VIBECUT / FIELD NOTES
A clear plan.
A real deadline.
Our deadline for delivering the first release is October 13, 2026. The Mac developer preview is available now; version 0.4.3 keeps long-running analysis recoverable when desktop waiting ends. Check your account and the Early Bird offer page for current purchase availability.

Available now: Mac developer preview.
Download developer preview for Apple silicon and macOS 12 or later. Version 0.4.3 is Developer ID signed and notarized. It includes timeline editing, reviewable AI changes, captions and creative tools, plus shape masks and Smart People masks.
This is a developer preview. Version 0.4.3 retains portrait-mask opacity, stability improvements, and feather controls. Inspect masks in the timeline and in a short exported test, especially around movement and fine edges. AI tools depend on account access, credits, and provider availability. Your account shows current purchase availability.
First-release delivery: no later than October 13, 2026.
This deadline applies to delivery of the first desktop release through the Vibecut website. We will keep this page current as release checks are completed. It does not promise that every planned improvement will be included in the first version.
The 0.4.3 update includes the Podcast profile and audio-only analysis, with analysis quoted per started minute: 2 Creative Credits for Audio only or 5 Creative Credits for Video + audio, calculated separately for each unique source. Read the podcast workflow for examples and review steps. Public product support is available, with AI answers grounded in the help pages and an email route for questions that need a closer look.
App Store distribution is a separate track.
We are evaluating Mac App Store distribution for North America and Europe. No App Store listing or preorder is available yet. Apple review, distribution requirements, and approval timing are separate from the website delivery deadline.
Downloading the current installer does not require an App Store preorder. We will link an official listing here if and when it becomes available.
Payments and early access.
The pricing page lists separate Trial, subscription and top-up options. Your account checks live availability before checkout. The separate $5 Early Bird offer is a one-time prepayment for a first 30-day Hobby term with 100 Creative Credits and 100 Edit Credits. Downloading the preview does not place an order, start that term, or add credits. The term starts only when you explicitly activate after delivery, with no automatic renewal. Unused credits remain spendable after the term while your account remains active; the planned $12.99/month subscription is a separate, optional purchase. Check the offer page for availability and full terms.
For a question about access or the schedule, email David. You do not need to send payment details or private footage.
