BlueMinutes v0.1.0 — First Public Source Release

  • Released: 2026-07-22
  • Tag: v0.1.0
  • Distribution scope: source code only

Why BlueMinutes

BlueMinutes grew from firsthand experience with the time pressure of UN
conferences and multilateral meetings. It brings local transcription,
translation, evidence-linked position analysis, human review, briefing
preparation, and qualified meeting history into one native macOS workflow.

Highlights

  • Local-first native macOS application built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI.
  • Local media intake and visible audio capture with managed storage,
    deterministic canonical audio, checkpoints, retry, and recovery.
  • Apple on-device transcription, translation, diplomatic analysis, and
    briefing routes, with explicit review and confirmation boundaries.
  • Typed provenance, immutable revisions, exact evidence links, complete source
    accounting, and fail-closed publication gates.
  • Independent briefing sections, Markdown export, qualified historical review,
    and visible learned preferences.
  • A typed local CLI and a local stdio MCP server with seven bounded read tools;
    no HTTP listener or remote-control surface.
  • Apache License 2.0, public contribution and security policies, protected
    main, and a synthetic-safe CI suite.

See CHANGELOG.md for the detailed version history and
README.md for build and usage instructions.

Source-release boundary

This GitHub Release identifies the first reviewed public source version.
GitHub provides the standard source archives automatically; no BlueMinutes app
bundle, installer, maintainer-built application ZIP, signing material, or other
binary asset is attached.

Developers and early evaluators can build and run BlueMinutes locally by
following the README. A Developer ID signed, notarized, and clean-machine-tested
app download remains a separate future distribution milestone.

Compatibility naming

BlueMinutes is the public project and product name. Some internal Swift targets,
executables, bundle and database identifiers, protocol names, and persistent
formats retain the legacy MeetingBuddy identifier to preserve compatibility.
Exact legacy command names in the README are intentional implementation
identifiers, not a second brand.

Known limitations

  • Apple Silicon is the currently validated architecture.
  • Automatic Apple transcription, translation, analysis, and briefing require
    macOS 26, supported hardware and locales, and installed model assets.
  • Briefing currently provides one multilateral template and three sections.
  • Historical retrieval is conservative lexical and exact-identity search.
  • UN Web TV support is metadata-only; no media acquisition is implemented.
  • Native capture remains subject to the intended-OS and physical-device proof
    gaps documented in the repository.
  • BlueMinutes supports evidence-linked drafting and review; users must validate
    consequential output against source material and applicable processes.

Privacy

Meeting content remains local by default. There is no outbound inference
provider, cloud synchronization, remote MCP, HTTP API, telemetry service, or
remote-control path in this version. The only implemented network route is an
explicit, bounded metadata request to an exact webtv.un.org asset page, and
offline/no-outbound mode disables it.
