Recordly v1.1.5
This release adds some of the biggest features the app has had so far, and overall it makes the experience much better from recording to editing to export.
Highlights
Auto-captions
Recordly can now generate captions locally with Whisper.
You can bring captions straight into the editor, preview them properly, style them, and export them with the final video. For tutorials, demos, product videos, and short-form content, this is a massive upgrade.
Visual project browser
Projects are now much easier to jump back into.
There’s a new visual project browser with thumbnails and saved project metadata, so unfinished work is easier to find and reopen. The project picker flow is also much cleaner across the app.
Better cursor and presentation controls
This release also adds more cursor styling options and improves the overall presentation pipeline.
Between cursor styling, caption rendering, preview playback, and export improvements, videos now feel much more polished right inside Recordly.
More in v1.1.5
- better long-export reliability, especially for audio encoding
- improved caption preview playback
- localized caption controls and loading states
- timeline select-all block deletion
- unsaved changes indicator
- less launch polling and less editor snapshot churn
- packaging and native helper improvements
- more polish across the project browser flow
- updated docs and install instructions
Personal note
A quick honest note: this past week moved unusually fast, but I can’t keep up that pace with school taking up so much of my time.
I spend many hours on the app working on Recordly unpaid, fixing bugs, shipping features, and answering issues. I’m still working on it, and I still want to keep improving it, but development will likely be slower from here.
If Recordly has been useful to you, please consider sponsoring the project here:
Support Recordly on GitHub Sponsors
Sponsoring me directly helps me keep developing Recordly, spend more time on better features, fix issues faster, and continue supporting the app. Recordly is also still much cheaper than tools like Screen Studio, so if it’s already been valuable to you, sponsorship is a very direct way to help keep it improving.
I also strongly encourage PRs. If you’ve been thinking about contributing, now is a really good time, because community contributions are going to matter more as development slows down a bit.

个人说明
简单说一下：过去这一周的开发节奏确实特别快，但因为学业会占用我很多时间，我没办法一直保持这样的速度。
我在 Recordly 上投入了很多时间，而且这些开发、修 bug、做功能、回复 issue 的工作基本上都是无偿的。我还是会继续做这个项目，也还是想继续把它做好，只是接下来的开发节奏大概率会慢一些。
如果 Recordly 对你有帮助，也希望你可以考虑在这里赞助这个项目：
在 GitHub Sponsors 上支持 Recordly
直接赞助我，能最直接地帮助我继续开发 Recordly，投入更多时间去做更好的功能、更快修复问题，也让这个产品可以持续被维护下去。Recordly 现在本身也还是比 Screen Studio 这类工具便宜很多，所以如果它已经对你有价值，赞助会是一个非常直接的支持方式，也能帮助它继续变得更好。
我也非常鼓励大家提 PR。如果你之前有想过参与贡献，现在会是一个很好的时间点，因为随着开发节奏慢下来，社区贡献会变得更重要.
