New in WireView 1.4: - Device margins: Although not a true device frame, margins give your preview a little breathing room around the edges, with device-specific corner radii where known. Toggle margins from General settings, the View menu, or by clicking the preview. You can now also add a margins toggle through Customize Toolbar. - Added support for uneven display corners for the iPhone Duo. - You can choose the preview scale from the menu bar window's toolbar. Enhanced: - You can drag snapshots from WireView into even more places, including the terminal (for Codex/Claude Code) and Chromium-based apps. - Configurable Space bar shortcut: Space toggles device margins by default. In General settings, you can change it to do nothing, copy a screenshot, save a screenshot, show Save As, or start/stop recording. - Improved cropping: Press K instead of Command-K to toggle crop mode, and Escape to leave it. Drag anywhere along an edge to resize the crop. - Reorganized settings: Settings have been broken up into tabs, with a shortcut to more settings from the welcome screen. - Capture metadata: Screenshots and recordings now preserve more capture information, including timestamps and available device details. - Device responsiveness state is shown in the sidebar. If a connected device goes to sleep or stops responding, a lock icon will appear next to it. - If you have multiple devices connected when launching WireView, the preview will default to the first device with a responsive connection. This is useful if you have multiple phones connected and one is locked. Fixed: - Safer saving: Failed or cancelled saves retain your screenshot or recording so you can retry. Automatic saves avoid overwriting existing files, and saved-folder handling is more reliable. - Safer quitting: WireView asks what to do with an active capture and waits for saving to finish before quitting. This build also fixes an issue that could leave Quit disabled or leave the app hanging while trying to quit. - Better recording recovery: Improved recovery of interrupted recordings and completed segments. An optional notification lets you find recovered recordings without automatically opening Finder. - More reliable recording: Improved handling of rotation, changing capture dimensions, missing frames, audio gaps, and devices disconnecting or switching during a recording. - More responsive previews: Reduced work during live preview, screenshot capture, cropping, and device switching. Improved recovery when a device’s capture stream stops responding. - Improved device identification when multiple devices are connected. - Preview and Live Text fixes: Improved window sizing, crop and text-overlay placement, and handling of late Live Text results after switching devices or dismissing the tool. - Fixed the “Open in…” application picker appearing empty or failing to open. - Fixes an issue where the device icons might not reflect the actual device's model.

A big reliability-and-polish release. WireView holds up better against the messy parts of AVFoundation, recovers instead of losing recordings, keeps an eye on unattended sessions, and now speaks a lot more languages. - Capture errors actually surface now. A failed screenshot, recording, save, or copy-to-clipboard shows an alert telling you what went wrong instead of nothing happening and you only finding out later. - A failed recording no longer disappears. If WireView can't combine the recording into a single file at the end, it keeps every clip, moves them out of the temp folder, and reveals them in Finder. - Fixed a hard crash when recording started before the video was ready. Hitting record right after connecting (before the device's video format settled) could throw an AVFoundation exception that took the whole app down. It now fails with an alert instead. (AVFoundation is still a mess but at least it's not MY mess.) - Detects the iOS "stuck and not sending frames" bug. Sometimes a connected, unlocked device shows up in the sidebar but never streams (the tell: your status bar isn't showing 9:41). WireView now shows an overlay suggesting a phone restart and disables the recording buttons instead of crashing. - Fixed a regression where copying in Crop mode captured the full screen instead of just the crop region. - Mute the preview's audio passthrough with a button (keyboard shortcut M). This only mutes the live preview. Recording audio is unaffected. - New setting (off by default) for how long WireView waits before disconnecting the session once its window goes inactive. Useful if you keep your device plugged in but don't want it in capture mode all the time. - "You still there?" reminders let you know when a recording keeps running unattended, with proper notification-permission handling. - If AMFI is disabled on your Mac, macOS silently refuses camera access and WireView used to just look broken. It now detects that and tells you to re-enable AMFI and restart. - WireView is localized in German, Spanish (Spain, Latin America, and US), French (France and Canada), Italian, Japanese, Russian, Turkish, and Simplified Chinese, including all the error messages, recovery prompts, and alerts. - "Screen" is now "Screenshot" throughout the strings (Copy Screenshot, Save Screenshot, Save Screenshot As, Open Screenshot in). - Clarified the camera-permission explanation and tidied up copy throughout.

Fixes a regression where copying in Crop mode captured the full screen instead of the crop region.

- Recording duration is now shown in the menu bar while a recording is in progress. - New "You still there?" notifications — WireView can now alert you if a recording is running while the app hasn't been used for a while. Off by default, enable in Settings. - Right-click the menu bar item for quick actions without opening the main window. - Device picker icons now reflect the orientation and generation of your connected iPhone or iPad. - Option to automatically copy screen captures to your clipboard when saving. Off by default, enable in Settings. - Feedback contact link added to Settings. - "Open Radars" section added to Settings for transparency around known issues. - Fixed an audio sync bug where playback would drift after a period of silence. - Fixed two crash sources related to hover detection and concurrency. - Fixed a bug where enabling "Hide in Dock" in Settings would send the app's windows to the background. There's a brief flicker, but the windows stay put. - Added missing translations.

This build is mostly internal refactoring, but several real behavioral changes snuck in. ## Bug fixes - Fixed a crash when quitting WireView if you had previously used Copy Screen. The clipboard now properly releases on quit. - Fixed "Open in WireView" in the menu bar window — clicking it now reliably brings the window to the front rather than just opening it behind other windows. - Fixed spurious recording interruptions that could occur when your device's audio format changed (e.g. plugging in headphones while recording). - Updated the "Open System Settings" deep link on the camera permissions screen to use the correct URL on macOS 15+ - Not really a bug fix but the WireView binary is now about 130KB smaller. I know everyone was clamoring for this, and I’m just giving the people what they want. ## Behavior changes worth testing - If you switch devices while a recording is in progress, WireView now stops and saves the current recording before switching. Previously this could produce a corrupted or lost recording. Try: start a recording on device A, then switch to device B in the device picker. - If your configured save folder becomes inaccessible (e.g. an external drive that's been ejected), WireView now falls back to a Save As panel rather than silently saving to Downloads. - The crop overlay dismiss button is now labeled "Exit Crop Mode" instead of "Disable Crop" to match the menu bar item. - Zoom In / Zoom Out in the View menu are now disabled when no device is connected.

- New: Cropping and capture regions. Has this ever happened to you? You just wanna capture a g dang tiny detail but you have to record the whole darn tootin screen! NO MORE. Hit Command+K in the main window. - New: Capturing and recording screens plays the system default sound effects for feedback. This can be disabled in WireView settings or, alternatively, by removing your ears from your body. - New: Capturing will flash the device preview as additional feedback. This cannot be disabled for now, but share feedback if this bugs you enough to the point where you need a toggle. - New: If you live on the edge, you can now join the WireView beta program from settings. If you’re living on the edge and you don’t care for it, you can go back to the stable build from settings now, too. Known issues: - Translation is not complete for the new features. - Privacy permission strings are not translated, either. - Sometimes, the app will lock up when quitting and you’ll have to force quit.
