Privacy Mode toggle promoted to the editor toolbar

AetherCut v1.7.57 shipped on Feb 2026 with 3 updates to the private, browser-based video editor. Everything here is already included in the latest version. AetherCut edits on your own device, so your footage never has to be uploaded to a server.

What's new in v1.7.57

• The Privacy Mode kill switch is no longer buried inside the About AetherCut dialog — a compact "Privacy Mode · X cloud calls" chip now lives directly in the editor's header toolbar, between Performance Mode and the Help button
• Both surfaces share the same usePrivacyMode hook so flipping one updates the other in real time. Tooltip on hover: "One-click kill switch for every cloud AI tool. Verifiable in DevTools."
• Pinned by regression so a future agent can't silently demote it back to the About dialog
