Hey everyone,

We're excited to massively improve our history management search feature!

You know that frustrating moment when you remember discussing something important in a meeting but can't find it in your endless list of transcripts? Those days are over.

And the best part? Everything stays completely private on your Mac, working even when you're offline.

Why This Matters

  2. Open your transcript history with >

  3. Try searching for a team member's name + a topic
