Welcome to the Release notes for the Voxity PWA! Please note, that these are not exhaustive, and only covering major/some minor updates. In other words, I may update the app minorly without updating this document.

All previous builds are kept archived. If you want the URL of a specific date, let me know!

2026

February

• Accent color is now remembered in settings

v86a

• Refreshed the 404 page

16th (v86)

• Returned Musixmatch lyrics, alongside LRCLIB (you can pick in Settings)
• Improved the styles in Settings, they now cooperate with the theme and generally look better
• Added a SPA router, so opening various modals will update the URL

14th (v85a)

• Small changes to the font awesome loader and settings modal
• Removed Twemoji

13th (v85)

• Added a new slider to settings: title rotation speed
• Added a new boolean to settings: show static song title
• Refreshed the settings modal
• New function: modal_title_up, same as stat_up, but for the title of the first (if any) open modal

6th (v84c)

• Fixed a bizarre issue where HTML tags would leak into the metadata, hopefully
• Fixed the textbox in the Search lyrics modal being slightly too wide
• Notifications are now delivered silently (because Windows 11 notifications are stupid)
• Instead of not showing any of the broken songs when loading if over 10, they are now in a dropdown
• Other small adjustments

5th (v84b)

• Strengthened the error box if JS is disabled / main.js is blocked (and probably overengineering it)
• Added CTRL + F to the list of hotkeys (I forgot)

2nd (v84a)

Switched default font from Inter to Google Sans Flex (the Inter files remain, this may revert, just testing it out)

January

26th (v84)

New queue searching function: middle-click the queue header or press CTRL+F to enter it (or the button)

21st (v83a)

• Voxity now waits 100 milliseconds between loading tracks, rudimental performance tweak (you can change this by changing the durationLoadDelay value; might integrate to settings)
• Removed "Search " and "Paste " from the two lyrics-related buttons; the icons are kinda self-explanatory, plus the title text

17th (v83)

• Secondary (right for most) clicking the queue header now scrolls the current track into view (for huge queues)
• More changes to the visualizer engine: removed the fake "none" option (so none is truly none), more high resolution, spectrum is default again, circular is centered and more spiky

15th (v82) - Voxity has moved to its own domain!

• From now on, Voxity is hosted at voxity.dev. The old voxity.exerinity.com now redirects to the new domain.
• Added a sleep timer function, press the moon next to the trash can
• You can now see time remaining of a track by clicking the duration label in the scrubber (toggles)
• Tamed the "mobile not recommended" message (im sorry to dilute the fun)

14th (v81d)

• Refreshed the system notifications layout
• There is now an Electron build of Voxity available on GitHub. There is nothing special about it - however the Discord RPC app Music Presence works with it!

13th (v81c)

Refreshed icons and added install button

v81b

Attempting to prompt the browser to install the PWA instead of a "learn how" in the about modal

9th (v81a)

The status now shows "X% done" when scrubbing

8th (v81)

• There are new sliders in the settings modal to set the amount of lyrics shown and visualizer FPS
• The status updates have been changed to show bold text in most of the messages
• In regards to the art viewer update in v80a, the image is now opened in a blob, which should work better
• Culled some themes:

  • Grey
  • Very high contrast
  • Khaki
  • Neon green
  • Twitter dim
• Renamed theme "Under the sea" to "Green", completing the RGB family (lmfao)
• You can now right-click the app. I have no idea why I put this limitation, but it might make way for something soon....

4th (v80b)

• Rewritten the visualizer engine (that has been the same since v1) to (hopefully) be more lightweight and use less CPU
• Unsupported files are now properly handled and reported back to you instead of breaking the player - the process is, if a duration cannot be loaded, it is not a supported audio file and thus will not add

2nd (v80a)

• Added a small catch to the release notes and the how to install pages where if the page is opened in standalone, a "back to Voxity" gets added to the top
• The amount of lyrics actively shown can now be modified by changing the "lrc_amount" variable in the console (proper modifier soon)
• Added a rudimentary method of fixing "window.open" on the cover art viewer not working on Chromium with a new page which basically does the same thing (this might not work, very possibly a 414 error and may even upset the Service Worker)

1st (v80)

• Added a way to reorder the queue via dragging items within it
• If the song changes while the lyrics search is still ongoing, the request is aborted

2025

December

27th (v79d)

Small adjustments to try and boost Lighthouse score lolz

25th (v79c)

• Voxity now triggers the "Unsaved changes will be lost" dialogue if something is playing and the app isn't installed as a PWA
• Waveform is again the default visualizer mode and Lights out is the default theme

24th (v79b)

The file "app.js" has been changed to "pwa.js"

21st (v79a)

• If you disable tab title rotation in settings, the title is now a static "Title by Artist / Voxity" instead of just "Voxity"
• Small changes to texts in some places

17th (v79)

A new diagnostic function has been added which attempts to manually load Font Awesome. Because, on my iPhone and old iMac, icons would not load locally, but they would externally, so, it loads from Cloudflare.
It can be found in the about box (by pressing Voxity on the left/right of the screen), the settings box, and the welcome box if you haven't already visited (or deleted the "hai" object locally)

12th (v78a)

Brought the release notes and "how to install PWA" document local

v78

• The Theme button has been changed to Settings
• New settings:

1. Enable sound effects
2. Enable title rotation
3. Load lyrics automatically
4. System song notifications (read below)

• Added optional system notifications that send when a(nother) song begins
• A bug that spawned from v76 has been fixed where if you drag-and-dropped multiple files (not a full folder), only one file would get added
• A bug where if you drag-and-drop an entire folder, things like subtitle files and images get added to the queue
• If the file does not have full metadata, lyrics are now no longer automatically queried
• You can now press Escape to close an open modal

7th (v77)

• Completely overhauled the hotkeys engine to be more correct and precise
• New hotkey: while holding ALT, arrow keys / A/D / J/L, it scrubs ±30 seconds
• Fixed the Media Session controls not responding to pause/play

6th (v76)

• Drag and drop is now supported with folders, throw your whole music folder at it and press H (Shuffle)

3rd (v75)

• New cursor rules:
  -- When hovering over a slider, the cursor has changed from ew-resize to grab
  --- When grabbing a slider, the cursor changes to grabbing
  -- Cover art from pointer to zoom-in
  -- Metadata from pointer to copy
  -- The queue header and visualizer canvas now shows pointer
• Hyperlinks are now underlined
• All scripts are now deferred (which means it should load a bit faster)
• You can no longer right-click inside the app (but you can still right click the status bar)
• Titles for things like labels and buttons have been refreshed
  This is mostly just a QoL update, nothing new

November

30th (v74)

• New theme: Neon purple
• Fixed a bug where if a song was marked as instrumental, and the Search lyrics modal is used, lyrics did not show upon insertion

28th (v73)

• New theme: Very high contrast

18th (v72.5)

• Reverted Musixmatch back to LRCLIB. My server got banned, and the lyrics were horrible. Does this count as an actual version? Ah, who gives a shit, my left shoe.

17th (v72)

• Moved queue header out of the queue container, so it looks better
• High contrast is now the default theme reverted

16th (v71)

  This is very experimental and will likely not remain

14th (v70.5)

• Status bar now shows "loading X of Z"

v70

• When loading multiple songs they are now loaded one at a time to prevent freezing
• New index.html source code comment

11th (v69)

• The "Clear queue" button now actually clears the queue instead of refreshing the page

• Cleaned up old unused code

5th (v68)

• Metadata in the queue is now truncated

October

31st (v66)

• Added new theme: Neon blue
• Small tweak to lyrics, if previously it was marked as instrumental, lyrics would be switched off. From here, if you paste lyrics, that is overridden and lyrics are re-enabled. (previously, nothing would happen)

29th (v65)

• When a song is an instrumental, the lyrics will no longer be updated while playing (performance improvement)
• The spinner for loading lyrics shows longer

26th (v64)

• Fixed the lyrics modal getting stuck, hopefully
• Changed location of sound effects from /sound.ogg to /app/media/sound.ogg

• Fixed a bug where the modal for precise input on sliders would not update the sliders
• Amplified the "scrolling tab title" to stop when the audio is paused or finished and generally just strengthening it

• With that, the modal module now has an API to edit the content of an existing modal

17th (v61)

• Added queue shuffling

• Long text is no longer a "marquee", it now scrolls dynamically and reverses at the end

15th (v60)

• Blank lines are now shown in lyrics (for things like beat drops or riffs or whatever)

13th (v59)

Renaming from Audion to Voxity... why?

• "Audion" is two other music-related things: an old music player created by Panic, you know, the guys who made Playdate; and also, a French music advertisement platform (https://www.audion.fm)
• "Audion" sounds bland and runs counter to my usual creative naming conventions

"Voxity" is derived from the Latin word "vox", noun, feminine, meaning voice, sound, or utterance, and also the last three letters of my username (exerinity)

12th (v58)

• Added new hotkeys: Shift + numerical keys (0 to 9) jump to in the middle of the corresponding number, for example, Shift + 4 jumps to 35%
• Added new themes: "light" (), "khaki", "hacker", "synthwave"
• Made the Service Worker more rigid; if you are blocking it, it properly informs you and prevents anything from failing
• Plugged my socials into the welcome and about message
• Added more intelligent text truncation that bases off your screen size

11th (v57)

• Added new hotkeys: Z to go to previous track / restart current and X to go to next track
• Fixed Font Awesome not being cached by the Service Worker, resulting in no icons when offline

10th (v56)

• The "Paste lyrics" button now has the current lyrics (if any) prefilled to the text box

9th (v55)

• The maximum speed has changed from 2x to 14x but ultimately depends on what browser you are using (Firefox goes silent at around 9x)

• There is a new "up to date" variable which is shown in the about message
• Added new hotkeys: CTRL + Arrow (Left/Right) seeks 5 seconds
• Added a preemptive warn message if main.js fails:

• Added theme switcher alongside these three themes: light, grey, dim and lights-out

• If nothing is playing, most buttons are now disabled until something plays

• Made it so hotkeys cannot be used while a text box is focused to prevent inteference

21st (v32)

• Amplified the tab title scroller: instead of being static, it now adapts; if you're playing a single (where the title and album are the same name), Audion ignores the album name. For example, "Animals" -> "Martin Garrix" -> "Animals" -> "Audion" is now "Animals" -> "Martin Garrix" -> "Audion"
