The macOS 18 release adds audio passthrough and Watch Folders, expands YouTube downloads and compression controls, and improves AI media tools. The official history labels this release “Version 18”; the backend Homebrew version is 18.0.0.
- Video Converter: Adds passthrough for AC3, E-AC3, TrueHD, DTS and FLAC audio, and automatically converts new files with Watch Folders. The official macOS notes do not claim the Windows-only NVIDIA acceleration figure.
- Video Downloader: Downloads authorized private YouTube content and items from Watch Later and Liked lists; supports chapter-based splitting, M3U8 streams, auto-generated and multilingual subtitles, and improved subtitle downloads.
- Video Compressor: Adds size-ratio, target-size and quality controls; smarter compression preserves visual detail and supports subtitles and multiple audio tracks.
- AI Media Agent: Converts files through an AI chat workflow.
- AI Video Enhancer: Improves face detail and generative enhancement, with up to 15% faster generative quality enhancement and upscaling.
- Video Eraser: Adds precise removal of burned-in subtitles and improves batch watermark and moving-object removal.
- AI Video Blur: Improves face blur and object-tracking blur.
