### What’s New in CatRecorder 1.6.1 More flexible capture, clearer audio, and a smoother recording workflow. #### New Features - New recording panel: Choose a screen, area, window, or app from one place. Reopen the panel anytime from the Dock or menu bar. - Multi-window and multi-app selection: Select across searches, review or remove selected targets, and capture them in their original positions on a chosen display. - Capture previews: Preview your selected screen, window, or app before recording. Requires macOS 14 or later. - System audio and microphone mixing: Audio is mixed into a single track when saving by default for straightforward playback. Separate tracks remain available for editing. System audio capture requires macOS 13 or later. - Microphone selection: Use the system default input or choose a specific device, with notifications when the active microphone disconnects. - Mouse click highlighting: Make demonstrations easier to follow with native click rings. Requires macOS 15 or later. - Capture filtering: Hide desktop icons while keeping the wallpaper, and exclude selected applications. - More recording settings: Choose 24/30/60 FPS, standard or Retina resolution, three quality levels, H.264/HEVC encoding, and an optional countdown. #### Improvements & Fixes - Clearer preparation, countdown, recording, paused, and saving states help prevent duplicate actions. - Collapsed controls keep the recording timer, pause, and stop actions accessible. - The completion panel now includes playback, Show in Finder, and confirmed Move to Trash actions. - Improved multi-display selection coordinates, control placement, camera previews, and beauty effects. - Fixed microphone capture continuing after being disabled and recordings ending too early on static screens. - Improved capture buffering, preview updates, and error cleanup. Original recordings are preserved if audio mixing fails. Please note: Multi-target recording uses a single display as its canvas; cross-display stitching is not supported. App exclusion is not a privacy or security boundary—close sensitive content before recording.

Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue where the orange microphone indicator in the macOS menu bar would remain visible after stopping a recording with microphone capture enabled. The indicator previously only disappeared when quitting CatRecorder. The underlying AVCaptureSession is now properly torn down as soon as recording ends, immediately releasing the microphone hardware and clearing the system indicator.
