Now Oats everywhere
The app's internal identity changed from the old codename to Oats. Your notes and settings move over automatically on first launch. Because macOS ties permissions to the app identity, it will ask for microphone, system audio, screen, and calendar access once more. This is a one-time effect of the change.
HUD fixes
- The floating lozenge now adapts natively to what is behind it, so it stays readable over white pages as well as dark ones. No more invisible controls on light backgrounds.
- Collapsing back to the small lozenge no longer flashes a squared-off edge. The morph is anchored so it stays round the whole way.
- The record button sits centered in its pill.
New
- Join & Record: when a calendar event has a Zoom, Meet, Teams, or Webex link, the button on the Home screen becomes Join & Record. One click opens the call and starts the note.
- Reset: Settings now has a clearly marked danger option that erases every note, chat, and the knowledge graph on this Mac. Model connections are kept.
- Faster onboarding: the welcome flow no longer blocks you on permissions. Breeze through it and grant access when you first record. Home shows what is still missing.
Installing
Oats is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. Open the DMG, drag Oats to Applications, and it opens like any Mac app, no warnings and no right-click dance.
