What's new

Every change to tondi, newest first.

tondi updates itself. When a new version is ready the app offers it to you, and the notes below are the same ones you see in that window.

1.1.5

11 September 2026

A quieter, more Mac-like tondi. Nothing about how clips are made changed.

Your numbers, in the app. Settings now has a Stats section: how many videos you've clipped and how many clips you've made — the totals across every Mac you're signed in on, plus the day you joined — and a snapshot of what's on this Mac right now: videos in History, clips on disk, the space they take, their total running time, your favourite shape, and clips per video. Nothing new is sent; the account figures come back on the same launch check 1.1.4 described, and the library figures are counted here and stay here.

Settings is a tray now. It slides in from the right edge with the same warm reveal as every other menu, and out the same way. No dimmed screen. It keeps only what matters — Display Theme, Stats, Clear Cache — and Clear Cache asks you in place instead of putting up a dialog.

The Account tab was redone to match: one card, the same pills, and the same price cards you'd see on tondi.app when you're on Free. Go Pro opens Stripe's checkout in your browser, tied to your account; card details never touch the app.

Messages appear where they belong. The little pop-ups in the corner are gone. A wrong code says so under the code box; "saved 5 clips" appears under the Download button; "batch is Pro" sits under the batch checkbox; and so on. They stay until your next action, so you never miss one.

Smaller things. The footer is just "Settings". The upload box empties when a run starts, so a finished job doesn't leave the video sitting there. New installs default to 3 clips per video, so a first run on Free never trips the cap. "Sign out everywhere" now tells you if tondi.app couldn't be reached.

Your clips, History and settings are untouched, and you won't need to sign in again.

1.1.4

11 September 2026

One change, and it is about what tondi sends, so it gets said plainly.

tondi now reports two numbers. When you are signed in, the app already checks with tondi.app on launch to see whether your account is Free or Pro. From this version that check also carries two running totals: how many clips and how many videos this Mac has made with tondi. That is the whole of it — not the videos, not the clips, not their names, lengths or transcripts, not what you were doing in the app. We use the two numbers to see whether tondi is being used at all. If you are not signed in, nothing is sent.

Your video still never leaves your Mac. Transcription and rendering happen here, as they always have, and the privacy policy has been updated to describe exactly this — open Account → Legal to read it, or see tondi.app/privacy.

Your clips, History and settings are untouched, and you won't need to sign in again.

1.1.3

8 September 2026

A small housekeeping release. Nothing about making clips has changed, and there is no reason to expect anything to behave differently.

Your licence and the privacy policy are now inside the app. Open Account → Legal and you'll find the licence agreement you're bound by, the privacy policy, the notices for the open-source software tondi is built on, and the full text of the licence FFmpeg ships under. They were always included, but until now the only way to read them was to right-click tondi in Finder and go digging through the app's contents, which is not a reasonable thing to ask.

There are also buttons there that open the current Terms and Privacy policy on tondi.app in your browser. The copies inside the app are a snapshot of what applied when this version shipped; if the two ever differ, the website is the one that counts.

The sign-in screen now says what you're agreeing to. Creating an account means giving tondi your email address, so that screen now names the Terms and the Privacy policy before you ask for a code, rather than leaving you to find them afterwards.

The open-source notices are complete again. Five components were shipping inside tondi without being listed — and one of them, tqdm, is under a licence that requires its source be offered. That's corrected. If you ever want the source for any open-source component in tondi, including FFmpeg, email support@tondi.app and you'll get it free of charge.

Your clips, History and settings are untouched, and you won't need to sign in again.

1.1.2

19 August 2026

Mostly speed and fixes, plus a clearer way to get your clips out of tondi.

Captions are nearly twice as fast. Transcription — the slow part of every run — now takes about half the time it used to, with no change to the words it produces. It also can't get stuck repeating itself anymore.

The progress bar tells the truth. It used to sit at 10% through the whole transcription and then jump, so a working app looked like a frozen one. Now it moves steadily from start to finish.

Fullscreen works. The button on each clip preview did nothing at all. Previews also show a real frame instead of a black rectangle.

tondi opens reliably. On some Macs the app could start with no window at all — alive, but invisible. That's fixed.

Getting clips out is clearer. Your clips now always live in one place (Movies/tondi), and a new Download clips button copies them wherever you want. Nothing is copied until you press it. If you used the old Save clips to setting, that's why it's gone — you'll find Where downloads go on the Make Clips page.

Account tidying. You can now sign out of every device at once. If you've cancelled, the Account tab says Access until rather than Renews. And your devices are listed by name.

1.1.1

18 August 2026

A tidying-up release. Nothing about how tondi works changed.

A smaller download. tondi was shipping around 15 MB of files it never used — a web server it doesn't run, type definitions meant for code editors, changelogs for its own dependencies. All of it is gone.

A cleaner build. The bundled copy of FFmpeg recorded the folder it was compiled in, which is of no use to anyone and is nobody's business. It doesn't anymore.

1.1.0

August 2026

Accounts, Pro plans, and automatic updates — the release that made tondi something you can buy and keep up to date.
