Anarlog v1.4.0

Desktop downloads

• Download notarized macOS builds for Apple Silicon and Intel
• Receive matching 1.4.0 application and updater versions on macOS

Notes and editor

• Type more smoothly in long notes while Anarlog keeps continuous edits safely persisted
• Use refreshed typography, task checkboxes, mention and hashtag styles, and more compact formatting and slash-command menus
• Add underline formatting and type common arrows, fractions, smart quotes, ellipses, and highlighted text with familiar shortcuts
• Recall recently sent chat prompts with the Up and Down arrow keys while preserving the draft you were writing
• Wait for batch transcription to finish before chat answers from a recording, with guidance to use a Pro model for live transcript-aware chat
• Scroll notes only vertically; an enforced title no longer leaves a permanent horizontal scrollbar across the note

Updates and settings

• Let Anarlog download updates in the background and install them the next time the app opens, with a new setting to turn automatic updates off
• See upcoming meeting countdowns in a compact badge, and see Saved locally while Cloud Sync waits for an active recording or chat to finish
• Get a warning before combining Cloud Sync with an Anarlog storage folder managed by iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or another file syncing service
• Make a newly configured transcription or language-model provider current directly from the confirmation after saving its first API key
• Connect directly to Cohere, Groq, xAI, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Cerebras, Amazon Bedrock, or Google Vertex AI for summaries and chat
• Choose newer hosted AI models, including Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and GLM 5.2
• Restore excluded meeting apps reliably after startup and present cleaner, platform-aware settings and window controls
• See a refreshed, more consistent icon set throughout the app

Reliability and privacy

• Reopen Anarlog while it is already running without triggering startup-service errors
• Stop permanent AI generation and transcription failures from retrying indefinitely while preserving recovery for temporary failures
• Keep recording playback state and duration accurate when retained audio is removed or a deletion cannot complete
• Avoid macOS system-audio capture crashes during transient Core Audio setup and format changes
• Prevent on-device Parakeet live transcription from unexpectedly quitting Anarlog on macOS
• Keep live speaker labels within the actual remote-participant count for each audio channel
• Use compatible GPT-5.6 Terra settings and the corrected Parakeet CoreML batch model on affected M5 Macs
• Remove free-form note, transcript, request, breadcrumb, and device context from Sentry crash reports before they leave the app

Local AI on macOS

• Try Apple Intelligence as an experimental on-device text generation provider on supported macOS 26 devices
• Keep Apple Intelligence summaries readable by ending generated content at a complete sentence instead of cutting it off mid-thought

Developer tools

• Enable a device-local REST API from Settings → Developers to read meetings, notes, summaries, transcripts, history, and exports on every plan
• Create local API keys and signed webhooks for completed meetings and generated summaries while keeping the underlying data on your device
• Opt in to Cloud API & Connectors with Anarlog Pro for hosted REST and remote MCP access while the desktop app is closed; turning it off deletes the separate server-readable copies

Linux readiness

These changes are being prepared for the upcoming Linux release and are not included in the macOS-only 1.4.0 release:

• Detect active microphone streams more reliably and stop the detector cleanly when it is no longer needed
• Make notification body, button, option, footer, dismiss, and timeout actions work as expected

Transcription

• Hear microphone and system audio centered during recording playback while Anarlog preserves the original recording channels
• Use OpenAI's latest GPT Transcribe models for live and batch transcription, including language and keyword hints
• Choose Deepgram Flux for live transcription or Gladia Solaria 3 for batch transcription
• Connect directly to Cohere, Groq, xAI, Together AI, Speechmatics, Azure AI Speech, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, Amazon Transcribe, Rev AI, or Fireworks AI for transcription
• Use Apple Speech for private, on-device live and batch transcription on supported Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26
• Tell on-device transcription models apart in the picker, which now shows each one by name, such as Soniqo Parakeet Streaming and Apple Speech, instead of a single On device label, and gives Apple Speech its own mark
• Avoid duplicate Apple Speech phrases when live hypotheses are revised
• Detect the meeting language from your configured language choices instead of forcing multilingual recordings into code-switching mode
• Separate remote speakers during on-device Parakeet batch transcription, then label diarized speakers with known participant names when the transcript provides a high-confidence identity match
• Keep automatic speaker labels working when a summary mentions multiple participants in the same sentence
• Dismiss completed batch transcription notifications automatically after a short delay
• Re-transcribe large legacy WAV recordings through Anarlog Pro without hitting the cloud upload limit

On-device transcription remains available on supported Apple Silicon Macs. The upcoming Windows and Linux releases will initially use cloud transcription or your own provider key.
