v1.0.1: Stability update
June 4, 2026
This update focuses on the two issues reported after launch: local AI device mode and the unsaved-project close prompt.
Changes
- Fixed Local AI processing mode so choosing CPU actually forces the clip-selection AI to run on CPU.
- Kept transcription device selection separate, so Whisper can still use GPU automatically when it is safe while CPU mode controls the local AI clip finder.
- Added stricter GPU mode behavior. If GPU mode is selected and CUDA is not really being used, ClipShip fails clearly instead of silently falling back.
- Reduced Settings flicker by preloading hardware and CUDA status when the app starts.
- Improved the unsaved-project close prompt so the app cleanup waits until the window is really closing.
- Cleaned up local AI error messages so failed model/server startup is easier to understand.
Notes
- First-time setup still needs internet for the bundled model, transcription runtime, and optional CUDA downloads.
- Windows SmartScreen may still warn on install because ClipShip does not yet have an EV code-signing certificate.
