This is a major release, made possible thanks to the recent contributions of many brothers to the project. May Allah greatly reward them for their efforts and the work they have put into this software.

🌟 New Features

🤖 Automatic Video Segmentation (AI) (ft. @Hetchy)

  • Automatic subtitle generation from video files using AI.

  • Two available modes:

    • Cloud segmentation → fast but limited
    • Local segmentation → requires a good GPU, but fully offline

  • Automatically subtitles your recitation in minutes.

  • Segments that are uncertain or incomplete are clearly marked for manual review in the editor.

📁 Flexible Export Paths

  • You can now choose custom export folders for:

    • Videos
    • Subtitles
    • YouTube chapters
    • Project data

🎧 Recitation Download & Asset Management (ft. @sherifcodeur)

  • New section to download recitations directly from the app:

  • New context menu option to split a subtitle at the cursor position (ft. @sherifcodeur).

  • New shortcut D to split subtitles instantly (ft. @sherifcodeur).

  • New shortcut I to jump back to the start of the video (ft. @sherifcodeur).

      • Otherwise applies to the last added subtitle.

    • E (edit current subtitle):

      • Same improved behavior as above.

  • In the Subtitles Editor, the currently playing subtitle is now automatically highlighted and scrolled into view.
