V3.1 keeps screenshots, copied content and file tools close at hand.

Start a quick screenshot with Alt+Q, annotate it, extract text and translate between Chinese and English locally. One-click recording mode brings clipboard monitoring and screenshot history together; new tools find duplicate files and add PDF scan effects.

71 tools · 12 categories PDF, PPT, image, audio, video, text, calculators, creative, cleanup, AI, hardware and developer workflows.
New in V3.1 Quick screenshots, duplicate-file cleanup and PDF scan effects. Local Chinese-English translation uses an optional downloaded model.
46 CLI/MCP capabilities The 46 published CLI/MCP capabilities remain available to scripts and IDE Agents. This desktop release does not publish a new npm package.
More compatible local processing Background removal can fall back to CPU after GPU failure. Runtime detection, resumable model downloads, dual themes and tray recovery are improved.
