Sealshot 0.7.2

Released July 22, 2026 · Download

Recovery gets a real safety net — including a way back into the app when a recovery code is lost — plus whole-library export and a 14-day free trial.

What’s new since 0.7.1

Save or print your Recovery Kit — the recovery-key screen now has Save Kit… and Print…, so a copy of your code with instructions can live on paper or in your own backup, not just on the clipboard. See Save your recovery code.
Periodic recovery-code checks — about every three months Sealshot asks you to confirm you still have your code. Never while the library is locked or more than once per launch, and you can always defer or generate a fresh code on the spot.
A way forward if you lose everything — the lock screen now offers “I can’t unlock…” for when both Touch ID and your recovery code are gone. It explains why Sealshot can’t bypass encryption, then (after you type RESET) moves the encrypted captures to a read-only Locked Archive and turns encryption off so you can keep working. Nothing is deleted.
Locked Archive is visible and restorable — archived captures appear as their own Library section, dimmed with a lock badge. Find your code later and Restore… brings them back, re-enabling encryption with the recovered key. Items set aside by turning encryption off (rather than by a reset) can’t be restored with a code, and Sealshot now says so plainly instead of implying otherwise.
Entering your recovery code — to restore an archive or unlock on a new Mac — counts as verifying it, so you aren’t asked again sooner than necessary.

Export All Files… — right-click All Files in the sidebar to bundle your whole library into one package you can AirDrop to another Mac and import, optionally passphrase-protected. Works like exporting a collection, just for everything. See Sharing & export.
Package export shows how many items are done (“Packaging 5 of 10…”) instead of a time-left estimate.

Sealshot now has a 14-day free trial. After it, your existing captures stay fully viewable, editable, and exportable — a license is needed only for new captures and recordings. Activate by opening your license file in Settings → License; a banner appears in the trial’s final week.
Installing a version released after your license’s update window shows a renewal banner and pauses new captures until you renew or return to a covered version. Everything already captured stays fully usable.

Dragging a single capture from the recent strip to Finder now drops a real, full-resolution image file instead of a broken alias.
The empty area around the image in the editor behaves like canvas: clicking it deselects, and you can start a selection box out there and drag across the image.
A selection box now selects only the objects it fully encloses, instead of everything it touches on the way past.
The Editor/Library/Settings switcher no longer offers an Icon/Text right-click menu that could leave a stray “View” label behind. (macOS 15 and later.)

Live Captures get real metadata — keywords and a summary listing each captured window with a one-line description. Scenes taken before this update pick theirs up next time you open them.
Sealshot now says when capture summaries need Apple Intelligence turned on — and says plainly when your Mac can’t run them — instead of quietly hiding them. Turning Apple Intelligence on while a capture is open resumes its summary automatically.
The Library and Settings tabs use a solid backdrop instead of the hex-pattern background.
