What’s new

Version 1.1.6

August 2026

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed lifetime licenses incorrectly showing as “License Expired” and blocking exports about a week after activation. The app couldn’t read the licensing service’s reply, so its daily validation never completed and the offline grace period ran out — re-entering the key only restarted the same seven-day countdown. Affected Macs repair themselves on the first launch of this version; there’s no need to re-enter your license key.
  • Fixed license validation failing permanently when the app lost track of which activation belonged to this Mac. It now recovers the correct install identifier automatically, which also makes Deactivate more reliable.
  • A license with no expiry date can no longer expire, and only genuine network failures count toward the offline grace period — a server error or an unreadable reply no longer does.

Version 1.1.5

July 2026

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed deactivating a license from within the app not releasing the activation on the server, which could prevent transferring your license to another Mac

Version 1.1.4

July 2026

Improvements

  • More reliable license activation — re-activating on the same Mac no longer uses up an extra activation slot

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the license not being remembered after restarting your Mac, which could show an expired-trial warning and repeatedly ask for your license key

Version 1.1.3

March 2026

New Features

  • Custom export icon on the Export button
  • Open button added to the Export Folder section for quick access to the output directory

Improvements

  • Renamed dimension and format labels for clarity, with a tooltip explaining how images scale proportionally to fit
  • Export button pinned to the bottom of the settings panel, always visible
  • Crop and preview windows now open at the main window size
  • Accessibility pass: VoiceOver labels, clearer button hierarchy, and semantic font sizing
  • Adaptive colors for proper light mode support
  • Removed Scale Factor / Retina (1x, 2x, 3x) export to streamline the workflow

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed dark backgrounds not adapting to light mode in several settings views

Version 1.1.2

March 2026

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Sparkle auto-update failing to install in sandboxed app — corrected XPC service mach-lookup entitlements

Version 1.1.1

March 2026

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Sparkle auto-update failing to install in sandboxed app — enabled InstallerLauncher XPC service (incomplete fix, see 1.1.2)

March 2026

New Features

  • Watermark overlay — add visible watermarks with text or image/logo support, three layout styles, adjustable opacity/size/color/position, and live preview

  • Fixed-size cropping — crop width option for pixel-precise fixed-size crops
  • Live crop dimensions — real-time dimension display as you adjust

Improvements

  • Crop button moved to queue items for easier access
  • Sequence and preset management UI refined
  • Before/after preview now crops the “before” image to match all crop modes
  • Sequence export summary shows per-preset savings instead of misleading grand total
  • Queue automatically resets for re-export when switching sequence mode or selection
