What's new in Firefly
Every update, fix, and improvement — newest first.
Introducing Firefly Cloud!
New
- Firefly Cloud
- Cloud Upload & Sharing - Upload any game or clip to Firefly Cloud and instantly get a link to share it with your friends, duos, or coaches!
- Cloud as your primary storage - On selected paid plans you can use Firefly Cloud as your only storage saving valuable SSD space and allowing you to interact with your recordings straight from the Cloud as if they were locally on your disk.
- Subscription plans to fit everyone - Firefly Cloud comes with a free option so everyone gets something just by signing in! We also offer paid subscriptions for higher upload limits and features like hosting montages and the primary storage feature.
- Sign in with Apple - No new account or password to create. Just use the Apple ID you already have — Apple handles the login, not us, so we do not have access to or store any credentials.
- Not into cloud services? - We get it. Turn Firefly Cloud off entirely in Settings to hide the Cloud tab and keep enjoying Firefly exactly as you always have — no tab you'll never use.
- League Classic Support
- Initial support for League Classic implemented, games will record and can be uploaded to Firefly Cloud but not all features may be working yet.
Bugfix
- Fixed several UI glitches in list views and light mode.
Bugfix
Bugfix
- Firefly may behave unpredictably when the recordings and or clips folder selected is synced with iCloud Drive.
- This is not a supported configuration, this fix prevents users from selecting a folder snycing with iCloud Drive.
- If you're currently using an iCloud Drive backed folder we aren't forcing you to change it but we highly recommend taking some time to move it.
Bugfix + Minor Poster Features
Enhancements
- Posters
- Posters now have some additional configuration options to customize the experience for use cases such as YouTube thumbnails.
- Updated the context menu Show in Finder menu to include jumping straight to the recording OR poster to easily find either.
Bugfix
- When marking the result of a game that was previously unknown the poster wasn't updating to reflect the now known Victory or Defeat outcome, the posters now update after selecting a matchup outcome.
Matchup Browser and Chroma Fix
New
- Matchups Tab
- Dedicated matchup browser that lets you browse and analyze per lane matchups.
- Tracks win rate, CS/m, items and more about each matchup!
- Automatically rates matchup difficulty based on rolling stats to help identify what you personally struggle with.

Enhancements
- Notes
- Notes are now broken down into Matchup Notes and Game Notes.
- Added support for different fonts, sizes, and ordered lists.
- Added a button to pop out the notes for either, or both, to their own floating window to allow editing notes while also playing back a recording.
- Dashboard
- New Tough Matchups and reworked Struggling Against panel.
- Tough Matchups show matchups with negative win rates within the time range selected.
- Struggling VS is now more generic and shows champions you're losing against in general.
- Added an option to exclude support games from CS/m calculations for players who only play support occasionally or when filled.
Bugfix
- Fixed bug that caused Chroma's to render a champions base splash on the dashboard and in posters.
- Please submit bug reports if you find any Chroma's that still do not work.
- Fixed a transparency bug in light and dark modes.
Quality of Life
- Matchups that an outcome is not detected, usually caused by closing the game client before Firefly captures the result from the API, will now show a question mark in your recordings. Click the question mark to mark a game as a win or loss for more accurate matchup data.
What's New in v2.1.0
New

- Drag and drop segments to reorder them.
- Add Multiple Music Tracks to Montages

- Create as many tags as you'd like, color code them, see them at a glance, sort by them, etc.
- Every recording now includes a notes section where you can add and format notes about the matchup.

Quality of Life
- Fleshed out storage retention settings — auto-delete by age, space consumed, or both, with an Apply button to instantly trim your library.
