v1.5.0 - On-device AI (read-aloud, audiobooks, voice cleanup), silence cutting, and true redaction

New Features

AI Tools — All On Your Device

• Read Aloud — turn any document or text file into natural-sounding speech you can save and listen to anywhere
• Document to Audiobook — convert a PDF or Markdown file into a chaptered audiobook (M4B or MP3), with chapters pulled from your headings and bookmarks
• Voice Cleanup — remove background noise, hum, and hiss from any recording for clear, studio-style audio
  • Everything runs offline — your files never leave your computer
  • Pick from several natural voices, downloaded once and reused
  • Try any AI tool free with a short preview, then unlock full-length output and batch with Pro

Silence Cut for Video and Audio

• Automatically remove silent gaps from screen recordings, lectures, sermons, and podcasts — no manual editing
• See the cut plan first — review how many cuts will be made and how much time you'll save before you export
• Tune it to your recording — adjust silence sensitivity and the padding kept around each bit of speech

Visual Duplicates

• Find near-duplicate photos, not just exact copies — spot the same shot saved at different sizes, formats, or quality
• Auto-pick the best version of each group (largest and sharpest) and send the rest to a review folder
• Runs on thousands of photos entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded

True Redaction & PII Detection

• Detect PII — scan a PDF for emails, phone numbers, SSNs, and credit card numbers automatically
• Auto-Redact PII — find and permanently remove sensitive information in one click
• Verify Redaction — confirm nothing sensitive is still hidden or recoverable after you redact a PDF

Smart Folders

• Content-aware Folder Monitor rules — sort and route files by what's inside them, not just their name or type
  • Match on name, file type, or text content — like "PDF contains Invoice"
  • Rename matches automatically with tokens like date, year, and month
  • Move matching files into subfolders as they arrive
• Preview before you commit — a dry run shows exactly what would happen to the files already in a folder
• Start from a preset — Invoices, Screenshots by month, and Bank statements are ready out of the box

Improvements

• Background Tasks — long jobs now run in the background with a status bar in the corner
  • Keep using other tools while a batch finishes
  • Run several operations at once and watch each one's progress from any page
  • Cancel a running task anytime, and reveal finished files in your folder with one click
• Faster batch processing — image, PDF, and video batches now process multiple files at the same time, using more of your computer's power to finish sooner
• New AI Tools category appears at the top of the sidebar and shows up automatically for existing users

Bug Fixes

• Fixed redaction only covering text with a black box — redacted content is now permanently removed from the PDF, so it can no longer be copied out or recovered
