Corrected 2 October 2026. An audit of the current Oxid Studio (0.4.1) found that several features this post originally listed do not work as described: HSL adjustments and power windows, the live loudness meter, the audio mixer's EQ and dynamics, keyframe animation in the exported file, and subtitle styling. The Studio section below now lists what actually works. The Mail section was checked against 0.2.0.
Two new apps join the catalogue today: Oxid Studio, a video editor, and Oxid Mail, a multi-account mail client. Both are signed, notarized and stapled, so they open the way any Mac app should — no right-click-open dance, no "unidentified developer" panel.
Both are betas. Here is what that means in each case, stated up front rather than discovered later.
Oxid Studio
A multi-track editor that runs entirely on your machine. Colour wheels, RGB curves and .cube LUTs, rendered into the export; waveform, vectorscope, histogram and RGB parade scopes (they show the source clip, not the graded result); per-clip EQ, compression and limiting, and a loudness reading in LUFS for any clip; multi-cam with switch points; speed ramps; subtitle import, editing and burn-in; batch export.
What does not work yet: HSL adjustments make the export fail, power windows don't confine a grade to a region, there is no live loudness meter, the mixer's volume, pan, mute and solo affect playback but not the exported file, keyframe animation shows in the preview but comes out static in the export, and subtitle styling isn't carried into the burn-in.
FFmpeg is bundled — a version built for this app, LGPL, using VideoToolbox for H.264 — so the app works on a Mac that has never installed anything else.
Oxid Studio's interface is a Tauri web view over a Rust core, not a SwiftUI app.
What it did not do in 0.1.1: there were no AI features. The model-backed feature set was removed rather than shipped half-reachable. There were no upload destinations. Scrubbing was keyframe-aligned rather than frame-accurate. (Since 0.4, Studio can blur, replace or remove the background behind a person, computed on your Mac with Apple Vision.)
Oxid Studio is Apple Silicon only. The media engine underneath it is built for arm64, and shipping a universal binary wrapped around an arm64 engine would mean an app that launches on an Intel Mac and cannot import or export a thing. That is worse than not offering it.
Oxid Mail
Every mailbox in one place: a unified Inbox, Sent, Archive and Trash across all your accounts, with per-account colour coding, ordering and pause. Reading, starring, archiving and deleting are pushed back over IMAP and replayed after an outage. Send-as identities carry their own signatures, with guards against sending from the wrong account. Search runs on your Mac. So does the optional assistant, either with a built-in model you download or with your own Ollama — your mail is not uploaded.
What it does not do yet: there is no Gmail or Microsoft 365 sign-in. Accounts that use an app password or a plain IMAP password work today.
Both
No subscription. No account to create. No telemetry you did not ask for — neither app includes our telemetry library; they contact our server for licensing and updates. If a beta gets in your way, tell us — the reply comes from the person who wrote the code.
