Release notes

Every Mac Note Taker release, in plain English. We ship roughly every two weeks. Auto-update keeps you current, but if you like reading the patch notes first, this is the place.

v0.2.9.52

Updates that install themselves

  • Updates now download in the background and install the next time you quit and reopen the app, so you stay current without doing anything.
  • Fixed a bug where update checks could stop running permanently and never resume - some Macs had not checked for updates in weeks.
  • Recording a meeting no longer costs a whole day of update checks.
v0.2.9.51

Imported files count like recordings

  • Importing an audio file now uses one of your free meetings, the same as recording one, and follows the same rules as the rest of the app.
v0.2.9.50

A trial you measure in meetings, and a one-step purchase

  • The free trial is now 3 recorded meetings instead of 7 days - no clock running down while you wait for your next call.
  • The menu bar and main window show how many free meetings you have left.
  • Buying happens in the app: the price is shown, you enter your email, and checkout opens in your browser.
  • After payment, this Mac unlocks by itself - no activation code to copy from an email.
  • Fixed a typo in the founder-pricing label.
v0.2.9.49

Stability fix for long-running sessions

  • Fixed a bug where the app could gradually slow down and freeze at 100% CPU after running for several days.
  • Audio-device events are now processed only when something actually changes.
v0.2.9.48

Smarter meeting detection

  • The app now asks macOS directly which app is using your microphone - no more guessing.
  • Google Meet is detected in any browser window, including other Chrome profiles, incognito, and installed web apps.
  • The record suggestion appears about a second after your mic goes live and stays visible while the mic is on.
  • Slack or Discord being open no longer gets credited for a call happening elsewhere.
  • Fixed the clipped menubar suggestion icon.
v0.2.9.47

Recordings survive everything

  • Quitting the app, installing an update, or your Mac sleeping mid-meeting no longer loses the recording.
  • The app asks before quitting during a recording, pauses when your Mac sleeps, and resumes on wake.
  • If your Bluetooth headset disconnects or you switch mics mid-meeting, recording continues on the new device.
  • Pause now also pauses system audio, and the timer and saved duration are correct after resume.
  • Safer deletes, import and export improvements, and a license re-check when you come back online.
v0.2.9.45

Instant stop, no matter how long the meeting

  • Fixed the freeze when stopping long meetings - stopping is now instant regardless of meeting length.
  • Fixed a crash when stopping a recording while an earlier transcription was still running; transcriptions now queue with clear progress.
  • Recordings can no longer be lost: the meeting and its audio are saved the moment recording starts.
  • The menubar shows the same animated waveform as the app while recording.
v0.2.9.7

Performance: lighter AI animations

  • AI Assistant now shows live progress while it works on your meeting.
  • Faster, smoother UI while the assistant is running.
  • Bigger, easier-to-click buttons throughout the app.
  • General reliability and stability improvements.
v0.2.9.4

Better speaker labels in long meetings

  • Speaker labels stay consistent across hour-long calls.
  • New keyboard shortcut to rename a speaker everywhere at once.
  • Fixed a rare case where the last segment of a meeting was missing from the transcript.
v0.2.9.0

Meeting chapters and faster search

  • Meetings are automatically split into chapters you can click to jump to.
  • Search across every meeting is roughly 3x faster.
  • Action items now show the timestamp they came from.
v0.2.8.4

Smoother auto-updates

  • Auto-update is more reliable across macOS versions.
  • Cleaner update prompts that respect your focus modes.
  • Smaller download size for incremental updates.
v0.2.8.0

Calendar-aware speaker names

  • Reads the active calendar invite to suggest real names for Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.
  • Optional: import your meeting title into the recording automatically.
  • Fixed an issue where some Bluetooth mics were not detected on first launch.
v0.2.7.0

Export to JSON and SRT

  • Two new export formats for power users: structured JSON and subtitle SRT.
  • Markdown export now includes the meeting summary at the top.
  • Improved transcript accuracy for meetings with accented English.
v0.2.6.0

Voice profiles across meetings

  • The app now remembers a speaker's voice between meetings, so labels reapply automatically.
  • New onboarding walkthrough for first-time users.
  • Reduced memory usage during multi-hour recordings.
v0.2.5.0

Bring your own AI

  • Plug in your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint for summaries.
