OpenPlod 0.4.1

A focused workspace update for transcripts, recording-context AI, and Android pairing.

What's New

  • A compact transcript list and Markdown reader, with preview/source modes, Markdown/text/JSON exports, editing links, and Mistral document creation.
  • A cleaner AI Chat workspace with collapsible sources/history, selected-source chips, prompt shortcuts, answer copy/export, and explicit consent before sending transcript text to Mistral.
  • A dedicated Android connection page with reveal-on-demand pairing QR, automatic hiding, masked credentials, vault reachability checks, and confirmed unpairing.
  • Consistent custom SVG controls and responsive light/dark layouts.
  • Mobile transcript Back navigation and guards against stale asynchronous responses.
  • A detailed 1.0.0 roadmap. Additional AI providers are planned, not implemented in this release.

Download and Upgrade

Download OpenPlod-0.4.1-macos-arm64.zip and SHA256SUMS.txt below. Verify them in the same directory:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt

Quit OpenPlod and back up your full vault before upgrading. Extract the ZIP and replace only the application in Applications. Do not delete the Application Support vault. The archive includes documentation, a build/source manifest, and the dependency-license inventory and available notices.

The Mac build is experimental, Apple Silicon only, ad-hoc signed, and not notarized. Direct Plaud extraction still requires external Swift tooling, ffmpeg, and ffprobe. No production-signed Android APK is published here; Android source and build instructions are included in the repository.

Validation

  • 106 Bun tests and 1,000 assertions, backend type checking, frontend lint/build.
  • Production macOS build and Android ARM64 debug build.
  • Android 16 KB APK ZIP and ELF alignment checks. A real 16 KB runtime device was not tested.
  • Real-library UI checks for transcript exports, Mistral document creation controls, chat consent/context, private pairing states, and navigation at 320-1440 px under the production content-security policy.
  • Existing real-audio playback, waveform-pixel, export, error-recovery, tooltip, and keyboard checks passed on a standalone rerun after an earlier concurrent-run timeout.
  • Installed Mac bundle signature/version and executable identity verified; previous/generated copies archived.
  • Package checked for private vault artifacts and known configured credential values; checksums verified.

Important Limits

This is not new Plaud hardware or live-provider acceptance. Historical direct extraction was verified only on the documented authorized Note Pro setup. Fresh-owner authorization, wider firmware/phone compatibility, byte-offset mobile upload recovery, full cross-peer deletion propagation, and original-sidecar purge remain open.

Mistral, Deepgram, and local whisper.cpp remain the transcription choices. The OpenAI/AssemblyAI/Anthropic/Ollama items in the roadmap are not new selectable providers yet. Cloud operations send audio or transcript text to configured providers; the default LAN service is not intended for public internet exposure.

MIT covers original OpenPlod contributions; inherited and third-party licensing boundaries remain documented separately.
