Today Sashimii opens to everyone: **0.5.0, the first public beta, is out.** Sign up, confirm your email and download it. From here on, new versions arrive in the app.

## Tested Hard, So You Can Just Edit

The biggest difference between this release and the last test version is the testing. We spent this stretch working through the app recording by recording and fixing the edge cases we found, so a rough cut, your notes and your agent's run hold up the way you expect. The result is a smoother, more reliable app that gets out of your way.

## What’s New

- **A steadier app.** Extensive testing and a long list of small edge-case fixes, so the work you do in Sashimii behaves the way you expect.
- **Updates arrive in the app.** Sashimii checks for new versions and installs them for you, so this is the only download you need.
- **A direct line for feedback.** Help › Send Feedback… opens the feedback board, where you can report a problem or ask for a feature. The more we hear from you, the better the beta gets.

## Also in This Release

| Change | Details |
| --- | --- |
| Fix | In Edit view playback the voice could drop out on some clips while music and effects kept playing. It now plays through. |
| Fix | In the voice cleanup preview, Original and Cleaned play at the same loudness, so you compare the sound and not the level. |

> **Note:** Sashimii needs a Mac with Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later, and an AI agent that can use skills, such as Claude Code or Codex. [Getting Started](https://sashimii.app/docs/getting-started/) walks through setup.
