Improved internal memory configuration (lower ! memory usage), fixed beta45 startup issue, fixed Set Save Directory & 2-panel mosaics.
May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
GPU support is not there yet, it is something we want to add, but it's not the highest on the list at the moment. We do know this would be very nice to have though, when 2.0 stable is out I will discuss the future road with Mabula and this will definitely be checked.
IMHO this is a very important request, already known for a lot of time!
The difference when using CUDA is astonishing!
I hope to see this implemented so APP will really be fast.

I would love to see this feature added as well. The speed improvement when using GPU processing for other applications has such a positive impact on workflows and experience.Â
To put this into perspective, I just enabled CUDA processing in Pixinsight with BlurXterminator ans StarXterminator, on my 6-panel Mosaic of the Crescent nebula and surround area, my 286mpx image, just running StarXterminator with a 32 Core CPU and 512GB RAM it would take 45 minutes to remove the stars.
The test I have just done with a single GPU CUDA processing took 2m28s to complete the same action
