Changelog

Site update — August 14, 2026 · Headlines in one color

Website only; no change to the app.

• The headline no longer fades from one color into another across the letters. A gradient poured through text is the house style of every generated landing page on the web, and it was on the hero here, on the small uppercase label above each section, and on the license label in the purchase panel. The words are one solid color now — the accent this page already used everywhere else — so the headline finally matches the page under it.
• The figures on the download-stats page were faded the same way and are plain white now. The color belongs to the bars beside them, not to the digits.
• Gradients are kept where they belong — the buttons, the app tile and the rule above the support panel are untouched. It is only text that stopped fading.
• No change to the app.

Download update — August 12, 2026 · Opens without an internet check

• The copy of Trimr in the download now opens without needing the internet. macOS checks that an app has been approved by Apple before it runs for the first time. That approval can travel inside the app itself, and in the download it did not — so the first launch had to reach Apple to confirm it. Offline, behind a hotel or campus login page, or when Apple’s service was slow, that check could fail and macOS would report that Trimr “cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.” The approval now travels with the app, so the first launch works with no connection at all.
• Automatic updates were never affected — the copy they install already carried its approval.
• The installer window opens at the right size. It was one title bar too short, so the artwork behind the drag-to-Applications arrow was cut off along the bottom and the window opened already scrolled. It now fits exactly.
• The app itself is unchanged: same version, same signature. Only the download was repackaged, so there is nothing to do if you already have Trimr installed.

Site update — August 12, 2026 · How updating really works

• The update instructions were out of date. They described downloading a new copy and dragging it over the old one. Trimr updates itself — it checks about once a week and offers to install the new version in place, refusing any download that isn't signed by us. You can still replace it by hand, and you can turn the automatic check off.
• Nothing else changed. What this page already said about your files — that they are never uploaded, and that there is no account and no telemetry — was accurate and is unchanged.
• No change to the app.

Site update — August 12, 2026 · Readable buttons and small print

• The buttons in the header say what they say. The Tip and Download pills were drawing their label at 55% opacity over a colored fill, which measured as low as 1.6:1 against it — well under the 4.5:1 the accessibility guidelines ask for. Their labels are now solid, and the fill behind them is set a shade deeper so the text genuinely clears that bar.
• The Subscribe and Support buttons too. Their labels were colored for one end of a two-color gradient and disappeared into the other end. Both now use a single fill that the label is legible on all the way across.
• The newsletter note, the “More apps” caption and the version line under the download button were all set too faint to read comfortably; each is now above the AA threshold.
• Keyboard shortcut chips are legible against their own background.
• The screenshot viewer no longer makes every visit quietly re-download this page as if it were an image — a wasted request on each load.
• No change to the app.

Site update — August 11, 2026 · Clearer search results

• Sharing a link to the privacy, terms or changelog page now shows a proper preview card instead of a bare URL.
• The sitemap now reports when each page actually changed, so search engines re-check pages that have been updated instead of assuming they are stale.
• No change to the app.

August 11, 2026 · A new look

• Changed: Trimr has a new app icon. Every twoplus11 app moved to one generated palette, so the color in your Dock, on this site and on the download page is now the same color — they had drifted apart.
• Changed: refreshed the site to match, including the tab icon and the link preview image.

Site update — August 10, 2026 · Screenshots retaken

• Retook both screenshots so they use a sample track rather than a real one. Same screens — the waveform with the tool tabs, and the Tags panel editing title, artist, album and cover art. No change to the app.

1.2.1 — August 9, 2026 · Automatic updates

• New: Trimr updates itself. When a new version is out you get a prompt with the release notes and can install it in place — no more visiting the site and dragging a new copy over the old one. This is the last update you have to install by hand.
• New: refreshed appearance — Trimr now uses the shared twoplus11 palette and a regenerated app icon, so it matches the rest of the family.
• Fixed: contrast and keyboard-navigation problems (WCAG 2.1 AA) — faint text is now readable, and every control can be reached and used from the keyboard.
• Fixed: the Check for Updates button spins while it checks, instead of flashing an empty window.

1.2.0 — July 19, 2026 · Play the selection

• New: play just the selection. A new transport button — or ⇧Space — plays from the selection's start and stops right at its end, so you can check your trim points by ear instead of dragging the playhead into place. Works with cuts and fades; with Loop on it keeps looping the selection as before.

1.1.9 — July 18, 2026 · Tags

• New: a Tags tab to view and edit a file's title, artist, album, year, genre, comment, and album art — saved straight to the file, no export needed.

1.1.8 — July 17, 2026 · 13 languages

• New: 13-language localization with an in-app flag picker (auto-detects your Mac's language, override anytime).

1.1.7 — July 16, 2026 · Audible fade preview

• Fixed: fades are now audible while previewing. Adding a fade in or out and pressing play used to sound exactly like no fade — the curve only showed up in the exported file. The preview now rides the same fade Trimr will render, so you hear the ease in and out before you export. Works alongside cuts and speed changes, since fades apply to the final trimmed length.

1.1.6 — July 16, 2026 · Appearance override fix

• Fixed: pinning the appearance to Light or Dark (instead of following the system) now restyles the whole window — previously the translucent header and footer kept the system's appearance, leaving hard-to-read text when the override and the system disagreed.

1.1.5 — July 15, 2026 · “Tip”

• Renamed the “Donate” link to “Tip.”

1.1.4 — July 15, 2026 · Dark icon refinement

• Refined the dark-mode Dock icon: now a true near-black, monochrome-style background with just a hint of violet, instead of a deeper tint of the same color.

1.1.3 — July 15, 2026 · Icon fix

• Fixed: the app icon could show the wrong light/dark variant in Finder, Spotlight, Launchpad, and the Dock while Trimr wasn't running. It now updates everywhere immediately, not just the Dock tile of an already-open app.

1.1.2 — July 14, 2026 · Dock icon appearance & padding fix

• New: the Dock icon now follows your Mac's light/dark appearance automatically — or pin it to Light or Dark from the new appearance toggle.
• Fixed: the Dock icon rendered edge-to-edge with no padding, making it look larger than every other app in the Dock. It now follows Apple's standard icon grid, sized and spaced to match.

1.1.1 — July 13, 2026 · twoplus11 credit & support prompt

• twoplus11 wordmark credit in the footer and update panel.
• Occasional, low-pressure prompt to support twoplus11 after extended use — never more than once, easy to dismiss for good.

1.1.0 — July 12, 2026 · Update checks & business license from the header

Update checks, and a business license from the header.

• New: Automatic update checks — the app quietly checks about once a week and badges the update button when a newer version is available (never a pop-up; nothing is downloaded or installed automatically). Turn it off with Automatically check for updates in the update panel.
• New: a Business license button in the header — one click to upgrade to, or manage, a business license.
• Improved: the header's Report an issue icon is now a clearly-labeled Help button, alongside a new Review button to leave feedback in one click.

1.0.2 — July 10, 2026 · Safety and polish

• Fixed a rare data-loss case — editing a file back onto itself when the new name differed only by letter case (e.g. REC.WAV → REC.wav) could truncate the original. Trimr now always writes to a distinct file.
• No more accidental lock-outs — a brief hiccup from the licensing server used to be able to lock a paid seat for up to a day. It now falls back to your offline grace period and re-checks automatically.
• Tighter privacy & security — your license file is now stored so only your account can read it, and update links are restricted to twoplus11.com over HTTPS.
• Accessibility — the tool tabs now follow the standard arrow-key pattern, and a small contrast fix on the join list.

1.0.1 — July 10, 2026 · New accent color

A fresh coat of paint.

• New accent color — Trimr now wears a brighter magenta throughout the app and its waveform, matching its spot in the twoplus11 lineup

1.0.0 — July 7, 2026 · Initial public release

The first release. Every audio tool, one window — entirely on your Mac.

• Waveform editor — drag in any audio file (or a video, to pull its sound out) and see it. Drag to select, zoom to the millisecond, play exactly what you'll export. Fully keyboard-driven (Space, arrows, I/O, Z/F) and VoiceOver-accessible
• Trim & cut — keep only the selection, or cut out as many sections as you like. Cuts preview live: playback skips them so you hear the final edit before exporting. Every cut is one click to restore
• Silence — find every quiet gap (choose how quiet, for how long), highlight them on the waveform, then remove them all in one click — or split the file into separate tracks at each silence
• Loudness — measure a file's real loudness (LUFS + true peak), nudge it with a gain slider, or normalize every export to −14 LUFS (streaming), −16 (podcast), −23 (broadcast), or a −1 dB peak — proper two-pass EBU R128, measured on the edited audio
• Fades — smooth or linear fade in/out, drawn on the waveform so you see exactly what you'll hear
• Speed — 0.5× to 3× with pitch preserved; the preview plays at the new speed
• Join — combine files in any order, with an optional crossfade, into one seamless file
• Ringtone — select up to 40 seconds and get an iPhone-ready .m4r with a gentle fade-out
• Convert — M4A, MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, OGG, and OPUS out, with bitrate, sample-rate, and mono/stereo control. Almost any audio or video format in
• Non-destructive by design — originals are never modified; every export is a new file, and same-name files are never overwritten unless you say so
• Private by design — everything runs on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, no account, no telemetry
• Signed and notarized by Apple — macOS 12+, Apple Silicon & Intel
• Free for personal use forever — every tool, no account, no trial, no watermarks; commercial use requires a one-time $5-per-computer business license
