    Released July 10, 2026
    • Complete native Mac rewrite — faster, lighter, and built from the ground up for macOS.
    • On-device transcription, so your audio never leaves your Mac — a fast default engine, with Whisper as fallback.
    • Automatic speaker detection shows who said what in every transcript.
    • Subscribe to podcasts and YouTube channels, or bulk-import your existing subscriptions with OPML.
    • Watch folders transcribe local audio and video files automatically as soon as they land.
    • Export transcripts as Markdown, SRT, plain text, HTML, or the open OKF format.
    • Automatic proper-noun correction keeps names and terms consistent across transcripts.
    • Automate your workflow with the command-line tool, an MCP server for AI assistants, webhooks, and Notion/Obsidian sync.
    • Free forever for manual transcription, with Pro adding automatic background transcription — now available in English and German, with a privacy dashboard and automatic updates.
