SpendLessDaw 1.3.5 - Templates, customization and stability

SpendLess 1.3.5 adds a managed FL Studio template library, expands project customization, and improves sample safety and macOS stability.

Project templates

• Added a dedicated Templates section in Settings to manage multiple FL Studio templates.
• Import an existing FLP or create a new template, choose its name and icon, and edit it directly in FL Studio.
• Create projects from your templates through the project creation menu, while keeping the built-in Default template available.
• Preserve template source files when creating projects and move deleted templates to the system trash.

Project customization and interface

• Expanded the icon picker to the free Font Awesome catalog, with alphabetical ordering and search.
• Replaced positional icon and color indexes with stable keys while preserving compatibility with existing projects and templates.
• Added an optional icon contrast setting for improved readability on supported background colors.
• Simplified the project context menu and placed editing and duplication before update and folder actions.

Sample safety

• Fixed collisions between different samples sharing the same filename.
• Preserve distinct files with numbered suffixes such as _2 and _3, and update FL Studio references to the correct paths.
• Compare file contents before reusing an existing sample copy and preserve distinct sample paths through project archives.

macOS and desktop reliability

• Fixed transient duplicate SpendLess icons appearing in the macOS Dock during FL Studio window detection.
• Upgraded Electron from 41.2.1 to 44.4.1.
• Hardened universal macOS packaging for native SQLite and Intel/Apple Silicon media dependencies.
• Migrated the build toolchain to Bun and extended regression coverage for project and packaging workflows.

macOS installation note

This version requires macOS 13 or later and includes a universal build for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

SpendLess is not yet Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS Gatekeeper may block the first launch. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down, and allow SpendLess. Accessibility permission is also required so SpendLess can read the FL Studio window title and detect the active project.

Automatic installation is not available on macOS yet. SpendLess will notify you when an update is available and open the matching DMG download directly. Windows automatic updates remain available.
