Changelog

Public release notes focused on real user-facing changes, fixes, and launch-ready improvements.

v1.0.10Current public release2026-09-10
  • Blur, inverse blur and one-click privacy blur now apply at full strength in the exported image, matching exactly what you see on the canvas when you copy, save or drag a capture out
  • Blur is stronger overall, and applies reliably every time. In the rare case a blur cannot be drawn, the area is covered completely rather than left visible
  • Automatic copy-to-clipboard is now reliable even when another application is briefly using the clipboard, so a new capture is always ready to paste
  • A capture can now be pasted straight into a folder in File Explorer, named to match the capture rather than a generic name
  • Ghost Tray stays visible and on top of other applications, returns properly after a cancelled capture, and follows the main window between monitors
  • Ghost Tray thumbnails now show the whole capture, including shapes and text placed near the edges
  • You can drag an image into the Ghost Tray by dropping it anywhere on the tray, and the slide-out is smoother
  • Snipper no longer closes unexpectedly when opening an image file it cannot read
  • Temporary copies of captures are cleared when you exit, and removed completely when you uninstall
v1.0.92026-07-31
  • Fixed a multi-monitor capture issue: on setups where displays use different scaling levels (for example a 150% laptop screen next to a 100% external monitor), a region snip could grab extra area past the right and bottom edges of your selection. Snips now match exactly what you drew, on every display
v1.0.82026-06-25
  • Drag-and-drop into Microsoft Teams, Slack, Word, and Outlook is now reliable, with no more 'files couldn't be uploaded' errors when sharing a capture
  • Ghost Tray can now dock on the left or right from a quick switch in the top toolbar
  • Ghost Tray auto-hide is smoother and shows a discoverable handle so the tray is easy to find again
  • The capture crosshair is now high-contrast so it stays visible on white and light screens
  • Fixed the Ghost Tray spilling onto a neighbouring monitor in multi-screen setups
v1.0.72026-06-20
  • Ghost Tray now follows the correct monitor when the main window straddles two screens
  • Fixed a memory leak when drawing or moving blur annotations on large screenshots
  • Hotkey re-registers automatically after sleep, resume, and Windows lock/unlock
  • New optional 'Start with Windows' setting so the capture shortcut is always ready
  • Default capture hotkey changed to Ctrl+Shift+4 to avoid browser close-tab conflicts
v1.0.62026-04-28
  • Improved install and uninstall reliability, corrected public app links, and tightened general usability polish across the current public build.
v1.0.52026-04-28
  • Installer and uninstaller now both show a trusted signed publisher during install and removal
  • Upgrade links now consistently point to the public Snipper website
  • Ghost Tray footprint and upgrade prompts were polished for a cleaner launch experience
  • Installer packaging and cleanup were tightened for a more reliable first-run setup
v1.0.42026-04-20
  • Stability and usability improvements for the current public build.
