Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes — in plain language. Newest first.

Added

Your first video now gives you everything at once

After you add your first video, one results page shows live progress, your full transcript and a free set of show notes, a LinkedIn post, an X thread and a blog post — usually within a couple of minutes — then your clips as soon as they're ready. Take a quick tour or connect your socials while you wait; the tracker in the top bar brings you back when everything's done.

Added

Studio no longer throws away extra clips

When Studio finds more clips than your plan includes (3 on Free, 5 on Starter), the extras now appear on your project as locked clips instead of being discarded. Upgrade and they unlock on the same project — no need to process the video again.

Improved

AI Clips now uses our highest-quality mode by default

Clips now default to our more thorough processing mode for everyone — it delivers at least one usable clip far more reliably and with a much lower failure rate than the faster mode, even though total time-to-ready is actually quicker on average. The faster mode is still available for short videos under 2 minutes.

Fixed

Audio Enhance: Remove Filler Words now actually works

The "Remove Filler Words" option (part of Studio Sound and Podcast Pro) wasn't being applied, so enhanced audio could sound identical to the original. Also smoothed out the playback progress bar, which used to visibly lag and snap during playback.

Fixed

Audiogram clips always show the correct video now

Fixed a bug where some audiogram videos — most noticeably on Episode Autopilot with multiple clips processing at once — could be paired with the wrong episode's video. Clips also now show cover art on Autopilot.

Added

Free podcast and YouTube description generator

Describe your show's topic and get an SEO-structured, directory-ready description — hook up front, natural keywords, no stuffing. Free, no signup required. Also available to Enterprise API partners as the show_description tool.

Added

Free podcast and YouTube channel name generators

Describe your show's topic and get AI-generated name ideas, each checked in real time against Apple Podcasts or YouTube handles for exact-name collisions. Free, no signup required, no results gated behind a signup wall. Also available to Enterprise API partners as the name_suggestions tool.

Added

Episode Title suggestions in Repurpose

Repurpose now generates 10 directory-optimized episode title options (front-loaded keywords, guest+topic formulas, podcast-app length limits) as its own content type, available in the dashboard and via the partner API's repurpose tool.

Improved

Fewer, more accurate emails from us

Personal check-ins from the founder now go only to people who've actually used Atomiser a lot, quote your real usage, and count towards the same limit as all our other emails: at most two a week, and your email preferences always apply.

Added

Partner API: repurpose and social publishing tools

Two more Atomiser capabilities are now available through the partner API: repurpose (turn transcript text into tweets, LinkedIn posts, show notes, and 12 other formats — billed only for the assets that generate successfully) and publish (end users connect their social accounts via OAuth and schedule posts, metered per destination account). The full integration guide is now public at atomiser.ai/partner-api-guide.md alongside the OpenAPI spec.

Added

Switch to yearly billing and save about 17%

On a monthly plan, flip the pricing toggle to Yearly and choose "Switch to yearly" on your current plan. You'll see exactly what you pay today before checkout. Moving from yearly back to monthly waits until your paid year ends, so you never lose time you've paid for. Yearly plans still get their credits every month.

Added

Move to a lower plan yourself, and keep what you paid for

You can now switch to a lower plan from the pricing page. You keep your current plan and its credits until your renewal date, nothing is charged today, and you can undo the switch any time before then from Billing or Pricing.

Fixed

Plan changes keep your billing period

If you pay yearly, changing plans now stays on yearly billing by default instead of switching you to monthly. We'll tell you clearly if a change also switches how often you're billed.

Added

Upgrade your plan in a couple of clicks

On a paid plan, you'll now see an upgrade option under your plan in the sidebar. Choosing a higher plan shows exactly what you'll pay today, what you get and when it renews, then takes you to a secure checkout. You stay on your current plan until the payment goes through, and if you close the checkout you can pick up where you left off.

Added

Pay in rupees with UPI

If you're in India, pricing now defaults to INR and checkout offers UPI (alongside cards). Prices shown include GST, so what you see is what you pay.

Fixed

Failed payments no longer show as successful

The payment confirmation page now checks your actual account status instead of assuming the checkout redirect means the payment went through. If the payment is still processing (common with UPI mandates), you'll see that honestly.

Improved

"Turn into blog posts & tweets" now pre-selects those exact formats

Clicking this suggestion after a clip finishes used to drop you on a blank list of 12 content types with nothing picked. It now opens with Blog Post and Twitter Thread already selected — matching what the suggestion promised — so you can generate right away.

Fixed

Smart crop no longer pans away and snaps back in wide shots

In scenes with two people (or sometimes even one), the camera could drift toward the wrong face for a moment and then jump back. The crop now holds steady on whoever it's tracking and only switches when a different person is clearly the focus for a full second.

Fixed

Studio clip titles no longer show as "Clip 1", "Clip 2", "Clip 3"

AI-generated titles for Studio clips occasionally echoed back the placeholder name instead of a real title. Fixed the underlying transcription step so titles are generated correctly, or fall back to a clean generic title instead of the placeholder.

Improved

Credit check happens before your file uploads, not after

If a video costs more credits than you have, the upload window now tells you upfront — before any file is uploaded — with a persistent upgrade panel showing the exact math and what each plan gets you. The upgrade state no longer disappears after a few seconds.

Improved

AI Reframe now guides long videos to AI Clips

AI Reframe supports videos up to 30 minutes. For longer recordings like podcasts and webinars, you're pointed to AI Clips, which finds and reframes the best moments automatically.

Improved

Stuck projects now refund your credits automatically

If a video gets stuck mid-processing and has to be marked as failed, any credits charged for it are now refunded automatically — previously a timeout could fail the project without returning credits.

Improved

Out-of-credits no longer looks like a failed project

If a video needs more credits than you have, it now shows a clear 'out of credits' state with an upgrade link and the exact credit math — instead of a red 'Processing Failed' error. No credits are charged for blocked videos.

Improved

Next-step suggestions now carry your finished work into the next tool

When a tool finishes, suggested follow-ups open with your content already loaded: "Publish to social" opens the composer with your file attached, audio outputs route to the Audiogram maker (which turns them into shareable videos), and Repurpose opens with your transcript or script pre-filled. Suggestions that can't carry your context no longer appear — no more landing on empty screens.

Added

Atomiser for Platforms: API access for partners and developers

Platforms can now embed Atomiser tools (transcription, subtitles, clips, reframe, dubbing, TTS, and more) inside their own products via a REST API at api.atomiser.ai. Jobs are asynchronous with signed webhooks, idempotency keys, cancel/retry, per-end-user usage metering, and test/live API keys. Public docs live at atomiser.ai/developers, with a machine-readable OpenAPI spec for generating clients.

Improved

Upgrade button now visible on mobile

Mobile users previously had no persistent way to see pricing or upgrade — the upgrade button was hidden on small screens. It now appears in the top bar on every page, alongside your trial countdown if you're on a trial.

Fixed

Dubbing credits now match your actual audio length

Fixed a bug where dubbing jobs longer than a minute were being charged as if they were exactly 60 seconds. Credits now reflect the real length of your source file, and Start Dubbing is disabled with a clear message if your balance can't cover the job.

Improved

Visual Assets: simpler, fairer source flow

Importing from a URL in Visual Assets is now billed at the standard transcription rate (0.25 credit/min) instead of the higher Clips rate, and its transcript auto-populates from any linked project. Removed Upload Image and Stock Photos as background sources since they couldn't produce a transcript for text-based asset types.

Added

AI Transcription: history list and URL import

The Transcription modal now supports importing directly from a URL, and a new /transcribe history page lets you revisit past transcripts with a switcher to jump between them.

Improved

Smarter face framing in AI Clips

Smart Crop now zooms in based on how close or far a speaker is from the camera, so distant subjects are framed as a proper close-up instead of a tiny figure lost in a wide shot. Vertical clips also anchor faces higher in frame for natural headroom, and two-person shots keep both speakers visible instead of pushing one out.

Improved

Smoother clip cuts

Added a tiny audio fade at every clip cut point to eliminate the audible click or pop that could happen when a cut landed off a clean point in the waveform.

Added

Choose a Studio clip style

Studio mode (higher-production AI Clips) now offers a style picker with 8 looks — the default is free, the other 7 (Apple, Black Box, Pop of Yellow, Pink Pony, Conspiracy, Basic, Blue n Bold) are available on PRO+.

Added

Alerted if a scheduled post fails to publish

If a post you scheduled to social media fails to go out, you now get an email explaining what happened, which platform(s) failed, and confirming your credits were refunded — with a direct link to check your connected accounts.

Improved

Next steps suggestions when clips are ready

When your AI-generated clips finish rendering, you now see personalized suggestions for what to do next — add captions, create thumbnails, repurpose into posts, or dub into another language. This helps you discover the full creator pipeline instead of leaving after clips.

Improved

Upgrade prompts when credits run out

When you run out of credits and try to export or enhance, you're now taken directly to pricing instead of seeing a dead-end error. The upgrade modal also shows more frequently (every 8h instead of 24h) and uses clearer copy that prioritizes action over waiting.

Added

Bring your own video to AI Repurpose

AI Repurpose used to require a transcript from another tool (AI Clips, Transcription) before you could use it. Now you can upload a video/audio file, paste a URL (YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, X, Rumble), or pick from your Asset Library directly from the AI Repurpose card on your dashboard — we transcribe it in the background (same rate as standalone Transcription, 0.25 credit/min) and bring you back once it's ready to turn into posts, blogs, and more.

Added

In-app notification bell

A bell icon in the top bar now shows new changelog entries and admin announcements. Changelog items auto-populate from the same JSON the CI check enforces, so the bell is always current without manual upkeep. Admins can also create one-off notifications from the admin panel for time-sensitive announcements.

Added

RSS feed for the changelog

The changelog now has an RSS feed at /changelog/rss.xml for users who want to subscribe via feed readers. Reads from the same auto-updating JSON as the page.

Added

Monthly changelog digest email

Users with product update emails enabled now receive a monthly summary of what shipped. Reaches you even if you don't log in — part of our effort to make sure no one misses improvements.

Fixed

Feature announcements now respect your email preferences

Admin feature-announcement emails previously bypassed opt-outs, bounce suppression, and internal-account filters. They now go through the same safety checks as every other email — if you turned off product-update emails, you will not receive them, and bounced addresses are no longer re-emailed.

Added

This changelog page

A permanent, public record of what changed on Atomiser. Linked from the in-app help menu so you can check what shipped without waiting for an email.

Fixed

Project-expiry warning emails were silently not logging

The 24-hour project-expiry warning was sending but not appearing in our email dashboard, and a user with multiple expiring projects could receive duplicate emails. Both are fixed — warnings are now deduped per user and visible in our logs.

Added

Pre-upload audio validation

When you import a video, Atomiser now checks for an audio track before processing starts and warns you if none is detected — so you do not spend credits on a file that cannot be transcribed or clipped.

Improved

Next-step suggestions across nine tools

After finishing a tool, Atomiser now suggests a logical next step (e.g. after transcription → generate captions). The surface respects a per-suggestion dismissal, a 7-day per-source cooldown, and a 4-hour global cooldown so it never repeats the same suggestion twice.

Fixed

Upgrade modal showed an incorrect price

The upgrade prompt that appears when credits run low was displaying the wrong price in some cases. It now shows the correct Starter and Pro pricing.

Fixed

Bounced addresses were being re-emailed

Email suppression was not checking the bounce/complaint flag, so a bounced address could keep receiving emails. Suppression now blocks any address flagged by Resend webhooks.

Improved

Inactivity re-engagement now targets the right users

The win-back email previously used a field that changed on unrelated database updates, causing it to target the wrong users. It now targets users who were genuinely active 8–14 days ago based on actual credit usage.

Improved

Free tools now linked from site footers

The free tools (transcript generator, audio-to-text, MP4 to MP3, SRT subtitles, show notes) were previously unlinked from the rest of the site. They are now linked from the homepage, blog, and persona-page footers so visitors and search engines can find them. Also corrected the tools pages to say 30 free credits/month and 5 free runs per day, matching current limits.

Improved

Free tools pages now match the Atomiser look

The free-tools hub and tool pages were polished to match our design language: pastel feature cards on the hub (same style as the homepage), the brand teal accent instead of off-palette green, and a proper footer with site links on every tool page. All nine free tools are now linked from every footer.

New

Diary of an Indie Hacker — a serialized build diary

We've kept a private build journal since day one — ~200 entries across ten months. Now we're publishing it on the blog, one journal day at a time, lightly edited for privacy. Entry 1 covers launch day: shipping the MVP and immediately rebuilding its own UI.

Improved

Consistent card menus and back buttons across tools

Every project card on your dashboard now uses the same hover menu (the ⋮ button with Rename/Delete) instead of two different icon styles. Dubbing, Transcription, Text to Speech, Studio, and Workflows now have the same back button as the other tools. Audio Enhance also switched to its proper indigo accent color.
