Release Notes

Moments, Find mode, and faster indexing

• New main flow built around Moments — work with a specific point or range inside a clip, not just whole files. AI drops candidate moments and you confirm the ones you trust.
• Find: a dedicated search workspace with free-text search, tag chips that show how many videos use each tag, and results that jump you to the exact moment.
• Two-stage indexing — thumbnails and metadata appear instantly while AI tagging fills in the background, and indexing resumes automatically after a restart.
• Thumbnails for professional camera footage, including HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit from Sony and Canon, with graceful fallback for other unusual codecs.
• A faster, cleaner Library: multi-select folders, drag in multiple files or folders at once, improved grid selection, and a tidier folder tree.
• AI candidate tags now carry a ✨ sparkle, so suggestions are easy to tell apart from tags you have confirmed.
• The app version is now shown on the About page.

Stability fixes

• Reliability fixes for the Windows build.

Privacy-friendly telemetry

• Re-introduced minimal app-health telemetry with an opt-out toggle in Settings — no footage or personal content is ever collected.

Sign-in fix

• Fixed the video-tagger:// deep link used for browser-based sign-in on macOS.

Redesigned Organize workspace

• Redesigned the Organize workspace with a combined file grid and tags layout.
• Thumbnails now import while a folder is being scanned and appear in the grid live, so new footage is browsable right away.

Collections

• Added Collect mode — gather videos into static albums (Collections) that are independent of your folder structure.
• Pricing now shows both monthly and annual plans, with correct handling of Japanese yen.

Sign-in and sorting improvements

• Moved sign-in to a secure browser-based flow, with a signup-first 30-day free trial.
• Added sort options (name, duration, size, resolution, frame rate) to search results, plus a Library sort toggle and a Show Hidden Files option.
• Added an AI confidence threshold setting for tag detection.
• Fixed automatic updates on macOS.

Initial release

• First public release of VideoTagger.
• Two-workspace layout: Organize for tagging and curating, Find for searching.

• Frame scan and keyframe extraction.
• Contextual on-screen help and a multi-language interface (English / Japanese).
