Release 15.2.1 beta 1

Jordy Spruit September 8, 2026 2 min read

I withdrew 15.2.1-beta.1 after installation failures and crashes. It remains unavailable; 15.2.1-beta.2 replaces it and includes the improvements documented below.

These are the original changes since 15.2.0-beta.1, preserved as release history. Install beta 2 for these features together with the update and crash fixes; do not install beta 1.

## A complete capture workflow

Area, Fullscreen, Window, Element and Scrolling capture share a compact toolbar with OCR, Color Picker, a timer and exact dimensions. Native popovers and coordinated animations accompany corrected toolbar clicks, crosshair handling, focus and window selection; window shortcuts retain the saved background, while Shift-click in the picker changes it for one capture. Screenshot drags lift a clean card without action buttons and supply file attachments for chat fields.

## Your Google Calendar inside Droppy

Connect your own Google account, select calendars and manage events inside Droppy. Google verification is still pending; the sign-in popover explains warnings and early-access limits, and some accounts may be blocked until approval.

## A more useful clipboard

Copied links get richer cards, pinboards can be reordered, and history has retention, unlimited storage, shortcut and sync controls. Reusable previews and less background work improve clipboard scrolling, screenshot preparation and Basket transfers.

## More live activity in the notch

Wi-Fi and Personal Hotspot connections get HUDs, external drives offer safe eject, and screen recordings have live controls and finished-video previews. The recording above shows recording controls, Full Battery and drive cards.

## Stability was a major part of this beta

The lid-close sync crash is fixed alongside notch reveal, screenshot-stack and malformed-data crashes. Accurate OCR also handles small macOS 27 selections without shrinking their text. Ring handles resized Settings, full layouts and special-key macros; clipboard Space previews, widget mouse scrolling, Now Playing artwork and timing, notch hover and conversion buttons respond correctly.

## Twelve further areas of fixes

Twelve further areas cover updater handoff, Sync authorization, deleted notes, LocalSend, preview cleanup, location permissions, lock-screen sleep, clipboard editing, right-to-left controls, third-party recordings, microphone choices and Settings input. These address failed operations, stale state and controls that previously stopped responding.

## Eleven more additions

Eleven more additions include screenshot Space previews, capture text selection, window backgrounds, Weather units, Ring speeds, right-click choices, Full Battery cards, native-banner hiding, Apple Mail alerts, recording audio sync and chip-specific downloads. Together they make more daily tasks accessible from Droppy.

## Polish and less background work

Buttons, native fields, fonts and HUD spacing are more consistent, with Shortcuts now in the sidebar and a consistently scaled Command icon. Packaging and inactive background work are smaller; eight further refinements cover Calendar layout and notices, lock-screen refreshes, Ring app selection, track titles, shadows, translations and HUD sizing.
