Changelog

1.0.0 — July 9, 2026 · Initial public release

The first release. Drop a video, tap a target, it fits — every time.

• Guaranteed fit — pick Discord (10 MB), WhatsApp (16 MB), Email (20 MB), Discord Nitro Basic (50 MB), Nitro (500 MB), or any custom size. Squishr works out the exact bitrate, encodes with Apple hardware, then checks the real file size and automatically re-encodes smaller if needed — falling back to two-pass precision encoding. The file always lands under the limit
• Honest quality meter — before you wait for an encode, a meter shows how the video will look at that size: Great, Decent, Rough, or Won't look good — with one-tap fixes (drop to 720p, cap 30 fps, smaller audio, drop audio, trim it shorter)
• Trim — drag handles on a filmstrip to keep just the moment. A shorter clip means dramatically better quality at the same target; the meter and estimate update live. Fully keyboard-driven and VoiceOver-accessible
• Batch — drop any number of videos (or a whole folder) and compress them all to one target, two at a time, with per-file progress
• The hard files work — rotated iPhone portrait video stays portrait, HDR is tone-mapped so colors don't wash out, 120 fps screen recordings get capped when the budget is tight, 5.1 surround is downmixed, GIFs become tiny MP4s, and variable-frame-rate captures keep their timing
• Non-destructive by design — originals are never modified; every compress writes a new file ("clip — Discord.mp4") next to the original or into a folder you choose, and existing files are never overwritten
• 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 — unlimited files, no account, no trial, no watermarks; optional one-time $5-per-computer business license for commercial use
