March 26, 2026
Voice-activated scrolling is now free for scripts up to 200 words — try the full smart scrolling experience before you buy.

Cue Points sidebar in the Editor, togglable from the toolbar, with an empty-state that shows you how to get started.
Onboarding now includes a dedicated Cue Points step.
Toolbar buttons are now logically grouped with visual separation between launch and sidebar controls.
