Fantasy Fader v1.0.2

Current version, released May 2026

Roadmap

Things being considered for future releases. Nothing here is guaranteed or dated.

Stream Deck Integration - map Elgato Stream Deck buttons to crossfade, mute, scene switch, soundboard triggers, etc.
Discord Integration - post now-playing info to a Discord channel, or control the app via bot command. Good for online and hybrid games.
More sign-in options - email/password and Facebook in addition to Google.
Hotkey footer - a persistent bar at the bottom of the app showing active keyboard shortcuts, similar to Blender's footer.

Fantasy theme, YouTube playback fixes, and layer UX improvements.

Fantasy theme - updated the palette with gold and crimson accents, parchment light mode, and Cinzel serif font on labels and headings.
YouTube autoplay on load - fixed videos autoplaying muted when a session was restored on page load.
YouTube in-player volume sync - adjusting volume or muting inside the YouTube iframe now updates the app's volume slider and Mute button in real time.
Unmute after iframe mute - the app's Mute button can now unmute a track that was muted via the YouTube player's own controls.
Layered track fade bug - fading from a combined/layered track no longer drops its volume to zero immediately.
Layer name prompt - when combining two tracks for the first time, the app now prompts for a name instead of auto-generating one from the track titles.
Layer sub-track rename display - renaming a sub-track in the Manage Layers modal now updates the deck frame instantly without requiring a refresh.
Layer sub-track custom names - renamed sub-tracks show their custom name with the original in parentheses, matching the behavior for individual renamed tracks.

Post-launch bugfixes and layer modal improvements.

YouTube embed blocking - videos that disallow playback outside YouTube now show a blocked toast and clear the deck automatically (previously the deck would show "Video unavailable" with no explanation).
Combine hotkey - added a configurable hotkey for the Combine button (default: c). Remappable in Settings like other hotkeys.
Layer modal keyboard nav - arrow keys navigate rows in the Manage Layers modal, [/] adjust sub-track volume, r renames the focused layer.
Sub-track rename - layers can now be renamed from inside the Manage Layers modal.
Balance markers in layer modal - after running Auto-Balance, the recommended volume indicator now appears on sliders inside the Manage Layers modal.
dbLevel preserved on divide/delete - loudness data is no longer dropped when a layer is divided out or removed from a combined track.
Non-Pro layer warning - splitting or deleting a layer on a non-Pro account now shows a warning that the combined track cannot be recreated without a Pro subscription.
Confirm modal z-index fix - the confirm dialog no longer appears behind the Manage Layers modal.
Changelog page - added this page, with a roadmap section and version history. Link added to all footers.
Landing page pricing - updated from "Coming Soon" to $5/month and $20 lifetime.
Privacy policy - expanded Data Retention section to document the Delete Account flow, including Firestore deletion, localStorage erasure, and lifetime gift code reissue.

Initial launch with Pro tier.

Pro tier - $5/month or $20 lifetime. Pro removes the banner ad and unlocks the features below.
Track Layering - stack multiple tracks into one unit that plays simultaneously (Pro). Each layer has its own volume slider and can be divided back out or deleted individually.
Volume Balancing - measures loudness across loaded tracks and adjusts volumes proportionally so levels stay consistent between songs (Pro).
Spotify Integration - connect a Spotify Premium account and use Spotify tracks on your decks and playlist alongside YouTube (Pro).
Soundboard - bind keyboard keys to short audio clips for one-shot sound effects that play over whatever is already running (Pro).
Gift codes - buy a lifetime gift code from Settings and send it to a friend.
Local Library - connect a local folder of audio files and use them like any other track. No upload required. Chrome and Edge only.
Session saving - save named sessions and restore them later. Free account required for cross-device sync.
