Rebuilds the MeowDisplay 2.0 press kit from a new capture session on physical hardware. It replaces the earlier four-screenshot edition.

Contents (44 approved files, SHA-256 checked by tools/press-kit/build.py)

  • Screenshots (17): released 2.0.0 apps on an iPhone 14 Pro Max (5), iPad 9th gen (7) and MacBook Air M2 (5 Mac app windows). They cover Window view with 2 and 3 panes, window pickers, Stage Peek (compact and over panes), the control tray, typing with the Text Bar and Zoom While Typing, Mirror, Extend, input/display settings, and the Mac Overview, Displays, Devices, Input and Remote Access panes. The demo content is meowdisplay.app plus two documents written for the shoot. Edits: the two window-picker images are cropped to exclude unrelated windows, and the external-display thumbnail in the two Stage Peek images is blurred.
  • Mockups (4, transparent): iPhone 14 Pro Max shots in Apple's official frame, used under the App Store Marketing Artwork License for the App Store app. The raw frames are not redistributed. There's no MacBook mockup (see rights review) and no iPad 9th gen mockup (no rights-cleared frame).
  • Graphics (10): hero (light, dark, transparent), social 1200×630, square 1080, widescreen 1920×1080 (light and dark), story 1080×1920, and Window view and Stage Peek feature images. Each one pairs the unframed Mac app window with iPhone mockups or iPad screenshots.
  • Video (2 clips plus posters): iPhone typing with Zoom While Typing, and touch scrolling on the iPad in Extend mode. Each comes in native and 1080p versions, with no audio or overlays.
  • Information: descriptions, fact sheet, Reviewer's Guide (known issues Bug: iPad Custom control layout leaves Window view canvas stale after portrait/landscape rotation #129 and Stage Peek UX: make Normal the default dock and fix landscape card visibility/fade #130 listed as open in 2.0.0), usage, brand and trademark guidelines, asset provenance, and the B-roll shot list.

Rights review (revision 3). The earlier MacBook mockups showed a desktop wallpaper downloaded from a third-party site (wallpapers.betaprofiles.com, now 404). No licence could be found for it, and it doesn't match any wallpaper bundled with macOS 27.0. Apple's Marketing Artwork License covers apps "available for download on the App Store", and the Mac sender is distributed directly. Because of both, the MacBook mockups and the expanded Stage Peek image were removed, and every graphic derived from them was rebuilt around the real Mac app window. The display thumbnail in the Stage Peek screenshots is blurred. The iPad Mirror screenshot shows only thin slivers of the desktop between windows.

Tooling: build.py checks the manifest and provenance, then writes WebP previews, six category ZIPs, the complete ZIP and press.html. Generated output is gitignored and copied to the website repo. The complete ZIP is over Cloudflare Pages' 25 MiB limit, so it's the press-kit-2.0 release asset MeowDisplay-Press-Kit-2.0-r3.zip (33.1 MB, 45 files, SHA-256 942df555…76b0), which is not marked latest. The r1 and r2 assets, which contained the wallpaper, were deleted from the release.

Not included: B-roll for Window view, Stage Peek switching, Natural Touch drag, Remote Access or a Mac-plus-device overview (skipped at the owner's request), a live Remote Access session, and separate light/dark app captures (not needed).

No app code, signing or release workflow changed. PR #126 is untouched.

The MacBook mockups showed a third-party desktop wallpaper whose
redistribution rights could not be verified, and Apple's marketing
artwork licence covers App Store apps while the Mac app ships directly.
Promotional graphics now use the unframed Mac app window, the display
thumbnail in the Stage Peek screenshots is blurred, and the complete
download moves to MeowDisplay-Press-Kit-2.0-r3.zip.
