Changelog

What's new in Omitly

Release notes for the desktop app. Omitly runs locally — your documents never leave your device, in any version.

v2.0.0

3 July 2026

Licensing and trial, auto-redaction beyond emails, and selectable text in the viewer.

  • Redact personal info, not just emails

    Auto-detection now finds emails, SSNs, credit card numbers and phone numbers in one pass. Every match still goes through the mandatory review step before anything is removed, and each removal is tagged by category in the audit report.

  • Select and copy text in the viewer

    Text in the preview is now selectable with your normal copy shortcut. Selection is redaction-aware: text covered by a redaction box is excluded from selection and copy, so what you copy matches what you see.

  • Licences and free trial

    Omitly now activates offline with a licence file, and includes a built-in trial. Output produced during evaluation is marked as such in the audit report.

  • Licence-backed provenance (Pro)

    Licensed output can carry a provenance claim that verifies against Omitly's vendor key, alongside the existing tamper-evident seal.

  • Accessibility improvements

    Better dialog semantics, control names, live status announcements and contrast throughout the app.

  • Signing and verification hardening

    PAdES digital signing and seal verification continue to tighten based on internal red-team review — including stricter whole-file coverage checks on verify.

v1.0.0

2 July 2026

UI refresh, auto-updater and in-app support.

  • Refreshed two-tier toolbar and About dialog

    A cleaner layout that separates everyday editing from redaction tools.

  • Auto-updater

    Omitly checks for updates and installs a new release only if its signature matches. Documents are never part of an update check.

  • In-app support

    Send us a message from About → Support. Only the text you type, the app version and your OS are sent — never document content.

Update from inside the app: More ▾ → About → Check for updates. Questions? Support or [email protected].
