Devlog #6

Kept using SnipClip all day and it felt fine. Then I watched what it was doing when I wasn’t snipping.

The clipboard monitor opened the clipboard twice every 400ms, even when nothing changed. Windows already has GetClipboardSequenceNumber() for that. Check the number, skip if it’s the same, and when something did change, one open reads both text and image.

OCR was freezing the window because it ran on the UI thread. Models now load in the background at startup, and recognition happens off the main thread. Snips reuse the same GDI region capture as recording instead of grabbing the whole monitor.

Also cleaned up the empty vault, the Alt+C palette copy, and the README so a stranger can actually try it. Bumping to v1.3.0.

Copy something, hit Ctrl+Shift+V, then Alt+C. That’s the loop.
