Mark up your references, compare them side by side, present, and fly around with ⌘K

• Annotations — mark up any saved image right inside Morgue with arrows, boxes, ellipses, highlights, a freehand pen, and text notes. Pick a color, move/resize/recolor anything, and save a flattened copy to share. Open the tools from the image viewer or the details panel; annotated saves get a small badge in your library
• Compare — select 2–4 references and view them side by side to weigh design directions at a glance
• Presentation mode — play any folder, tag, or collection as a full-screen slideshow, with arrow-key navigation and optional auto-advance — great for design reviews and moodboard walkthroughs
• Command palette (⌘K) — press ⌘K from anywhere to instantly jump to a page, board, folder, tag, or font, run a quick action, or kick off a search — all from the keyboard

Search inside screenshots, a safety net for deletes, and bring-your-own AI

• Text search (OCR) — Morgue now reads the text inside your screenshots on-device, so searching a word that appears in an image surfaces it. No setup, no AI key, nothing leaves your Mac — it just works the next time you search
• Trash & Restore — deleting an asset now moves it to a Trash instead of removing it for good. Browse the Trash anytime to Restore a save or Delete Forever, and Empty Trash when you're sure. Accidental deletes are now undoable
• Bring your own AI key — use your own AI provider for name & palette suggestions: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or a local model (Ollama / LM Studio / any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). Pick the provider and model in Settings → AI; the Suggest button shows which one will run
• AI auto-tagging (optional) — turn it on and AI suggestions also propose descriptive tags, which make assets easier to find in search and sharpen Find Similar
• AI remains fully optional — every feature works without a key

Video & PDF, find similar, font pairings, accessibility & backups

• Video & PDF support — save, preview, and play video files and open PDFs right alongside your images, each with an auto-generated thumbnail so your grid stays scannable
• Find Similar — pick any image and “More like this” surfaces visually similar saves from your library
• Font pairings — get suggested typeface pairings for any font, right in the info panel
• Automatic backups — schedule recurring backups of your library (with how-many-to-keep retention), or back up on demand anytime — full archive or catalog-only
• High-contrast themes — accessible high-contrast light and dark modes for better legibility
• Improvement: larger, macOS-native window corners to match the latest system look

Color & type tools, plus sharper filtering

• Contrast checker — see the WCAG contrast ratio between palette colors, flagged AA / AAA / Fail, in the palette builder, the info panel, and on a palette asset — quick checks for accessible text-on-background pairs
• Export palettes — copy or save any palette as CSS variables, SCSS, Tailwind config, JSON, a hex list, or an Adobe .ase swatch file, with a custom variable name so it drops straight into your project
• Advanced filters — narrow your library by date added (presets or a custom range), source site (everything saved from a given domain), and orientation (landscape / portrait / square) — all stacking with your existing folder, tag, color, and search filters
• Faster properties — image dimensions in the details panel now appear instantly instead of waiting on the image to load

Asset properties, easier color search & smoother updates

• Asset properties at a glance — the details panel and full-screen view now show dimensions, file size, type, and the dates imported/modified
• Color search is easier to find — type a hex code (like #5B7FFF) in the search bar to pull up every asset and palette using that color, and a small color chip appears so it's clear you're searching by color
• Copies now show up in clipboard managers — copying a swatch's hex lands in your clipboard history (Paste, etc.), not just on the next paste
• Check for updates anytime — a new Check for updates option in Settings, and Morgue now re-checks periodically while it's running, so you'll hear about a new version even if you rarely quit the app

Morgue 1.0 🎉

• Color search — type a hex code in the search bar to find every asset and palette using that color; an empty search now shows a clear "No matches" state instead of looking like an empty library
• Accessibility — the asset grid is fully keyboard-navigable (arrows, Home/End, Space, Enter, ⌘A) with visible focus rings, and Morgue now respects your macOS high-contrast and reduced-motion settings
• Toast notifications — quick, unobtrusive confirmations for actions like export, import, and copy (and clear messages when something fails)
• Refined window — rounded corners with native-style window controls and full-screen support
• Safer imports — importing a backup no longer duplicates boards, and imports are now all-or-nothing, so a failed import can't leave a half-imported library
• Licensing fix — closed an edge case where an offline or not-yet-activated device could lock itself out
• Plus reliability and polish throughout

Extension polish

• The extension popup is a bit wider so longer titles and the capture-mode buttons have room to breathe
• The Visible / Full page / Region buttons are now properly aligned with the preview and evenly spaced
• Requires extension v1.0.16

Full-page & region capture (extension)

• The extension can now capture in three modes, chosen from buttons above the preview:
• Visible — the current viewport (as before)
• Full page — scrolls the whole page and stitches it into one tall screenshot (fixed/sticky headers are hidden after the first slice so they don't repeat)
• Region — drag a box over any part of the page to grab just that area
• Full-page capture shows live progress; region capture lets you draw a selection right on the page (Esc to cancel)
• Requires extension v1.0.15

Web fonts preview true-to-type

• Fonts captured from the web (not just local fonts) now preview in their real typeface across the sidebar, grid, and boards — the app stores a loadable font URL when there's no local file and loads the actual face
• Falls back gracefully to a system copy, then a default, when a font genuinely can't be loaded
• Applies to newly captured fonts going forward

Board templates

• New boards can start from a template instead of a blank canvas — pick one from the empty board's "Start from a template" row
• Four layouts to begin with: Comparison (A/B), Before / After, Brand Board (logo / color / type / imagery), and Three Sections (inspiration / direction / references)
• Templates drop in labeled heading sections, centered in view — then you fill each area with assets, notes, and connectors as usual

AI focuses on name + palette (no more auto-tags)

• AI now suggests just a name and a color palette — the two things it's reliably great at. Tagging is fully manual again, so your tags stay meaningful and intentional
• Desktop: the AI panel shows a Suggested name (one click to apply) alongside the suggested palette
• Extension: the AI/auto-suggest fills the name and palette only; it no longer injects guessed tags into your tag field
• Requires extension v1.0.14 and an app rebuild

AI tags: fewer, and about why you saved it

• AI now suggests 3–5 tags, fewer is better — capped at 5 — instead of an exhaustive description
• It recognizes non-UI work (illustration, packaging, posters, branding, product photos) and tags the design discipline a designer would save it for — e.g. *packaging design*, *label illustration*, *craft beer* — rather than generic photo descriptors
• No more near-duplicates (e.g. not both *product photography* and *food photography*), and photography-genre tags are only used when the photography itself is the point

AI tags now lead with the design type

• AI now identifies what kind of UI/design it is first — e.g. *saas landing page*, *dashboard ui*, *pricing page*, *login screen*, *mobile app*, *blog layout* — then the major components, then the industry
• Incidental atoms aren't tagged anymore — *button*, *logo*, *icon*, *input*, *menu*, *badge*, etc. are dropped *unless that element is the whole point of the shot* (a dedicated logo or button/icon showcase keeps them)
• Fewer, more meaningful tags overall

Even tighter AI tags

• AI no longer suggests bare fragments like *landing*, *page*, *section*, *cloud*, *header*, *grid*, or *card* — it must use the complete component name (*landing page*, *hero section*, *logo cloud*, *bento grid*, *blog cards*)
• Brand / business noise is filtered out too — *studio*, *brand*, *content*, *platform*, *product*, *template*, *company*, and similar are dropped (and the model is told not to tag the brand's own name)
• A few more mood adjectives joined the block-list (*bold*, *vibrant*, *premium*, *luxury*, …); when there isn't enough concrete detail, the AI now returns fewer tags instead of padding with filler

Fix: auto-suggest now lands before save

• With Auto-suggest on capture enabled, hitting Save to Morgue now waits for the AI to finish so the suggested tags and palette are included in the capture — previously a fast save could beat the AI and store nothing
• The Save button shows "Analyzing…" briefly while it waits
• Requires extension v1.0.13

Fix: "Server error 413" when capturing

• Captures and AI analysis with large screenshots no longer fail with 413 (payload too large) — the local bridge now accepts much bigger images (up to 64 MB) instead of the previous 2 MB cap
• Requires updating/relaunching the desktop app

Auto-suggest on capture (extension)

• New "Auto-suggest on capture" toggle in the browser extension — when on, AI runs automatically as the popup opens and pre-fills the name, palette, and (smarter) tags, so you can just hit Save
• Off by default and remembered between captures, so there's no surprise API usage
• Requires extension v1.0.12

Smarter AI tags

• AI tag suggestions now name concrete, recognizable things in the image — UI components and layout patterns like *blog cards*, *news cards*, *pricing table*, *hero section*, *bento grid*, *testimonial grid*, plus the kind of page/product and its industry
• Generic filler is gone — vague aesthetic/mood tags like *modern*, *minimal*, *clean*, *modern typography*, *ui*, and *inspiration* are no longer suggested (and are filtered out even if the model returns them)
• Applies everywhere AI suggestions appear — the desktop info panel and the browser extension (both share the same engine)

True-to-type font previews everywhere

• The real typeface now renders for fonts on the grid and on boards too — not just the sidebar — loading the actual font file when it's known
• Grid font cards show a larger Aa specimen in the font's own face
• Consistent graceful fallback (system copy → default) when a font has no local file

True-to-type font previews

• Fonts in the sidebar now preview using their actual font file when it's a local font — the app loads the real typeface instead of relying on a system copy being installed under the same name
• Falls back gracefully to a system-installed copy (then a default) when no font file is available (e.g. fonts captured from the web)

Browse your library by font

• New Fonts section in the sidebar lists every typeface across your library — saved fonts plus fonts detected on your assets — each previewed in its own typeface with a count
• Click a font to filter the grid to everything that uses it (the saved font swatch and any asset it appears on)
• The list updates automatically as you capture new fonts, and the section collapses like Folders/Boards/Tags

Unified search

• The library search now matches across name, source site, notes, tags, and fonts — not just names. So you can find everything you saved from a site by typing its domain, or pull up every asset using a given typeface
• Fonts are now searchable — search a font family and you'll get the saved font plus any asset it was detected on
• Multi-word search narrows results: every word you type must match somewhere (e.g. figma hero finds assets that match both)

Board drag polish

• Boards now show a drag-handle (grip dots) on the left, matching folders — grab it to reorder
• A floating label of the board's name follows your cursor while dragging, so it's clear what you're moving

Fix: board drag-reordering

• Dragging boards now actually works — switched to the same pointer-based drag the folders use (the webview doesn't fire native drag events), so reordering is reliable. Double-click-to-rename and click-to-open are unaffected

Reorder boards

• Drag boards in the sidebar to reorder them — a drop indicator shows where it'll land, and the order is saved

Board: connectors & arrows

• Connect two items with a line or arrow — select exactly two items and hit Connect in the toolbar
• Connectors follow their items as you move and resize them, anchoring to the nearest edge
• Click a connector to select it, then recolor it (5 presets), toggle the arrowhead on/off, or remove it (Delete)
• Removing an item automatically cleans up any connectors attached to it
• Connectors are included in board exports (and print to PDF) just like everything else

Board: floating toolbar + multi-select

• The board tools now live in a floating toolbar at the bottom of the canvas instead of the header — it stays out of the way and surfaces contextual controls (size, color, layering, duplicate, remove) only when something is selected
• Multi-select: shift-click items to add/remove from the selection, or shift-drag on empty canvas to rubber-band a group. Move the whole group together in one drag (with snapping)
• Duplicate selected items with the toolbar button or ⌘D
• Copy / paste items with ⌘C / ⌘V
• Select all with ⌘A; Delete/Backspace removes everything selected; Esc clears the selection
• Layering (forward/back), text size, and note color now apply to all selected items at once

Board snapping + collapsible sidebar

• Boards now have snapping with alignment guides — drag an item and it snaps to other items' edges and centers, with orange guide lines showing the alignment. Toggle it on/off with the Snap button
• The sidebar's Folders, Boards, and Tags sections collapse (click the section title) so you can hide what you're not using — your choices are remembered
• Long lists now cap their height and scroll instead of pushing everything else off-screen

Text & sticky notes on boards

• Add text labels and sticky notes to a board from the toolbar — for headers, captions, and annotations alongside your assets
• Double-click to edit any text or note; pick from Heading / Body / Caption sizes, and choose a sticky-note color from a handful of presets
• Text and notes resize freely (assets still keep their aspect ratio)
• Text and notes are included when you export a board (and print to PDF), positioned just like on the canvas

Boards remember their view

• Each board now remembers its pan position and zoom level — reopen a board and it's exactly where you left it

Board zoom control

• The board zoom + / − buttons now step in clean 5% increments
• You can also type an exact zoom % right in the box (Enter to apply, Esc to cancel)

Board polish

• Added a zoom control in the bottom-right of boards — current percentage on top, + / − below (click the percentage to reset to 100%)
• The right info panel is now hidden on boards, giving the canvas the full width
• Fixed color palettes (and color blocks) disappearing when saving a board or gallery to PDF — background colors now print correctly

Board improvements

• Assets now drop onto a board at their real aspect ratio (no more cropped hero images), and resizing keeps that ratio so the whole image stays visible as you scale
• Board images now show in full (contained) rather than cropped to fill
• New Export button on boards — saves the board's spatial layout as a self-contained, shareable HTML page (with a Save as PDF button), preserving each item's position, size, and stacking

Moodboards

• New Boards section in the sidebar — create freeform canvases to arrange your inspiration spatially instead of in a grid
• Add assets from your library onto a board, then drag to move, drag the corner to resize, and layer them (bring forward / send back)
• Pan by dragging the canvas and zoom with the scroll wheel (zoom centers on your cursor); a reset button returns to 100%
• Select an item to move/resize/layer/remove it; Delete removes it from the board (the asset stays in your library). Everything is saved automatically
• Rename a board by double-clicking it; delete a board without touching its assets

Export & branding polish

• Exported galleries now have a Save as PDF button right on the page — click it to open the print dialog straight to PDF, no menu-hunting
• The Morgue app icon (rounded like an app icon) now appears on exported galleries, the changelog, and the privacy policy, replacing the old generated mark

Export gallery

• New Export button in the toolbar turns the current view into a self-contained, shareable HTML gallery — one file, no dependencies, perfect for sending a client or teammate
• Exports exactly what you see: any folder, tag, color filter, or All Assets — images, palettes, and fonts together, titled by the current view
• Each item carries its source link, attached color swatches, fonts, and tags; images are embedded directly so the file works offline and anywhere
• Themed to match Morgue (and print-to-PDF friendly — open it and Save as PDF for a polished deck)
• After exporting, the file is revealed in Finder

Hover font inspector (extension)

• New Hover & pick from page button in the extension's font section turns on an on-page inspector: hover any text to see its font family, weight, and size in a tooltip, and click to grab it
• Grabbed fonts are remembered and pre-selected the next time you open Morgue on that page, ready to attach to the saved asset (they're badged Local / Google / Web like auto-detected fonts)
• A floating banner shows while inspecting; press Esc or click Done to exit. Links don't navigate while the inspector is active

Quick wins

• Click a palette swatch to filter by that color. In an asset's Color Palettes section, clicking any swatch jumps to All Assets filtered to that color — a one-click bridge from "I like this color" to "show me everything with it"
• Open an asset's source URL straight from the grid. Hovering a card with a source URL now shows an open-in-browser button, so you can jump to the original page without opening the asset first (the lightbox and details panel already supported this)

Font detection in the extension

• The Morgue browser extension now detects the fonts used on the page you're saving. A "Fonts on this page" list shows each typeface (with a live preview), ranked by how much it's used
• Each font is badged Local (installed on your machine), Google (matched against your Google Fonts catalog, if a key is set), or Web
• Tap the fonts you want and they're attached to the saved asset, showing up in its Fonts section — alongside the screenshot, tags, and palette
• Fonts are read only when you open the extension on a page (via activeTab), so nothing runs in the background

Fixes

• Fixed the delete confirmation appearing behind the duplicate finder (and other modals) — confirmation dialogs now always sit on top, so deleting a duplicate works as expected

Better duplicate detection

• Replaced the difference-hash with a DCT-based perceptual hash, which is much more reliable on flat, mostly-white screenshots (like landing-page heroes) where the old hash missed obvious near-duplicates
• Retuned the Strict / Normal / Loose sensitivity for the new hash; hashes recompute once on the next scan

Clickable source URLs

• The Source URL in the asset details panel (and lightbox) is now a real link — click it to open the page in your browser, with a dedicated open-in-browser button next to it
• Editing the URL moved to a small pencil button, so a single click opens the page instead of dropping into edit mode
• Bare URLs without a scheme are opened as https:// automatically

Fixes & polish

• Duplicate finder now actually finds duplicates. Perceptual hashing moved from the browser canvas (which couldn't reliably read image pixels) to native Rust image decoding — identical and near-identical screenshots are detected correctly. Existing hashes are reset once so they recompute accurately
• Moved the keyboard-shortcuts button out of the toolbar (where it sat awkwardly between the item count and column controls) to the top-right of the page header

Duplicate finder

• New Find Duplicates entry in the sidebar opens a finder that spots near-identical images across your whole library — not just exact copies, but crops, re-saves, and lightly edited versions
• Uses a perceptual hash (dHash) computed once per image and cached, so repeat scans are instant
• Strict / Normal / Loose sensitivity lets you dial how aggressively similar images are grouped
• Each group keeps the oldest copy highlighted; delete extras individually or with one click ("Keep oldest · Delete N"), always behind a confirmation
• Hashes are computed locally on your machine — nothing leaves your device

Keyboard-first navigation

• A keyboard shortcuts reference now lives in Settings → Keys, with a quick-access keyboard icon in the grid toolbar
• Drive the whole grid from the keyboard:
• Arrow keys move a focus ring cell-by-cell (Left/Right) and row-by-row (Up/Down); Home/End jump to the first/last asset
• Shift + arrows extend a multi-selection as you move
• Space toggles the focused asset in/out of the selection
• Enter opens the focused image in the lightbox (or selects non-images)
• F stars/unstars the focused asset; ⌘A / Ctrl+A selects everything visible
• Delete / Backspace removes the focused asset or the whole selection
• The focused cell always scrolls into view, and clicking a card moves keyboard focus there too — so mouse and keyboard stay in sync

Bulk operations

• The multi-select bar now does more than delete. Select multiple assets (Cmd-click / Shift-click) and you can:
• Star / Unstar the whole selection in one click (toggles based on whether they're all already favorited)
• Add to folder — pick any folder from a nested list
• Tag — type to filter existing tags or create a new one on the fly, applied to every selected asset
• Inline confirmation flashes after each action; selection stays put so you can chain operations (star → tag → move)

Color search

• Filter your whole library by color. A new Color control in the filter bar opens a swatch board built from the colors actually in your library — click one (or pick a custom color) to show every asset whose palette contains that color
• Matching uses perceptual color distance with Exact / Close / Loose tolerance, so "find me everything with this orange" works even when shades differ slightly
• Composable with everything else — color stacks on top of folder, tag, favorites, and text-search filters
• Matches across both images with extracted palettes and standalone palette assets

Custom domain

• Changelog + privacy pages moving to morgueapp.com (changelog.morgueapp.com, privacy.morgueapp.com); in-app Changelog link now points to changelog.morgueapp.com

Menu-bar icon

• Replaced the full-color app icon in the menu bar with a monochrome ghost template icon, so it adapts to light/dark menu bars and matches the system's other icons (instead of looking out of place)

Version + changelog links

• Small footer in the Settings panel showing the app version and a Changelog link (opens the hosted changelog page)
• Sidebar footer now shows the version + a Changelog link alongside the library location
• Version is read from package.json so it stays in sync automatically

Run in the background (menu-bar app)

• Closing the window now hides Morgue instead of quitting, so the local capture bridge keeps serving the Chrome extension
• Added a menu-bar (tray) icon with Open Morgue / Quit Morgue — quit fully from there (or Cmd+Q)
• Clicking the dock icon reopens the window when it's hidden (macOS)
• Extension tab note updated to explain the background behavior

Icons

• "Add to Chrome" button now uses a globe icon
• The "Palette" option in the dashboard Add menu now uses a palette icon

Settings — Browser Extension tab

• New Extension tab in Settings with an "Add to Chrome" button (opens the Chrome Web Store listing in the default browser) and a live capture-bridge status indicator (pings localhost:57432)
• Wired to the real listing (item ID mcbapocgkibpbpdkccpkakdcnobjdmhk); the link goes live once the listing is approved

Extension — Web Store prep

• Removed the unused scripting permission from the extension manifest (unnecessary permissions get rejected in review)
• Bundled the Space Mono + Inter fonts locally in the extension (extension/fonts/, latin subset, ~115KB) and switched popup.html/popup.css to local @font-face — no more fonts.googleapis.com requests, so the popup works offline and avoids remote-resource scrutiny
• Extension bumped to 1.0.9 — re-zip and re-upload the package

Fix — drag-and-drop now uses pointer events (works in the Tauri WebView)

• Real cause found: Tauri's OS-level drag-drop handler (kept on so images can be dragged in from Finder) intercepts native HTML5 drags — hence the green "+" cursor and drops never landing
• Reworked in-app dragging to use pointer events instead (new lib/drag.ts): a floating ghost follows the cursor, folder rows are detected via data-folder-id, and drops are resolved manually
• Folder grip (⠿): drag to reorder (top/bottom edge) or nest (middle)
• Asset cards: drag onto a folder to add it there
• Finder → app image import (the OS drag-drop) is unaffected
• Disabled native dragging on thumbnail images so it can't re-trigger the OS drag

Fix — folder drag-and-drop (for real this time)

• Root cause: making the folder *row* draggable stopped it from receiving drop events in the WebView, which broke folder dragging AND asset-to-folder drops
• Folder rows are now plain drop targets again (restoring asset-to-folder), and dragging is done via a dedicated grip handle (⠿) on the left of each row — drag it to reorder (top/bottom edge) or nest (middle)

AI — auto-generated asset names (extension)

• The extension's "✨ Suggest" now also generates a concise, descriptive name from the page context (title + URL) plus the screenshot, and fills the name field — button relabeled "Suggest Name, Palette & Tags"
• Claude's analysis returns a name alongside palette + tags; the /ai/analyze bridge accepts optional page title/URL as context
• Settings AI tab: moved this from "Planned" to "Enabled by your keys"

Fix — folder & asset drag-and-drop

• Drag-and-drop was broken (folders couldn't be dragged/nested, and asset-to-folder stopped working). Cause: dataTransfer.types.includes() threw in the WebView (where types is a DOMStringList), aborting the drop handlers. Now uses an internal drag ref to tell folder vs asset drags apart — no reliance on the types API

Folders — sorting & drag-and-drop

• New sort menu (next to the + in the Folders header): Newest first (default), A → Z, Z → A, and Manual
• Drag folders to reorder (drop on the top/bottom edge of a row) or nest them (drop on the middle of a row) — reordering switches to Manual sort and is persisted; guards against cycles and the 4-level depth limit
• Sort preference persists across launches

Tags — alphabetical

• Tags in the sidebar are now always sorted A → Z (no more count-based ordering)

Fonts — add to folders without favoriting

• Each font card has an add-to-folder button (folder picker) — adds the font to a folder even if it's not favorited (e.g. a client's brand font you need handy but don't want starred)
• Favoriting and library-membership are now decoupled: the star toggles favorite only; a font added to a folder lives in the library un-favorited; un-favoriting a font that isn't in any folder removes it from the library

Settings — clickable console links

• The "console.cloud.google.com" and "console.anthropic.com" references in the AI tab are now real links that open in your default browser (via the opener plugin) — Google's goes straight to the Web Fonts Developer API page, Anthropic's to the API keys page

Google Fonts in the font browser

• Add your Google Fonts API key in Settings → AI (Web Fonts Developer API)
• Font browser gains a LOCAL / GOOGLE toggle; Google mode previews the full catalog (sorted by popularity), searchable, with live remote previews
• Google font cards show a small "G" badge in the name box; save them to your library like local fonts
• Catalog fetched through the Rust backend (key stays local); http:// file URLs rewritten to https:// for the webview; renders the first 90 results with search to narrow down
• Backend: set_google_fonts_key / google_fonts_key_status / google_fonts_list; API-key config refactored to hold multiple keys in one file

AI — switched to Claude Haiku

• AI palette/tag analysis now uses claude-haiku-4-5 — faster and cheaper, with equivalent quality for this task

Palettes — editable after creation

• Edit any palette in place: rename, change colors, add or remove swatches
• Edit from the asset details panel (pencil next to each assigned palette) or from a palette's own details (pencil in the header)
• Edits apply everywhere the palette is used; the palette builder reused for both create & edit (updatePalette)

AI — Claude palette + tag suggestions (app + extension)

• Settings → AI: add your Anthropic (Claude) API key. Stored locally in ai_config.json, never sent anywhere but Anthropic, and shared with the extension via the local bridge. Connected/replace/remove states; key is never read back to the UI.
• App (asset details): new "✨ Suggest Palette & Tags" on image assets — analyzes the image with Claude (vision) and returns a suggested color palette + descriptive tags. Save & assign the palette in one click; add tags individually or all at once (already-applied tags are marked).
• Extension popup: "✨ Suggest Palette & Tags" analyzes the captured screenshot; suggested tags merge into the tags field and a suggested palette is saved & attached to the capture automatically (clearable).
• Backend: new ai module (Anthropic Messages API, claude-sonnet-4-6), Tauri commands set_ai_key / ai_key_status / ai_analyze_image, and a /ai/analyze bridge endpoint. Capture endpoint extended to persist an attached palette.

App icon — temporarily disabled

• Custom app-icon switching is disabled for now (still being refined); the app uses its default icon. The switcher is shown greyed-out in Settings.

Dock icon — actually persists on first change now

• The Dock caches a non-running app's icon and only re-reads it on the app's next launch — which is why an icon change only "stuck" after reopening. After writing the icon to the bundle, the Dock is now restarted (killall Dock, it relaunches instantly) so the change is reflected immediately, including the closed state
• Removed the launch-time re-apply (no longer needed now that the icon lives on the .app bundle) so the Dock isn't restarted on every app open

Dock icon — fix first-change persistence & live revert

• After writing the icon to the .app bundle, the icon cache is now invalidated (noteFileSystemChanged:) so the Dock/Finder pick it up immediately — previously the change only stuck after a relaunch (the Dock kept the icon it cached at launch)
• The live running tile is now set from the bundle's *current* icon (iconForFile:), so selecting Default reverts the icon right away instead of waiting for a restart

Dock icon — persists even when the app is closed

• Selecting a custom icon now also writes it onto the .app bundle via NSWorkspace setIcon:forFile: (same mechanism as Finder's "paste custom icon" — uses extended attributes, doesn't touch the signed bundle contents), so the Dock & Finder keep showing your chosen icon after quitting
• Choosing "Default" clears the custom bundle icon, restoring the original
• Fixed a latent bug: icon paths are now passed to initWithUTF8String: as null-terminated CStrings
• Note: bundle persistence only applies to the built .app (not tauri dev)

Lightbox — palette builder z-index

• "Create New Palette" now opens above the full-screen image viewer (was rendering behind it)

Dock icon — persists across launches

• The selected app icon (3D / Dark) is now re-applied on every launch — macOS resets the dock icon to the bundle default each time, so we restore the saved choice on startup

Library — relocate to any folder + move assets

• New "Choose New Location" in Settings → Library: move your library to an external drive or a cloud-synced folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive…)
• A Morgue Library folder is created inside the chosen location; all asset files are moved (instant rename on same volume, copy+delete across drives) and their DB paths re-linked automatically
• Library root is persisted in library_location.txt and resolved fresh for imports + extension captures, so the new location takes effect immediately
• Asset protocol scope broadened to include /Volumes/** (external drives); cloud drives under the home folder were already covered

Fonts — favoriting

• Favoriting (saving) a font now also adds it to Favorites, not just All Assets

Planned (noted)

• Google Fonts API key support — let users add their own key to browse & preview Google Fonts in the font browser

App icons — size match

• 3D / Dark dock icons inset to the macOS icon grid (content at ~80.5% of the tile, standard transparent margin) so they match the Default icon's footprint instead of reading oversized

App icons — new options + proper dock rendering

• Icon options are now Default / 3D Ghost / Dark
• Default = the original flat orange ghost
• 3D Ghost = new sculpted ghost on orange squircle (morgue-3d)
• Dark = cream ghost glowing on dark navy (morgue-dark-clipped)
• Default now restores the real bundle icon at runtime (setApplicationIconImage: nil) instead of loading a low-res PNG — so it's crisp, rounded, and correctly sized in the dock
• 3D / Dark dock icons regenerated as full-bleed 1024px squircle PNGs with transparent macOS-radius corners (no more white corners on 3D, no more square edges on Dark) so they read as true app icons
• Removed the now-unused icon-flat.png bundled resource

Settings — gear icon

• Replaced the header Settings gear with a cleaner icon, stroke-weighted to match the other header icons

Fix — picker width in lightbox sidebar

• PalettePicker/FontPicker width now calculated from the parent panel (aside or [data-theme]) not the tiny + button
• Min width 220px enforced so pickers are always readable

Settings modal

• Gear icon restored to header — opens Settings modal
• Three tabs: Appearance, Library, AI
• Appearance tab:
• App icon switcher — Flat / 3D / Ghost, persisted across restarts
• Theme default — visual light/dark previews, same toggle as header
• Icon change note (takes effect on next launch)
• Library tab:
• Shows full library path
• "OPEN" button reveals the library folder in Finder via open -R
• "Relocate Library" placeholder — coming next release
• AI tab:
• Coming soon placeholder with planned features listed
• Claude + OpenAI key input, palette extraction, tag suggestions, extension integration
• New Rust command: reveal_in_finder(path) — opens Finder with the path selected

App — tag section spacing

• Assigned tags now appear above the input (not below suggestion chips)
• 10px gap between assigned tags and the add-tag input
• 8px gap between suggestions and input
• Clearer visual hierarchy: existing tags → input → suggestions

App — palette/font picker z-index fix

• PalettePicker and FontPicker now render via ReactDOM.createPortal attached to document.body with position: fixed — they no longer get clipped by the info panel's overflow: auto scroll container
• Anchor position calculated with getBoundingClientRect() so dropdowns open directly below their trigger button regardless of scroll position

App — tag suggestions in info panel

• TagAdder now shows existing tags as clickable chips when opened
• Chips filter as you type — helps avoid duplicates like #footer vs #Footer
• Click a chip to add instantly; type and press Enter to create a new tag
• Tags fetched from DB on open

Extension — icon updated to 3D transparent ghost

• Using morgue-3d-transparent.png — rounded square, cleaner edges

Extension — icon updated to 3D ghost (1.0.4)

• Switched back to 3D ghost icon (morgue-3d.png) — orange rounded square with cream cloth ghost

App — sidebar selection fix

• Clicking a folder or tag now clears the selected asset — folder/tag panel shows immediately even if an image was previously selected
• selectLib, selectFolder, selectTag in Sidebar all call setSelectedAsset(null)

Extension — new icon (1.0.3)

• Updated to flat 2D ghost icon — cleaner at small toolbar sizes
• 16/48/128px all regenerated from new source

App — folder rename sidebar fix

• Renaming a folder now updates the left sidebar immediately — loadFolders() added to the assetVersion effect so folder names sync on every mutation

Extension — polish (1.0.2)

• Ghost icon applied to extension toolbar (16/48/128px)
• Popup rounded corners (border-radius: 12px) — no more sharp square popup
• White bleed removed — html background set to transparent, header clips to rounded top corners

App — folder & tag rename

• Right info panel now shows a folder detail view when a folder is selected (no asset selected)
• Right info panel shows a tag detail view when a tag is selected
• Folder name editable inline — click to rename, Enter/blur saves, propagates everywhere
• Tag name editable inline — # is fixed, edit the word part only, updates all assets instantly
• Both panels show asset count and a hint about rename propagation
• New DB functions: updateFolderName, updateTagName, fetchFolderById, fetchTagById

Extension — custom folder dropdown (1.0.1)

• Replaced native <select> with custom overlay dropdown matching the app's "Add New" menu style
• Folder icon, checkmark on selected item, animated chevron, closes on outside click
• Dark/light themed, matches Morgue aesthetic

App

• Sidebar and info panel height restored to full height after resize handle refactor
• Layout simplified — panels are direct flex children, height: 100% resolves correctly

Extension — v1.0.0

• First stable release of the Morgue Chrome Extension
• Matches full Morgue app theme (light + dark mode)
• One-click capture with screenshot, name, URL, folder, and tag assignment

• Offline queue — captures saved locally and synced when app reopens

App — sidebar drag fix

• Sidebar and info panel now always fill 100% height (fixed minHeight: 0 + height: 100% on flex containers)
• Widths only commit to Zustand store on mouseUp, not every pixel of movement

App — HTTP server /tags endpoint

• New GET /tags endpoint returns all existing tag names from SQLite
• Used by extension to populate tag suggestions

Extension — tag improvements

• Existing tags fetched from Morgue app and shown as clickable chip suggestions below the tags input
• Chips update dynamically as you type — shows matching tags, filtered by current input
• Click a chip to add it; click again to remove it
• Tags correctly styled in dark mode (used CSS variables throughout)

Extension — dark mode polish

• Select/dropdown dark mode: chevron arrow recoloured for dark bg, option elements inherit theme colours
• Tag chips use var(--accent) and var(--border) — work correctly in both themes

Extension — screenshot rounded corners

• Preview image and container now have border-radius: 8px for a softer feel

Extension — version → 0.5.0

Extension — dark mode toggle

• Sun/moon toggle button in popup header
• Dark theme CSS variables ([data-theme="dark"]) added to popup.css
• Preference persisted in chrome.storage.local — survives browser restarts
• Toggle applies instantly without page reload

App — real-time extension sync

• HTTP server now emits a Tauri event (morgue-asset-added) after every /capture
• React frontend listens via @tauri-apps/api/event and calls invalidateAssets()
• Assets, tags, and counts update instantly when extension saves — no restart needed

App — resizable sidebars

• Left sidebar and right info panel are now drag-resizable
• Drag handle on the inner border of each panel — col-resize cursor
• Left sidebar: 200px min → 400px max
• Right info panel: 220px min → 440px max
• Widths persisted in Zustand store (saved across restarts)
• Grid columns reflow dynamically as sidebar width changes

Crash fix

• Fixed tokio::spawn panic in .setup() — Tauri's setup runs before its tokio runtime
• Now uses std::thread::spawn + tokio::runtime::Runtime::new() for the HTTP server thread
• App no longer crashes on launch with 0.3.0 binary

Chrome Extension

• New extension/ directory — manifest v3 Chrome extension
• Popup matches full Morgue editorial theme (Space Mono, warm off-white, orange accent, grain overlay)
• 4 popup states: offline (Morgue not running), main capture form, success, error
• Auto-captures visible tab screenshot via chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab()
• Pre-fills name (page title) and source URL from active tab
• Folder picker dropdown (populated from Morgue's real folder list)
• Tags input with #tag syntax
• ⌘⇧M keyboard shortcut to open popup
• Right-click context menu: "Save page / image / link to Morgue"

• Extension icons: 16px, 48px, 128px from Morgue icon set

Localhost HTTP server (port 57432)

• Axum HTTP server starts automatically when Morgue launches
• CORS permissive — works with any Chrome extension origin
• GET /status — returns {ok, version}, used by extension to detect if app is open
• GET /folders — returns full folder tree from SQLite for the popup picker
• POST /capture — fully wired end-to-end:
• Decodes base64 PNG screenshot → saves to ~/Library/Application Support/com.morgue.morgue/library/{uuid}.png
• Inserts assets record (type = image) with name, source URL, file path
• Assigns to folder via asset_folders if folder selected
• Upserts tags into tags + asset_tags tables
• Assets appear in Morgue grid immediately on next refresh
• Dependencies added: axum 0.7, tokio 1 (full), tower-http 0.5 (CORS), base64 0.22, sqlx 0.8 (sqlite + runtime-tokio)
