What's new in Pixel Dust, newest first.

0.1.0 17 August 2026 Private beta

Pixel Dust private beta

The first release of Pixel Dust. It remembers what was on your screen so you can find it again later — and it all happens on your Mac.

What you can do

  • Pixel Dust runs quietly in the background and keeps a record of what you saw, adjusting itself to stay light on your Mac.
  • It reads the text on your screen and makes it searchable — all on your Mac, with nothing sent anywhere.
  • Your history is stored encrypted on your Mac, so only you can open it.
  • Find anything with ⌘⇧Space: search the exact words you remember, or just describe what you were looking at.
  • Ask a question in plain English and get an answer drawn from your own history, not the web.
  • Decide what's off limits — skip whole apps or individual windows, hide sensitive words, and delete the last few minutes or everything at once.
  • Pause any time from the menu bar. One click and Pixel Dust stops watching.

Refinements

  • Clearer alerts when macOS turns off a permission Pixel Dust needs, so capture never stops without you knowing.
  • A refreshed walkthrough for your first few minutes with the app.

Coming next

  • Managed AI answers — opt-in, with a clear disclosure before anything leaves your Mac.
  • Bring your own AI provider and key.
  • A companion app for iPhone and iPad.
  • Pixel Dust on the App Store and Setapp.
