Settings › Notes language can change this. 5cut now translates more of the app. • Premium: search all saved transcripts from Recents and jump to the moment. AI notes cover the whole lecture and stay saved. Speaker identification runs in the background on iOS 26. • Lectures from Photos open again. We fixed the "no permission" error. • Burned-in subtitles follow the trimmed video. • Settings › Storage shows what 5cut keeps. Deleting a project frees its space. • New models: Parakeet Ultra and Phonon-2 (English). Apple transcription of imported files no longer gets stuck. On iOS 26, transcription continues when the phone locks. • A free export counts only when you share or save. Smart Export Lite writes fill-in-the-blank cards.

5cut 1.2.5 — privacy, audio quality, and reliability. • Nothing you record leaves your device. The speech engine that could send audio to Apple's servers for some languages has been removed, so every transcript is now made entirely on your iPhone — no server, no account, and it works in airplane mode. • Cleaner cuts: silence removal now fades each edit by a few milliseconds, so trimmed lectures no longer click at every cut. • iCloud files that were offloaded now download instead of reporting "Source Not Found". • Speaker identification uses far less memory and no longer risks running out on long lectures. • Faster editor: the waveform is about ten times quicker to draw, and Smart Mode detection is twice as fast on long recordings. • Imports: files with identical names no longer collide, and drafts recover safely after interrupted imports. • Recorder: completed recordings are preserved through calls and interruptions. • Purchases: clearer free-trial wording, and pending (Ask to Buy) purchases are explained instead of silently failing.

5cut 1.2.4 is a reliability release: • Imports: files with identical names no longer collide, and drafts recover safely after interrupted imports • Recorder: completed recordings are preserved through calls and interruptions • Transcription: better language selection on mixed-language devices, and cleaner sentence breaks in Qwen transcripts • Exports: the free-plan watermark now renders correctly in MP4 and M4V • Purchases: clearer free-trial wording, and pending (Ask to Buy) purchases are handled properly • Localization: every remaining untranslated string is now available in all 9 languages
