## What is The Cut?

The Cut is the fastest way for DJs and music A&Rs to get through their promo inbox.

Connect an iCloud Drive folder, your SoundCloud account, Dropbox, or an email inbox and start reviewing. Swipe right to accept a track, swipe left to reject it. The Cut remembers every decision and syncs them across all your devices via iCloud.

Review Your Inbox, Fast
Stop losing track of what you've listened to. Every new file lands in your Inbox. Once reviewed, tracks move to Accepted or Rejected — your library stays organised without any manual filing.

Email Sources
Get promos the moment they hit your inbox. Connect any email account over IMAP and The Cut pulls in audio attachments and SoundCloud links automatically, ready to audition alongside the rest of your library.

SoundCloud Integration
Stream tracks directly from your SoundCloud feed. Add or remove tracks from playlists without leaving the app.

Dropbox Integration
Review tracks stored in your Dropbox. Files are cached locally for smooth playback. Move or delete tracks directly from the app — your Dropbox stays in sync.

Never Review the Same Track Twice
Pulling from several sources? The Cut recognises when the same track shows up in more than one place and merges it into a single entry — review it once, and your decision applies across every source it came from.

Apple Watch Companion
Take your inbox on the go. Browse, rate, add notes, and control playback from your wrist. Smart Stack widgets and complications surface your latest track instantly.

Filter Down to the Right Tracks
Filter any list by source, genre, BPM, musical key, star rating, and date added. Stack filters to zero in on exactly what you're looking for.

Rich Metadata at a Glance
The Cut reads ID3 and MP4 tags so you can see title, artist, BPM, musical key, genre, and album artwork before you even hit play. Star ratings are visible right in the track list. Make smarter decisions faster.

Add Notes to Tracks
Jot down thoughts on any track — who sent it, what stood out, or where you want to play it.

Automate Your Workflow
Configure actions that fire the moment you make a decision. Move accepted tracks to a folder automatically. Delete rejected files from your drive without lifting a finger. Build the workflow that fits how you work.

See Your Reviewing at a Glance
A Statistics dashboard shows how you review — accepts, rejects, and what's still pending, broken down by source and over time. Spot your habits, track your progress, and share a summary card in a tap.

A Proper Audio Player
Full playback controls, a waveform you can scrub to jump straight to the drop, AirPlay output, shuffle, repeat, and lock screen integration so you can keep reviewing without unlocking your phone. Tracks start instantly thanks to smart pre-loading, and you can share any track in a tap.

Syncs Everywhere
Your library, decisions, and ratings sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch via iCloud — start reviewing on your phone, continue on your Mac.

Supported formats: MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-07-11

What's new in v1.6:

Statistics
See how you review. A new Statistics dashboard breaks down your accepts, rejects, and pending tracks — by source and over time — so you can spot your habits and how your inbox really flows. Share a clean summary card in a tap.

Restore Deleted Tracks
Changed your mind about a track you cleared out? Deleted tracks now live in their own list, ready to bring back whenever you want. Nothing's gone for good.

Add Every Source, Free
Connect as many folders, feeds, and inboxes as you review from — adding and browsing sources is now free for everyone. Playback across multiple sources stays a Pro perk.

Smarter Skip Intro
Skip Intro now only kicks in when there's real track left to hear, so short edits and IDs play through instead of jumping to the end.

Plus a faster first sync when you open the app on a new device, a sync indicator so you can watch iCloud catch up, tap anywhere on the mini player to jump back into Now Playing, hold rewind or forward on Apple Watch to scrub, sharper duplicate detection, smoother bulk accept and reject, and a long list of bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.5 — 2026-06-17

What's new in v1.5:

Duplicate Detection
The same promo often turns up in more than one place — a SoundCloud link in your email and the same track in your feed. The Cut now spots duplicates across all your sources and merges them into a single entry, so you review each track just once. Accept or reject it and the decision applies everywhere. Got a false match? Separate it back out in a tap.

Faster Playback
Tracks now start the instant you hit play. The Cut quietly pre-loads your next track while you're listening to the current one, so there's no waiting between cuts — whatever source they come from.

Plus your SoundCloud, Dropbox, and email sources stay connected more reliably, snappier swiping, smoother playback on Dropbox and iCloud Drive, and a long list of bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-08

What's new in v1.4:

Email Sources
Connect an email inbox and The Cut pulls in promos for you. Audio attachments and SoundCloud links from your mail land straight in your library, ready to audition. Works with any IMAP provider using an app password, and Full Re-sync re-scans your inbox whenever you change what to import.

Filters
Filter any list by source, genre, BPM, key, star rating, and date added. Stack them to zero in on exactly the tracks you're after.

Waveform Scrubber
See the shape of every track and scrub straight to the drop.

AirPlay
Send playback to AirPlay devices without leaving Now Playing.

Share Tracks
Share any track in a tap, with a link back to the original.

Inbox Badge
An optional app-icon badge keeps your unreviewed count one glance away.

Plus playback failures are now surfaced instead of failing silently, big reliability gains for SoundCloud and Dropbox playback, lower battery use, and periodic background refresh so your library is current before you open the app — along with a long list of fixes.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-02

What's new in v1.3:

APPLE WATCH APP
The Cut is now on Apple Watch. Browse your inbox, queue, accepted, and rejected lists from your wrist. Rate tracks, add notes, control playback, and jump back to the drop with skip-intro shortcuts. Smart Stack widgets and complications keep your latest track one glance away.

PULL TO REFRESH
Pull down on any track list to scan your sources for new files, with per-source progress as it runs.

SKIP INTRO
Set a default intro skip so you land closer to the drop on every track. Decide faster.

AUTO-CLEANUP REJECTED TRACKS
Have rejected files removed automatically after a delay you choose — keep your library tidy without manual housekeeping.

NOW PLAYING SOURCE DETAILS
See which source a track came from right inside Now Playing.

NEW SOUNDCLOUD PLAYLISTS
Create a new SoundCloud playlist directly from the playlist picker.

Plus smoother iCloud Drive handoff between devices, faster scanning when you reconnect a source, and a long list of stability and playback fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-03-24

What's new in v1.2:

DROPBOX INTEGRATION
Connect your Dropbox account as a source. Browse folders, stream tracks, and manage files with move and delete actions — all from The Cut.

SHAKE TO UNDO
Changed your mind? Shake your device or press Cmd+Z to instantly undo an accept or reject decision — your actions are reversed automatically.

EXPORT TO CSV
Export your track library to CSV with customizable field selection. Perfect for sharing lists or keeping records outside the app.

SOUNDCLOUD LENGTH FILTER
Filter out long tracks (over 20 minutes) from SoundCloud feeds so you can focus on the tracks that matter.

Plus bug fixes and performance improvements.
