Changelog
Shipped, take by take
Recent releases, newest first.
Broadcast — publish, on-brand
2026-07-11- Branding Kit adds intro/outro cards and a corner watermark; Audio Ducking keeps music under speech; AI Publish Kit drafts title, description, and chapters from transcript plus markers.
- Cursor spotlight + click sounds ship in preview and export parity, global record shortcuts are remappable with conflict badges, and long takes now transcribe past Whisper's 25 MB cap via silence-split chunking and timeline stitch.
1.0.1 — polish over Showtime
2026-07-11- Bundled background presets land in one click (Leica, Pikachu, Cyberpunk, Dopamine, Ocean Blue), each with a graceful fallback if the wallpaper file is missing.
- Region recording gains a live boundary selector, plus a keyboard shortcut cheat sheet (?) that stays in sync with the app's real shortcut catalog.
- The export flow is unified: single exports and recipe-backed export sets now live in one workspace instead of split sheets.
- These changes shipped as build 45 to harden the 1.0 workflow before Broadcast.
Christmas arrives
2026-07-07- A new Christmas theme joins Friday Night — an evergreen backdrop with drifting snow, a twinkling tree, and gingerbread and stocking decorations. The app's logo and Dock icon dress for the season while it's active.
- The site now calls out reframing any recording to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 — landscape, Reels/TikTok/Shorts, or square posts.
- Plus polish: Christmas no longer offers Friday Night's music track, two Settings buttons had gone untranslated, and the editor's Cover buttons and the site's own nav are fixed.
Camera bubble polish
2026-07-03- The live webcam preview is now a rounded, shadowed M3-style bubble, and rounded PiP is the default style for new recordings.
- Camera-on recordings stop reliably: webcam session setup and teardown now run through one serial queue.
- Shortcut panels across the app and site now share the same grouped layout and separated keycaps, with localization filled in.
Zero-permission cursor capture
2026-07-03- Cursor overlays, click ripples, and auto-zoom now need no permission — clicks and moves are read from public CoreGraphics state, so they work out of the box in both editions.
- Recordings and exports always land in the real ~/Movies folders, and Settings gains Change… so the recordings folder can live anywhere — the pick survives relaunch.
Decoration glow-up
2026-07-03- The disco ball is now a real mirror-tile mosaic — top-lit facets, a hanger loop, and glints that twinkle in place instead of spinning with the ball. The wine glass gains a liquid surface, glassy tint, shine streaks, and sways on its base.
- The Recording Check fixes permission problems where it reports them — Grant… and Open Settings… on every row — and warnings you've recorded through stop interrupting.
- The verismo CLI rides out app-relaunch socket races.
Osmo becomes Verismo
2026-07-03- New name across the app, the verismo CLI, and the docs — existing recordings open unchanged.
- Brand logo restored in the control bar and Library; the display typography slimmed from heavy to semibold.
Lasers for everyone
2026-07-02- The rotating laser rig now radiates from the disco ball too, so both party flourishes are lit consistently.
Friday Night
2026-07-02- Disco ball and wine glass frame decorations, plus rotating laser lights for the spinning-vinyl webcam — the Friday Night theme seeds them all on.
- Smart Trim keeps the music bed continuous instead of cutting it at every filler word.
Teleprompter tune-up
2026-07-02- Speaker notes lay out at full height, scroll properly, and open at their intended size. Builds are signed under the new Apple Developer team.
Speaker notes
2026-07-02- A floating teleprompter you read while recording — auto-scroll or drag — that never appears in the capture. Fully localized (English, 简体中文, 日本語).
