Screen Studio changelog

Updated 2026-09-02 · v0.2.10

Screen Studio updates itself: it checks on launch, and when there is something new you get a macOS notification plus a small badge on the menu bar icon — one click to upgrade. This page records what changed.

v0.2.9

• Tabbed Settings window. General, Recording, Screenshots, Shortcuts, License — instead of one endlessly scrolling list.
• Screenshot library. Browse what you have captured inside the app, reopen a shot to mark it up or drop it into the stitch tray.
• Anonymous usage statistics. The app sends action counters so we know which features get used — no screen content, no file names, and one checkbox turns it off. Details on the privacy page.

v0.2.7

• Export dialog. Pick MP4, MOV or GIF; original / 1080p / 720p; 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:3 framing; mute the audio; choose where it lands, with a percentage and a cancel button. See how to export a GIF.
• Per-display selection overlay. Region dragging, the recording-area indicator and the annotation layer now behave correctly on multi-monitor setups — one overlay per display.
• Countdown, pause, discard and a floating control bar, together with the webcam bubble, microphone picker and keystroke overlay.
• Screenshots: self-timer and full markup. Wait 3 / 5 / 10 seconds; arrows, boxes, ellipses, pen, highlighter, text, auto-incrementing number badges, blur redaction and crop. See the screenshot and markup guide.
• The stitch tray survives quitting the app, and you can drag or paste images in from outside.
• Redo for the on-screen annotation layer, plus a first-launch permission walkthrough.
• Settings are remembered between launches. Capture mode, zoom level, backdrop, webcam, audio, image format.

v0.2.5

• A "cancel everything" shortcut (⌥⌘0). Stuck in a region overlay or the annotation layer? One key returns the Mac to normal.
• Fixed a bug where only the last-registered shortcut worked.

v0.2.3

• A shortcut per mode. ⌥⌘1–⌥⌘3 to record full screen / region / window, ⌥⌘4–⌥⌘6 to capture — they fire immediately, no panel needed.
• Update notices as a macOS notification plus a badge on the menu bar icon.

v0.2.2

• Display name changed to "7 Screen Studio".

v0.2.1

First public release, signed with a Developer ID and notarized.

• Real-time auto-zoom that follows the cursor and your clicks, and zooms back out when you stop. Set the zoom level to 1.0× to switch it off entirely.
• Record the full screen, a region or a single window, pick which display, with a persistent border showing the recorded area.
• Backdrops, padding, rounded corners and shadow, plus a synthetic cursor that scales with the zoom and ripples on click.
• System audio and microphone, synchronised to the ScreenCaptureKit clock.
• Multi-clip timeline editor: split, cut, duplicate, drag to reorder, trim edges, undo/redo, step frame by frame.
• An annotation layer you draw straight onto the screen you are recording: arrows, boxes, pen, highlighter, text and stickers.
• Screenshots with a direct selection overlay, a floating card after capture, markup and a stitching editor.
• Auto-update through Sparkle and remappable global shortcuts.
