Release

Fresh v0.1.18 updates

Desktop checkout links now open in the OS browser, and the in-app Pro price matches the current $29 storefront price.

Recent releases, translated

The changelog remains the source of truth. This page turns the busy release notes into a scannable product story.

0.1.18

  • External checkout and support links open in the OS browser from the desktop shell.
  • The in-app Pro price constant now matches the current $29 storefront price.
  • The app and native installer metadata identify this release as 0.1.18.

0.1.17

  • Retired MediaCreate, MediaGen, and MediaTrends pages were removed from the storefront.
  • The current $29 Pro price is reflected across site and docs.
  • The purchase path stays visible during the free trial flow.

0.1.16

  • Long-running create/render work is less likely to stall the app.
  • Desktop health checks and stale database recovery are more robust.
  • The What's New callout now lives in the main navigation CTA area.

0.1.15

  • Packaged builds now bundle the lightweight faster-whisper Base model.
  • New users can transcribe local media offline on first run without waiting for an ASR download.
  • Small and larger speech models remain available as quality upgrades.

0.1.14

  • Search stays responsive while a library indexes — heavy work (transcription, embeddings, frames, faces) now runs entirely in the background job queue.
  • Exact on-screen-text (OCR) matches are treated as confident hits in search results.
  • Smarter first-run model-picker defaults.
  • Stabilization guardrails keep background work and UI state from getting stuck, plus a round of release bug-bash hardening.

0.1.13

  • Re-transcribe a single file on demand, right from the play page.
  • The ASR model's download status now shows up front, before you retranscribe.
  • whisper-cpp no longer produces blank transcripts in the packaged app (audio is decoded in-process).
  • Recordings are never stranded with an empty transcript when the speech model isn't ready at first index.
  • Search stays responsive — no freezes or cold-load timeouts — while indexing runs.
  • A sweep of stuck job and UI states cleaned up, including the Activity dock and model-change settings.

0.1.12

  • Keyless on-device AI by default: Ask and summaries run on a bundled Mini model with no cloud, account, or download — and Small is a one-tap quality upgrade.
  • A unified Activity dock gathers all indexing, downloads, model fetches, and background jobs into one always-present place.
  • MediaCreate: an on-device video studio fed straight from search results, with FCPXML/EDL/OTIO/AAF interchange export and OTIO re-import.
  • Celebrity recognition now spans ~3,700 public figures with more precise name matches.
  • Indexing reuses analysis sidecars to restore transcripts, summaries, and chapters before recomputing.
  • Cleaner AI summaries (non-speech markers stripped), a fixed download-start freeze, and entitlement-aware face-indexing defaults.

0.1.11

  • Meetings, redesigned: batch-process recordings, roll up cross-meeting follow-ups, toggle Source vs. transcript, and Copy-as-Markdown — with curated action items and decisions.
  • Live indexing progress: one expandable job card with clear stages while you add videos.
  • Faces are selected by default when adding media (still Pro-gated).
  • Category chips now open in Home for a more precise browse.
  • A sweeping accessibility pass across the whole app — labels, keyboard focus, and screen-reader announcements.
  • Steadier search under load, a faster launch, and offline face detection in the packaged app.
