Release Date: April 3rd, 2026

New

• Settings have been moved into a clean overlay modal, making it faster to access and navigate without leaving your current context.

• You can now assign multiple keyboard shortcuts and individually toggle AI enhancement for hands-free and regular transcription modes.

• A dedicated keyboard shortcut is now available to instantly start a meeting notes recording.

• A new setting lets you skip saving the voice log after transcription if you prefer not to keep the audio recording.

• The app now shows a clear warning when screen recording permission is required, making initial setup smoother on macOS.

• You can now disconnect API providers such as OpenAI and AssemblyAI directly from within the app.

• Choose between paste and direct text insertion as your preferred method for inserting transcribed text into other apps (macOS only)

• Manual transcription sessions can now be cancelled while they are in progress.

Improvements

• The shortcuts configuration UI has been redesigned for a cleaner, more intuitive experience with better conflict detection.

• Command mode now shows a truncated preview of the selected text, and the executed state is surfaced clearly in the UI.

• The notes detail page UI has been simplified and the delete flow for manual transcriptions and notes has been improved.

• The app now correctly reasserts its always-on-top position when taking notes on Windows, preventing it from being hidden behind other windows.

• Toast notifications have been visually refreshed for a cleaner look.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where shortcut conflicts were not being detected correctly, which could result in silent key binding issues.

• Fixed an issue where language hints were not being passed correctly to the Soniox transcription service.

• Fixed the pause functionality for real-time transcription sessions.

• Fixed an issue where the screen sharing state was not being tracked correctly, causing unexpected behaviour.
