Release history

What's new in Sentry Recovery

Every Sentry Recovery release, with what changed and when. Newest first. The in-app update notification links here.

v1.6.1
  • AI camera labelling picks up where it left off. Reopen an interrupted project and the camera-angle classifier resumes in the background with a flashing indicator. Stats refresh live as labels are written.
  • Live counters during long scans. The processing screen now updates Clips Found while carving and Clips Analyzed while thumbnailing — no more flatlined zeros.
  • Universal macOS build. Bundled FFmpeg is now a fat binary with Apple Silicon and Intel slices, so Apple Silicon Macs no longer see the "Support Ending for Intel-Based Apps" warning and never need Rosetta.
v1.6.0
  • Simplified Chinese (简体中文). The app, activation emails, and the website all now speak Chinese. The app auto-detects your system language at first launch and you can switch between English and 简体中文 anytime from About → Language.
  • Bug fixes and improvements.
v1.5.1
  • Windows AI classifier now works. The camera-angle identification that shipped in v1.5 was quietly skipping every clip on Windows. Scans on Windows machines now label orphan clips the same way they do on Mac.
  • Older projects pick up the labels automatically. Open a project scanned before this release and Sentry Recovery fills in the camera angles in the background — a small progress bar shows how many clips it's getting through.
  • Pick just the TESLADRIVE partition on Tesla USBs. If your drive has the original Tesla layout, the direct-USB scan dialog lets you scan only the 64 GB TESLADRIVE partition and skip the much bigger Music partition. Faster scans, same coverage.
  • Bug fixes and improvements.
v1.5.0
  • AI recognises the camera angle on every recovered clip. When a clip's original filename has been overwritten on the drive, Sentry Recovery now looks at the clip itself and identifies which camera on the car recorded it — front, back, left pillar, right pillar, left repeater, right repeater. The correct Tesla-style filename goes back on the file, the clip drops into the right folder, and a small AI badge on the preview shows which labels came from the model versus which ones came from the drive directly.
  • Smarter cross-checking. Inside each minute of a Sentry event, the app now knows there can only ever be one clip per camera. So when it's pretty sure about five of the six cameras and unsure about the last one, it uses process of elimination on the sixth — no two clips end up with the same filename, no clip gets misfiled.
  • Bug fixes and improvements.
v1.4.7
  • Your Tesla clips, with their original filenames. Sentry Recovery now reconstructs real Tesla filenames — date, time, and camera angle — for every clip whose directory entry still survives on the drive, including events recorded in non-UTC timezones. Recovered clips drop straight into a Tesla dashcam viewer with full context.
  • Know exactly what the scan found. A new Recovery Summary button shows how many clips were carved, how many got real filenames attached, and how many have been overwritten by later Tesla recordings — no more guessing. Plus Select All (or Cmd/Ctrl+A) in the clips grid for one-click bulk recovery.
  • Bug fixes and improvements.
v1.4.1
  • Bug fixes and improvements.
v1.4.0
  • Your clips, the way Tesla wrote them. Recovered footage now comes back inside its original folder structure — every Sentry event in its own folder, all six camera angles grouped together, original Tesla filenames intact when we can find them. Drop the recovered folder straight into a Tesla dashcam viewer and everything just works.
  • Sentry event context preserved. When Tesla's events.json files are recoverable on the drive, they come back alongside your clips so the reason, camera direction, and timestamp for each Sentry event are still there.
  • Bug fixes and improvements.
