Changelog

What's new.

Every release, in plain language. Here's where Wideframe is — and where it's headed.

1.191
August 13, 2026

Wideframe puts its best multi-monitor work in everyone’s hands and opens a direct line for candid feedback.

  • NewSpanning for everyone. Every user can span one image across an entire rig. The first three successful span sets are clean; after that spanning stays available with a small Wideframe mark. Pro stays clean forever.
  • NewSend Feedback. Write anything from Help or Settings, preview the optional diagnostic context, and send it directly to Wideframe without third-party analytics or support SDKs.
  • PilotWideframe Rig Lab. A limited group of unusually complex display rigs may be invited to unlock Pro permanently in exchange for candid feedback.
  • PrivacyClear boundaries. Voluntary feedback has its own encrypted inbox and retention policy; message text never enters anonymous usage signals, the marks database, or dashboards.
1.186
August 9, 2026

A more reliable release with a clearer explanation of the small, first-party usage signals that help improve Wideframe.

  • PrivacyMore detail, still private. The policy now explains the coarse feature, display, quality and performance signals Wideframe uses. It still never sends images, names, paths, tag text, collection names, searches, serial numbers, accounts, ads, or third-party data.
  • QualityBetter diagnostics. Broad display-density, output-quality, and performance ranges help us find mixed-display and wallpaper problems without collecting a hardware fingerprint.
  • ReliabilityClearer delivery. Usage signals include the exact app build and language setting so a reported issue can be tied to the right release, while the Settings switch remains the sole opt-out.
Privacy
August 5, 2026

A change to the Privacy Policy, posted ahead of the release that carries it. Wideframe is going to start sending a small, anonymous record of how the app runs, so we can find errors and see which features people actually use.

  • PrivacyUsage signals. Session length, a coarse description of your display rig, which features you used, and an error code when something breaks — sent to our own server. On by default, with a notice in the app the first time and an off switch in Settings. Turning it off also destroys the install ID on your Mac.
  • PrivacyWhat hasn't changed. Your images, file names and folders never leave your Mac. Still no accounts, no third-party analytics, no ads, no tracking, and nothing sold. Every field we do send is listed in section 1 of the policy.
  • PrivacyA promise we're retiring. The old policy said any future online capability would be opt-in. This one isn't — it's on by default with a disclosure and a switch. We'd rather say that plainly than leave the old sentence up.

June 24, 2026
Launch

The first public release. Wideframe is reborn as a focused little studio for desktop wallpapers — built around the display you actually own, whatever its size or shape.

Highlights

  • NewKnow your display. Built-in presets for the ultrawides — the 34″ UltraWide, 5K2K, the Odyssey G9 and a triple-27″ span — plus auto-detection of your connected monitors and any custom resolution, so every crop targets a real display.
  • NewSmart framing. Pan, zoom and nudge with rule-of-thirds guides, plus auto-framing that finds the subject and proposes the best slice.
  • NewLive desktop preview. Judge your wallpaper behind a real menu bar, dock and icons — light or dark — before you export.
  • NewReadability adjustments. Optional auto-darken, edge vignette and a soft scrim under the dock. Non-destructive, off by default.
  • NewHonest quality guidance. See the exact output resolution and get a friendly heads-up before you ship anything soft.
  • NewOne-click Set as Wallpaper, per display, without leaving the app.
  • ProWideframe Pro ($14.99 once): watermark-free output, Library & Collections with tags, and bezel-aware multi-monitor spanning.

Under the hood

  • DesignAn all-new Aurora identity — light, optimistic chrome around a dark stage where your image is the star.
  • PrivacyYour images are framed on-device and never uploaded. No accounts, no third-party analytics, no ads, no tracking — the full detail is on the Privacy Policy.
