July 2026
New
- Landing screen: drag-and-drop folders onto the three cards to import and start watching faster.
- Library: drag across video cards to paint-select; your selection cart works across All, Folders, Sessions, Favorites, Playlists, and Frozen for bulk actions.
- Help → Tutorial for a new in-app walkthrough; Help → Help Center for expanded documentation.
- Library: set a custom thumbnail from any video card (open the card scrubber, then choose Set Thumbnail).
- Library footer: bulk delete selected videos.
- Fullscreen: optional auto-advance to the next grid video when one ends — enable in Settings → Full Screen Settings.
- Settings → External Libraries: connect external library databases (local database file or server sync).
- Settings → Library: optional Skip review modal when loading many videos straight to the grid.
- Compilation maker (bottom menu): playback and export improvements.
Improvements
- Library and bottom menu: faster Quick Play and Load Selected when working with large libraries.
- Library: smoother browsing and filtering with very large collections.
- Consistent Pro library limit across the app and license server (see Settings → License).
- Settings → External Libraries: more reliable sync on startup and during manual Sync Now.
- Library cards: clear badges for corrupt or unavailable files instead of endless spinners.
- Library: more reliable fullscreen playback when expanding a card to fullscreen.
- Settings → Grid Player: Keep Tile Unmuted Across Swaps — by default each swapped video starts muted; turn this on to keep sound across swaps on that tile.
- Settings → Grid Player → Appearance: optional Borderless Grid (edge-to-edge tiles) and Auto-Hide Tile Overlays.
- Settings → Grid Player: press ESC from the main grid to open the library.
- Grid: middle-click any tile to open the privacy screen.
- Library: filter modal with Clear All for quick filter resets.
- Cover and contain mode stay consistent when you resize the grid or enter fullscreen.
- Settings sidebar scroll and layout fixes.
- Help → Tutorial updated for the new landing screen (three cards and folder drop zone).
- Help → Release Notes (and About → Release Notes) list what changed in each version inside the app.
- On app open: promotional toasts can include an optional action button (for example Learn More or Upgrade).
- On app open: discount promo toasts show the code as a tappable orange badge — tap to copy. Upgrade opens the Pro page with the discount code filled in.
- Settings → Grid Player → Swap Timer: auto-swap now uses one synchronized timer across the whole grid (tiles stay in step instead of drifting).
- Software updates: update check and notification wait until after you unlock with your PIN.
- Software updates: update dialog appears above Settings and other open windows.
- Security: exported backup files no longer include plaintext video paths or external library server URLs.
- Quick Play → Reload Last Videos: your last grid is stored in encrypted vault storage on desktop.
- Add Folder / library import: steadier thumbnail progress counters when generating thumbnails for large folders.
