Happy New Year! Our first release this year is one of our favorite kinds: papercuts! In the few days before the holiday break, we took a break from building and focused our minds on fixing. Bugs, UI weirdness or niches were all up for grabs.
Taking the time to clear out the cobwebs is an important part of keeping the app feeling fresh, smooth and performant, so we take a day or two to focus on papercuts regularly.
Here's everything we worked on before the holidays, ready for you today:
Highlights
Text editor polish
The text editor got a lot of love: You can now revert headings to regular text by backspacing at the beginning of the line, and more reliably tab to indent bulleted and numbered lists thanks to Toby and Dante. Sam T also worked with Dante to fix some broken backspace behavior in lists.
Chat improvements:
Eddie made it so you can scroll the page while the chat overlay is open, Dante fixed pasting images so it no longer replaces existing attachments, and citations don't duplicate anymore. Jonathan added stripping of citation markers when copying messages.
Smarter regeneration warnings
Sam T added confirmation dialogs before regenerating notes that you've edited, so you won't accidentally lose your changes. You'll also see prompts to regenerate when attendees change or when transcript chunks are deleted, thanks to Jonathan.
Hover over mentions to see attendee details
Dante added attendee cards that appear when you hover over @mentions, showing recent notes and quick actions for that person. Tikhon also added notes and sharing info to a redesigned attendee card in the meeting header.
Other Fixes and Improvements
- Zoom meeting links are now recognized with zoom.com (not just zoom.us), and clicking them opens the Zoom app directly. Thanks to Vicky and Jonathan for these improvements.
- Several Slack integration fixes: Jonathan fixed channel lists for large workspaces, and Sam T fixed sharing not appearing for some notes. Click selection now works in the channel dropdown, and ESC no longer closes your entire note when the Slack dialog is open.
- Calendar sync is more reliable now. Nick and Jonathan made it so temporary errors don't show unnecessary "connect calendar" prompts, Tanya fixed the Connect Calendar button text, and Sam T fixed the reset calendar button.
- Ross added automatic image resizing for chat attachments, so large images are optimized without you having to resize them manually.
- The app looks better on macOS Tahoe thanks to Tikhon fixing the border radius, and the overall color scheme got an update with improved sidebar and notes contrast.
- Window controls and spacing are improved: Dante fixed traffic light position, Nick fixed transcription indicator overlapping the titlebar on narrow windows, and Luke fixed various notification spacing.
- Meetings feel snappier as they no longer re-render when opening chat thanks to Dante, and Luke fixed the AI reasoning timer so it no longer freezes.
- Nick changed the default note title from "Untitled meeting" to "New note" for clarity.
- Dante fixed the app sometimes showing "invalid grant" auth errors, and window focus behavior after auto-updates is now correct.
- Nick hid the share button until your note has a summary, preventing sharing of incomplete notes.
- Prompts to regenerate now appear when you edit raw notes or when more transcription is captured, but only for the note you're working on - not while transcribing a different note. Thanks to Dante for this improvement.
- Luke made multiple UI polish improvements: fixed search bar focus states, long workspace name handling, meeting NUX rounded corners, and navbar icon consistency. Tikhon fixed the sidebar icon animation.
- Onboarding got several polish updates from Dante and Luke: better permissions screen copy, refined focus states, and an overall smoother flow.
- Settings now defaults to the calendar page for new users, making it easier to get set up with your calendars. Thanks to Dante.
- Long attachment filenames now show properly in tooltips, thanks to Matthew.
- Folder permissions are clearer: Eddie made the default folder toggle only show for collaborators, and Vicky fixed the "add to folder" tooltip on read-only notes.
- Dante fixed email autocomplete menus when sharing a note, so dropdowns no longer overlap.
- Matthew fixed the chat editing notice so it no longer overflows its container, and Dante fixed the template editor X button position.
- Jonathan added search filtering for pending invites in the team members list.
- Desktop sign-in now automatically logs you into web thanks to Dante, and Luke added rich previews when sharing invite links.
- Windows users: Dante made the copy link tooltip visible, and Luke added a join meeting option to the tray menu.
- Tikhon fixed LLM-generated titles so they no longer overwrite your custom meeting titles, and Toby swapped in the Claude icon instead of the Anthropic logo when selecting a model in chat.
- Crash fixes: Dante fixed an issue where hovering over citations could crash, and removed a timestamps extension that caused crashes when undoing deletions.
- Luke changed the app font from Inter to SF Pro for a more native macOS feel.
- Sam T fixed an issue with the Raycast extension causing recurring meetings to create blank notes, rather than being meeting-linked.
- A host of other tweaks and changes: fixed the floating chat background gradient, improved document layout spacing, a clearer tooltip on the dictation feature, and nicer overflowing for long attachments in chat.
