What ships.

The stable releases, with the changes that matter when you open Imnota.

All releases on GitHub
Latest stable

0.4.0

Better capture, reliable copying and a simpler workspace.

More control over screenshots and fewer interruptions between capture and handoff.

  • Window capture on Windows and macOS uses the chosen window's pixels when available, with a frozen-screen fallback. Imnota hides before immediate captures on macOS.
  • Choose Now, 3 s or 5 s beside Take screenshot, or retake with a timer from the capture toolbar. macOS adds Fix permission and Restart Imnota controls for Screen Recording access.
  • Copy files is the macOS default, placing Markdown and PNG on the clipboard as separate files. Separate text and image actions remain available; receiving apps choose what they accept.
  • Exports refresh after external image replacements, reuse saved output only when content is unchanged and preserve completed bundles after failures. Rebuild bundles provides a recovery action.
  • Glass uses one on/off switch, backdrop opacity responds immediately and Desktop glass has been removed. Favourites and Archived are Library filters; copy format lives in the card copy menu.
  • Shared links use the collection name. Each bundle has its own prompt text, and browser copy includes the same text, HTML and image as desktop Rich copy.
  • Windows copying preserves Chromium clipboard-history and cloud-clipboard markers, along with browser source metadata.
Stable

0.3.0

Capture from anywhere. Hand off faster.

Capture exactly what you see, give your coding agent marks it can read, and optionally let it load your bundles locally.

  • Screen capture is on by default for new Windows and macOS profiles. Capture an area, a window or a whole display from a global shortcut, the tray or menu-bar icon, or the toolbar, with an optional 3 or 5 second delay.
  • Drag directly across screens, repeat the last captured area, then save, annotate, copy or discard from the capture overlay.
  • Prompt Markdown lists arrows, boxes and steps as positions and records each screenshot's source size.
  • Optional on-device text recognition adds a visible-text section. It is off by default and skips blurred or pixelated screenshots.
  • Optional local agent access lets MCP-capable coding agents on the same computer read prepared bundles. It is off by default and listens only on 127.0.0.1.
  • A reworked Settings with feature controls, an agent setup prompt, saved local copies and OCR presets for exports.
  • Simpler navigation, collection and project management. Repeat copies reuse finished bundles while the collection is unchanged.
  • Stronger persistence safeguards, recovery after Undo, local diagnostics and Windows clipboard reporting.
Stable

0.2.8

Capture, context and a smoother handoff.

Start with a useful brief, capture what needs to change and prepare the files your coding agent needs.

  • Five optional project templates: Bug report, UI review, Feature request, Design-to-code brief and Architecture handoff. Each creates editable Markdown blocks in your collection.
  • Experimental region capture from the toolbar, Add menu or a configurable shortcut. Windows can capture a region within one display or across display boundaries.
  • A screenshot-first Add action and optional drawing descriptions that travel with prompt Markdown.
  • Windows copy preferences, with files as the default and separate Markdown, image and rich-copy options. Combined copy reports which formats the clipboard kept. Open files stays a separate action.
  • Roomier bundle previews, generated-file fallbacks and a guided sample for learning the screenshot-to-prompt workflow.
  • Search across saved descriptions, annotation text, Markdown and drawing text, plus Back and Forward navigation that restores the project, collection and item.
  • Local backup snapshots with validation, archive export and restore options. Automatic history is opt-in and runs before migrations and whole-project deletion.
  • Shortcut recorders show when they are listening, explain conflicts and offer per-row reset and clear controls.
  • Background update checks at startup and about hourly, a download indicator beside About, reachable release notes and What's new guidance. Downloads and installation remain your choice.
Stable

0.2.7

A refreshed foundation.

Updated desktop and renderer dependencies, with the existing project format preserved.

  • Upgraded React, React Konva, Tailwind CSS, Zod, Vitest, the React Hooks lint plugin and Electron.
  • Adapted text, HTML and image copying for Electron 44 while preserving combined writes and error reporting.
  • Individual appearance changes preserve your backdrop preferences.
  • New install and update helpers check macOS compatibility before replacing the app.
Stable

0.2.6

Share the handoff. Find your flow.

Optional online sharing joins the local workflow, with browser copy actions and a refreshed desktop workspace.

  • Hosted prompt links with device pairing, expiry and revocation. Recipients can copy a bundle, copy Markdown or PNG separately, and download the ZIP. Sharing settings keep local link history and controls together; site owners get private management.
  • Improved search, project management, collection history and grouped favourites make it easier to return to your work.
  • Reworked navigation and editor headers, annotation tools that adapt to available space, and tooltips that dismiss after selection.
  • Centered dialogs, larger bundle previews, simpler inclusion controls and recoverable item deletion from the collection list, with stale recovery banners and duplicate prompts removed.
  • More readable light themes, restored backdrop transparency, new generic light and dark backgrounds, and matching drawing and screenshot canvas surfaces.
  • Better edit preservation, recovery after interrupted exports, more visible updates and macOS rollback cleanup. Windows saves retry temporary file locks and preserve the committed file if the lock persists.
  • Sharing works on system proxy networks. Versioned sharing-page assets prevent stale cached files from breaking updated pages.
Stable

0.2.5

Drawings and Markdown join the collection.

Sketch an idea without a screenshot, give written context its own item and keep all three kinds of content in the order you need.

  • Standalone drawings with essential Excalidraw tools and connectors that stay attached to shapes. Drawings save editable JSON and a cropped PNG with white background and padding.
  • Body-only Markdown items with editing and preview, stored alongside screenshots and drawings.
  • Shared ordering, visibility, duplication and recoverable deletion for all three item types. Drawing and text editors autosave with a saving indicator.
  • Mixed-content exports preserve collection order and include images and written explanations. Text-only collections export Markdown without placeholder images.
Stable

0.2.4

Collections, crops and a calmer workspace.

A stable release for Windows, macOS and Linux, with more control over the workspace and the exported handoff.

  • Collection-based PNG prompt bundles with corresponding Markdown, screenshot references and export exclusions.
  • Non-destructive crop controls with Apply, Cancel, Reset and resize handles.
  • Improved annotation selection and resizing, macOS deletion shortcuts and collapsible navigation.
  • Grouped Settings, one app-wide backdrop and a local uploaded-image library.

There is no downloadable 0.2.3 release. macOS release checks caught temporary test-path issues; 0.2.4 corrects those fixtures, and PR checks now run unit tests on each packaged platform.

0.2.2

A clearer path to the next update.

  • macOS Terminal update action and copyable command, with verified downloads, graceful shutdown, rollback and retained app backups.
  • Update progress, save-before-restart protection and retryable installation errors.
  • Refreshed Settings and subfolder creation, fixed project search and repositioned navigation controls.
  • Nightly subscribers can receive a newer stable release while retaining their preview-channel preference.

Portable Windows and Linux .deb packages retain their supported manual installation paths.

0.2.1

Choose your update channel.

  • Opt-in Stable and Nightly channels with channel-specific checks and verified downloads.
  • Feedback rounds renamed to subfolders, with simpler screenshot descriptions.
  • Update and sidebar controls moved into navigation.
  • Experimental combined text-and-image copying with explicit fallback actions.

0.2.0

Feedback rounds and better canvas control.

  • Feedback rounds with independent screenshots, notes, annotations and exports.
  • On-demand update checks, download/install states and retry controls.
  • Canvas pan, cursor-anchored zoom, actual-size view and inline text editing.
  • Image clipboard actions, an AI attachment checklist and migration rollback files.
  • macOS title-bar and icon fixes, plus improved modal keyboard focus.

0.1.3

The first downloadable release.

  • Universal Mac ZIP and DMG, Windows installers and Linux packages.
  • Local projects, editable screenshot annotations, context and exports.
  • Installer checksums, app backups, recovery restoration and save-before-close.
  • Cropped exports, pixelation, project search and expanded annotation properties.

This page covers published stable releases. Nightly builds are previews and are listed separately on GitHub Releases. Entries are summarized from the versioned upstream changelog.
