Take text out of the Markdown preview — with its formatting, in the colours of wherever you paste it.
Markdown files open in their own tab — text and live preview side by side.
Compare folders right in the two panes, see two files side by side and carry changes across block by block.
The licence check can no longer lock you out, and it asks far less often.
Drag & drop between the two panes works on Windows again — plus resizable columns and a few niceties.
~ (or ~/Documents) in the address bar to jump to your home folder.Quicker navigation, tidier favourites, and a Defender hint that stays quiet once handled.
Faster Windows backups, and the little things that make them just work.
D:) no longer lands you back on C:.Take your setup to another machine — and the real Windows icon.
Backups now check that source and target are actually there — before comparing.
A cleaner backup dialog and a mirror-delete fix.
.DS_Store you’d added to the junk list). A folder that is being deleted now clears such leftover excluded junk with it, so the cleanup completes — locally and over SFTP.One-click junk-exclude presets for backups.
.DS_Store, .Spotlight-V100, Thumbs.db, $RECYCLE.BIN …) to the exclude list — your current OS’s button comes first. They append without duplicates, so you can combine both for a cross-platform drive.A “New preset” button for backups, and the write-access check now covers copies too.
Backup smarts: an include mode for the folder tree, and a clear “no write access” check before a sync starts.
A tiny sync display fix.
A small backup fix: deletions to the recoverable trash never get skipped anymore.
… 2, … 3) instead of being skipped — so a file or bundle (for example a .utm package) with the same name already sitting in the trash no longer blocks the cleanup. Works locally and over SFTP.Two terminals per tab, drag a path into the terminal, multi-select delete, and dialogs that close on your terms.
A per-tab terminal (local & server), archive extraction, and copy-path — right where your files are.
.zip / .tar / .tar.gz to unpack it straight on the host — into a new folder, no download. Locally, double-click extracts via the system as before.A built-in SSH terminal — a real shell on the server you're already connected to.

First release — a dual-pane file manager built as the WinSCP replacement I actually wanted.
New mic tools — a feedback destroyer and a low-cut filter. MixDesk X keeps growing into the software system processor that replaces the 19″ rack: after the 31-band EQ, RTA, active crossovers and measured delay alignment, every microphone channel now has automatic feedback suppression and a rumble filter.
⬇ Download MixDesk X (macOS · Windows x64 · Windows ARM64)
Language offensive — 16 UI languages. Seven new interface languages join the console: Suomi, Svenska, Polski, Čeština, Dansk, Nederlands and Română — alongside English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português (BR), 日本語, 한국어 and 中文.
Active crossovers and measured delay alignment — MixDesk X now covers the two jobs you used to need a hardware speaker processor for: splitting the signal into sub/top (or full 3-way) ways across buses, and time-aligning any output by actually measuring it with a microphone. Even Bluetooth speakers.
Crossovers, measured delays, and CLAP effects side by side — Surge XT and Airwindows Consolidated running as bus inserts around the new X-OVER and ALIGN sections:
Also part of the recent updates: in-app updates on macOS and Windows (v1.42.026) and downloads served directly from adelvo.io with GitHub as full mirror and fallback (v1.42.027).
⬇ Download MixDesk X (macOS · Windows x64 · Windows ARM64)PFL & cue — a real headphone section. Every channel strip gets a PFL button, and a new orange CUE strip becomes your dedicated headphone output — exactly like the solo bus and phones section on a hardware console. Check any signal before it goes anywhere near the program mix.
Up to 16 output buses — the output section is no longer capped at 4. Dedicated mix-minus feeds for call guests, separate monitor sends, zone outputs: monitoring and program no longer compete for four slots.
See (and ride) the hidden macOS device volume — macOS keeps a separate volume for every output device, and it sits behind the bus fader. If your headphones were last used at 31%, every bus routed to them is quietly attenuated — and no mixer UI tells you why. Now MixDesk X does.
Save As & bulletproof preset loading — presets now survive missing and re-plugged devices, and managing multiple mixer setups is finally first-class.
Cmd/Ctrl+S (save) and Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+S (save as) — keep separate presets per show, studio or stream.Fix: distorted/quiet output on some USB DACs (macOS) — if one specific output device sounded quiet, distorted or triggered constant crackle warnings while being perfectly fine as a direct system output, this was for you.
Mic calibration files — the Auto-EQ now reads your measurement mic's calibration file (UMIK-1 / REW format), so the room measurement is corrected for the mic's own response.
.txt, .cal, .frd). Header and comment lines (*, ", ;, #, "Sens Factor") are skipped automatically; comma decimals are fine.The software DriveRack — MixDesk X now measures rooms and corrects them: 31-band terz EQ, a live spectrum analyzer behind the bands, and a one-click Auto-EQ.
MixDesk X — the free mixing console for macOS & Windows, and the successor to MDE — Mix Desk EQ. Route any input to up to 4 stereo output buses with EQ, per-bus delay, safety limiter, and CLAP effect chains.
v1.4 — wireless mic, dictation and iCloud for the Mac. Your iPhone becomes a wireless microphone and dictation remote for LLT Desktop, with everything syncing to iCloud and a built-in viewer for your saved transcripts.
v1.3 — Live outputs for streamers and gamers. Subtitles to OBS, VRChat and vMix straight from your iPhone or iPad, plus a fully customisable overlay applied live in the app and in OBS.
v1.42.206 — Updates from inside the app, and licence checks that never lock you out 🔑 · one click updates Directors Plan, and a problem on the licence server can no longer stop you working.
.deb belongs in your package manager, not in a binary swap.v1.42.204 — Thumbnails just work 🖼 · no more flashing console windows, the thumbnail address follows the vMix address automatically, and the settings page only shows what actually applies.
127.0.0.1 only, so Windows never asks for a firewall exception. The settings field still shows the familiar vMix IP; DP automatically uses the loopback address when fetching. Previously DP pointed at an address where nothing was listening: no thumbnails, “Test connection” failed — and it looked as if only the separate server would do..dplan file passed to it there, instead of opening a second app.config.yaml holds the license key and every setting. DP now writes a config.yaml.bak before each save — if anything goes wrong, the last working version is one step away.v1.42.202 — Stream Deck + / + XL and vMix categories 🎛 · your audio controls on real rotary knobs, and the vMix category tabs switchable from everywhere: per cue, from the timeline bar, the tablet and the Stream Deck.
The exported Stream Deck + XL layout in Companion: cue buttons with real input thumbnails, dial rows for vMix Call, Master and Bus A/B underneath.
v1.42.200 — Thumbnails & connection: it just works now 📸 · one click connects to vMix on this machine — and thumbnails follow automatically. Connection fixes right on the "not connected" screen, a built-in thumbnail server when DP runs on the vMix machine, and a guided download when it doesn't.
v1.42.194 — Web Controller · turn any tablet or browser on your local network into a live touch surface for the show. Generated from the open plan — no file export — and served live by the app: fire cues, trigger replays, switch overlays, ride audio groups.
The Web Controller in a tablet browser: cue buttons with thumbnails in timeline colors, pages for Cues, Replay, CTRL and OVL along the bottom.
v1.42.188 — GUI redesign · a full visual overhaul that makes the whole app look and feel like one piece — cleaner, flatter, calmer. Almost the same layout you know, now with one consistent design system behind it. Also the first Linux build — a .deb for the Debian / Ubuntu family (built and tested on Ubuntu 22.04+). Other distributions can be deployed on request with a license.
v1.42.186 — feature release · the new Controller (CTRL) — a live control surface for audio groups, real-time Master/Bus levels, streaming, recording and the vMix outputs, built and tuned on a running vMix.
SetVolume on all members at once. The set level is saved in the plan. Round volume knobs per group sit right next to CTRL in the timeline bar for quick access.SetVolumeFade) — music bed 1500 ms, mic group 0 ms. Deliberately a level on/off, not vMix "mute", because the API mute is unreliable on call inputs.v1.42.169 — feature release · build shows modularly. DP-Append merges several show modules into one running show — the same idea as vMix's bundle-append, now in Directors Plan.
⇧⌘O (Open without Shift, Append with Shift). The file picker takes .dplan and .yaml and remembers the last folder used.InputKey) — never number or title — so cues stay correctly matched after an append.v1.42.168 — feature release · the v1.42.167 Instant Replay workflow now ships into the Companion / Stream Deck export, so the same three-call replay sequence fires from a hardware button.
-5s / -10s / -20s, Cam 2 …). Each button fires the same three-call vMix sequence as the in-app REP panel — select cam → mark the last N seconds → play to output.v1.42.167 — feature release · trigger vMix Instant Replay with a single click straight from the Directors Plan timeline, while auto-playback keeps running.
-5s -10s -20s); a click fires the full vMix replay sequence in one shot: select cam → mark the last N seconds → send to program. Three sequential API calls, one click, no switching out of DP., . / fire the three preset times of the most-recently used cam, Esc stops replay playback. Cam selection by number keys is deliberately left out — 1–9 in DP are already bound to preview switching.v1.42.166 — maintenance release · one fix; auto-updates on next launch.
v1.42.164 — major update · full Video List support, vMix 29 update, CSV rundown export, generic HTTP command, and surgical auto-playback control.
Cut: Camera 1, Item 3 (03_football.mp4) → Stinger3 · List 1, HTTP POST https://hooks.example.com/show-start.AbortController (browsers ignore the timeout option.v1.3.042 — localization update · menu bar app UI fully translated to English; auto-updates on next launch.
ℹ️ MDE — Mix Desk EQ is retired — its successor is MixDesk X (free, macOS & Windows). MDE 1.3.042 is the final version, keeps working, and stays downloadable here.
⬇ Download MDE Apple Silicon v1.3.042 (final)Live release — professional audio routing for macOS. Apple Silicon and Intel builds available.
v1.7.3 — the licence check can no longer lock you out. A problem on the licence server used to be read as "invalid licence". It no longer is: if the server does not answer, LLT carries on with the last confirmed licence and simply tries again later. The check now runs once a day instead of on every start, a key that cannot possibly be valid is recognised before anything is sent, and a licence that the server explicitly reports as invalid or suspended still takes effect immediately. A leftover development shortcut in the licence check was removed.
v1.7.1 — the deactivation dialog, properly fixed. The confirmation is now attached to the Settings window as a sheet, so it can never open hidden behind other windows again. Installs itself in-app if you're on v1.7.0.
v1.7 — the first update that installs itself. Coming from v1.6.5 or earlier? Grab the DMG one last time — it's the final manual download.
v1.6.6 — LLT now updates itself. No more downloading DMGs by hand: when an update is available, one click installs it from inside the app.
v1.6.5 — setup without Homebrew, and Parakeet is back. The backend setup no longer installs anything system-wide, and a change introduced in one of the underlying speech libraries that could leave the Parakeet engine silent has been fixed. Still 100% local.
v1.6.4 — the backend now sets itself up, right inside the app. Fresh installs no longer need a separate Terminal script: LLT installs its local backend itself, in a proper setup window. Still 100% local. Auto-updates on next launch.
Install-Backend.command could be blocked by Gatekeeper when run straight from the disk image. The setup now lives inside the notarized app, so it just works.v1.6.3 — dramatically faster, more engines, more control. Performance was rebuilt from the ground up: recognition is noticeably snappier and the first sentence appears far sooner. Still 100% local. Auto-updates on next launch.
v1.4.0 — Dictation, iPhone microphone & more. Speak straight into any app, use your iPhone as a wireless mic to remote-start the Mac. Auto-updates on next launch.
v1.2.5 — subtitles now go to OBS and VRChat, plus the fully customizable overlay. Auto-updates on next launch.
v1.2.3 · overlay improvements and a fix; auto-updates on next launch.
v1.2.2 — maintenance release · one fix; auto-updates on next launch.
