting too. Clicking into an existing note and editing across multiple lines no longer flattens it into a single paragraph on save.

Improved

• Unified card styling across the app. Cards and list rows in History, Favorites, Session, and Settings now share the same lighter, borderless look — so browsing, reviewing, and configuring all feel like parts of the same app.
• Lighter row backgrounds in dark mode. A slightly brighter fill makes each row read as its own surface without relying on outlines, so long lists feel calmer and less boxy.
• Tuned light mode. Matching fills and subtle borders keep the new look crisp on light backgrounds too.

New

• Add captures from History to a session. Forgot to start a session before taking a bunch of related screenshots? Click Select captures in History, pick the ones you want, and add them to a new or existing session in one step. Works with both active and ended sessions — ended-session markdown exports regenerate automatically.
• Single-capture add too. Any capture's kebab menu now includes Add to session… so you can file a one-off into a session without entering multi-select.

Fixed

• Annotations land exactly where you click. On wider screens, drawing a shape while zoomed out would appear offset from the cursor. Shapes now follow the pointer precisely at any zoom level.
• The full screenshot is always reachable. Large captures no longer clip at the left edge — you can now scroll to every part of the image, and smaller captures stay neatly centered in the editor.

Improved

• Drawing tools stay selected. After placing a rectangle, ellipse, arrow, line, highlight, blur, or text, your tool stays active so you can keep adding more without clicking back to it every time.

Improved

• Get straight to Settings when you need a provider. If you trigger an AI capture without a provider configured, PluckShot now shows a clean in-app prompt with a single click that takes you directly to the Providers section in Settings.
• Hotkeys stay responsive while the prompt is open. You can still take a plain screenshot or use other shortcuts while the prompt is showing — the window no longer holds up the rest of the app.

Improved

• Granting Screen & System Audio Recording is now seamless. When macOS prompts to relaunch PluckShot after you grant permission, the app now restarts cleanly and comes back ready to capture — no more stuck tray icon or needing to quit manually.
• Auto-update install is more reliable. When PluckShot installs an update, the app now exits cleanly so the new version takes over on the next launch — particularly noticeable on Windows.
• Restart button is double-click safe. Tapping Restart PluckShot twice quickly no longer spawns duplicate processes.

New

• Download the original image from any saved capture. History, Favorites, and Session detail now include a Download image action in the capture menu, so you can save the source screenshot or scrolling capture as a PNG without recapturing it.

Improved

• Less clutter in History. The floating plus button has been removed from the History page so the screen stays focused on reviewing, searching, and organizing captures.

New

• Dedicated Permissions section in Settings. See the status of both macOS permissions PluckShot needs — Accessibility (so capture shortcuts work everywhere, including when an app has a menu open) and Screen & System Audio Recording (so PluckShot can capture your screen) — at a glance, with one-click links straight to the right System Settings panel.
• Live status updates. Grant a permission in System Settings and PluckShot reflects it immediately — the status pill flips to Granted without restarting the app.
• Auto-jump when something needs attention. Open the main window and PluckShot lands you on the Permissions section if anything's missing, so you never have to hunt for what to do next.

Improved

• Friendlier permission flow on first launch. When PluckShot needs a permission, it explains why up front and walks you straight to the right toggle — no surprise system dialogs hiding behind your other windows.
• One-click restart when Accessibility just got granted. A clear Restart PluckShot button appears the moment your shortcuts are ready to come online — no need to quit from the tray and relaunch yourself.

New

• Analyze button on the screenshot preview. Take a screenshot in Screenshot mode or a long scrolling capture, hover the preview, and you'll see a new Analyze button under Save. One click sends the image through your active AI provider and drops the extracted text in the capture popup like any other capture — no need to recapture in a different mode.
• Scrolling screenshots now flow to AI in one click. Capture a long recipe, a tall spreadsheet, or a full documentation page with Scroll mode, then hit Analyze to pull the text out of the whole stitched result in one shot. Works with annotated screenshots too — your markup rides along into the AI.

New

• Shortcuts work while menus and dropdowns are open. Press your capture shortcut any time — while a menu-bar popover is showing, a right-click menu is open, an autocomplete dropdown is visible, or any native menu is on screen — and PluckShot captures exactly what you see, menu and all. You no longer have to close the thing you want to screenshot before screenshotting it.
• One-time permission prompt on first launch. macOS will ask for Accessibility access so shortcuts can fire through menus. PluckShot only reacts to the specific shortcuts you configure — it never records or transmits your keystrokes. If the prompt doesn't appear, Settings will show a banner with a direct link to grant access.

New

• Day grouping in History and Favorites. Captures now sit under day headers — Today, Yesterday, weekday names for the past week, then dates after that. Each header shows the count for the day so you can see at a glance how busy a stretch was.

Improved

• Type and tags share a single line. The capture type badge and tag chips now flow together right under the title, instead of stacking into a separate row. Less visual noise on every card.
• Timestamp moved to the right edge. The relative time sits next to the three-dot menu now, so the title and tags lead and the time stays out of the way until you look for it.
• Roomier spacing. Tighter rhythm between the title, chips, and day headers makes long lists easier to scan.

New

• One click, every date. When a screenshot contains multiple dates — a meeting notes page, a project brief, a syllabus — the "Add to Calendar" chip now shows how many events were detected and opens a picker so you can add them all at once. Checkboxes for individual events, plus an Add All shortcut.
• Smarter date detection. The AI now picks up deadlines and "by [day]" action items as calendar events, not just explicit meeting times. A line like "Sarah: Finalize the landing page copy by Wednesday" gets its own chip right alongside "Next meeting: April 1 at 2:00 PM."
• Roomier popup. The capture popup is a bit wider and taller so long extractions breathe and the smart action chips have more room to line up.

New

• Export captures and sessions as plain text. A new Export as Text option joins PDF, Word, and HTML in the card menu on History, Favorites, and Session detail, and in the Export ▾ dropdown on the session page. Output is clean, markdown-free text — ready to paste anywhere a code fence or bolded heading would get in the way.

New

• Open in Sheets. Any capture with tabular data now has an "Open in Sheets" smart action chip. One click uploads the CSV to your Google Drive as a native Google Sheet and opens it in your browser. Uses Drive's non-sensitive drive.file scope — PluckShot can only see files it creates.
• Settings → Integrations. New section in Settings for managing Google Calendar and Google Sheets connections side-by-side. Shows "Connected" with a green indicator dot or "Not connected," plus a single-click Connect/Disconnect button for each.
• Smart action chips on expanded cards. Previously only the capture popup showed action chips. Now History, Favorites, and Session detail cards all surface the full smart action chip set when expanded — Call, Email, Open Link, Open in Maps, Add to Calendar, Copy Code, Open in Sheets, and more.

Fixed

• Add to Calendar now actually opens the event. After creating a calendar event, PluckShot now opens the event in your browser automatically — matching the Open-in-Sheets pattern.
• Calendar "unverified app" warning removed. Switched Calendar to the non-sensitive calendar.app.created scope so OAuth consent is a clean single-scope flow. Events go into a dedicated "PluckShot" secondary calendar that shows up in your Google Calendar sidebar.
• Annotated screenshots no longer lost on drag-and-drop. Dragging an annotated screenshot into another app now preserves the annotations instead of reverting to the original image.

New

• AI-generated tags on every capture. PluckShot now adds 2–3 contextual tags to each capture automatically — a Python error gets python, fastapi, authentication; a recipe screenshot gets recipe, cooking, italian. Tags appear as small pills on every capture card.
• Add your own tags. A + Add tag chip on every capture opens an inline input with autocomplete from your existing tags. Build your own taxonomy as you go. Up to 20 tags per capture.
• Filter by tag in History, Favorites, and Session Detail. Click any tag pill to filter the list to captures with that tag. Click a second tag to narrow further (AND semantics). The active filter chip strip at the top shows what you're filtering by, with a one-click clear all.
• Search and tags work together. Type in the search bar while tag filters are active and the two combine — only captures matching both the text and every active tag are shown.
• Format-aware filtering. The detected content type (CSV, JSON, Python, etc.) is added to the tag list automatically, so you can filter to "show me every CSV I've captured" without typing anything.
• Smart Tagging toggle. A new switch in Preferences lets you turn AI tagging on or off. When off, no new tags are generated, but any existing tags on prior captures are preserved and still filterable.
• Removable per pill. Every tag has an ✕ to drop it from a single capture without affecting the rest of your library.

Improved

• CSV auto-detection in Extract mode. When a screenshot contains tabular data (rows and columns), Extract now returns clean CSV instead of wrapping it in a markdown code fence. No more manually unwrapping quotes.
• Format dictionary. Captures now track the detected format (CSV, JSON, Python, etc.) as a first-class field. The badge on each card reflects this, and the format is surfaced as a filter in History and Favorites.
• AI-declared content type. The model now explicitly declares the content type via a <content_type> tag instead of relying on brittle keyword heuristics. Catches more edge cases (shell output mislabeled as code, CSV mislabeled as text) than the old detector.
• Model tracking per capture. Every capture now records which AI model produced it. Shown on expanded cards alongside processing time.
• Simpler reprocess panel. Reprocess UI consolidated — fewer clicks to re-run a capture in a different mode.

Redesigned

• The session detail timeline now matches the lean-card layout used in History and Favorites. Each capture in the timeline shows its thumbnail, title, badge, action row, and three-dot menu — the same way it looks in your History list. A small left rail labels each capture with its sequence number (#1, #2, #3) and timestamp.

Improved

• The How sessions work helper now also explains that you can type timestamped notes into the input bar at the bottom while a session is running.
• Long session annotation notes now have a max height with internal scrolling, so a wall of text doesn't push the rest of the timeline off the screen.
• The Generate Summary input row no longer pushes the Export button out of alignment when it appears.

Fixed

• Editing a note and then clicking another card's three-dot menu now opens that menu on the first click. Previously it took two clicks because the timeline was rebuilding itself in the background.

Improved

• Click any screenshot preview to instantly reveal its Save, Annotate, and Close buttons — especially helpful after you've dragged a preview into another app.

Improved

• Every session page now has a friendly How sessions work helper at the top that explains the basics in one sentence: while a session is running, any screenshot you take is added to it automatically, and when a session ends, new screenshots stop being added. Click the helper to collapse it once you've got the hang of it — click again anytime you need a refresher.
• The Resume button on ended sessions is now labeled Resume Session so it's obvious what happens when you click it.

Redesigned

• History is now a lean list of your captures. Each row shows a thumbnail, title, type, and time at a glance. Click a row to expand it inline and see the full content, note, and actions — only one row is open at a time, so a long history stays scannable. Yellow icons next to the timestamp tell you which captures have a note or are favorited.
• Favorites uses the same lean-row layout, with a search bar that filters by title or note text. Click the star to remove a capture from favorites — the row leaves the list automatically.
• Sessions list rows are now click-anywhere. The crowded row of action buttons is gone — click a session to open it, where Resume, Export, and Delete have always lived.

Improved

• The main app window opens larger by default, giving every screen more breathing room.

Fixed

• Dragging a screenshot preview into another app now properly clears the preview's hover overlay.

New

• Add a freeform note to any capture from History, Favorites, or the Session timeline — click Add note on the card, type, click out to save.
• Notes follow the capture everywhere: edit in History and it updates in Favorites and any Session that contains it.
• History search now matches note text, not just titles.
• Exports (PDF, Word, HTML, Notes App) include notes when present.

Fixed

• The screenshot preview's hover overlay no longer stays stuck after dragging the image out to Finder or another app.

New

• Click any capture thumbnail in Sessions, History, or Favorites to open it in the annotation editor — mark it up with arrows, text, highlights, or blur, then save back in place.
• Works on AI captures too: open Show capture from the card menu, then click the preview to annotate.
• Favorites now has full parity with History — screenshot thumbnails, context menu, export options, and re-process.

Fixed

• Screenshot-mode captures now display their thumbnail in the session timeline instead of an empty code block.

New

• Full documentation page at pluckshot.io/docs covering every feature.
• The in-app Documentation menu now opens the online docs.

Improved

• The Floating Toolbar logo badge now flips on hover to reveal the mode selector.

A brand new system for mouse-first users who don't want to memorize hotkeys.

New

• Tray Popover — an expanded left-click menu on the tray icon, with a visual mode grid and keyboard navigation.
• Floating Toolbar — an always-on-top horizontal pill with buttons for every capture mode.
• Floating Vertical Toolbar — the same toolbar rotated 90 degrees for sidebar-style placement on wide monitors.
• Floating Bubble — a minimal 52-pixel blue circle you can click to capture instantly in your armed mode.
• All four Quick Access surfaces can be toggled from the tray menu. Only one floating surface is visible at a time.
• Redesigned Dashboard KPI cards with a cleaner stacked layout.

Fixed

• Missing tray icon in some packaged builds.

Improved

• Scroll capture stability and alignment.
• Redesigned screenshot preview.
• Annotation editor polish across the board.

Two major features: a full-featured annotation editor and a scrolling capture mode for content that extends beyond the visible screen.

New

• Annotation Editor — accessible from any screenshot preview, with 10 tools: select, rectangle, ellipse, arrow, line, text, pencil, highlighter, numbered markers, and blur/pixelate for redacting sensitive content.
• Zoom controls and fit-to-window for pixel-perfect annotation work.
• Live color picker and stroke-width slider in the top toolbar.
• Scroll Capture — capture long web pages and documents beyond the visible viewport. PluckShot auto-scrolls through the content and stitches the frames together into one tall image. Powered by the macOS Vision framework.
• Switched all icons to Phosphor Icons for a more consistent look across the app.

Fixed

• Scroll capture overlay alignment and stitching artifacts.

Fixed

• Silent error handling across the app — errors now surface in logs instead of disappearing.
• Windows logging reliability improvements.

New

• Screenshot Mode — plain screen captures with a floating preview and no AI processing, for when you just need a quick screenshot.
• Google Calendar integration — Smart Actions can now create calendar events directly from dates, times, and meetings detected in your captures.

Improved

• Native file drag-and-drop for captured screenshots.
• Dismiss animation for the floating preview.
• Square preview layout.

Improved

• Additional session management features.
• Tray icon redesign for better visibility.

Improved

• Rename sessions inline with a pencil icon indicator — no more context menus.

Fixed

• Increased default window height so dashboard action cards are visible without scrolling.

Improved

• Light theme redesigned with a cool neutral zinc palette.
• New dark logo variant for the light theme.
• Unified blue accent color across both themes.

Improved

Fixed

• Support menu behavior.

Improved

• Security hardening across error handling, file permissions, and log sanitization.
• XSS protection in capture result rendering.
