Version 1.0.19

- Everything in the app responds faster, including Save, because it no longer pauses for several seconds before each task.
- The first time you open this version, give it a few extra seconds to get ready.
22 October 2026

21 October 2026
Version 1.0.17
- A talk you add from a YouTube link is now named after the video in your library, instead of "youtube".

Version 1.0.16
- On a Mac, a talk keeps going when the app is behind other windows or minimised, so you can work on something else while it runs.
- A brief connection problem while the moments are being picked no longer fails the run.
20 October 2026
Version 1.0.15
- Groundwork for steadier framing, so the frame stays on the person speaking when the camera angle changes.
- Nothing changes in how you use the app.
19 October 2026
Version 1.0.14
- Running two talks at once no longer leaves clips stuck on the way to your library.
- Clips still on their way to your library carry on uploading when you next open the app.
- A run that is still sending its clips is no longer shown as Stopped.
- Finish it sends clips already made instead of making them again.
- Every clip made on your computer can now be trimmed on the website, by you or your team.
- A YouTube link that will not download is tried again, and a run our servers take over shows its progress in the app.
19 October 2026
Version 1.0.13
- Start your second service while the first one is still being made. Both finish, and the one you started first is ready first.
- Each clip now shows how far along it is, like "Rendering 64%".
- The progress bar keeps moving while your clips are being made, so a long talk no longer looks stuck.
18 October 2026
Version 1.0.12
- Trimming a clip keeps the framing it already had, instead of sometimes coming back cropped to the middle.
- Clips from a sped-up talk now run straight into the end card, with no stutter where the two meet.
- Finishing a clip is quicker, because the end card is joined on without being made again.
- The caption preview on the Branding page now lays words out exactly as the website's does, line breaks and spacing included.
15 October 2026
Version 1.0.11
- When an update is ready, the update window now lists what is new in it before you install.

14 October 2026
Version 1.0.10
- Livestream links (youtube.com/live/...) now work in the app, as they do on the website.
- Signing out everywhere or changing your password on the website now signs the app out too, with one clear sign-in screen instead of a string of errors.
- The app now checks your recording is still on your computer before working from it again, so a moved or deleted file is caught straight away instead of failing partway.
- Clicking your email in the sidebar now asks before signing you out, and when your browser will not open you get a sign-in link you can copy.
- Manage in browser opens your Plan and billing page, and error messages point to Support in the app. Windows no longer shows Mac words like this Mac or Press ⌘C.
- On a team, only the owner changes the shared Branding, and the Mac installer is now notarised too, so it opens without a warning.
13 October 2026
Version 1.0.9
- Branding in the app now matches the website: Captions, Video look and Your brand.
- Your logos and outros are kept as libraries you can add to and switch between, right under the settings they belong to.

- Plan and billing no longer shows a renewal date that has already passed.

- Questions that ask you to confirm, such as before deleting or resuming a run, now work on Mac as well as Windows.
28 September 2026
Version 1.0.4
- On Windows, questions that ask you to confirm now appear. Before, actions like deleting or resuming a run silently did nothing.
- Resuming a run that stopped now works on Windows, because it starts with one of those questions.
26 September 2026
Version 1.0.3
- Windows PCs can now make clips themselves. Before, clips with Reduce background noise failed when they were saved to a second drive.
- If making a clip on your computer stalls, the app hands it to our servers after 15 minutes instead of waiting forever.
26 September 2026
Version 1.0.2
- Clips with Reduce background noise are now made on your own computer too, instead of being sent to our servers.
- The Rendering progress no longer gets stuck when every clip is already in your library.
26 September 2026
Version 1.0.1
- A computer that can make clips itself now does so reliably, instead of quietly sending the whole run to our servers.

- After a run from a file on your computer, the app sends a little footage either side of each clip, so you can trim or extend it later.
- A long run no longer stays on its last clip when that clip has already finished.
25 September 2026
Version 1.0.0
- ReelUse for Mac and Windows is now a free public beta, on the Downloads page.

- A capable computer makes the clips itself. When it cannot, those clips are made on our servers instead.
- The app keeps itself up to date: it checks when it opens and every few hours.
- On Windows, the first open may show a security prompt: choose More info, then Run anyway.
