talat v1.5.0 is up! We've reorganised the navigation, revamped our refer-a-friend scheme (within the app), made it so that you can (finally!) delete tags, added editable frontmatter YAML templates for the obsidian users, and a bunch of calendar improvements. talat.app

talat v1.3.0 is here already. We've missed a coupe of updates here, but there have been some great new features recently. One notable recent feature is being able to use Claude Code or Codex as your summarisation agent and dictation clean-up agent talat.app

You don't need every word spoken in your private meetings to be uploaded to a third party server. Your computer is powerful enough to transcribe it locally. #privacy #meetingnotes

v0.11.1 is out! Lots of calendar-related fixes and quality of life improvements - no major new features. Download at talat.app
v0.11.1
latest
13 May 2026
Features
Hide calendar events without a join link, or restrict the Upcoming list to specific providers (Meet, Zoom, Teams). The same filters gate calendar notifications and auto-start
Exclude meeting rooms, bots, or anyone else you don't want appearing as a speaker, using glob patterns under Calendar settings
Open recordings on the Summary tab by default when one exists, via a new Appearance setting
Improvements
Speaker matching now sticks to people who are actually in this meeting, instead of guessing from everyone you've ever talked to. Recordings without participants stay unattributed rather than picking up noisy mismatches
Calendar sync keeps existing events up to date if you move them, rename them, swap the join link, or change the invite list
Choose a calendar-day cutoff for your Upcoming list: Today, Today and tomorrow, Next 3 days, or Next 7 days
PDF exports render Cyrillic, Greek and other non-Latin characters correctly (CJK and Arabic still to come)
Notifications no longer stack on top of each other when meeting or microphone state changes in quick succession
Splitting a recording now generates a title, summary, export, and webhook for both halves, and the new half appears in your library immediately. The cut handle also shows up on hover, no right-click needed
'Today' and 'Tomorrow' labels on the home view and meeting pages roll over correctly across local midnight, even when you leave the app open
The 'talat' wordmark in the sidebar is now a shortcut back to your library, and a cog next to Upcoming jumps to Calendar settings
Discord link added to the Feedback page
Fixes
Turning on 'Restrict by source' and unchecking every provider no longer silently empties your Upcoming list

v0.11.0 is out, and since we were too busy to announce v0.10.0 properly, let's do that too: hellooo new design! There's too much to cover in a single post, but you can read the details over at talat.app/changelog, and take a look at some of the updated screenshots below 👇

Two features in v0.9.0 you might not have spotted: 1. Split a recording into two meetings, for when two conversations got captured as one 2. Merge two into one, for when a meeting got split (you stopped and restarted, or auto-stop fired too eagerly)

v0.9.0 is out! If you've already got talat installed you'll get the update shortly. New users can grab it from talat.app Full changelog below:
v0.9.0
latest
24 Apr 2026
Features
Split a recording into two separate meetings, for those times when two conversations got captured as one session
Merge two recordings into one, for the inverse: when a single meeting ended up split across two recordings (because you stopped and restarted, or the auto-stop fired too early)
Improvements
Auto-stop now defaults to a one-second grace period after your meeting app releases the mic, with the option to dial it down to zero for an immediate cutoff or higher if you want a longer buffer
Small visual polish on the 'call in progress' notification, including an always-visible close button
Loading an older meeting is smoother, with less flashing as the transcript fills in
Fixes
Windows: fixed a bug that could cause new recordings to come out empty after certain auto-stop sequences, until the app was restarted
Fixed an error that could pop up when reassigning a speaker in a long meeting
The summariser now recovers automatically if it crashes partway through, instead of needing a full restart

talat v0.8.0 is out! Another big release, with several new features and an experimental status line (which isn't perfect and we'd love your feedback on). Full changelog here: talat.app/changelog
v0.8.0
latest
15 Apr 2026
Features
Global keyboard shortcut to start and stop a recording from anywhere, with optional audio feedback
Optional recording timer in the macOS menu bar, so you can see how long you've been at it without coming back to the app
Editable summaries: click anywhere in a summary and start typing, with inline bold, italic, headings, and lists; edits save automatically
New Help tab in settings, including a direct link to book a 15-minute support call if something's gone sideways
Improvements
New status line along the bottom of the window: live recording controls, model readiness, download progress, and update prompts, so you always know what talat is up to
Updates now install cleanly when you quit talat, rather than fighting with the running app
Faster, more reliable model downloads that properly resume if they get interrupted partway through
Summarisation no longer blocks recording: if the local model is still downloading, you can record first and generate the summary once it's ready
Transcription now works reliably with low-quality mics (e.g. 8kHz or 16-bit sources) that weren't being captured properly before
Reassigning speakers uses the same command palette you see elsewhere in the app, with a one-click option to clear a speaker's entire assignment history
The feedback form can optionally include your email so talat can reply, with clear copy about what happens either way
Audio player shows hours:minutes:seconds for long meetings, and the segment play button now actually toggles to pause while playing
The talat window takes focus on launch instead of hiding behind whatever else was on screen
Better support for macOS Tahoe

talat v0.7.1 is out - this is an important update for anyone running 0.7.0 as it fixes a memory leak which would build up over time. Keep your eyes peeled for the 'update available' notification, or download manually from talat.app
v0.7.1
latest
8 Apr 2026
Fixes
Fixed an issue where the app used increasingly more memory during long recordings
Fixed the auto-recording prompt only appearing once instead of before every call
Fixed auto-scroll not following the transcript when live speech indicators appear

talat v0.6.0 is out! This is a huge release - arguably a bit too big - but one we are super proud of. Read all about it here: talat.app/changelog
v0.6.0
latest
30 Mar 2026
Features
New three-panel layout: transcript in the centre, collapsible notes and people panels on the sides
Inline notes — jot timestamped thoughts during a live recording, or reply directly to a transcript line to anchor a note in context
Overhauled speaker recognition: tag expected participants before a meeting for better accuracy from the first word, and voice references now build automatically as speakers are identified
Custom summarisation endpoints — point talat at any OpenAI-compatible API, including on-premise or private deployments like AWS Bedrock, corporate proxies, or self-hosted models
Option to hide talat from the Dock and Cmd+Tab switcher so it lives purely in the menu bar
Back and forward navigation in the toolbar, just like Finder
"Meetings" renamed to "recordings" throughout the app — it better reflects how people actually use talat
Improvements
Built-in summarisation model upgraded to Qwen 3.5 4B — noticeably better output, same download size
Models load instantly when already downloaded, even without an internet connection
Live speaker detection is more accurate, with fewer misattributions mid-meeting
Audio files can now be included in auto-export and batch export
You can resume any past recording, regardless of how old it is
Fixes
Recordings stuck in a processing or crashed state now recover automatically on startup
Fixed a layout glitch where live preview text briefly appeared twice after being finalised
Very long recordings (4+ hours) no longer cause the audio processor to spin endlessly in the background
Improved privacy safeguards around feedback and diagnostic logs
Mic device selection now works reliably for non-default microphones
Automatic meeting detection now works for non-admin macOS users
Fixed a rare blank screen on startup caused by a boot-sequence timing issue

v0.4.0
latest
19 Mar 2026
Features
A new 'People' tab on each meeting shows who spoke, for how long, and their transcript segments
Speaker reassignment should feel a little more intuitive and work a bit more predictably
UI scale is adjustable (75–150%) to make the interface more comfortable on large external displays
Improvements
People tab is available during live meetings as speakers are detected
Speaker reassign and merge are now scoped to the current meeting and never touch other meetings
Confirmation step before merging or reassigning a speaker
Transcript bubble action icons are always visible with larger click targets
Speaker command palette shows all known people, not just those detected in the current meeting
Settings redesigned as an in-app two-column layout matching macOS System Settings
Speakers renamed to "People" throughout the app
Fixes
Merging speakers no longer deletes the original speaker or modifies segments in other meetings
Home screen no longer occasionally goes blank after stopping a recording
