Get RefDrop for Windows.
Self-contained .NET 8 build. ~56 MB single-file. Works on Windows 10 1809 and later (x64). Free, no account, no telemetry.
v0.3.7
Latest
2026-07-10
Shortcuts that work the moment you install — and reliably for everyone. RefDrop now ships default hotkeys on Ctrl+Alt+number instead of the Ctrl+Shift+number range that Windows reserves for input-language switching (which silently broke shortcuts for Korean/Japanese/Chinese keyboard users). The Settings window also fits smaller and high-DPI screens now.

What's new in 0.3.7
- Default shortcuts, ready on install. Region Ctrl+Alt+1, Fullscreen Ctrl+Alt+2, Active window Ctrl+Alt+3, Repeat last Ctrl+Alt+4 — no setup needed. (Earlier versions shipped every shortcut unbound.)
- Fixes shortcuts for input-method (IME) users. Windows reserves Ctrl+Shift+number for switching input language on Korean/Japanese/Chinese setups, so those combos silently never fired. RefDrop now defaults to Ctrl+Alt+number, steers you away from the reserved range when you rebind, and recovers the key even when an IME is active.
- Settings window fits every screen. On smaller or high-DPI displays the window no longer runs off the bottom edge — it clamps to your screen's working area.

Version history
v0.3.7
Safe default shortcuts & IME fixes. Ships working defaults on Ctrl+Alt+1–4 instead of the Ctrl+Shift+number range Windows reserves for input-language switching (which broke shortcuts for Korean/Japanese/Chinese users), warns when you pick a reserved combo, and keeps the Settings window on-screen on small/high-DPI displays.

v0.3.6
IME hotkey binding hotfix. Fixes global-hotkey assignment for users typing with a Korean/Japanese/Chinese IME — combos like Ctrl+Shift+0 can now be bound in Settings → Hotkeys, where the keypress was previously swallowed by the input method. Esc-to-cancel and Delete/Backspace-to-unbind during capture work under an IME too.

v0.3.5
Stability & reliability pass. Fixes brief app freezes on PureRef sends and Step Recorder clicks, speeds up History search, fixes a rare freeze on quit, and corrects the browser extension's PureRef status display and daily send-limit accuracy.

Extension reconnect, quieter sends & Pro. Fixes the Chrome private-network block that left the extension offline, stops browser sends from popping a desktop notification, and adds a 50-image free daily tier with a $5.99 lifetime Pro upgrade plus an English-default language switch.

v0.3.3
Capture restore & update controls. The dashboard returns after a capture instead of dropping to the tray, and Settings → General → Updates lets you pick how the updater behaves (auto-install, notify-only, or off).

v0.3.2
Security & stability. SHA-256-verified auto-updates, fixed capture/loupe memory leaks, correct mixed-DPI multi-monitor crops, a hardened extension server (origin validation, request-size cap, no save-folder leak), and power-loss-safe settings writes.

v0.3.1
Capture-time auto-hide. RefDrop's own windows briefly hide before any screen snap so they never bake into or block the capture. Pinned windows stay visible.
