Each comes with original practice files, written steps and a narrated video, with no signup.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Format guides explain what PES, DST, JEF, VP3, EXP and other formats store, and what Satinsmith does with each. Teachers can find a class plan built from the lessons.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When the free plan reaches a paid tool, Satinsmith now offers a free evaluation key right beside the purchase. The license-key field stays out of the way until you choose I Have a License Key.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Anonymous usage statistics now also count when a lesson is started, completed or exported, recognized from the lesson&amp;#x27;s own files. File names are never sent, and the same switch in Settings › Privacy &amp;amp; Updates turns it off.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Saved designs now record the Satinsmith version that wrote them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Known limits are listed on the website: SEP, GNC, FHE and FDR are not supported, and Satinsmith runs on Apple silicon only.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Satinsmith 1.0 — paid plans open (1.0.0)</title><id>https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v1.0.0</id><link href="https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v1.0.0"/><updated>2026-09-24T00:00:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Paid plans are on sale: Studio $99, Digitizer $249, Digitizer Pro $599 and Business $999, one-time, with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Buy from the website or Settings › License › Compare Plans.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business: personalize a lettering template for up to 100 names at once, estimate job cost and save repeat-order settings in the design.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Writes Husqvarna HUS and VIP and Singer CSD files. Satinsmith now opens 24 machine formats and writes 14.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Digitizing: draw your own satin seams, blend two threads across a satin, choose covered entry and exit points, use compact tie-ins, and keep an SVG as a reference layer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Photo mode can sew continuous tone fills; hoop splitting can cut every object type.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stitch recovery rebuilds staggered-row fills from generated designs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Each paid plan includes more designs, templates and six open fonts, with credits in the app.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixes: sewing clips no longer add trims to unclipped travel; knife cuts keep valid entry and exit points; three bundled fonts are converted at their intended weights; clearer messages while a purchased key is being verified.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Known limits are listed on the website: SEP, GNC, FHE and FDR are not supported, and Satinsmith runs on Apple silicon only.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Anonymous usage statistics you control, and a new website (0.2.2)</title><id>https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v0.2.2</id><link href="https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v0.2.2"/><updated>2026-09-23T00:00:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Satinsmith can now send anonymous usage statistics: a few small counts a day of which features get used, with no file names, designs, account or anything that identifies you or your Mac. They help decide what to improve.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Statistics are on by default. Turn them off in Settings › Privacy &amp;amp; Updates; switching off also discards anything not yet sent. The privacy policy in the app and on the website lists exactly what is sent.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The website is redesigned around embroidery made in Satinsmith itself, with a stitch-out animation, a screen of each tool, and a new details page for the full format table, examples and comparisons.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new narrated tour of 0.2.2 is on the website, with captions and chapter links. The narration is a synthetic voice, and the paid tools are shown with an evaluation key.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>A clearer artwork review, exact photo sizes and new tool icons (0.2.1)</title><id>https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v0.2.1</id><link href="https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v0.2.1"/><updated>2026-09-23T00:00:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Prepare Raster Artwork is easier to read: every setting sits in one scrolling review, and the Create and Cancel buttons stay in full view below it. Vector import works the same way.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Photo mode now makes a design exactly the width you type, and tells you when a width is out of range instead of quietly changing it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If an image cannot be read or prepared, the review says why and what to try next, instead of waiting forever.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Artwork previews are prepared once in the background rather than rebuilt on every redraw.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Run, fill, curve and node editing have clearer icons in the tool strip.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Selected tools and underlay choices look the same everywhere and are announced as selected by VoiceOver; library tiles offer Open and Select to assistive technologies.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new narrated tour of 0.2.1 is on the website, with captions and chapter links.

The stitches redraw as you go.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Export design checks can fix what they find: sew a narrow satin as a triple run, enlarge small text, or trim before a long travel, each as one step you can undo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sewing order has two design-wide options: tie in and off automatically, and hide travel under same-colour stitching.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Photo mode (Digitizer Pro) turns photographs and shaded artwork into layered fills. It is a first version: check the density overlay and test-sew before a finished piece.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recovery reads how a machine file was sewn, splits its blocks where the stitching changes, and proposes editable runs, satins and fills for you to review. Anything it does not recognise stays exactly as it was.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Vector import now accepts PDF, Illustrator files saved with PDF compatibility, and DXF, with layers, in the same review as SVG.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Resizing suggests a better underlay when a satin column becomes much narrower or wider, and explains why.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The knife can cut along a freehand line, runs can be copied as parallel runs, and background artwork has handles on the canvas.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Designs can open in their own windows. Command-W closes the design in front and always asks before discarding changes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Satinsmith now writes Janome SEW and Toyota 10o, and reads Janome PAT.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try the editing tools on the bundled showcase design without a license. Joining the waitlist emails you a free, time-limited evaluation key for the paid tools on your own designs. Nothing is for sale until 1.0, and exports during an evaluation count toward the free five a month.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Paths inside your home folder are shown starting with ~/.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A new narrated tour of 0.2.0 is on the website, with captions and chapter links.

Quit Satinsmith before replacing it when you update.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The download button now uses a permanent link, so a bookmark or a link someone shared still works after the next release. The page keeps showing the exact version and its checksum.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lettering shows you what a change will do before you commit to it, with draft review and alternative previews.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Large design folders redraw faster because thumbnails are reused instead of regenerated.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Help &amp;gt; Send Feedback opens an email draft to support with your Satinsmith and macOS versions filled in. Nothing is sent unless you send it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Waitlist emails include a link that removes your details when you confirm it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The privacy notice now describes cookie-free visit counting on the website. The app itself still has no analytics.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A five-minute narrated tour of this version is on the website, with captions and chapter links. The narration is a synthetic voice.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In the 3D tilt view, the selection outline now tilts with the design instead of staying flat.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Reliable startup, Finder previews and clearer launch plans (0.1.12)</title><id>https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v0.1.12</id><link href="https://satinsmith.tempore.net/releases/#v0.1.12"/><updated>2026-09-20T00:00:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Satinsmith can open with a temporary library if its saved database is unavailable, instead of crashing at launch.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finder Quick Look now uses the correct data-based preview registration.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The website includes actual app screenshots and clearer planned pricing, licensing and refund information.
