Game update
Update — v2026.716.1337
Playto: Learn Languages Through Games · published · build 24233079
Changed
- New default capture hotkeys (F2–F5) — the previous defaults (F7–F10) overlapped with Japanese IME conversion keys. Start/Stop is now F2, Pause F3, Shutter F4, and the overlay toggle F5. If you haven't customized your hotkeys, they migrate automatically on the first launch after this update; customized bindings are left untouched. You can change them anytime in Settings.
Improved
- One-click game switching — the creation dialog that appeared when switching to a new game is gone. Switching now registers the game automatically and takes you straight to the usual start screen.
- Session review — Select All and Deselect All are now always shown as two separate buttons, so you can clear a partial selection in one click.
- Welcome screen — added a Discord link so you can reach us quickly when something doesn't work.
- Review reminders — now enabled by default on new installations.
Fixed
- Fixed overlay flicker in window capture when a small animated element (such as a progress bar) keeps changing while the rest of the screen is static.
