Meeting Coach 0.22.0

• Meeting reviews are now organized by topic: a NOTES section with a heading per subject discussed and dense factual bullets under each, plus NEXT STEPS with an owner on every item — instead of one flat list of takeaways. Long meetings fit whole: a 43-minute call is reviewed untrimmed
• Reviews stick closer to what was actually said: someone who was mentioned is no longer written up as if they spoke, and no deadlines are invented that nobody committed to. Reviews saved by earlier versions still open as before
• Search matches every word you type, in any order, and highlights each match — "pricing anna" finds the meeting where Anna raised pricing, however the words fell
• New "Ask AI" card in search results: ask a question across your saved meetings ("what did we decide about the launch date?") and get an answer that cites which meeting each point came from. Runs on your local model; if none is installed, or no meeting matches, it says so
• Open any saved meeting and ask it questions in the new ask bar at the bottom — answers come from that meeting's transcript and review only
• The AI model picker now shows each model's download size next to its name

Meeting Coach 0.21.0

• New "AI coaching" toggle in Settings → Model: turn it off and MeetingCoach runs transcript-first — live transcript, speaker names, and built-in nudges keep working, but no AI model is loaded. Flip it off mid-call and the memory (~7 GB for the default model) comes back right away, not next session. "Generate AI review" on saved sessions still works on demand
• If the AI model is slowing your Mac, a 🐢 tip now appears in the main window and floating overlay with a one-click way to turn AI coaching off; the low-memory banner offers the same. Decline it three times and it stays quiet
• Transcripts now live in ~/Documents/MeetingCoach/transcripts/, named by date and title (e.g. 2026-08-31T14-30_partner-sync_chad-anna.md) so a file listing reads as a timeline, with a small .json file beside each one and a running index.jsonl — point Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI tool at that one folder and it gets transcripts and nothing else. Your existing sessions are copied in (never moved or renamed) the first time you launch
• Fixed one person showing up as two speakers in a one-on-one when you had saved them under two names (like "anna" and "Anna Notario"): their turns no longer flip between names, and short replies stay attributed. If two labels still look like the same person, a one-tap "sound like the same person" card merges them — transcript, timeline, and saved voice profile included
• Voice recognition now only looks for the people who are actually on the call (the guests you listed in pre-call setup, or your 4 most recent contacts) instead of everyone you've ever named
• The Coach suggestions card now says what clicking does — "Space it out" shows the real wait it proposes ("about 90s between repeats instead of 60s"), "Turn it off" / "Keep it" replace the vague Apply/Dismiss — and it no longer proposes spacing out a nudge that is already at its limit
• Fixed a fresh install occasionally running without AI coaching: if the first transcription-model download failed and you clicked Retry, the AI model download that was supposed to follow never started until the next launch

Meeting Coach 0.20.1

• Picking a different AI model during a live session now says what actually happens: the session keeps the model it started with, and your new pick takes over from your next session — before, the change looked ignored
• The low-memory banner now tells you when a small model is installed and ready for your next session, instead of going quiet right after its download finishes

Meeting Coach 0.20.0

• When the full AI coach cannot load because your Mac is busy or low on memory, the main window and floating overlay now say “Basic mode” instead of leaving you wondering why no AI nudges appear; built-in coaching keeps working
• MeetingCoach now tries smaller AI models you already downloaded before falling back to basic mode
• If you do not have a lightweight fallback yet, the low-memory banner offers a one-click ~2.1 GB download for future meetings without changing your preferred model
• Fixed named speakers occasionally losing their name on short replies in a one-on-one call when speaker detection briefly imagined an extra voice that never said anything

Meeting Coach 0.19.1

• Fixed a crash that could quit MeetingCoach as a meeting started, when a headset or other microphone was still connecting. The app now gives the mic a moment to settle, and if it never becomes usable it says so instead of quitting

Meeting Coach 0.19.0

• MeetingCoach now speaks your language: meetings can be transcribed in 25 languages — English plus 24 European languages, from Spanish and French to Ukrainian and Greek. Pick yours in Settings → General; by default it follows your Mac's language
• Non-English meetings use a new high-accuracy on-device engine (Apple Silicon, one ~600 MB download the first time). Your audio still never leaves your Mac
• Post-meeting notes and reviews are written in the meeting's language, and saved sessions remember their language — regenerating an old review keeps it
• In non-English meetings, live coaching sticks to what works in any language: talk time, voice share, and running over time. English meetings keep the full set
• The language you pick is locked in when a meeting starts, so changing it mid-call never scrambles a running transcript. Intel Macs stay English-only (explained right in Settings)

Meeting Coach 0.18.1

• MeetingCoach now checks how much memory is actually free once a call is underway — not just how much your Mac has — and picks a lighter model when your machine is busy. A 32 GB Mac with a lot already open no longer slows to a crawl mid-meeting
• If nothing can run safely, coaching continues without the AI parts instead of freezing your call, and it stays that way for the whole meeting rather than loading a model at the end
• A meeting now uses exactly one model from start to finish, and always releases it when the call is over — including when you stop before saying anything
• Models are no longer loaded speculatively when a meeting is detected: your Mac only holds one while a call is actually running

Meeting Coach 0.18.0

• Naming speakers is now dependable: rename someone once and they stay named — including the words they said before the transcript learned to tell voices apart, and anything they say next. On a two-person call, naming the other person (or listing them in pre-call setup) labels the whole far side with their name; if a third voice joins, the transcript honestly goes back to numbered speakers

• Naming someone in the first moments of a call now still saves their voice — the app waits for enough speech and saves automatically, then keeps the fullest sample at the end of the call so future meetings recognize them

• Renaming a speaker after a session ends now updates the saved transcript too, so the name is still there when you reopen it

• The rename popover suggests people you've already named or met with — start typing and pick, or click a suggestion straight away

• Speaker names now show a pencil icon on hover and a one-time hint on your first real meeting, so it's obvious they're editable

• Updates now install themselves: they download quietly in the background and apply the next time the app isn't running — never during a meeting. No more missing a fix because an update popup got dismissed

• If an update has been waiting a few days (this app rarely quits, so it rarely gets the chance to install), the app offers it right after a call ends — at most once a day, and never while you're in one. The menu bar shows how long it's been waiting

• Prefer to review each update yourself? Settings → General → "Install updates automatically" turns the automatic behavior off; the menu bar dot still tells you when one is ready

• The app now records its version when it starts, so support questions get answered from your first log line instead of guesswork

Meeting Coach 0.17.2

• Updates now install themselves: they download quietly in the background and apply the next time the app isn't running — never during a meeting. No more missing a fix because an update popup got dismissed
• If an update has been waiting a few days (this app rarely quits, so it rarely gets the chance to install), the app offers it right after a call ends — at most once a day, and never while you're in one. The menu bar shows how long it's been waiting
• Prefer to review each update yourself? Settings → General → "Install updates automatically" turns the automatic behavior off; the menu bar dot still tells you when one is ready
• The app now records its version when it starts, so support questions get answered from your first log line instead of guesswork

Meeting Coach 0.17.1

• A red dot on the menu bar icon shows when an update is waiting, with "Update available…" pinned to the top of the dropdown — so a dismissed update popup doesn't mean a missed update
• Fixed a crash on Intel Macs: the high-accuracy transcription model only runs on Apple Silicon, and starting a session on an Intel Mac could quit the app mid-meeting. Intel Macs now automatically use Apple's built-in transcription instead, and the app says clearly (during setup and in each session) that Intel isn't fully supported — reduced accuracy, no speaker identification. Intel Macs also no longer download the unusable 600 MB model
• The truth about FaceTime and phone calls on your Mac: macOS blocks every app from hearing them — including the microphone itself, which goes silent for other apps the moment a call connects. Previously the app pretended to listen anyway and blamed you for 100% of the talking; now it detects the call and tells you straight, with what actually works: answer on your iPhone on speakerphone near your Mac, or use Zoom/Meet for coached calls
• The microphone also now notices when it's receiving dead silence (a call grabbed it mid-session, a device glitch) and reconnects automatically instead of listening to nothing forever
