Changelog

Every ScreenPrompt release since 1.0.0, newest first. Each change links to the issue or pull request behind it, and each release to its GitHub release and code changes.

1.2.0
October 23, 2026, the latest
Formatted notes and auto-scroll
The biggest update yet: notes format as you type, and they can scroll by themselves.
- New
  Formatted notes. Paste or write Markdown and it formats as you type: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, code, quotes, lists, task checkboxes, links and tables. The markers only show on the line you are editing. Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and the T button format text, and Ctrl+click opens a link. You can turn it off in Settings.#40 #50
- New
  Auto-scroll. Ctrl+Shift+Space (or ▶ in the bottom bar) scrolls your notes by themselves, teleprompter style. Press it again to pause and resume. Ctrl+Shift+, and Ctrl+Shift+. change the speed.#50
- New
  Undo for Clear and Paste-replace. Cleared or replaced your notes by accident? Undo, or Ctrl+Z, brings them back.#50
- New
  Shortcut cheat sheet. Press F1, or open Settings > Shortcuts, to see every keyboard shortcut.#50
- Improved
  Version in the title bar. It also shows whether you are up to date or a new version is available.#50
- Improved
  One-click updates, and a download a third smaller. Updating from 1.1.3 shows the installer one last time.#48
- Fixed
  Pasting an empty clipboard no longer wipes your notes.#50

1.1.3
October 13, 2026
A way out of locked mode
- Fixed
  Locked mode has a way out. Press Esc or Ctrl+click the lock icon to unlock. Plain clicks always go through to the app below, so the overlay never blocks a button.#41 #43 #45
- Improved
  Scrolling works like clicks. While locked, the mouse wheel scrolls the app behind the overlay. Hold Ctrl to scroll your notes instead.#46
- Fixed
  Shortcuts no longer override your other apps. Copy, paste, clear, settings, font size and nudge only act while ScreenPrompt is focused.
- New
  Remembers where you left it. Window position, size and lock state come back when you start the app.
- Fixed
  Notes save as you type, so closing right after an edit no longer loses it.
- Fixed
  Paste and replace (Ctrl+Shift+V) works without a browser permission prompt.
- Fixed
  Position presets and nudge land correctly at any display scaling and stay clear of the taskbar.
- New
  A short “What’s new” window after each update. Like the overlay, it is hidden from screen sharing.

1.1.2
October 11, 2026
Update prompt fix
- Fixed
  The update prompt no longer appears on every launch. The app now reads its real version, which also corrects the version shown in Settings.#35 #36
- Improved
  A refreshed overlay design, following Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.#34

1.1.1
September 13, 2026
Maintenance
- Fixed
  Security updates. Every dependency is up to date, which resolves all 25 open Dependabot alerts.
- Improved
  Leftover files from the Python version were removed. That version is archived on the legacy-python branch.

1.1.0
February 11, 2026
Rewritten in Rust and React
ScreenPrompt moved from Python to Tauri 2: the same features, faster and smaller.
- Improved
  A native app. A Rust backend with WebView2 replaces Python and tkinter.
- New
  Keyboard layout support. ScreenPrompt detects Hungarian (QWERTZ) or English (QWERTY) keyboards, and you can choose in Settings.
- Fixed
  Locked mode lets every click through, including over the window’s web content.
- Fixed
  Reset no longer turns the placeholder into real text.

Older versions are the original Python app.
1.0.4
February 8, 2026
- Improved
  The scroll wheel works in locked mode. Clicks still go through to the app below.
- New

- Fixed
  The update checker finds the installer again.

1.0.3
February 4, 2026
Update checker
- New
  Update checker. When a new version is out, the title bar shows it, and one click downloads and installs it. Nothing updates without asking, and you can turn the check off in Settings.

1.0.2
February 4, 2026
Fewer antivirus false alarms
- New
  New app icons, shown in the title bar, taskbar, installer and Add or Remove Programs.
- Improved
  Fewer antivirus false alarms, from building the app in a way antivirus scanners are less likely to flag.

1.0.1
February 4, 2026

  A Windows installer, with Start menu and desktop shortcuts and an uninstaller. Your settings are kept when you upgrade.
- New
  Panic button. Ctrl+Shift+F1 closes the app instantly, even while locked.
- Improved
  Hidden from the taskbar and Alt+Tab.
- Fixed
  No more black box in browser-based screen sharing (Google Meet, Discord and Teams on the web).
