What's
new.

v1.1.2

November 2026

Added

• Download password-protected videos, such as private Vimeo videos, with the password the owner gave you

Improved

• The list and menu bar show when audio is being converted or normalized after a download
• Searching in one language finds videos in another more reliably
• On Macs without a hardware video encoder, converting low-resolution videos no longer makes files larger

Fixed

• Pausing during audio conversion no longer leaves a shortened file
• Pausing a download just as it finishes no longer leaves a duplicate copy
• The quit dialog now says Pause and Quit when that is what it does
