Shareshot 1.4.2 is in the App Store with handy bug fixes:

✶ Dragging out into another app will use the right file name.
✶ On Mac, the image title shouldn't disappear from the toolbar anymore.
* On iPadOS 26 window controls stay now stay, added "Format" menu, "Customize Toolbar..."

Screenshot of Shareshot on iPad with the window controls actually there instead of auto hiding in such an annoying way you wanted to smash your iPad.

A nice little milestone for @shareshot.app in our TelemetryDeck stats! Over 50000 screenshots exported in just over a year. We noticed that due to an oversight we didn't count exports via Shortcuts for the first ~10 months so add a few thousand 😀

New @shareshot.app release 1.4.1 is available now with bug fixes and bonus backgrounds for everybody who is receiving the new phones!

Thanks to everyone who has been in touch about this release. We love your feedback!

Shareshot 1.4.1

NEW
* Bonus backgrounds for each of the new iPhone colours, exclusive to owners of the new devices!

FIXES
* A missing string for "fit" mode with auto-clear enabled was found.
* The ugly "Save new name" button on the "add frame" screen was improved.
* The Share button was missing in the share extension, turns out it was down the back of the sofa.
* The "+" import button in the bottom center of the editing view on older iOS versions was unable to find its caption text. We pointed it in the right direction.
* Shortcuts intents were not showing any Output Size options because something changed unexpectedly.

When @viticci.macstories.net asked me on @appstories.macstories.net today how many macOS reviews I’d done, we both figured it was about 6. Turns out it’s been 9!

There are echoes of where macOS design was heading all the way back to Catalina - 7 reviews ago.

macOS 26 Tahoe: The MacStories Review

I’m going to cut to the chase – I like macOS 26 Tahoe a lot. No, it’s not perfect, and yes, I wish Apple had done even more, but that’s the case every year. What I love about Tahoe is its balance. It’...

Sheesh, someone is impersonating me and reaching out to developers with the hopes of collaborating.

So sorry if you received this, but the email stephenroblespartnerships at gmail is NOT me.

@reneritchie.bsky.social Any way to report something like this?

Another 1.4 Beta build fixes a bunch of issues especially on macOS Tahoe. Some new backgrounds and a nice bug fix that improves startup time!

It is nice how iOS 26 glass buttons pick up the colour from the UI if you have a colourful Ui. Looking forward to shipping this.

You can try the beta now and help us out with troubleshooting and in exchange you get to use it free until 1.4 ships.

Another 1.4 beta is live with a fixes and polish plus new background groupings.

Also seems that the Beta is incorrectly saying Pro is required for some styles, I'll fix that in the next build, apologies!

Here's a screenshot showing the background colour affecting glass.

Thanks Manfred. We’re already working on it. It’s not a small feature request at all by the away, it’s a pretty big one - but we’re nearly finished with it!

1.4 is now in Beta, free with no watermark 'til release!

We streamlined the UI: a larger preview area and updated the navigation make things easier to find. Also some glass. If you're not on the TestFlight go to shareshot.app/beta — go check TestFlight!

Pls share & tell us what you think!

Shareshot's first year 👉 Capping off a huge year of releases for us, finally we have the most recent 1.3 release. This added much-requested custom export sizes and fixed width exports, as well as new striped backgrounds plus "solidarity" & many LGBTQ+ backgrounds, now free for all with no watermark.
