  • DETAILS:
  • Screen Recording:
  • People love using Droplr to share screenshots, but sometimes a simple image just can’t communicate everything you need it to. Enter screen recording, Droplr-style.
  • When you open the sharing menu, you’ll see a new option: “Capture Screen Recording”, which allows you to record a section of your screen and instantly share it. If you depend on Droplr simple, quick, painless visual communication, we built this for you.
  • We made Draw better:
  • We released screenshot annotations called Droplr Draw last August and, admittedly, it was pretty simple. Apparently a lot of you liked it but sometimes you’d hit a wall where Draw was missing a few key features. We heard you and we’re making Draw better.
  • With 4.1 you’ll see two new controls when you open Draw: Colors and Blur.
  • Colors allows you to change the color of the elements you create with Draw.
  • Blur allows you to blur out any sensitive information in your screenshot. This is pretty essential when you need to share something with sensitive information.
  • We’ve also added:
  • Text Options to allow you to change the text styles of the notes you while using Draw.
  • And we’re not done improving Draw. These new features are just a start.
  • Improved Drop control:
  • Previously when you needed to update your Drop title or security, you’d have to login to the website and manage the Drop settings there. Not anymore.
  • In Droplr 4.1, you’ll notice a new  icon when you hover over your Drops. Click on this to manage each Drop’s settings directly from the Mac app.
  • Retina screenshots:
  • Droplr 4.1 correctly recognizes when you’re trying to upload a retina screenshot or a regular screenshot. No more resampling: everything you share looks beautiful at all resolutions.
  • Retina users, just try it. Your screenshots look gorgeous.
  • Capture full-page web site screenshots:
  • Now you can capture any full webpage in Safari and Chrome as an image. When you’re browsing a webpage, just click “Upload URL as image” in the Droplr menu and you’ll get a full-sized screenshot of the webpage.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Addressed a bug that would cause the menu to freeze and become unresponsive
  • Addressed a bug in which the app would incorrectly report an expired subscription
