Mac App Launch 🍎
We kicked off the year with something big. The dadan Mac app is now live, making recording smoother, faster, and way more flexible for macOS users.
Here’s what’s new 👇
🖥️ Native Mac App (Intel + Silicon)
Built specifically for macOS, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon. Better performance, more stability, and a smoother recording experience overall.
🎥 Flexible Recording Modes
Record your full screen, a specific window, or just a custom area. Add your camera, or go screen-only, whatever works for your workflow.
🔊 Advanced Audio Controls
Control microphone and system audio separately, with built-in noise suppression. Balance voice and system sound exactly how you want.
🎯 Real-time Zoom & Focus
Zoom in while recording and let the screen follow your cursor. No need to fix it in post, it’s all done live.
✍️ On-screen Annotations
Draw, highlight, add text, shapes, and more while recording. Perfect for demos, walkthroughs, and tutorials.
📹 Custom Camera Bubble
Adjust size, shape, position, and even add backgrounds or blur. Save your preferred setup and reuse it anytime.
⚡ Smart Sharing Flow
Auto-copy links, quick upload popups, and instant sharing once your video is ready.
🔕 Distraction-free Recording
Enable Do Not Disturb while recording so nothing interrupts your flow.
More improvements are already in motion, and this is just the beginning 🚀
We spent January tightening things up behind the scenes. No shiny new features this time, but lots of important fixes to make sure everything works the way it should.
Here’s what we cleaned up 👇
📱 Embed Issues Resolved (Mobile + Desktop)
Videos embedded on external pages now play smoothly across both desktop and mobile devices. No more awkward loading or broken embeds.
✍️ Transcript Editor Accuracy Improved
The transcript editor now correctly detects filler words like “eh” and “uh,” making text-based editing more accurate and reliable.

Resolved transcript generation errors for long recordings, especially in Arabic, Chinese, French, and German. Long videos should now process without issues.
💳 Subscription Issues Fixed
We’ve fixed issues affecting subscriptions so plan changes and payments now go through as expected.
🐞 Overall Stability Improvements
A handful of smaller fixes and performance tweaks went in to keep things running smoothly.
As always, thank you for your patience and for flagging issues. More updates coming soon ✨
