Why

The README was two releases stale — it still said "Status: v0 (slices 1–2). No sign-in yet (planned), Linux build pending" and only documented building from source. That undersells the shipped app and is a poor landing spot for anyone arriving from a launch post.

What changed

  • New Install section — Homebrew cask (brew install --cask pixelvault-dev/tap/pixelvault, tap is on v0.3.0) + direct download of the universal.dmg / .AppImage / .deb / .rpm from Releases, with the macOS Gatekeeper right-click → Open note (builds are unsigned today).
  • Accurate accounts/privacy — 5-upload anonymous trial → sign-in (device login) for keyed uploads with no trial gate, Recent-uploads history, and optional private signed URLs. States plainly that links are time-limited (~30 days) — this is a paste-into-your-agent tool, not long-term hosting (no "permanent uploads" overclaim).
  • Release/license/platform/Tauri badges; kept How it works, Build from source, Stack, License.

Verified against the repo's CLAUDE.md, the v0.3.0 release assets, and the Homebrew tap cask (currently v0.3.0).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The README still described the v0 status (no sign-in, Linux pending) and only
documented building from source. Rewrite it for the shipped v0.3.0:

- Add an Install section (Homebrew cask + direct .dmg/.AppImage/.deb/.rpm
  download) with the macOS Gatekeeper note for unsigned builds.
- Describe accounts accurately: 5-upload anonymous trial, sign-in (device
  login) for keyed uploads + recent-uploads history + optional private signed
  URLs. State that links are time-limited (~30 days) by design.
- Add release/license/platform badges; keep How it works, Build, Stack, License.
