Oxbow 0.3.0

Trimming a stream down to just the part you want is now a matter of dragging two handles, chat comes included by default, and Oxbow warns you before replacing a download you already have. Finished files are also dramatically smaller—a quiet stream that used to take about 48 GB now takes around 9, and looks no worse. This version now requires macOS 26.
