Install

#One-liner

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MPJHorner/ScreenshotUltra/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

What it does:

1. Detects your arch (arm64 / x86_64).
2. Reads the latest tag from the GitHub API.
3. Downloads the matching universal .zip from Releases.
4. Verifies the .sha256 sidecar.
5. Removes any previous /Applications/Screenshot Ultra.app and unpacks the new one via ditto -xk.
6. Clears the com.apple.quarantine xattr so Gatekeeper doesn't gripe on first launch.
7. Opens the app once so macOS prompts you for Screen Recording permission.

#Manual: download from a GitHub release

1. Grab ScreenshotUltra-v*-universal.zip from the latest release.

2. Unzip into /Applications/.

3. Clear quarantine:

   shcopy

   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Screenshot Ultra.app"

4. Launch and grant Screen Recording in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording. Relaunch.

The binary is universal (arm64 + x86_64), unsigned for now. Signing + notarisation lands in M6.

#Build from source

Rust stable, macOS 13 or newer:

git clone https://github.com/MPJHorner/ScreenshotUltra.git
cd ScreenshotUltra
make app
open "dist/Screenshot Ultra.app"

make app runs:

• cargo build --release
• scripts/render-icon.sh (regenerates icon/AppIcon.icns from icon/icon.svg via Swift + iconutil)
• Assembles the .app bundle in dist/

#Permissions

• Screen Recording is required for every capture mode. macOS prompts on first launch; if you click "Don't Allow", re-enable it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording.
• Accessibility is not required for the default hotkey scheme. It'll be needed for the planned modifier-only (chord) bindings — but those don't ship yet.

#Uninstall

# 1. Quit Screenshot Ultra from the menu bar (or kill the process)
pkill -f screenshot-ultra

# 2. Remove the app bundle
rm -rf "/Applications/Screenshot Ultra.app"

# 3. (Optional) wipe settings + logs
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/ScreenshotUltra"
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Logs/ScreenshotUltra"

Captures in ~/Pictures/ScreenshotUltra/ are left alone — they're yours.
