Sixteen releases. Sixteen weeks. V16 brings native external drive support so you can browse USB drives and mounted volumes directly.

Image and audio tools get the same polished dialog experience as video.
What's New in V16
External Drive Support
Plug in a USB drive or mount a volume and it appears right in your file browser. Cross-platform detection works on Mac and Windows. Organize files on external drives with the same tools you use for local files -- drag, drop, rename, and process with AI.
Archive Compress & Extract
Compress files into archives or extract them with a full preview of contents before you commit. See exactly what is inside a ZIP or 7z before extracting. Proper dialogs for every step so you stay in control.
Better Editing Tools
The markdown editor gets a new search highlight overlay with match navigation -- jump between results instantly. Subtitle conversion with data-loss warnings keeps you informed.
Faster Video & Upgraded Media Tools
Video export, compression, conversion, and trimming are now hardware-accelerated -- noticeably faster on machines with capable GPUs. Image tools now have the same polished 2-step dialogs, context menu integration, and file info as video tools. Audio tools get dedicated dialogs and context menu support too.
