Every version of Hapi.

Speakers

• Meetings now separate each person who speaks, instead of grouping everyone else as "The rest". Hapi gets the number of people right far more often, even without a calendar invite.
• Each person gets their own colour. Their name appears once, the first time they speak, and a small coloured square marks their later lines, so you read the conversation instead of a column of names.
• Each line shows what that person actually said, so sentences no longer break at the wrong speaker.
• When Hapi has a good guess for an unnamed speaker, it shows "maybe Matt?" in that person's colour. One click confirms it.
• "Re-identify speakers" now updates the meeting in place, and the waveform animates while Hapi is working on a meeting.
• The note menu now has "Show speakers", "Show timestamps" and "Rename" for each speaker.
• Invitees who didn't join, or who were invited twice under different emails, no longer add a phantom speaker.
• Each word of the transcript belongs to exactly one speaker, so nothing is repeated in the transcript or the summary.
• Meetings you already recorded keep the speakers they had.

Reliability

• The warning that a recording captured only silence now appears only when that is really the case.

Today

• The daily brief is easier to read.

iPhone

• Choose between three app icons: Clouds, Ivory or Black.

Summaries

• Regenerating a summary keeps the current one until the new one is ready, so a failed attempt never leaves you with nothing.
• Long meetings resume summarizing where they left off, and very long turns no longer overflow the on-device model.
• Action items keep their latest status (done, cancelled) instead of reverting to an earlier mention.

Reliability

• A summary that fails for a temporary reason is retried automatically instead of being given up.
• Upgrading the AI model no longer removes the current one before the new download is complete.
• Hapi checks that the AI model fits in memory before loading it, including older installed models.
• If the recordings list fails to load more items, you can retry instead of the list just ending.
• A local memory error is no longer reported as a cloud credits problem.

Appearance

• On first launch the main window opens at a comfortable width.

Appearance

• New "White" background palette replaces Cool.

Meetings

• Teams calls are no longer ended early when you join after the pre-join screen.

Reliability

• Hapi always opens its main window at launch.
• A summary interrupted by quitting Hapi now resumes instead of being abandoned.

AI

• Pro: in hybrid mode, use your own self-hosted model server (Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), with automatic fallback to on-device AI.
• Optionally allow email bodies to go to your own server — off by default.
• Regenerating a summary now shows its progress, and the local-summary note can be dismissed.

Appearance

• New clouds app icon by default. The previous icons stay available in Settings → Appearance.

Reliability

• Fewer hangs during meeting detection.

Summaries

• "Retry" on a failed summary works again.
• Local summaries stay in the meeting's language from start to finish.
• Local summaries recover from a section the model couldn't read, instead of failing every time.
• Next steps no longer get assigned to someone who wasn't in the meeting.

Recording

• Starting a meeting from Today or an event keeps its title and shows "Join now" for the call.
• Everything about recording now uses one red.
• Tidier topic headers and shortcut hints; granted permissions show in green.

A new look

• Hapi is now a notepad: one calm column with Today, Recordings and Settings, plus back/forward history and ⌘K search.
• A live meeting is its own page: take notes while you record, with @mentions, real bullets and ⌘B/⌘I/⌘K formatting.
• Today shows your daily brief and your next video calls.
• A floating bubble or the notch shows when a meeting is recording while you work elsewhere.
• Redesigned first-run setup that fits any window size.
• Cleaner meeting pages: people, Start/Join now for upcoming calls, and a simpler menu.

Summaries

• Local summaries cover long meetings more completely.
• "Regenerate summary" now explains what went wrong when it can't finish.

iPhone

• Notes, participants and accent colour now sync between your Mac and iPhone.
• Sync fixes: summaries from iPhone recordings, edits and deletions now arrive reliably.

Reliability & performance

• Lower memory use after meetings on 16 GB Macs.
• Fixed a crash after meetings on macOS 14 (speaker identification is paused on macOS 14 for now).
• Fixed a stall at launch.
• Meetings with no action items no longer show as failed.

Transcripts & summaries

• Names and terms Hapi already knows (attendees, your custom dictionary, earlier meetings) are now spelled correctly in transcripts and summaries.
• Summaries no longer present proposals as decisions, and report facts more faithfully.
• Action items name who committed to them, and deadlines like "Thursday" become real dates.

Reliability

• If on-device AI has to pause, Hapi tells you right away and offers a restart.
• Fixes for brief freezes during meeting detection.

Meetings

• Choose how Hapi records meetings: Off, Ask, or Always.
• Recording now ends on its own when the calendar event finishes or after a maximum length, with a "Keep recording" countdown.
• Back-to-back and double-booked meetings are no longer mislabeled or merged together.
• The participants panel shows who actually attended, and speakers are named more reliably.
• Offer to resume a meeting recording after your Mac wakes up.
• Hapi now tells you when a meeting captured almost no speech, so you can check your microphone.

Recording & transcription

• Connecting AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones mid-meeting no longer leaves gaps or silent recordings.
• Other participants' audio recovers automatically if it goes silent during a meeting.
• Your voice and other participants' audio are transcribed separately, for more accurate speakers.

• Faster, more reliable on-device model for the Best and Pro tiers.
• Cloud summaries read the whole meeting at once, and action items no longer time out.
• The latest cloud models are always available, and each summary shows which model wrote it.

• Meeting links and codes are no longer written to Hapi's logs.

Recording reliability

• Pressing the voice-note hotkey during a meeting no longer stops the meeting recording.
• Switching headphones or audio devices at the end of a call no longer leaves a phantom recording or a transcript without audio.
• Hapi now recovers faster when AirPods or other devices change several times in a row.
• Other participants' audio is no longer switched off when you talk for a while and they stay quiet.
• Your Mac no longer goes to sleep while Hapi is recording, and a recording interrupted by sleep no longer leaks into your next voice note.
• Meetings where no speech was captured are now kept and clearly flagged, instead of silently disappearing.
• Fixed meeting recordings that played back sped up ("chipmunk" audio).

Summaries

• Back-to-back meetings no longer end up without a summary or title.
• A meeting whose summary keeps failing is no longer retried on every launch.
• Long on-device summaries no longer switch off local AI until restart.

Fixes & privacy

• Removed a Pause button that didn't actually pause the recording.
• The "couldn't start recording" message now explains the real cause.
• Menu-bar items are now correctly enabled or disabled.
• Dictated text, window titles, meeting titles and chat content are no longer written to Hapi's logs.
• Fixed several brief freezes in the dashboard, calendar, audio devices and model unloading.

Fixes

• Fixed a recurring dashboard hang on wider windows — replaced the two-column layout with one that doesn't fight itself over sizing.
• Fixed a hang when restarting the global hotkey listener (e.g. after waking from sleep).
• Fixed a hang formatting very long transcripts.
• Fixed a hang triggered by a browser tab with an unusually long URL.
• Fixed a hang when stopping or rebuilding system-audio capture during a meeting.
• Fixed a hang where the window would briefly freeze while remembering its position during a display change.

Fixes

• Fixed two rare startup hangs where a slow audio or window-lookup response from macOS could briefly freeze Hapi.
• Fixed a case where a meeting's speaker segments could end up empty when word timings didn't line up with the diarized segments.
• Stopped filing a diagnostic report when a cloud AI request falls back to local because the Mac is briefly offline — that's expected behavior, not a bug.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where a browser tab with an unusual URL could freeze Hapi for several seconds while checking for meetings.
• Reduced a startup rendering delay seen on some Macs.

Screen Assistant

• Screen Assistant is now off by default and marked BETA — it's still evolving and can occasionally misfire, so turn it on knowingly. A warning now explains this right where you enable it.

Fixes

• Improved accuracy of automatic diagnostic reports, so recurring issues are tracked correctly instead of resurfacing as duplicates or getting reopened after being resolved.

Fixes

• Fixed a dashboard crash on first-time meeting briefings when two attendee emails resolved to the same contact.
• Fixed several cases where Hapi could briefly freeze — loading pending transcriptions, connecting an Obsidian vault, and during first-launch integration setup.
• Fixed a worker diagnostic that could misreport a successful meeting as having silently failed.

Pricing

• The free 30-day Hapi Pro trial is back — every new install gets it automatically, no license required.
• When it ends, you keep the free Voice Notes tier, or upgrade to Local/Pro to stay on the full app.

Fixes

• Calendar meetings with a Google Meet link that weren't showing up on the dashboard now sync correctly.
• Meetings that were already titled (or too short to title) no longer show a false "title failed" error.
• Fixed two cases where Hapi could briefly freeze for a couple of seconds — when loading a meeting's audio, and when starting a recording while the microphone warms up.

Pricing

• Local and Pro are now paid from day one — the automatic 30-day free trial on first launch has been removed for new downloads.
• Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
• If you downloaded Hapi before March 1, 2026, nothing changes for you — your access stays free.

Reliability

• Added anonymous, privacy-safe diagnostics that help us see whether the app started and finished recordings cleanly, and whether it crashed or was force-quit by the system on the previous launch. No audio, transcript, or personal content is ever included.
• Added crash and hang diagnostics (via Apple's MetricKit) to catch issues we can't otherwise see.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where semantic search silently failed to index anything after a fresh install, because the downloaded embeddings model was being looked for in the wrong folder.

Voice notes

• Better handling of mid-sentence self-corrections when dictating — if you correct yourself (e.g. “the Italian place, sorry, the Japanese one”), Hapi now keeps just the corrected version more reliably.
• Hapi now preserves the punctuation and capitalization from transcription instead of reformatting it, so dictated text reads more naturally.

Fixes & improvements

• Fixed meeting reminders that could pop up for calendar events you had already deleted, even after restarting Hapi.
• The “Show in Dock” setting now takes effect reliably.
• Your global recording shortcut no longer leaks its key into whatever app you’re typing in.
• On unsupported Intel Macs, Hapi now shows a clear message instead of crashing — Hapi requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later).

Meetings

• Fixed an issue where “Join & record” could freeze and fail to start, especially when using Bluetooth headphones or AirPods.
• Hapi now automatically recovers when the microphone isn't quite ready at the moment recording starts, instead of giving up with an error.
• If recording genuinely can't start, Hapi now tells you clearly with a notice — instead of opening the meeting while nothing is being recorded.

Reliability

• Crash reporting now pinpoints the exact code involved in a crash, so rare issues get diagnosed and fixed much faster.
• The bug report form now shows a clear error message next to the Submit button when a report can't be sent.

Meetings

• The record prompt now appears within a couple of seconds of joining a meeting, instead of taking several seconds to show up.

Transcripts

• Fixed an issue where long meeting transcripts could lose large portions of the conversation during text cleanup. Meetings now always keep the full verbatim transcript.

Speakers

• More reliable speaker identification in two-person calls: the remote participant is now correctly separated and labeled instead of being mixed into your own speech.

Notifications

• Declining a meeting recording prompt now keeps it dismissed for that meeting. The prompt only returns when that meeting actually ends and a new one starts.

Meetings

• Multi-person meetings now separate each participant into their own speaker, instead of grouping everyone except you into a single "Them". When your calendar invite lists the attendees, Hapi labels the speakers by name.
• Speaker labels now appear in the transcript by default, so you can see who said what at a glance. You can still hide them with the speaker toggle in the transcript view.

Meeting recording stability

• Fixed an issue where quitting one browser would stop a meeting recording that was actually hosted in a different browser. Your recording now keeps going as long as the meeting is still open where it started.

Settings

• The diagnostics and usage-metrics switches in Settings now toggle reliably and are easier to tap.

Meeting recording stability

• Fixed a case where recording a Google Meet — especially in the Dia browser — could stop on its own after a short time while you were presenting or screen-sharing. Hapi now keeps recording and relies on screen detection to end the meeting, so presentations are captured in full.

Cloud summaries fixed

• When using cloud AI (hybrid mode), a meeting could finish with a title but no summary or next steps if your OpenRouter balance was low or the chosen content model was a costly one. Hapi now uses a tighter token budget for summaries so requests stay affordable, and when a cloud request is rejected for billing it tells you clearly (add credits or pick a cheaper model) instead of silently producing nothing.

Fresh-install setup fixed

• On a clean install, Parakeet transcription and speaker diarization could get stuck permanently at "queued" while other models finished downloading. They now download and finish setup reliably.

Google Meet recording

• "Join & Record" no longer stops recording prematurely while you're still waiting in the Google Meet lobby before the call starts.

Anonymous usage metrics

• Hapi now shares anonymous, aggregate usage metrics so we can see which features get used and improve the app. It's on by default, with a disclosure — and never includes your audio, transcripts, meeting titles, entities, chat, or any personal data. Turn it off any time in Settings → Diagnostics.

Cloud summaries fixed

• Meeting summaries, action items, and entities now generate reliably in hybrid/cloud mode. Fixed a bug where they could come back empty even with a valid, funded OpenRouter key — the request was reserving the model's full token ceiling and getting rejected on modest balances.

Calendar linking for recordings

• A manual recording no longer attaches itself to an unrelated upcoming calendar event. Its title and participants are managed by AI instead.
• You can now link a recording to a calendar event yourself: in a meeting's Participants panel, tap + Add → Link to event and pick from your next events.

Under the hood

• Your OpenRouter API key now lives in the data-protection keychain, so it's shared cleanly across app updates and the background post-processing helper.

Essentials download — visibility & retry

• The "Finishing setup — downloading essentials" pill no longer silently stalls at 75% when one of the four background downloads fails. It now shows exactly which asset is downloading or stuck, and gives you a Retry button when something errors.
• Title-model retries now ramp 30 s → 2 min → 5 min before surfacing an error, giving flaky CDNs about 7.5 minutes to recover before bothering you.
• A 90-second stall watchdog flags downloads that are technically alive but no longer receiving bytes (NAT drops, CDN hiccups), so they fail visibly instead of hanging forever.
• New Settings → Required Models panel lists every essential with size, status, and per-asset Retry — plus an "Open models folder" shortcut to inspect what's actually on disk.

Onboarding — local model picker

• Step 2 now shows all three local content tiers (Good / Best / Pro) with the recommended one pre-selected for your Mac's RAM, instead of hiding the other two. Tiers above your RAM ceiling are dimmed with a "Needs 24 GB+" label.

Under the hood

• New automated test harness (storage fuzz, concurrency monkey, pipeline soak, UI smoke) — runs in CI / nightly to catch regressions before they ship. Silent in production.

Meeting titles

• Editing a meeting's title now actually persists. The save path was unawaited on a Sendable actor, so the SQL UPDATE was silently dropped in some build configurations — fixed by properly awaiting the write.
• Titles auto-save after one second of stopped typing; an inline "✓ Title saved" confirmation appears next to the action buttons and fades after 1.5 s.
• Database migration v64 repairs the FTS5 search indexes for titles and transcript content. A trigger bug in the previous schema corrupted the index every time you edited a title, eventually causing a "database disk image is malformed" error on any update; the new triggers use SQLite's documented external-content recipe and no longer corrupt the index.

Participants card

• The "+ Add" affordance in the Participants card is now always visible, so you can attach a person, company, or project to a meeting even when none are linked yet.
• Hovering over a participant reveals an "×" to remove them from the current meeting — matching the existing behaviour on company and project chips.

Semantic search install

• The GTE-Small download now resolves cleanly. The earlier 404 caused an "unzip exit 9" error on the Semantic Search row in Settings; the model is now hosted on the same R2 origin that serves the Hapi DMG.

Hybrid mode fixes plus visibility into when post-processing silently misses outputs.

Hybrid mode (OpenRouter)

• Summary, action items, and auto-title now run on cloud-only installs. Previously, installs without a local content model would silently skip those steps even when OpenRouter was configured for the route — meetings ended up transcribed but with no summary, no action items, and only the calendar title.

Diarization quality

• Meetings where one speaker dominates the captured audio, or where large silent stretches suggest weak system-audio capture, are now flagged with a warning banner in the transcript detail view instead of being marked "completed" without comment.

Diagnostics

• Post-processing worker exits now distinguish "all expected steps completed" from "process didn't crash". When a step is silently skipped (e.g. due to a missing provider), it is reported through the existing soft-fail telemetry channel so we can spot regressions in the field.
• Cloud LLM requests that fall back to local are recorded as diagnostic events with the route, provider, and error message.

Meeting recording

• "Start recording" from the Dashboard now uses the same canonical flow as the "Join & Record" notification — the calendar is refreshed on stale caches and the meeting's title, attendees, and platform are reliably retained through stop and post-processing.

Onboarding and first-run improvements. The DMG is now ~47 MB; Parakeet, diarization, VAD and the Qwen title model download on first launch so you only get what matches your hardware.

Onboarding

• "Essentials" progress now accurately reflects every required model — the Qwen 0.8B title model download is included and the bar climbs smoothly to 100% before you can continue.
• Saved OpenRouter keys are re-verified against the API on launch instead of trusted blindly, so a key revoked since a previous install no longer shows as "validated".
• "Start using Hapi" now reliably closes the onboarding window.

Hybrid mode

• The 1.4 GB local chat model no longer auto-downloads for users on Hybrid or Cloud — chat already runs through your OpenRouter key in those modes. Switching back to Local-only pulls it on demand.

Audio-capture fixes for browser meetings, plus stability and content-repurposing tweaks.

• System-audio capture: improvements to CoreAudioSystemTap and SystemAudioCaptureManager for Chromium-based browsers (Dia, Arc, Brave, Chrome, Edge) so meeting audio is captured reliably
• Meeting detection: refinements in MeetingDetectionManager for stricter active/inactive transitions
• App lifecycle: small AppDelegate tweaks
• Content repurposing: improvements in ContentRepurposingManager

Production release with all bundled models (Parakeet TDT v3, speaker diarization, silero-vad, Qwen3.5-0.8B title model, Qwen3-1.7B tools model) shipped inside the .app — no first-run model download required.

Launch reliability

• Fixes the AMFI launch rejection (POSIX 163 "Launchd job spawn failed") that affected 2.2.8 on macOS 26 — Release entitlements no longer claim APNS or iCloud entitlements that the Developer ID profile cannot authorize, and the embedded Apple Development provisioning profile is stripped from the shipped bundle.

Stability

• Stabilized post-processing and recording gates to prevent jetsam SIGKILL on constrained-RAM Macs
• Propagate OpenRouter API key to the post-processing worker so cloud LLM steps run reliably end-to-end
• Action-item LLM fallback skip and auto-title fallback under constrained RAM

Meetings & quality

• Hallucination filter and trusted-participants enforcement in meeting summaries
• Browser-authoritative ScreenCaptureKit guard and audio-capture telemetry
• Per-subtopic context, entity edit, and improved speaker attribution
• Scope conference-URL dedupe to start time and add month-aware day labels

Licensing & billing

• Lemon Squeezy billing provider with webhook validation and grandfathering for beta users
• License tier system (Free / Local / Pro) with runtime gates and locked-preview UI
• Sparkle update filter by tier and Free→Local backfill
• Email-gated trial download with v3 redesigned transactional emails

Onboarding & UI

• Onboarding refactor with passive permission probes and recovery pills
• How-it-works and disclaimer pages, warmer cream palette on website
• Free dashboard preview shows the real dashboard with mock data

Note: macOS↔iOS sync via CloudKit is disabled in this Release — re-enabling requires registering an iCloud Container against the Developer ID app ID in Apple Developer Portal.
