The big new thing in here is shortcuts! Most of the options in the app are available in shortcuts too. This version adds anonymous analytics so I can see which features are being used. No personal information is included.

Updated the list of Mastodon instances and made a couple of things a bit snazzier here and there! Enjoy!

Add support for the new liquid glass look in iOS 26. That's it! Enjoy!

Fixed checking whether you've paid when squishing videos from other apps using the sharing action extension, and stopped requiring an Internet connection to check whether you've paid too. All of this should be much smoother now.

Adds support for iOS 17 again and fixes some bugs with tap targets in settings

You can now easily compress videos for Discord, GitHub, and WhatsApp in addition to Mastodon. Or choose any file size you want and the app figures out how to hit that target. Being picky with custom settings is way better now because videos are a lot smaller, and you can choose your quality to decide how fantastic or potato you want them to look, or how big or small, or whatever matters to you. Better support for large dynamic type sizes, especially the absolutely massive accessibility sizes. The share extension has all of the features that the app has now, because it is the app, like a weird ouroboros thing. Memory usage has been optimized and the app no longer crashes when you frantically change settings like a lunatic. Go ahead and try, I dare ya. The iPad interface has been overhauled and sucks a lot less than it used to!

*** Mastodon Features *** • Instance-Specific Limits – Now tailored for your local Mastodon server. Larger file sizes, HEVC which means 4k and HDR colour support, and silky smooth 120 fps. • High Frame Rate Mode ($) – Prioritize frame rates over resolution when compressing for Mastodon if you like. This is a paid feature. • FPS Preservation – Instead of forcing videos to 30, 60, or 120 fps, the original—and possibly variable—frame rate will be preserved when possible. *** Other Features *** • Streamlined Experience – To squish a recent video you can probably just tap on it right away now that the picker shows up without even having to tap a button. What luxury. • HDR (bright af) to SDR (boring) Conversion – When doing a custom export you can now choose to preserve or drop HDR colours. • Theme Tweaks – Gave the themes a refresh to make things work better on iOS 18. Light is now lighter and dark is now darker! Bugs were crushed. No ants were harmed.

*NEW* Ants for everyone! Now you can choose to keep ants on your videos after you've paid to not have ants on your video ... it makes sense, I swear. *NEW* Pow! More fun! Life is too short to use boring apps so now it's less boring. *NEW* Report broken videos. Nobody's perfect ok? When a video doesn't work you can send it to me and maybe it'll be fixed. *FIXED* Now you can select the same video twice in a row and it'll work instead of just doing nothing. *FIXED* Lower the bitrate for 1080p at 30 fps to fix issues uploading to some Mastodon instances. *FIXED* The button to restore a previous purchase always shows up now instead of being invisible. Due to the ability to report and upload videos for support, my privacy policy has changed. https://videoforants.app/privacy.html

This version adds one new feature and fixes two bugs: * NEW: Fall back to 1080p at 30fps before dropping the resolution to 720p * FIXED: Compressing videos at 1080p / 60fps could result in videos that were too large to upload to mastodon.social, and probably other instances * FIXED: The button to start over after compressing a video was invisible and now you can actually see it Thanks a bunch to @GeekAndDad@mastodon.social for helping out with the compression bug!

This version *actually* fixes the colours in the screen where you change the app icon. Now the navigation bar will always match your selected icon, and though you have no reason to believe me this time around I promise that it’s truly fixed. Also fixes the text colour for links in the open-source acknowledgments in the settings screen. And lastly, there’s a new default app icon with a cooler-looking colour scheme. That's it! Enjoy!

Fixed ants not showing up on videos! I know you were very concerned about that but don't worry now your freeloading days are over! Phew!

Hello person who doesn't auto update! You're a gem. I fixed a few bugs in this version and made some refinements that aren't really worth mentioning. But you're here and I think you might like to know, so I'll tell you anyway. - [NEW] Gets rid of most back button titles. You might be wondering why that's better. Well, I just like it more. It's honestly probably worse but it is still new. - [FIXED] When you go back while exporting a video it now gets cancelled instead of continuing in the background. Did you realize that happened? Sorry for your battery life if you cancelled all the time. I felt bad. - [NERDS] The app now uses Swift's strict concurrency checking. You've never been safer from memory corruption. tbh the most important thing is that it fixes a typo in the app description, shout out to @timanderson@hachyderm.io

- Throw an obnoxious amount of ants on your videos before you pony up - Fix progress for exports with custom settings
