Dolly 0.4.63

Changelog
What's new.
Every update is free. Here's what changed.
18 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.62
- Accounts that are already set up never get the About-you questions again, also when you sign in on a new Mac.
18 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.61
- The welcome and sign-in screens have Dolly's fresh look, in the app and in Settings.
- Signing in on a new Mac with an account that's already set up skips the About-you questions; only a missing name is asked.
18 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.60
- Every Dolly link is public; the only lock is an optional password. The members-only choice is gone.
- AI keys and Web AI are now one name: Dolly MCP (Workspace › Dolly MCP, Connect your AI › Dolly MCP on the web).
- Pro yearly is €7 a month, billed yearly.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.59
- Copy Embed Code and the website snippets end with a small Made with Dolly link; with Pro and branding off you get the bare player.
- The editor opens again on every Mac (0.4.58 could fail to load it).
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.58
- Workspace, like Loom and better: join your team's workspace when it's open to your email domain, choose right on the video who can watch, and Copy Link on every video.
- Seen by shows which teammates watched; your own videos open in the workspace with Manage Link; reply to comments; Already in instead of adding twice.
- Workspace videos play in Dolly's own player: comment markers on the timeline, speed, captions and keys.
- Typing a link password no longer starts playback, and Auto edit keeps takes that are mostly scrolling.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.57
- Dolly Cloud: links, Workspace, Dolly MCP are one package, included in Pro. Everyone has Pro until 30 November; links you already made keep working, and Quick Share stays free.
- Workspace news: a Mac notification when a teammate adds a video, comments or joins, and an unread count on Workspace. Switch it off in Settings › Account.
- Seen by: see which teammates watched your video.
- Blur all now blurs every copy when the same email shows twice.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.56
- Dolly Workspace: one library for your team. Invite people with a link, sort videos into folders, comment at a moment, and keep a video inside the workspace only.
- Give Claude Code, ChatGPT or Cursor a workspace AI key: it finds your team's videos, reads transcripts and puts a video on your site.
- After Get link, choose Add to workspace. Or turn on Also add to your workspace and every new link lands there.
- Quick Share, Get link and Connect your AI each have one name and one plain line on what they do; Connect your AI shows whether your AI can really control Dolly.
- Your AI can drive Dolly's own editor while it records, so it can film Dolly itself.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.50
- Lite recording: the same 60 fps picture in about half the disk space. Standard stays the default and the sharpest.
- Hide while typing is instant, and Dolly tells you when macOS didn't let it read the keyboard.
- Hide cursor in this clip cuts exactly at the clip's edges; click effects are off by default.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.49
- Sharp zoom in the editor too: zoomed parts sharpen live while you edit, and exports use a new text engine that keeps zoomed text crisp, also from non-Retina displays.
- AI Suite › Ready for AI: everything your AI needs, each with its live status and a button to the right setting.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.48
- The cursor lands exactly where you clicked, also in full-screen Chrome and on external displays; older recordings are corrected when you open them.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.47
- Super-sharp zoom: a 6x zoom in a 4K export now has edges as tight as a 2x zoom, made on your Mac.
- Record a whole app: Dolly follows windows that open during the take.
- AI videos look more polished, and your AI can film your own Chrome with a virtual cursor.
17 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.45
- Your AI drives Mac apps more safely: logged-in web apps open in your own Chrome, every step is checked, and moving the mouse or pressing Esc stops it.
- Web AIs (ChatGPT, claude.ai) reconnect by themselves, and Connect shows a live status per app.
16 October 2026
Dolly 0.4.44
- Auto edit: one Undo puts the whole edit back, and its suggestions disappear when it is done.
- Every tab icon in the editor has its own little move when you hover it.
16 October 2026

16 October 2026
