Chronicle Keeper v0.5.1 - first public release

For install and getting started, see the README.

Pipeline

• Import Craig Bot ZIP recordings; one audio track per speaker.
• Per-track speaker labelling (player / character / pronouns), with a campaign roster.
• On-device transcription — Parakeet TDT v3 (int8) via sherpa-onnx. 25 European languages,
  several× realtime on CPU. Optional CoreML / CUDA / DirectML acceleration, CPU fallback.
• Silero VAD segmentation, with a fixed-window fallback.
• Summarization with your chosen LLM into structured Markdown.
• Export to Markdown with Obsidian frontmatter.

LLM providers (bring your own)

• Local Ollama.
• Native Anthropic Messages API.
• OpenAI-compatible: openai, groq, deepseek, mistral, together, perplexity, minimax, Gemini.
• Keys and all LLM calls stay on-device.

Codex (the summarizer's memory)

• Per-campaign glossary of named entities (PCs / NPCs / places / factions / items / lore),
  injected into every summary prompt to auto-correct mangled names.
• Filled three ways: manual entry, auto-extracted from summaries, or LLM-distilled from an
  imported notes folder.
• Editable entry inspector.

Campaigns & sessions

• Campaign and session management with metadata, party roster, and per-session artifacts
  (transcripts + summaries) kept in one SQLite database.
• LLM-generated "story so far" recap per campaign.
• First-launch example campaign so the whole pipeline is visible before recording anything.

Sync (optional)

• Offline-first multi-device sync against a small self-hostable server. Off by default.
• Everything syncs except audio; transcription and LLM work always stay on your device.

Platforms

• macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, Linux. Installers built per release; unsigned for now.
