v1.1

Screen Annotations 1.1 turns whiteboard mode into a much more complete workspace. This release adds a real board gallery, tabbed whiteboards, new content blocks like sticky notes, editable tables, and rich link cards, plus a long list of toolbar and editing improvements across the app.

Whiteboard Gallery & Board Management

Whiteboards now live in an All Boards gallery instead of a flat single-board flow.

• Grid and list views for browsing boards
• Multi-select with single click, Command-click, and Shift range selection
• Custom categories with collapsible sections for organizing boards
• Batch actions for delete and category assignment, with delete confirmation
• Board context menu actions for open, open in new tab, save as, and export preview PNG
• Improved rename behavior with commit on first outside click

Tabbed Whiteboard Workflow

You can now use the board list as the first tab in a whiteboard window, then open multiple boards beside it.

• Double-click still opens a board normally
• Open in New Tab keeps the gallery in the same tab group
• Multiple boards can stay open side by side in tabs while you switch between them

Sticky Notes

Sticky notes are now first-class canvas items instead of something you have to fake with shapes and text boxes.

• Insert sticky notes directly from the toolbar
• Edit note text inline on the canvas
• Change note fill color in the inspector
• Change sticky note text color independently

Editable Tables

Tables now behave like editable whiteboard objects rather than static boxes.

• Insert tables directly from the toolbar
• Edit text inside individual cells
• Add rows and columns from the context menu
• Autogrow cells for larger content
• Configure fill mode, background color, and text color independently

Link Cards

Whiteboards now support rich link objects with preview cards.

• Insert a URL from the toolbar
• Render a preview card with site title, host name, and preview image or icon when available
• Double-click to open the link
• Open, edit, or refresh the preview from the context menu

Toolbar & Editing Polish

• Attached whiteboard toolbar now matches detached mode much more closely
• Responsive overflow returns when the window is too small
• Toolbar captions now show keyboard shortcuts in the visible label
• Fill controls only appear for shapes that actually support fill
• Selection and rename flows now commit or clear on the first outside click
• Board selection UI no longer shifts the grid downward when the action bar appears

Rendering & Inspector Improvements

• Sticky notes and tables keep a stable text size while editing
• Link card text and footer layout render more cleanly
• Color pickers and popovers align correctly with the toolbar
• Inspector controls now cover sticky note color, sticky note text color, table fill, and table text color

Screen Annotation Toolbar

Annotate Screen mode now shows a smaller, more focused toolset rather than the full whiteboard toolbar.

Privacy Note

Link previews use macOS link metadata APIs and only fetch preview metadata when you explicitly insert or refresh a link card.

Requirements

macOS 15.0 (Sequoia) or later.
