Version 1.6.8
Released Nov 3, 2026 - 516.39 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterNew in 1.6.8:
- Live recordings in parts: a long recording (Twitch and other HLS streams, YouTube live) is saved piece by piece. A part ends at 2000 MB or 60 minutes, whichever comes first. It is saved at once, and the recording goes on without a gap. File names carry the part's start time, e.g. "Stream (01-00-00).mp4". Settings → Downloads → Saving in parts. Long HLS/DASH videos can be saved in parts too (off by default).
- The live recording limit is off by default (0 = no limit).
- Converter: cut a part of a video (MP4, M4A, WebM, MKV, TS) without re-encoding. It starts at the nearest keyframe at or before "From".Source code released under MIT + THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

Version 1.6.7
Released Oct 25, 2026 - 485.06 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterNew in 1.6.7 (includes 1.6.6, which was released on GitHub only):
- Converter: the new button next to Settings (or "Convert…" in History) opens a page where a video or audio file from your computer becomes a GIF (a "from–to" part, width, FPS), an MP3, a PNG frame, or — without re-encoding — a TS stream an MP4 / MKV and a fragmented MP4 a plain MP4. The file never leaves the browser.
- Captions on a GIF: a white bar with black text on top, at the bottom or both; text on the video (white or black, top / center / bottom); or a demotivator — the video in a white frame on black with a title and a second line. The text is fitted by itself, with a live preview.
- Fixed: Microsoft Edge applied no header rules (JoyReactor and other sites failed with HTTP 404).Source code released under MIT + THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS
