Meet Simple now notices when a call starts, offers to record it, and stops by itself when you leave. Transcripts are also much cleaner. Everything still runs on your PC.

New

  • Call detection. When Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp or a similar app starts a call, a small island at the top of the screen asks whether to record. Nothing is recorded without your click.
  • Background call recording. Recording runs out of the way and records the microphone and speakers the call actually uses, such as a headset.
  • Auto-stop. Recording stops when you leave the call or close the app. Muting and push-to-talk keep it going. If a call only goes quiet, you get a short "Call ended?" countdown with Keep recording.
  • Windows notification when the call ends. Choose Summarize, Transcribe only or Save for now.
  • Tray and Start with Windows. Meet Simple can wait quietly in the tray for the next call. Start with Windows is off by default; turn it on in Settings.
  • Switch audio devices mid-recording. Each level meter has a device picker. Switching keeps the same recording going. If sound is clearly coming from another device (for example Discord playing through an audio interface), Meet Simple suggests switching. Your choice is remembered.
  • Background jobs. A running transcription shrinks into a progress pill, so you can use the rest of the app meanwhile.

Better transcripts

  • Voice detection (Silero VAD). Only speech is transcribed, so call-app beeps, join sounds and silence are skipped.
  • No more invented text. Whisper's hallucinations, like "Closed Captioning by…", stray "Thank you." lines and repeated sentences, are filtered out.

Polish

  • Smoother level meters: fast rise, slow fall, no jitter.
  • New Inter typeface, a new app icon, and more robust recording and recovery.
  • The README now lists hardware requirements and every first-run download with its size.

Known limitations

  • Call auto-stop is tuned on Discord; other call apps may need more real-world testing.
  • The GPU (Vulkan) path is not tested across many graphics cards.
  • Windows 10 is supported but less tested than Windows 11.
  • No published speed timings yet. If you time one, please share it.

Only record calls when everyone on them agrees.
