Field notes

The workflow begins with a folder on the Mac; the homepage says no project setup, import, or upload is needed. Users can sort clips by date, duration, size, and viewing frequency, then keep review marks and playlists without changing filenames. Comparison supports up to twelve player panes, with either shared-timeline scrubbing or independent control. The homepage identifies the latest release as v1.3.0.
