Changelog

A history of updates and improvements to Spectra.

v1.0.32026-08-30

+Intel Mac support — Spectra previously published an Apple Silicon build only, which an Intel Mac refuses to launch outright. There is now a separate Intel build
+The download page detects which Mac you're on and offers the matching build, with both always one click away

~Auto-updates now follow each Mac's processor, so an Intel and an Apple Silicon machine each keep receiving the correct build
~macOS requirement is now stated as macOS 11 Big Sur or later on either processor, replacing the previous Apple-Silicon-only wording

v1.0.22026-08-30

+Lyric Segmenter structure suggestions — repeated sections are detected and offered as Chorus / Verse / Refrain labels you accept with a click, one at a time or all at once. Nothing is renamed unless you accept it
+"Detect structure" — a meaning-based pass that still recognises a chorus when a word or two changes between repeats
+Live font preview in the canvas designer — arrowing through the font list draws each font on the real slide, so you can see how it reads before you commit
+Video scale slider — zoom a video clip on the projector, extra displays, and the NDI feed together, the way the image scale slider already worked

~Smarter lyric slide breaks — lines now break at the end of a thought and split into evenly sized slides, so a verse never ends with a single stranded line and text projects at a consistent size across a song

*Portrait and off-ratio video is no longer zoomed in and cropped to fill a 16:9 screen — a phone clip or square social export now fits on screen whole

v1.0.12026-08-19

+NDI runtime now ships with Spectra — broadcasting works out of the box, with nothing extra to install
+Background library — keep a set of backgrounds and looping animation videos, and switch between them at any time
+"Reset app" (Settings → Account) — sign out and wipe local data before handing the computer to someone else

~Cleaner, more consistent confirmation dialogs throughout the app, in place of the old system pop-ups
~Windows: removed the extra menu bar for a tidier window, and the uninstaller can now optionally remove your data

v1.0.02026-08-18

+AI Listener — detects the Bible verses in your sermon in real time and, with Autopilot, projects them hands-free
+Complete presentation suite — scripture, songs, custom slides, media, and countdowns, with your own branding, fonts, and animated backdrops
+Song & Hymn library with the Lyric Segmenter — paste lyrics and auto-structure them into verses, choruses, and bridges
+NDI broadcasting — stream the live output over your network to OBS, vMix, ATEM Mini, and other NDI software
+Multi-display output, Dual Bible view, and a free-form canvas designer for custom slides
+AI sermon notes, and speech recognition that runs entirely on your device so audio never leaves your machine
