RecordMate Mac v1.0.6

RecordMate Mac v1.0.6

This release helps prevent webcam recordings without narration and restores cloud captions without user API-key setup.

What's new

• When your webcam is on and your microphone is off, starting a recording shows a reminder before the countdown.
• Choose Turn On Microphone, Record Without Microphone, or Cancel. Turning on the microphone applies to the recording you are about to start.
• Microphone permission is checked before recording. If macOS blocks access, open System Settings to enable it, explicitly record without narration, or cancel.
• The reminder works in the recorder, the editor's source picker, and Android recordings with a webcam. Pause and resume keep your selected microphone setting.

Fixed

• Cloud captions work by clicking Generate Captions, without configuring or entering an API key. Recording audio is extracted locally and sent through RecordMate's hosted transcription service to Groq.
• Removed the user API-key panel introduced in v1.0.4 and v1.0.5.
• Hosted captions preserve segment and word timing, and transcription can still be cancelled.
• Cancelling the microphone reminder starts no recording, and a late reminder response cannot start a cancelled recording.

Requirements

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
• Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, or later). This release does not include an Intel build.
• Internet access for sign-in, cloud captions, and downloading background images.

Install

1. Download RecordMate-Mac-1.0.6-arm64.dmg from the assets below.
2. Open the disk image and drag RecordMate Mac into Applications.
3. Open the app. This release uses an ad-hoc signature and is not Apple notarized. If macOS blocks it, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, select Open Anyway, and confirm Open.
4. Allow Screen & System Audio Recording. Allow Microphone for narration, Camera for webcam recording, and Accessibility for cursor click tracking. Restart the app after changing permissions if requested.

Updates and verification

Users on public releases v1.0.0 through v1.0.5 receive an in-app update prompt after the next successful update check. The app checks shortly after launch and every four hours while running. You can also choose Check for Updates from the app's menu-bar icon.

The app downloads a DMG for updates; open it and drag the updated app into Applications to install it.

SHA256SUMS lists checksums for the installer, archive, update metadata, and blockmaps. The ZIP, blockmaps, and latest-mac.yml support the app's update checks.

If you used a testing build numbered 1.0.44 or earlier, install this release manually. Public Mac versions started at 1.0.0 and use a separate macOS release repository.

RecordMate Mac v1.0.5

RecordMate Mac v1.0.5

This maintenance release rebuilds the current Mac app with refreshed version and update metadata. App functionality is the same as v1.0.4.

Included features

• Rename recordings directly in the editor. Custom names appear in recording history and are preserved in saved projects and editor recovery.
• Use the editor's View menu to show or hide the sidebar and timeline, switch to Preview only, or restore the full layout.
• Play and pause from the expanded preview when the timeline is hidden.
• Open the export page without signing in and log in directly from that page when ready to export.
• Account-level export restrictions have been removed, including restrictions cached by earlier versions. Sign-in and supported-version checks still apply to exporting, saving, and copying videos.

Recording and caption behavior

• Renaming a recording keeps its media paths stable so saved projects and companion tracks continue to work.
• Recording names are validated, and a failed save preserves the previous name.
• Layout changes preserve timeline and playback state, with sidebar controls available on smaller windows.
• Cloud captions use your own Groq API key, configured in the Captions settings and stored using macOS encryption.

Requirements

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
• Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, or later). This release does not include an Intel build.
• Internet access for sign-in, cloud captions, and downloading background images.

RecordMate Mac v1.0.3

RecordMate Mac v1.0.3

This release improves offline video export and adds account-level export access management.

What's new

• Recording and editing work without signing in. Sign-in is required only for video export.
• Previously approved users can export offline until their RecordMate session expires, currently seven days after sign-in. The separate 15-minute offline limit has been removed.
• Permission checks run silently in the background without delaying approved exports. Sign in again when your session expires.
• Account restrictions apply only to video export, saving, and copying; recording and editing remain available.
• App version and sign-in activity help manage Mac app access. Usage Diagnostics remain optional.

Fixed

• Mac API requests use desktop session tokens correctly instead of being redirected to the browser sign-in page.
• Export verification distinguishes server failures from connection problems. Temporary failures preserve previously approved offline access.

Requirements

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
• Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, or later). This release does not include an Intel build.
• Internet access for sign-in, cloud captions, and downloading background images.

RecordMate Mac v1.0.1

RecordMate Mac v1.0.1

This patch fixes zoom focus positioning in the Mac editor.

Fixed

• Manual zooms keep the chosen focus instead of being pulled toward the recorded cursor.
• Dragging the focus circle locks the selected position for both manual and auto-generated zooms. Untouched auto zooms continue to follow the cursor.

• Changing a focus point no longer repeatedly scrolls the selected zoom card or seeks its thumbnail while dragging.

The focus fix applies to both video preview and export.

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
• Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, or later). This release does not include an Intel build.
