What's done

A free 15-day Pro trial, a calmer flat look and a shelf that feels like the Mac.

• Try Pro free for 15 days: no card, nothing charged.
• A flat, solid look: no glass or shadows, except the window buttons.
• A shelf that feels like the Mac: shake, drop, then Send to Mise.
• Ask AI, tidier: History by day and a calmer new chat.
• Backup at a glance: a cloud beside the library pill.
• Videos and design files: more formats come in with their picture.
• Faster: fewer missed frames, a live colour filter, snappier motion.
• The right icon on macOS 26: whole in the Dock, no grey tile.

Calmer greys, a tidier sidebar and a dark mode that holds together.

• A dark mode that holds together: the window sits a shade lighter than its cards, and hover, press, typing and the picked row each step lighter so every one shows.
• A tidier sidebar: 200 wide, its first row on the library's top line, the library pill on its bottom line, rows 8 from the edges.
• Softer greys in light mode: the window and a picked row are each a step deeper.
• New icons: All is a ring of dots, close is a solid circle, and line icons share one 1.33 weight with round ends.
• Even segmented controls: every part one width, the chosen pill the same in every state.
• Merge lives in Settings: Merge into this library moved from the library menu to Settings › Library.

A full screen that keeps its bar, and glass to the corners.

• Full screen keeps its bar: search, sort, layout and filter stay in view, the window buttons stay top left, and the page slides down when the menu bar comes.
• Glass window buttons: close, minimise and zoom wear Apple's new glass, and the toolbar's glass is a touch darker in dark mode.
• Filled icons: every icon is filled, a quiet grey at rest and black when it's picked.
• Filter in two columns: a colour ring with its code beside Type and Date, and menus are solid cards.
• Let go of a pick: a picked card's circle lets it go again, and ⌘-click on a picked card clears it fully.
• Double click does one thing: a double click on a toolbar button no longer zooms the window.

Glass, motion and a faster start.

• Real glass: menus, toasts, the search bar and buttons float on Apple's glass on macOS 26 and later.
• GIFs and videos play by themselves: in the library and the item panel, with a switch in Settings.
• Opens sooner: the window appears in one piece, and Restore and Merge bring pictures in 3 to 5 times faster.
• Pick a tag as you type: type # in the search bar, or type a board's name when you move a picture.
• Calmer menus: more air, a blue check on the chosen row, and Delete acts on the open menu, never the picture under it.
• Dialogs answer every click on macOS 27: Got it, Turn on backup and Delete tag.

Search now sees what's in your pictures.

• Find pictures by what's in them: type dog, beach or food, even for pictures with no words.
• More like this: right-click a picture to see the saves that look like it.
• Faster with big libraries: no pause after a change, and words in pictures are read right after you save.
• Search forgives typos: the best match comes first, and a slip still finds it.
• Ask AI searches the same way: it finds saves by what they show and by words close in meaning.
• Comments look like Messages: blue bubbles, grouped by time, with a preview for a link.

Every menu in Mise now follows one recipe, fields answer a click by filling rather than drawing an outline, and the Pro and What's New screens have been rebuilt.

• Every dropdown is the same card: taller rows, more air under a heading, a wider minimum, and a shadow that actually lifts the card off the page. Sort, the library menu and the small plus menu no longer keep private rules of their own.
• Choices in a menu are rows with a tick: the Responsive / Fixed switch and the Filter's Content type and Date are plain rows now, so nothing wraps onto a ragged second line.
• Submenus behave: they sit against the parent's edge instead of covering it, and only the row you came from stays lit.
• Delete stays red and Upgrade stays blue when you hover them, instead of both turning grey with a black icon.
• Fields fill instead of ringing: a field darkens under the pointer and darkens again while you type. The focus colour lost a faint blue tint it had everywhere, Settings included.
• The search bar holds its edge on hover and while you type, instead of filling with the exact colour of the window behind it.
• A link's preview in the item panel is wide, never tall: the picture fills a wide box that follows the panel width, and the LINK badge sits in its corner.
• Tidier cards: the kind badge and the select circle sit level, the select circle no longer shows the picture through it, and the hover preview button is smaller.
• The item panel ends on a clean edge: its bottom bar is part of the white card and carries the same rounded corners as the top.
• The Pro screen is one card, not three stacked colour bands, with a solid Buy button and a grey Activate.
• What's New lists every release, newest first, in one left-aligned column you can scroll.
• Support opens the website, at usemise.net/support, instead of a blank mail message.
• New prices. One year of updates is now $24 and covers one Mac. Lifetime updates is $49 and covers two. An extra Mac is $9 on either plan, up to six, bought one at a time. Renewing a lapsed year is $19. If you already bought, nothing changes for you.
• The app is lighter. The icon artwork was squeezed without changing a single pixel, taking about 1.5 MB off the download.

Mise opens already drawn, the shake shelf is real glass that only answers a real drag, and your app icon follows you between Mise and Mise Beta.

• Boards wear ten set colours from one palette, and the board menu is just Rename, Icon and Delete.
• Sliders fill solid blue and tick as you move them; Tiles and Volume are the same bar.
• Every empty screen looks the same: a pale picture, a title and one line, chat included.
• The Filter and Layout popovers are tidier: three cards for Filter, a two-part Fit switch for Layout.
• Opening a picture is quieter: softer dots, a hairline frame, and a clean page when a file is missing.
• Text fields glow instead of ringing when you click into them.
• The membership card is redrawn: the crown pressed into the steel, a black arrow, no clutter.
• Mise opens already drawn: the window waits until there is something to show, and launch chores run after you can scroll, not before.
• The shake shelf is frosted glass that follows your Mac's Light or Dark, opens only for a real file or link drag, and keeps drops until you press Send to Mise.
• A firmer shake: a Figma nudge or a small jiggle no longer summons the shelf. Low is the new default; High is still there.
• One app icon for Mise and Mise Beta: pick it once and both wear it.
• Your last screen is back the instant Mise opens, and the full library slides in behind it.
• Menus, tooltips, sizes and motion now come from one design system: one card style for every menu and flyout, two control heights, three motion speeds, one-word tips only where they help, and a hover that glides to the nearest row.

Cleaner type, a proper installer, and a quieter preview.

• Mise now reads in SF Pro, the Mac's own type.
• The installer window is back.
• The expand corner on a card no longer pops a tooltip.
• Settings → Account has two new cards.

Three things that were getting in the way.
