Multi-display fixes, reported by a customer using an external monitor. - Window highlighting now works on every display, not only the one with keyboard focus. - Full-screen capture and recording now target the display your pointer is on, so a second monitor is finally reachable. - Capture resolution now comes from the display being captured. On a Retina built-in beside a 1x external, images came out at the wrong size in both directions. - The recording timer appears on the display being recorded. - A selection dragged across the seam between two displays is captured from the screen it mostly covers, instead of an arbitrary one. Also in this update: - The three recording shortcuts in Settings now say they are Pro and open the purchase screen. Before, a free user could assign a key to them that was never actually bound, so pressing it did nothing at all. - The redaction tool is called Pixelate everywhere now, which is what it really does.

QuickShot 2.0 is built for people who write documentation. NUMBERED STEP BADGES A manual is a numbered list, and every screenshot in it carries the numbers that key back to the prose. Pick the Step tool and click: 1, 2, 3. Delete the second one and the rest renumber themselves. No more placing a text box one digit at a time, and no more redrawing every number after you insert a step. TEXT RECOGNITION IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE OCR used to read English and French and nothing else, so a Japanese or Chinese screenshot came back empty. It now follows your Mac's language, for every language Apple's on-device text engine reads. If you write documentation in your own language, this is the release where text recognition starts working for you. FIXED: SELECTION HANDLES ENDED UP IN EXPORTED IMAGES If an annotation happened to be selected when you copied or saved, the eight grey handles around it were burned into the file. They are editor furniture and they no longer leave the editor. FIXED: A NEW CAPTURE COULD DESTROY UNSAVED ANNOTATIONS Taking the next screenshot while the previous one was still half-annotated cleared its arrows, labels and redactions, with no warning and no undo, which is exactly the rhythm of documenting a workflow. Unsaved work now keeps its window, and the new capture opens beside it. FIXED: THE APP COULD LOOK LIKE IT HAD NEVER STARTED QuickShot has no Dock icon and no window; it lives in the menu bar. On a crowded menu bar, or behind a MacBook's notch, that icon can be invisible, so a first launch showed nothing at all. There is now a short first-run window telling you where the app went and which shortcuts to press, and opening QuickShot again from Launchpad or Spotlight pops its menu open even when the icon is out of reach. Reported by a customer whose diagnosis was good enough to fix it from. Feedback of that quality is always welcome.

Pin a capture on top of everything else, so a reference stays beside your work instead of behind it. Double-click it to put it away. Pixelation and the highlighter are now free. Masking a key or a name is what you reach for right before you share something, so it should not be behind a purchase. Screen recordings now carry your Mac's audio. The microphone is never used, and QuickShot's own sounds are left out. Open an image you already have — the editor was only reachable through a fresh capture until now — and send the result straight to another app with the system share sheet. The editor keeps the untouched capture for as long as the window is open: one button shows it, another discards every edit and goes back to it. Text can be set from 12 to 64 pt. QuickShot now speaks English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Simplified Chinese, and you can switch between them in Preferences without restarting. Fixed along the way - Selecting a region on a second display captured the wrong screen, and could not be started there at all. - Some default shortcuts never fired: macOS reserves those combinations for its own screenshot tools. - Granting Screen Recording permission and returning to the app left it still asking for it. - Cropping discarded your annotations, and a text label was lost unless you pressed Return. - Replacing an existing file when saving a recording destroyed the video. - Zooming softened the picture instead of showing the pixels.
