More control over Screenshot Organizer

Tapquence now makes Screenshot Organizer easier to start, inspect and recover while keeping screenshot processing local to your Mac.

Added

A clear main switch and runtime status showing when Screenshot Organizer is off, starting, running or needs attention.
A non-destructive preview of the latest matching screenshot, predicted filename and destination before anything is moved.
A local recent-activity list with Show in Finder and safe Undo controls for recent organized screenshots.

Improved

Setup now focuses on the destination folder while Tapquence automatically follows the screenshot location configured in macOS.
Validation catches unavailable folders, unsafe folder loops and unusable fallback names before the automation starts.
Account settings show a neutral loading state while an existing saved session is checked.

Privacy

Screenshot names, paths, visible text and recent activity stay on this Mac and are not added to analytics.

A clearer first start and richer Routine Scout Macros

Tapquence now makes the best starting path clearer and helps Routine Scout turn more of a demonstrated workflow into a useful, editable Macro.

Added

A clearer Home hierarchy that leads with Routine Scout and offers direct paths to ready-made automations, templates, manual Macro creation and Auto Clicker.
Short contextual guidance for Repeat Blocks, item-driven values, Wait Until Image and local OCR without interrupting the editor.
Routine Scout support for useful scroll actions, one-time website setup and switching between applications in a repeated workflow.

Improved

New users finish technical onboarding on Home and can choose how they want to start instead of being pushed into a generic Macro tutorial.
First-use Routine Scout explains the local observation session before it starts, while existing permission and privacy checks remain in place.
List-driven Routine Scout results open the relevant Repeat Block settings and explain how each line becomes the current item.

Privacy

Routine Scout remains local, does not read browser history or tab URLs, and only recognizes website addresses deliberately typed or pasted during the observed routine.
OCR guidance makes clear that recognized text stays on the Mac and is not sent to Tapquence analytics or cloud services.

A visible Routine Scout session while you work

Routine Scout now stays available in a compact local controller, shows privacy-safe progress and can keep several useful routine candidates ready for review.

Added

A compact always-visible Routine Scout controller with pause, stop and review controls while the main Tapquence window stays out of the way.
Live generic progress for observed actions and emerging patterns without exposing typed values, coordinates, app names, URLs or captured content.
Up to three distinct routine candidates from one temporary session, each ready to become a normal editable Macro.

Improved

Completed candidates remain available while Routine Scout continues observing, so an incomplete trailing task no longer replaces a useful result.
Routine ranking favors meaningful complete tasks over frequently repeated micro-actions.
Session controls, pending review and Macro review actions use clearer accessible Tapquence states and restore the main window predictably.

Privacy

Routine Scout remains local, excludes secure input and sensitive apps, and shows only generic status information in its controller.
Email messages now use a consistent Tapquence signature, while optional product emails include a direct secure unsubscribe path.

Smarter Routine Scout and safer account continuation

Routine Scout can recognize complete repeated tasks and changing list items, while account verification and approved email links safely return you to the Tapquence route you already started.

Added

Routine Scout can recognize changing text values and prepare an item-driven Repeat Block with current-item variables.
Approved Tapquence email links can open Routine Scout, Smart Automations, Macro Templates or Auto Clicker without starting or activating anything automatically.
Account creation remembers only the allowlisted product route you started and resumes it after verification.

Improved

Routine Scout favors complete, stable repeated tasks over small coincidental click patterns.
The Macro Template Library is organized around practical results, with compatibility for existing saved Macros and older template links.
Account settings and guest-to-account continuation are clearer while analytics and optional product-email consent remain separate.
Unknown or malformed Tapquence routes fall back safely to Home and never carry Macro content, OCR text or configuration data.

One-click email verification

Creating a Tapquence account no longer requires copying a six-digit code. A secure verification link works on phone or computer and completes setup automatically on the Mac.

Improved

Account verification now uses a secure email link instead of a six-digit code.
One deliberate click leads directly to Email verified, without a second confirmation button.
Tapquence detects verification automatically and finishes account setup on the requesting Mac.
Day 1, day 3 and day 7 verification reminders now provide a fresh link that remains valid for 24 hours.

Security

Verification links keep their secret outside ordinary GET requests and require a browser-generated POST, reducing accidental activation by common email link scanners.
The polling credential remains bound to the Mac that requested verification, while older Tapquence versions retain temporary code-verification compatibility.

Notifications and practical List Filler templates

Macros can now send a banner, play a sound or do both without interrupting the workflow, while two new List Filler templates make fixed and item-driven repeat blocks easier to start.

Added

A Notification Macro action with Banner + sound, Banner only and Sound only delivery options.
Custom notification titles and messages, including current-item, line-number and total-item variables inside item-driven Repeat Blocks.
List Filler | Dynamic for processing one URL or value per repeat, and List Filler | Fixed for repeating the same reviewed action sequence.

Improved

Notifications are non-blocking, so the next Macro action starts immediately after the alert is sent.
Template guidance now explains when to use a predictable Wait and when to use Image to Wait for variable loading times.
List Filler workflow previews keep repeated actions visually nested beneath their Repeat Block.

A clear result for every item in your Macro

List-based Macros now explain what happened to every URL or value, including exactly what a visual wait looked for and whether it timed out.

Added

A complete item report after For Each Item runs, covering successful and skipped items.
Find Image details per item: the reference image, actual wait duration and a clear Found or Timed out result.
A persistent Last run report in the Macro options menu, plus a Copy full report action for troubleshooting or sharing.

Improved

Screen-area selection starts cleanly on every capture and only draws after a deliberate new click and drag.
Reference-image and OCR capture keep the underlying screen visible while an area is selected.

Try Tapquence before creating an account

New users can now complete ten successful automations as a guest before a free Tapquence account is required.

Added

Ten successful guest runs across Macros, Smart Automations and the Auto Clicker.
A visible guest-run balance in the account area and navigation.

Improved

Registration is requested only before the eleventh successful run, after users have had time to experience Tapquence.
Failed, stopped, invalid and single-action test runs do not reduce the guest balance.

Verified

The complete account flow was tested in production, including verification email delivery, code activation, device registration and licensed feature access.

Clearer feedback when Presentation Mode starts

Presentation Mode now confirms which Mac settings were applied and keeps its file and start controls cleanly attached to the bottom of the setup.

Added

A visual Presentation Mode start summary that confirms the active mode, notification silence, output volume and opened items.

Improved

Presentation file controls are aligned consistently, and the start bar now stays attached to the bottom of the setup instead of floating above it.
The start summary distinguishes settings that were applied, left unchanged or could not be changed.

Find applications faster in every workflow

Application choices are now searchable throughout Tapquence, with cleaner dropdowns and support for opening or bringing Tapquence itself forward from a Macro.

Added

Searchable application pickers for Macro actions, target applications and Smart Automations.
Tapquence as an available choice for Open Application and Bring Application Forward.

Improved

A consistent visual style for dropdown controls throughout the app.
Saved Website Sets now show only the name you entered, without extra item-count labels.
Application results can be filtered by app name or bundle identifier.

Protected

Close Application continues to prevent Tapquence from closing itself while a Macro is running.

Presentation Mode, prepared around your meeting

Presentation Mode now brings decks, supporting pages, optional meetings and temporary Mac settings together in a faster, more focused setup.

Added

A central System Calendar connection in Settings that remains available until you disconnect it.
Today’s supported Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex and FaceTime meetings inside Presentation Mode.
Automatic meeting-link opening for a supported meeting that starts within 10 minutes, while leaving the final Join action to you.
Reusable Website Sets shared by Presentation Mode and Workday Launcher.

Improved

A more compact, laptop-friendly Presentation Mode layout with the presentation file and Start control always close at hand.
The meeting application picker now shows supported meeting apps instead of every installed application.
Presentation files use a focused file picker, and opening a meeting remains optional for in-person presentations.
Presentation preparation starts more smoothly and restores temporary Mac settings when it stops.

Fixed

Presentation Mode no longer stalls while its calendar and application data are being prepared.
Website Sets can be deleted reliably, with a confirmation step before removal.
Presentation setup stays aligned and usable when the Tapquence window is made smaller.

A much more capable Macro builder

Screen-based automation is now easier to build, understand and run on a single display.

Added

Visual OCR area selection with a clear rectangle before text is copied to the clipboard.
Image Search with image picker, screen-area capture, confidence control and move-or-click behaviour.
A Scroll action with up, down, pixel-distance and recorded-scroll options.
Native file and folder pickers for Open File and Open Folder actions.

Improved

Compact Mode is genuinely narrow and still lets you add actions beside another app.
Click, Application, Open and Screen actions expose their actual behaviours and use descriptive names.
Actions after Open Application inherit the opened application as their sensible default target.
Guided multi-click capture now sits beside Pick a Position and starts after a 0.5-second handoff.

Fixed

Inline validation highlights the exact action that needs attention and explains how to resolve it.
Compact Mode reliably returns to the full editor and menus close when clicking elsewhere.
Macro deletion requires confirmation, and Macro cards show clearer update timing.

Smart Automations arrive

Ready-made automations for recurring moments in your day, without requiring a custom Macro first.

Added

Organize Screenshots for safely naming and moving new screenshots.
Presentation Mode for keeping the display awake and reducing interruptions.
Meeting Mode for preparing Focus, volume and a notes application.
Start Workday for opening applications and websites on a schedule.

Website, guides and update delivery

The public beta gained a clearer website, searchable help and a signed update path.

Published

An indexable Help Center and practical installation, permission and workflow guides.
A signed and notarized macOS download with in-app OTA update support.
Clearer privacy choices and consent-aware download measurement.
