Improved — Recordings are no longer scaled. Every capture is now taken at the display's true pixel size and left there, because scaling is the single largest quality loss in the pipeline and the app was doing it by default: a 4K display asked for a fixed 1080p output was recorded once and then squeezed, and multi-source recordings were laid out on a canvas smaller than the sources they held. Native is now what the app opens on, every launch, for a single recording and for the merged canvas alike. Improved — The canvas picker says what each choice does. Picking a size now tells you, under the controls, whether your sources fit at their own size or how far they are shrunk, and it names the exact canvas Native builds. Nothing about the size is silent any more. Improved — Export for sharing. The recording stays the master; the new Export button beside each recording writes a smaller copy at 4K, 1440p, 1080p or 720p, scaled once with an area filter chosen for keeping screen text readable. You can rename the copy and choose the folder it goes to. Fixed — The elapsed-time timer never appeared on camera and mobile-screen recordings. It was baked onto display recordings only, silently, with nothing saying why. Fixed — The Camera and mobile screen tab made the app slow. Opening it froze the app for about a second, and simply sitting on it cost real battery: it kept a full screen-mirroring session open on a connected iPhone just to draw a thumbnail, and it was scanning every open window four times a second to check whether Photo Booth was running. It now opens instantly and is quiet. Fixed — Start recording with a shortcut. Command-Shift-. now starts a recording as well as stopping one, and the menu bar shows a recording is running and for how long, so you can start and stop without going to find the window. Fixed — Merge live ignored the "Record Wispframe window" switch and always recorded the app's own window into the merge. Fixed — In Multi mode, the single-source tick stayed lit underneath the numbered badges, and turning Multi off left the sources selected. Fixed — Exporting a recording whose file had been moved or deleted ran the whole job and then failed with an unreadable path. It now says which recording is gone, before starting. Improved — GIF export offers 2 and 5 frames per second, for the kind of GIF that is a few frames of a step rather than a video. Improved — A referral code now works on at most three Macs. A code is good for one day, but the Pro it hands out is not, so a code that got passed around for a single day used to be permanent free Pro for everyone who saw it. Redeeming now checks how many Macs a code has already been used on, and a code that has gone astray can be withdrawn. Nothing about you is sent: the check sees a one-way fingerprint of the code and of the Mac, never the code and never anything that identifies you. Redeeming needs a connection; nothing is used up if it fails.

Fixed — A referral code did nothing in the App Store build. Entering one said Pro was unlocked, showed no days beside it, and by the next launch it was gone — exports carrying the watermark again, the days spent. The app checked the App Store receipt for proof of Pro and treated its silence as an answer, but a referral code is granted by the app itself and is not a purchase, so it appears in no receipt. It was being thrown away, and then deleted. A code now grants what it says, and the app says which kind of Pro you have and for how long. Fixed — A subscription that lapsed also took away any referral days you still had. Those are separate things: one was bought and ended, the other was given and had not. Improved — A Free forever code. Same as the others in every way except that the Pro it gives has no end date: one code per day, no card, no subscription, nothing to cancel. Fixed — The same code could be entered again and again, each time adding more days, up to three months from a single code. A code now grants once per Mac, and says so if it is entered twice. Improved — Updating the app no longer voids a referral trial you are in the middle of.

Fixed — A referral code did nothing. Entering a valid Free 7 days or Free 30 days code said the offer was unlocked and then left everything exactly as it was, watermark included. The code now simply gives you Pro for those days: no card, no subscription, nothing to cancel afterwards. Fixed — Redeeming a second code no longer throws away the days you still had. It adds to them. Improved — The free-tier mark on exports now reads wispframe.app. It used to show the app's name, which told you what made the clip but not where to find it. Improved — A discount code whose offer the App Store cannot currently serve says so, instead of showing a button that does nothing when pressed. Improved — Cut silence, in the trim editor. One press listens to the clip and turns every quiet stretch into a cut, so what is left is the parts with something in them. Each cut is shown, adjustable and removable — it proposes the edit rather than making it for you. A tenth of a second of quiet is left on each side of every cut, because a cut placed exactly where the sound stops clips the breath before a word, and that is what makes automatically trimmed video sound abrupt. Improved — Finding a password before you blur it. The app can now report where text sits on screen, frame by frame, with coordinates in the same form the blur takes — so what one step finds, the next can hide. Improved — The same silence pass is available to the command line and to assistants, which report the quiet stretches and, more usefully, the parts worth keeping, written exactly the way the trim tool wants them. Gaps shorter than half a second are ignored on purpose: a breath is not a cut. Reading a clip for its cut points, its faces and its on-screen text is available the same way — all of it on your Mac, nothing uploaded, no model downloaded. Improved — Assistants can now ask where the faces are. A new command reports every face's position in a video, frame by frame, as coordinates rather than by blurring them — the same on-device detector the blur already used, and the boxes come back in the coordinate space the blur takes, so one can be handed straight to the other. Nothing is uploaded and no model is downloaded. Improved — Captions can be made from a plain audio file. Until now an mp3 or a wav was refused for not being a video, which is an odd thing to tell someone holding a recording they want subtitles for. Per-word timings and a language hint are now reachable from assistants too, not only from the command line. Fixed — An interrupted recording could sit on disk looking lost when it was not. A recording that is killed mid-take stays playable — the file is written in fragments as it goes — but the app only offered to recover one left directly in your recordings folder. Anything written into a subfolder, which is where the command line and assistants put things, kept a .part extension the Finder will not open, with nothing to say it was fine. Those are now found and offered back. Improved — The app now says which kind of Pro you have and how long is left: a referral trial with its days remaining, a subscription with when it renews, or a lifetime purchase that never expires. Before, all three showed the same word. Improved — Referral codes are longer, and much harder to guess. The list of valid codes ships inside the app as one-way hashes, which means it can be attacked offline, away from the app's own limits on wrong attempts. Codes now carry eighty bits instead of sixty, and each hash costs sixty-four megabytes and a tenth of a second to compute rather than being instant — so guessing at scale stops being practical. Older codes no longer work.

Older codes no longer work.

Improved — Record a wired iPhone's screen. Plug the phone in and it appears in the source list beside your cameras, under the tab now called "Camera and mobile screen". It records at the device's own resolution — 1180x2556 on the phone this was built against, portrait, full size — rather than through a preset that would squeeze it down and soften the text. Improved — The phone is a source like any other: pick it and press Record, put it in a multi-source recording next to a display, or drive it from the command line and from an assistant. The list-cameras command reports it with the kind IosScreen, and record-camera records it by that id. Fixed — "Show preview while recording" did nothing when the recording was a camera, and never had. The preview worked by grabbing the screen a second time, which cannot work for a camera and flatly cannot work for a phone, since it will not serve its screen twice. The recording's own frames now feed the preview panel instead — no second capture, nothing added to the recording path. Fixed — Asking for a specific camera by id and getting a different one. Recording a camera by the phone's id recorded the default camera instead and reported success, because the lookup searched video devices and a phone's screen is not one. A device id that names nothing attached is now an error that says so, rather than a quiet substitution. Fixed — A camera or phone connected after the app was already open never appeared in the list. The source scan ran once at launch, before the system had finished announcing the device. The tab now re-checks while you are looking at it, and keeps your selection on the device you picked rather than on its position in the list. Fixed — Tab labels could overlap into an unreadable line. Every tab was given the same share of the strip regardless of its label, so a long one painted over its neighbours. Tabs are now sized to their labels.

Fixed — Turning a composition to portrait turned the frame but not the arrangement. A side-by-side of two screen recordings became two narrow columns — each recording a thin strip in a tall frame, the rest black — when it should have stacked one above the other. The previous release said it stacked. It did not. Every layout now follows the shape of the canvas. Improved — Portrait and landscape can be chosen for a composition and for a multi-source recording, in the app. Until now the setting existed only in Studio, so the one place it mattered most — arranging several videos for a vertical clip — could only be reached from the command line. Improved — The preview shows the orientation you picked, for both, because the preview and the export now read the canvas from the same place. So does the small layout diagram beside the layout picker, which used to draw a wide frame with the cells side by side no matter what you had chosen. Fixed — The speaker layout was unusable in portrait. Both tiles came out small and side by side with no large speaker tile at all. It now takes the top of the frame with the others in a row beneath it. Fixed — Video previews could grow taller than the window and push the controls under them out of reach. Five panels took the full width and let the clip's shape decide the height, which is only safe while every clip is landscape. Studio, Compose, the Subtitler and Annotate video are now bounded both ways, and sized for what each is for: the ones you glance at are small, the one you draw on is not.

Improved — Every editor now names its own file and picks its own folder. Remove BG, Compose, To GIF, Redact, Studio, Subtitler, Enhance, Speed, Trim and Annotate video each show an Output section above their button: a file name, filled in for you from the clip you opened and yours to overwrite, and the folder it lands in with the button that changes it. Before this, nine of the ten decided both for you and showed neither. Fixed — Exports could silently replace an earlier one. Every default name now carries the time it was made — once, not twice. Fixed — To GIF offered a default name ending in .mp4. The name was built assuming every tool writes MP4, so the GIF encoder would have refused it at the very end, after the whole conversion. Fixed — Remove BG opened a separate save dialog, asking again for the folder and name now shown in the window itself. Fixed — The To GIF window showed a "→ clip.gif" hint that contradicted the file name beside it. Improved — Assistants can now start every kind of recording, not two of the five. Picture-in-picture with the webcam, all displays at once, and a live multi-source grid were missing from the tool list, so an agent could not reach them at all — even though the app already knew to ask you for permission before running them. Fixed — Auto-zoom did nothing on a window or app recording, and said nothing about it. Only whole-screen recordings were tracked, but the setting stayed switchable, and Studio ran the whole pass and reported done with no zoom in the result. Windows and apps are now tracked properly — the zoom follows the window as it moves — and Studio says so up front when a clip has no cursor track to follow instead of quietly ignoring the request. Fixed — Putting a recording through any other step first lost its auto-zoom. Burning a timer on it, removing its background or adding captions left the cursor track behind under the old name, so Studio found nothing. It now travels with the file. Improved — Assistants can record a single window or an app, and ask for the cursor track that makes a recording auto-zoomable. Neither was reachable over MCP before. Improved — Studio can turn its canvas portrait or landscape, from the app. The setting reached the command line and assistants in the last release but had no control in the app itself; it does now, and the preview shows the orientation you picked.

Fixed — Recording an app produced a mostly black video at half the sharpness it should have. The frame was sized to the whole screen with the app painted onto it, so roughly four fifths of every frame was black and the window itself came out at half its real resolution. An app now records its main window, cropped to it, at full resolution — and the crop follows the window as you move or resize it while recording. Fixed — On a second monitor you could not select a region at all. The selection overlay always appeared on the main screen, whatever you were pointing at. It now opens on the screen your target is actually on. Fixed — Picking an app showed no live preview. Fixed — The Record button could vanish from the window and stay gone. Selecting a display added two lines of explanation to the settings, which pushed the button off the bottom of a panel that does not scroll. Nothing showed anything was missing, and it survived quitting and reopening the app. Fixed — Screenshots of a single window came out at half resolution on a Retina display — a quarter of the pixels — while the list beside the button advertised the full size. Fixed — Taking a window screenshot without choosing a window first captured one of the app's own hidden windows and reported success over a black image. Fixed — When Screen Recording permission was missing, the source list said "Loading displays…" forever instead of naming the reason and offering the button that fixes it. Fixed — Recording or capturing part of the screen could not reach the right or bottom half of a Retina display at all, and a region that did work captured the whole screen shrunk down instead of the area asked for. Fixed — Background removal reported success on footage where it found no subject, handing back a copy of the original. Fixed — Several editing commands wrote a video under whatever name you gave, so a file named .txt or .mkv was really an MP4. Fixed — Timed annotations, crops and overlays that could never appear re-encoded the whole video and reported "done" without drawing anything. Fixed — A saved multi-video layout replayed as a plain side-by-side, losing the arrangement. Fixed — Subtitles ignored a font whose name was typed in lowercase, and warned about two fonts they handle perfectly. Fixed — Applying an edit could fail with a permission error naming a folder you never chose. Exports went next to the file you opened, which the sandbox usually forbids; they now land in the folder you picked in the CLI & MCP panel when that is the only writable one. Improved — Studio can turn the output canvas portrait or landscape, so a landscape screen recording becomes a vertical video with the picture centred and the blurred background filling the sides. Also available to the command line and to assistants. Improved — Window, app and camera capture now say up front that the thing being recorded has to stay visible — anything hidden behind another window records blank. Improved — Automation streams output live instead of delivering it in one burst at the end, and closing a terminal mid-job actually stops the job. There is also a stop button in the CLI & MCP panel. Improved — Pressing Deny on a capture request reports a distinct result, so an assistant knows a human said no and stops asking.

Fixed — The Record button could vanish from the window and stay gone. Selecting a display added two lines of explanation to the settings, which pushed the button off the bottom of a panel that does not scroll. Nothing showed that anything was missing, and it survived quitting and reopening the app, so there was no way back short of deleting a hidden file. Fixed — Screenshots of a single window came out at half resolution on a Retina display — a quarter of the pixels — while the list beside the button advertised the full size. Fixed — Taking a window screenshot without choosing a window first captured one of the app's own hidden windows and reported success over a black image. It now asks you to pick one. Fixed — When Screen Recording permission was missing, the source list said "Loading displays…" forever instead of naming the reason. It now says what is wrong and offers the button that fixes it. Fixed — Recording or capturing part of the screen could not reach the right or bottom half of a Retina display at all, and a region that did work captured the whole screen shrunk down instead of the area asked for. Fixed — Background removal reported success on footage where it found no subject, handing back a copy of the original with the background untouched. Fixed — Several editing commands wrote a video file under whatever name you gave, so a file named .txt or .mkv was really an MP4. Fixed — Timed annotations, crops and overlays that could never appear — a time after the clip ends, a rectangle outside the frame, an empty selection — re-encoded the whole video and reported "done" without drawing anything. Fixed — A saved multi-video layout replayed as a plain side-by-side, losing the arrangement. Fixed — The elapsed-time clock overlapped the export watermark in its default corner. Fixed — Subtitles ignored a font whose name was typed in lowercase, and warned about two fonts it handles perfectly. Improved — Automation now streams output live instead of delivering it in one burst at the end, and closing a terminal mid-job actually stops the job. Previously the work ran to completion with nobody listening, and every other command waited behind it. There is also a stop button in the CLI & MCP panel. Improved — Pressing Deny on a capture request now reports a distinct result, so an assistant knows a human said no and stops asking. Improved — Filenames that are not plain text no longer make a command do nothing and call it success.

Fixed — The wispframe command-line tool did not work at all. Installing it and running it produced "the Wispframe app isn't running" — or, on a clean install, an error naming a line number and nothing else — while the app was running perfectly. Nothing you could do would fix it, because nothing you did was wrong. Fixed — A security problem in the same tool. A newline inside a value you passed to it — in a filename, a caption, anything pasted or downloaded — could be read as the start of a new option, so a script could end up running settings it never asked for. Arguments are now framed in a way that cannot be split. Improved — Installing the command-line tool now offers a folder your terminal already looks in, so it works the moment it finishes. If you choose one that isn't on your PATH, it says so and gives you the exact line to add. Fixed — wispframe --help and wispframe --version reported themselves as failures, so any script that checked treated them as broken. --version also gave the wrong number entirely. Fixed — Errors from the command-line tool came out mixed into its normal output, so they could not be silenced or logged separately and would contaminate whatever the output was piped into. They go to the error stream now, where they belong. Fixed — When the sandbox refused a file, Wispframe blamed the disk being full or a permission problem. Neither was true and neither could be acted on. It now names the folder it can actually write to, and says so before starting work rather than after. Fixed — A screenshot saved to a relative path reported success and then could not be found. Relative paths are refused now, naming a folder that works. Improved — Automation tools can capture part of the screen, or a single window, directly. Previously the only way to ask for a region pointed at something that did not exist. Improved — Annotation specs explain their own format when one is malformed, instead of only saying the shape was wrong. Improved — Command help no longer shows internal development references that meant nothing outside the source code.

Fixed — Screenshots of a display failed about one time in three, freezing for five seconds first and then reporting a permission problem that did not exist. The whole screenshot, colour-picker and scrolling-capture family now goes through ScreenCaptureKit and succeeded on every one of 90 consecutive attempts. Fixed — Recordings are captured at the display's own resolution. A 4K screen was being recorded at 1080p and scaled back up, which is what made text look soft. Cropped regions and single windows now record at their own native size too. Fixed — Trimming a clip produced a slightly different audio track every time you exported it, drifting by up to a seventh of a second — enough to hear, and different on each export, so it could not be corrected either. Audio is now cut to the exact sample. Fixed — GIF export played at the wrong speed: a 30fps clip ran 11% fast and a 60fps clip 20% slow. The frame-rate setting also did nothing across a wide range of values, so asking for a smaller GIF gave you the full-size one. Both now behave. Fixed — A recording of a still screen could report that nothing was captured and that no file was written, while the file was on disk and played perfectly. Trying again then failed because the file it claimed not to have written was in the way. Fixed — Passing an empty file path crashed the tool instead of explaining what was wrong. Improved — Wispframe now asks for Screen Recording permission properly on first launch. Previously it waited for macOS to raise the dialog on its own, which did not always happen — leaving the app reporting a denied permission you had never been asked for. Improved — The CLI & MCP panel asks which folder your agent should work in, right when you open it, and writes that folder into the configuration you copy out. An agent no longer has to guess where it is allowed to read and write. Improved — Two recordings started at the same moment used to fail, both of them. They now retry briefly while macOS's capture service settles. Improved — Display listings publish the pixel size alongside the point size, so a script that reads a display's dimensions and then captures that region gets the whole screen instead of its top-left quarter.

Fixes from the first week on the App Store: • The Screen Recording permission dialog could reappear every few seconds until it was granted. It now asks once and waits. • Wispframe opens maximised on first launch instead of in a small window. • The Dark theme is the default. The translucent Glass look is still there in the theme switcher.
