Changelog
v1.0.2 May 2026
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.
v1.0.1 May 2026
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.
