Synapse 2.3.3
LatestReleased August 23, 2026
New Feature
- Custom Upload Script: Upload screenshots straight to ImgBB, S3, Cloudflare R2, or your own server by writing a small JavaScript function. The returned link is copied to your clipboard automatically, and a one click ImgBB template is built in. Read the docs
Improved
- Screen Recorder is officially out of BETA: Rebuilt on ScreenCaptureKit so the recording toolbar and selection border are excluded from the video itself, even when recording the whole screen.
- Screen Recorder shortcut: Added a customizable keyboard shortcut to instantly start Screen Recorder.
Security & Stability
- Isolated script execution: Upload scripts run in a separate worker process, so a slow or runaway script can never freeze the app or keep burning CPU in the background.
- Encrypted credential storage: Your upload script is stored in the macOS Keychain instead of plain preferences, so any API keys inside it stay encrypted at rest on your device.
- Crash fixes: Fixed a memory corruption crash that could occur after a toast notification appeared, plus layout recursion warnings in the screenshot preview.
