v1.0.13Jul 10
Consistent, Polished Details
This update refines Echo's look and a couple of small details.
- A consistent accent everywhere. Echo's panel border now always matches your chosen accent colour, in both light and dark, instead of occasionally picking up the album's colour.
- The minimalist scrollbar throughout. The Settings panel now uses Echo's own slim scrollbar, matching the rest of the app.
- An accurate now-playing position. The now-playing card always shows your true position. If you ever saw it flash to the start for a moment when you pressed play, this resolves that, your place was always kept.
v1.0.12Jul 9
A Faster, Sharper Player
This update makes opening Echo's player quick and precise.
- Opens fast. Echo now quietly prepares the video you're watching in the background, so lifting it into the player is near-instant instead of waiting for it to load.
- Picks up right where you are. The player now continues from exactly where the sound is when you open it, no jumping back a few seconds.
- Remembers its size. The player reopens at whatever size you last left it, even after you quit and reopen Echo.
v1.0.11Jul 9
A More Dependable Player
This update makes Echo's own player even more dependable.
- Echo always knows what it's playing. When you play a video in Echo's own player, the now-playing card stays locked to it and the controls always reach it, even if a browser tab starts something in the background. If the card ever showed the wrong thing or a button seemed to do nothing, this resolves it.
v1.0.10Jul 6
Clearer Settings, Tidier Menu
This update refines the everyday details around Settings and Echo's menu.
- A clearer way out of Settings. The Settings panel now has an unmistakable Done button, with the esc shortcut right beside it, so stepping back into Echo is obvious at a glance.
- A tidier menu. Echo's menu is streamlined to the essentials: Open Echo, Settings, Support, Check for Updates, and Quit.
v1.0.9Jul 6
A New Support Menu
This update makes getting help and sharing ideas easier.
- A new Support menu. Report a bug, request a feature, leave a testimonial, browse the roadmap, or check the FAQ, right from Echo's menu-bar menu and a new Support tab in Settings.
v1.0.8Jul 1
Dependable Playback Controls
This update makes the playback controls even more dependable.
- Controls always reach the right app. Echo's play/pause and skip now reliably control Spotify and Apple Music even when a browser tab is holding your Mac's Now Playing controls. If a button ever seemed to do nothing, this resolves it.
v1.0.7Jun 30
Rock-Solid Resume
This update keeps your place rock-solid, even with a browser tab still open.
- Always land where you left off. If a still-open browser tab ever grabs playback after you've moved on in Echo, it now jumps straight to your latest spot instead of an earlier one. If you ever noticed a video starting from an earlier part than you'd actually reached, this resolves it.
v1.0.6Jun 27
Stronger Foundations
This update makes Echo more robust under the hood.
- Tighter, safer foundations. Refined how Echo connects to its browser companion and stores your licence, with safer handling of anything that comes from the web.
- Smoother and more reliable. Your history now saves entirely in the background, cover art loads more safely, finished items resume cleanly, and a range of edge cases across resume and capture are more dependable.
v1.0.5Jun 27
A Better Way to Share Feedback
This update makes sharing feedback easier.
- A better way to share feedback. Send Feedback now opens a dedicated board where you can report bugs, request features, and see what others have suggested. Need account or licence help? You can still reach us by email any time.
v1.0.4Jun 25
A Tidier History
This update keeps your history cleaner and more accurate.
- A tidier history. Each YouTube video you play is remembered as a single entry, even when you pass through a search or channel page along the way. If you ever saw the same video listed twice, this resolves that.
v1.0.3Jun 24
Furthest-Point Resume
This update keeps your place better than ever, wherever you play.
- Pick up from your furthest point, every time. Echo now always returns you to the furthest place you reached in anything you play, even if you replay it in another tab or skip around. If you ever noticed Echo sending you back to an earlier spot, this update keeps your place.
- Smarter capture. Refinements to how Echo decides what's worth remembering.
v1.0.2Jun 24
A Smoother First Launch
A smoother first launch, and a stronger connection to the browser companion.
- The welcome appears right away. When you first open Echo it shows the setup straight away, summoning works on the first try, and the window stays put while you add the browser extension.
- A more reliable browser link. Echo now connects to its browser companion over a faster, fully on-device channel that isn't affected by browser network rules, firewalls or VPNs.
v1.0.1Jun 23
Effortless Resuming
This update makes resuming feel effortless, with a few refinements you'll notice everywhere.
- Resume the way you left it. Click anything and it picks up exactly how you were enjoying it: a video returns to Picture-in-Picture if that's how you were watching, music plays right inside its app, and nothing opens a browser tab you didn't ask for.
- Skip tracks from anywhere. Next and Previous now control web players like Spotify, YouTube Music and SoundCloud, not just native apps.
- Instant Picture-in-Picture. The first time you open Picture-in-Picture is now immediate and flash-free.
- A more polished welcome. Refined first-run guidance when you set Echo up.
v1.0.0Jun 19
Welcome to Echo
Welcome to Echo: your media memory for Mac. Echo quietly remembers everything you play across your apps and the browser, so you can pick any of it back up from a fast, keyboard-first overlay.
