  • Recent hides recordings without speech; Settings, Show recordings without speech brings them back.
  • A Bluetooth headset no longer goes into call mode while nothing is recording: the microphone is opened only for a
    recording, on the one device it records from, and closed when it stops. Up to 0.1.3 a headset that connected after
    the first recording stayed in call mode (muffled playback everywhere) until Point and Yap quit.

  • A short loop of how it works above Start recording, once the permissions are allowed, until Got it; How it works
    brings it back.

  • Updates itself: checks pointandyap.com every few hours, downloads a new version in the background (Sparkle, signed
    with its own key) and installs it when you quit; the window shows it with a Restart button. From this version on.
  • Records from the Mac's built-in microphone when the default input is Bluetooth: AirPods no longer switch into call
    mode while you record, and the done sound is no longer cut off.
  • After allowing Screen Recording or Accessibility, macOS's Quit & Reopen now really reopens the app.

  • The app is now "Point and Yap" everywhere: /Applications/Point and Yap.app, the MCP server pointandyap, the skill
    point-and-yap, recordings in ~/PointAndYap. Recordings, settings and agent connections of 0.1.0 move over by
    themselves; macOS asks for the microphone, screen recording and accessibility once more.
  • A designed installer window: drag Point and Yap into Applications.
  • Soft start and done sounds of its own.

The first public build. macOS 26, Apple silicon. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

  • Press Control twice, talk while you point at things on screen, press Control twice again. Esc cancels.
  • Voice is transcribed on your Mac (Apple's on-device speech model). Each recording keeps the cursor path, screenshots,
    cropped points and the Accessibility element under the cursor.
  • Every recording becomes one item in a local queue: to fix, in progress (by which agent) or done.
  • A local MCP server for coding agents (get_open_items, start_items, list_items, mark_done, release_items,
    list_sessions, get_session, get_frame) and a shell fallback (Point --items, Point --done).
  • On first launch it asks before connecting to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Nothing in their configs changes before
    that yes, and each config is backed up first.
  • Everything stays on your Mac. No account. The only download is Apple's speech model, which macOS fetches once.
