Community profiles gallery

Share complete gauge profiles with the GaugeReel community — publish your own setup straight from the app, then browse, filter and download anyone else’s to build from. Plus one-tap Google sign-in.

Added
  • Community profiles gallery on the web — browse gauge profiles shared by other creators, filtered by activity and sorted by newest or most popular, each with a live preview thumbnail and download count.
  • Publish a profile from the app — share a complete gauge layout to the gallery in one step, with an auto-captured preview image so others can see the overlay before they download it.
  • Download any shared profile as a portable .overlayprofile.json and import it into GaugeReel to start from someone else’s setup.
  • Sign in with Google — one-tap Google sign-in alongside email, both in the app and on the website.
v0.4.1

Heart-rate & power zone gauges

A new family of training-zone gauges for heart rate and power, much faster ProRes 4444 export on Apple silicon, and a tidier two-column layout for the Project and Export tabs.

Added
  • Heart-rate and power zone gauges (Basic) — a dedicated zone family in four styles, from minimal to rich: Zone Pills, Zone Meter, Zone Arc and Zone Dashboard. Set your own zone boundaries, colours and labels; the active zone drives every highlight so the live zone always stands out.
Improved
  • ProRes 4444 .mov export now uses Apple’s media engine (VideoToolbox) on macOS for roughly 5× faster GPU encoding, with a new Precision control (16-bit or 8-bit) and true straight alpha so semi-transparent overlays keep their real colour. Falls back to the software encoder elsewhere.
  • Two-column Project and Export tabs — related controls now share rows for a tighter layout, and smoothing plus interpolation are merged into a single Sampling control (Nearest / Linear / Smoothed).
Fixed
  • Tape gauge labels stay legible — tick spacing widens so numbers no longer collide, and the centred readout shrinks to fit so values like “0.9 km/h” don’t clip.
v0.4.0

DaVinci Resolve export & showcase instruments

Send a finished overlay straight onto your DaVinci Resolve timeline, design with a new set of faithful showcase instruments, follow the road ahead in a 3D chase-cam route view, and frame map gauges as a circle or rectangle.

Added
  • Send to DaVinci Resolve (Premium) — push the finished overlay onto your open Resolve timeline as ProRes 4444 clips with a real alpha channel, each gauge on its own track or as one combined layer, appended above your footage without overwriting it. Works on free and Studio Resolve via a one-time bridge install — no Python, no network.
  • Showcase instruments — a set of faithful, self-contained gauge styles: a sport speed dial, power ring, heading compass, g-force plot, artificial horizon and live signal trace.
  • 3D chase-cam route gauge — an angled, heading-up view of the road ahead that recedes toward the horizon like an in-car navigation view. Fully offline, no map tiles.
  • Frame shapes for route and map gauges — render them as a circle, rounded rectangle or sharp rectangle.
Improved
  • Selection bounds now hug each gauge’s actual artwork instead of its padded box, so edge and gauge-to-gauge alignment snaps to what you can really see.
v0.3.0

Per-gauge animation timeline

Animate any gauge over time with a premium keyframe timeline, browse a live animated gauge gallery, and size value markers exactly how you want — plus sharper, better-fitting gauge readouts.

Added
  • Premium per-gauge animation timeline — keyframe a gauge’s properties over time for intros, reveals and emphasis, with timing presets in absolute seconds.
  • Animated gauge gallery in the library — preview every gauge live, cycling through styles, before you add it.
  • Adjustable marker size on value-in-range gauges, so the indicator reads clearly at any scale.
Improved
  • Resizable timeline editor — drag its height to give animation work more room.
Fixed
  • Gauge readout text now fits its box instead of overflowing when heavily styled.
  • Tape-gauge tick labels match the configured step precision.
v0.2.3

Multi-select editing & web sign-in

Arrange several gauges at once with snap-to-align, sign in and manage your plan from the website, and compare GaugeReel head-to-head on the Plans page.

Added
  • Multi-select on the stage — shift/⌘-click to grab several gauges, then move and resize them as a group.
  • Alignment snap guides while dragging: gauges snap to the canvas centre, edges, and to each other.
  • In-app performance comparison on the Plans page — render time and memory vs the leading alternative.
Improved
  • Sign in and manage your subscription from the GaugeReel website in a browser, not just the desktop app.
v0.2.1

Accounts, plans & GPU export

GaugeReel gets its name, a three-tier plan system with offline licensing, and GPU hardware encoding for everyone.

Added
  • Rebrand to GaugeReel, with a Plans page and Basic-tier route gauges.
  • Three-tier subscriptions (Free / Basic / Premium), accounts, and offline Ed25519 licensing.
Improved
  • GPU hardware encode is now enabled on every tier.
Fixed
  • Correct video duration and NTSC frame-rate handling on export.
  • Allow the localhost dev origin so account creation works in development.
v0.2.0

Fast export pipeline & gauge library

A parallel GPU/worker export pipeline, a personal gauge library, geocoded place lookups, and a headless render CLI.

Added
  • GPU / worker-pool export pipeline for dramatically faster renders.
  • Personal gauge library — save, import and reuse your own gauges.
  • Geocoded places and a headless command-line renderer for automation.
Improved
  • Foundations for billing, accounts and licensing.
v0.1.0

First release

The initial sports telemetry/data overlay desktop app: real telemetry parsing, the gauge engine, activity profiles and transparent export.

Added
  • Rust telemetry core parsing GPX, Garmin FIT and GoPro/DJI GPMF-in-MP4.
  • Canvas 2D gauge rendering engine shared by preview and export.
  • Runner, Walker, Cyclist and Car/Moto activity profiles.
  • OpenStreetMap / CARTO map tiles with offline disk caching, plus vector mode.
  • Transparent overlay export as a PNG image sequence with alpha.
