What’s New

v0.1.28 · September 2026

This one is less about new features and more about trust — that the app doesn’t quit on you when a meeting ends, and that what you recorded and typed is all still there when you come back to it. It’s two releases in one: the reliability fixes planned for 0.1.27 ship together with 0.1.28, so updating from 0.1.26 gets you both.

Finishing a meeting no longer closes the app

Some characters take more than one byte to store. Chinese, Japanese and Korean text are like this, and so are emoji and even the em dash. A few places in Note67 cut text at a fixed length without checking where a character ended, and cutting one in half doesn’t produce a garbled word — it stops the app. So a summary with the wrong character in the wrong place could close Note67 right as a recording finished. Those places now cut between characters.

The same kind of bug sat behind a crash when opening a note that another note mentioned near non-English text. The panel responsible, “unlinked mentions”, is gone; it was on its way out anyway.

Recordings keep everything

A microphone-only recording could end with an empty transcript, and pausing one lost everything recorded before the pause. Continuing an older recording could overwrite it. And starting a second recording while one was already running could file the first meeting’s audio under the wrong note.

Mic-only recordings now work the same way as every other kind, pauses included, and continuing a recording adds to it. Only one recording runs at a time — which is almost always what you meant anyway.

Non-English meetings stay in their language

Live transcription used the language you picked, but the higher-quality pass that runs after you press Stop didn’t. Non-English meetings were re-transcribed in English, and the good transcript was replaced with a worse one. Your transcription language is now used everywhere.

Notes save as you type

Notes typed during a meeting were only saved when you clicked away from the editor, which is exactly what you don’t do in the middle of a call. They’re now saved as you type, and always before the summary is written, so the summary sees them. Clearing a note’s text sticks, and a save that fails is tried again instead of being dropped.

Recording doesn’t need Ollama

Recording needs a transcription model and nothing else. Ollama adds summaries, titles and tasks when it’s running, and if you start it after Note67, it’s picked up without choosing your model again. Summarize also no longer renames notes you’ve titled yourself — including a title you type while the summary is being written.

Tasks read the whole meeting

Finding tasks in a long meeting only saw part of it. It now reads the whole meeting, a piece at a time, and running it again doesn’t add the same tasks twice. Tasks you add yourself no longer get today’s date and turn overdue the next day. Deleting a task can be undone for a few seconds, subtasks included, and deleting a note tells you how many tasks go with it.

Meeting detection has an off switch

Detection can now be turned off in Settings > System, and the choice is remembered. It prompts once per call instead of again every time the call’s window title changes, never during a recording, and the prompt goes away a couple of minutes after the call ends. Having Teams or Discord open no longer counts as being in a meeting, and the prompt shows even when Note67 is closed to the menu bar.

Imports transcribe on arrival

Uploaded audio is transcribed as soon as it’s added, plays and transcribes on notes that have no recording of their own, and waits its turn when something else is transcribing instead of failing. Mono .m4a files — voice memos, mostly — were converted at half their length; they’re now full length. Opus files (.webm and some .ogg) aren’t supported yet, and now say so.

Summaries can’t act on their own

A summary is written by a model, and the model reads whatever was said in the meeting — including anything said on purpose to steer it. So this release makes sure nothing in a summary can act on its own:

• HTML in a summary is cleaned before it’s shown, and the app’s window has a Content Security Policy, so nothing in a note, transcript or summary can run code.
• Images from the web no longer load in notes or summaries. A summary can’t use one to send your notes to someone else’s server, and Note67 makes no requests for them. Images you paste into a note are stored with it and still show.
• The window can only reach your recordings and the files you choose to save, not the rest of Note67’s data.
• Links in summaries open in your browser instead of replacing the app, and the links in Settings and first-run setup work again.

Fixes under the hood

• Search works with hyphens, apostrophes, dots and email addresses.
• Right-click in the editor shows the normal Cut, Copy, Paste and spelling menu.
• New notes open on the Note tab, and search results open from anywhere, including the Tasks page.
• When Retranscribe fails, Note67 says why and keeps the transcript you had.
• The library the updater uses for secure connections is updated for a security advisory.
• About 2,500 lines of unused code and five unused libraries are gone.

As always: everything above happens on your device. No audio leaves your machine, and there’s no account to create.
