What's New in ByteWave

1.2.49

July 22, 2026

Someone cooked here: New caption text effects: Molten Glow, Electric, Wave, Frost, Cosmic, Black Hole Traverse, Warp Field. New filters: Golden Hour, Aurora Veil, Topo Contour, Apollonian Gasket, Paper Layers, Möbius Warp, Portal Tear, Drost Recursion, Gravity Well, and Julia Warp. Videos in the editor now play through by default; select a clip or turn on loop mode to repeat. Seek by frame forward and back plus restart video available when paused. Thanks to my brother Max. Dont ask for apple music permission on audio page unless apple music tapped and preview your videos in main editor with apple music songs. Fixed deallocation of the feed when using video editor and vice versa this will save about 200MB of ram. Your video's authenticity signature is now preserved through drafts and autosaves.

Best video editor of 2026!

It was so easy to make an awesome video. No hidden fees or paywall. And its great that no data gets sent to third parties so I can even edit videos of my young children!

This developer deserves the download!

This man is passionate about his app and keeping all of the wonky watermark, paywall, data exploitation out of the picture. There are no gimmicks, and that’s kind of the point. There shouldn’t have to be. I think that mindset deserves people who are trying to share their memories and edit their videos to gather behind ByteWave support today!
