- Rebrand the application, remove hosted licensing dependencies, and add compliant product and third-party notices.
- Unify cross-platform capture overlays and introduce the Windows Rust daemon for screenshots, recording, OCR, QR scanning, and related system features.
- Enhance recording controls, video editing, audio/video export, history, settings, device management, and theming.
- Modernize tooling, dependencies, CI/release workflows, packaging, and comprehensive test coverage.
Ports the macOS-only app to Windows. The Swift daemon gains a Rust
counterpart under src/main/daemon-win that mirrors it module for module,
so the main process speaks one daemon protocol on both platforms.
- src/main/daemon-win: Rust daemon (protocol, router, overlay, ui) with
modules for screen capture, screenshot, scroll capture, area/window/
display selection, camera preview, audio and camera recording, recording
overlay and controls, OCR, QR, print, desktop helper and wallpaper,
freeze screen, and timer control
- src/main/system/capabilities.ts, src/main/utils/platform.ts,
src/renderer/utils/capabilities.ts, src/types/capabilities.ts: platform
and capability plumbing
- src/main/capture/area-capture, src/main/capture/screenshot/native-capture.ts:
Windows capture paths
- scripts/build-{daemon,ffmpeg,whisper}-win.ps1, scripts/dev.mjs,
scripts/ensure-daemon.mjs: Windows toolchain
- .gitattributes: pin line endings so checkouts stay consistent across
platforms
- tests/unit: platform, capability, path, and capture coverage
Accumulated across several agent threads in a shared worktree; committed as
one changeset to establish a baseline before verifying the build on Windows.

Replaces the native area-capture path with an Electron overlay window so the selection UI shows an HDR-correct frozen frame of each display. The daemon's screenshot module now captures a full display frame, writes it to a temp .bmp, and retains it in memory behind `retain`/`cached` flags plus a `release` method. The overlay renders that file per display and crops the confirmed selection from the retained frame before releasing it. This avoids re-capturing after selection, which previously let the screen change between freeze and capture. Also normalizes HDR scRGB surfaces by the OS SDR white level in desktop_frame.rs and display_color.rs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- replace native overlay selection on Windows with an interactive Electron backend, adding session/window management plus reusable selection geometry, pointer state machine, aspect ratio, size editor, and all-in-one toolbar components - gate screenshot freeze behind shared isFreezeScreenEnabled preference - add media device discovery and camera/microphone settings with live mic level meter and camera preview testing (including mirror flip) - track window title-bar theme and persist window bounds; add Windows window-controls spacers and transparent-body support - add dev-lock script to guard against concurrent dev sessions - migrate video editor state to v2 and harden shortcut parsing - extend Rust daemon with shared panel rendering, process-wide MTA COM guards, media-device/mic-level modules, scroll-capture and recording control fixes, and DwmFlush for uncached captures - build and package Windows artifacts in CI
- Rebrand from Capty to Poratake across README, package.json, scripts, daemon, and settings, updating icons, fonts, and app naming - Migrate UI primitives (button, card, tabs, tooltip, switch, slider, etc.) to the new component library and upgrade to React 19 - Add configurable app theme presets with appearance settings and contrast-safe tokens - Rework settings UI with new registry, search results, sidebar, and select components - Add Windows recording control window and video export session lifecycle management - Harden Windows daemon OCR, QR code, window selector, and overlay modules - Strengthen release workflow with asset validation and updated CI scripts - Add AGPL compliance tests, THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, and bundled license texts
- Capture windows with HDR GPU tone-map, fit letterbox, and accent outline - Allow mid-recording mic, system audio, and camera changes with visible ranges - Route Windows area, window, and all-in-one selection through Electron overlay - Add camera timeline track, timeline split, music/export UI, and wallpaper render - Extract auto-zoom types; expand tests and document Windows capture behavior
fix: finish Poratake standalone repository readiness
- Point package homepage, README, and About tab to porabuild.com/poratake - Align rebrand compliance tests with the new URL and version metadata
* feat: remove Capty licensing and complete Poratake rebrand - Remove license activation, entitlement, and Capty Cloud access flows - Rename daemon, environment, temporary-file, and native identifiers - Allow unrestricted video export and default cloud configuration to S3 - Update configuration and tests for the new product behavior * chore(build): align Windows build metadata with Poratake - Rename MSYS2 and FFmpeg build environment variables - Update CI package workspace name to Poratake * fix: format files flagged by CI prettier check Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai> * feat: add pre-commit hook that rejects unformatted files Adds a dependency-free git pre-commit hook (`.githooks/pre-commit`) that checks every staged TS/JS/JSON/CSS/MD file with prettier after LF normalization, so local commits catch what CI's format:check fails on. Wired via `core.hooksPath` and a `prepare` script so fresh clones get it automatically. Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai> * perf(ci): cut PR checks below 5 minutes Moves the full Windows package build (FFmpeg + whisper.cpp + electron-builder) out of the PR path into a main-push-only job, since it is the 21-minute dominant step and PRs only need the Rust gates. Adds Bun and Rust target caching, plus CI-only skip-when-built guards so cached native binaries are reused instead of recompiled. Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai> * fix(ci): include daemon source in the native cache key The native-binary cache key hashed the build scripts and Cargo.lock but not the daemon's Rust sources, so a source-only change could restore a stale capty-daemon.exe and the CI skip guard would validate the wrong binary. Hash Cargo.toml and src/**.rs so any daemon change invalidates the cached natives. Co-authored-by: CommandCodeBot <noreply@commandcode.ai> * fix(ci): skip the Electron binary download in non-packaging jobs The windows-native job failed with a socket hang up while the electron postinstall script downloaded its ~120MB prebuilt binary. Neither the checks nor the windows-native job runs electron-builder, and every test mocks the electron module, so that binary is never used. Only the npm package (types, mocked module surface) is needed, and that still installs. Setting ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD removes the flaky download from both jobs and shortens their install step. windows-package keeps the download since electron-builder requires it.

Get-FileHash is a function in the autoloaded Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility module. Under the MSYS2 environment used by the Windows package job, PSModulePath is rewritten to POSIX paths, so autoloading fails and the build stamp computation aborts the whole Windows package build. Compute the SHA-256 with System.Security.Cryptography directly, which has no module dependency. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
vsrc_gfxcapture_winrt.cpp is the only C++ translation unit this FFmpeg configuration builds. Under clang/libc++ on the arm64 runner, the '#include <version>' it pulls in through <optional> resolves to FFmpeg's own VERSION file: the case-insensitive Windows filesystem matches it via the -I. on FFmpeg's compile line, so the compiler parses "9.0.1" as C++ and the arm64 release build fails. Poratake captures through its own daemon and never uses the filter, so disable it. This also keeps the x64 and arm64 binaries in step.

…#7) * internal: add debug instrumentation for AIO overlay timing * internal: add env-gated file-trigger for unattended AIO measurement * internal: variant A - trigger only, no instrumentation * Revert "internal: variant A - trigger only, no instrumentation" This reverts commit 4414d13. * internal: always-on event-loop lag monitor and shortcut lifecycle logging * internal: untrack scratch measurement scripts * internal: remove AIO debug instrumentation Drops the temporary debug logging, the env-gated file trigger and the always-on event-loop lag monitor added while investigating the Windows shortcut latency. The always-on 100ms interval was itself masking the bug by keeping the libuv loop from parking. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(main): dispatch user actions without waiting for an idle event loop In the main process, promise continuations only run when the libuv loop turns. While the app is idle the loop parks, so a callback arriving from Chromium rather than libuv stalled at its first await until an unrelated event woke the loop. Measured 349-2252ms from Alt+Shift+S to the first native call, with the whole delay ahead of any I/O. A flow whose first act is real I/O was immune, because daemon.call() writes to stdin synchronously before returning its promise. That is why the plain area screenshot looked fine: it happens to call desktop-helper.hide first. Turning off "hide desktop icons" gave that path the same 93-1548ms stall, confirming the mechanism. flushPendingContinuations() schedules one loop turn; a single microtask checkpoint then drains the queue to empty, unwinding the resolved chain to the first real I/O. Applied at the three boundaries that start user-initiated flows: the shortcut dispatcher, the tray menu template funnel, and area-overlay:toolbar, whose mode switch reaches the daemon only via a freezeTransition microtask. Deliberately not a periodic timer, which would mask the problem and cost battery when idle. shortcuts.ts collapses eight near-identical register functions into one table-driven dispatcher, unifying the feature, handler and accelerator maps into a single source of truth, and now validates the action from shortcuts:register instead of casting it to a capture mode. Alt+Shift+S to first native call: 1238ms avg -> 4.3ms avg. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * internal: split package-win out of build-win build-win rebuilds ffmpeg and whisper, which needs MSYS2 and fails on a machine without it even when those binaries are already present. The new package-win runs only the clean, tsc, vite and electron-builder steps, so a JS-only rebuild no longer requires the native toolchain. build-win keeps its existing behaviour by chaining the two. Also ignores .scratch* so local measurement scratch dirs stay untracked.
