Changelog - Savory

September 2026

September 8

Terms of use, version 1.3

Section 8 now states what deleting a Savory account does to Savory Pro on each channel. In the version downloaded from savory.ai the Stripe subscription ends at once, a trial ends without a charge, and any time left in a paid period is not refunded. In the Mac App Store version the subscription is not cancelled by deleting the account and keeps renewing until you cancel it with Apple. The app states the same before you confirm a deletion.

September 6

Terms of use, version 1.2

Section 8 now states the refund position for both ways of buying Savory Pro: no refunds beyond what the law and the merchant of record require. Apple decides refunds for App Store purchases; Link support handles them for the version downloaded from savory.ai; the 14-day right of withdrawal for consumers in the EEA and the United Kingdom is unchanged.

August 2026

August 1 to 4

Savory on iPhone, rebuilt

The phone app was redrawn end to end: four tabs, one record action, and a drawer that holds the rest, replacing an anonymous "More" tab.
Today, the daily brief, and calendar in day, week and month views, with an event sheet and an event composer built to the drawn form.
A library that holds meetings, transcripts, tasks, people and search across all of them.
Settings drills in properly: an index, eleven panes, the connected-calendars sheet and a real account surface.
Student mode and Notes mode reached the phone, including the notebook tree, the editor and lecture capture.

August 4 to 5

Sync between your devices, and a menu bar that tells the truth

CloudKit sync was promoted to production, so a Mac and an iPhone signed into the same account keep the same transcripts, people, notes and coursework through your own iCloud.
The menu-bar item is always the Savory mark now, instead of swapping itself for a system glyph while recording.
The panel's two sections read real, date-scoped data. "No pending action items" used to be a hardcoded outcome.
Start a quick session from the panel and the panel knows: the glyph goes live and the elapsed time keeps counting, even through silence.
Leads stay current while the panel is open, and an hour-scale lead reads in hours rather than in minutes.

August 6 to 10

Live transcription, redrawn

The live screen lost roughly 335 points of chrome that used to sit above the first word, and the feed moved onto the main plane.
A speakers pane shows who has spoken so far, you first, built from confirmed rows only.
When the app clusters two people as one, you can re-assign a single block instead of correcting the whole meeting.
A live action items card means a meeting that never generates a summary still ends with its items.
After a summary, a keep list shows what was proposed and what near-duplicates it found, with discard as the only write.
The iPhone gained speaker assignment, which it did not have at all.

August 9 to 10

Nothing you delete disappears by accident

The trash records whether you deleted a row or the app removed it on your behalf, so a cascade is never attributed to you.
One control restores everything you deleted yourself, and deliberately nothing the app removed for you.
Delete forever, per row, when you want a thing gone now rather than in thirty days.
The trash empties itself after thirty days, and that sweep syncs to your other device.
The notes trash answers the same questions the same way.

August 11 to 12

Keeping up with the meeting

Live transcription structurally cannot fall behind a long meeting any more, accepted twice under soak.
Nine calendar and live-session fixes from a single device pass, each root-caused before any code changed.
All-day events now have one declared convention, so an all-day event stops shifting a day at a time-zone boundary.

August 24 to 27

The design revamp lands

The macOS design revamp closed after twenty-three build phases: one register for rows, panels, menus and confirms across every surface.
Notes mode was redrawn to the same register, closing the last surface still drawn in the older language.
Images go into a note now, by the toolbar, a drag or a paste, and their bytes sync with the note.
Eight conformance fixes from a walk of the shipped Meetings, Student and Notes surfaces against the drawings they were built from.
Email verification now runs before onboarding, so a first run no longer lands you on a code field with nothing explaining it.

August 25 to 29

Speakers, silence, and one interruption card instead of four

Speaker attribution accuracy was measured for the first time, and the roster now keys on the person with an evidence floor rather than on every cluster the diarizer produced.
A microphone whose format changed underneath the app used to capture nothing, silently. It adapts now, and says so when it cannot.
Four notification cards drawn in two visual languages became one component in two dresses, across all nine states.
The system notification says what actually happened and carries actions, instead of reading "Meeting reminder" over the event title with no buttons.

July 2026

July 4 to 8

The notes editor stops fighting you

Inline formatting applies to the range you selected, lists renumber on structural edits, and a mid-item return splits the item instead of the document.
Undo peels typing back a step at a time rather than erasing a paragraph.
Links are edited where the link is, and code fences stopped swallowing the line after them.
Recording alone files the session under you, so your own thinking gets a history too, and sessions recorded before that shipped are healed at launch.

July 9 to 10

Savory learns who is speaking

On the Mac, a transcript separates speakers instead of running one wall of text.
Name a voice once and Savory recognizes it in later meetings, with the voiceprint stored on your device and removable from settings.
The speaker separation models ship inside the app, so nothing is fetched from anywhere to make this work.
A person's meeting history reads per instance, past meetings only, and every row opens the meeting it came from.

July 14 to 16

Search that shows you the match, and a calendar event that carries its own work

Search highlights every match, and reaches attendee names, note titles, note tags and courses, not just transcript text.
A calendar event carries its summary, its action items and its transcript in tabs on its own detail panel.
Quitting mid-session preserves it; it finalizes as a transcript on next launch.
Microphone bleed is reconciled against the system audio, so the same sentence stops arriving twice.
The live feed groups continuous speaker turns instead of breaking on every pause.
Action items can be renamed, and created by hand when the meeting did not produce one.

July 17

Echo cancellation, reminders, settings, and the modes you actually use

Echo cancellation is on by default on macOS: on speakers, the other side's voice no longer transcribes as you.
Meeting reminders became app-owned banners with a graceful handoff to the operating system when the app is not frontmost.
Settings moved from a floating window to a routed page with its own navigation.
Onboarding asks which of Meetings, Student and Notes you want, in any combination, and remembers it per account.

July 19 to 20

A calendar you can write to

Edit events you organize, and drag them to reschedule in day, week and month, with keyboard and VoiceOver paths for the same move.
Savory backfills your calendar history instead of starting from the day you connected it.
Tapping a chip on the month surface opens the event panel, and the number of chips a day shows is derived from the height available.
Reminder banners got a shorter shape and a chime you choose in settings.

July 25

Time zones, and documents you can actually read

Times read in the right zone across every surface, and the app notices when yours changes and reconciles your reminders to it.
Summaries and transcripts read as selectable documents, and the transcript has a find bar.
Email a summary to yourself, over a real send path.
Completed action items are scoped to their owner, so "completed" stops meaning "completed by anyone".

July 26 to 28

The meeting can start and stop itself

Savory watches your calendar and which applications are using audio, so a meeting nobody put on a calendar can still be offered.
Three settings rather than a switch: prompt, which is the default, auto-start with a five-second countdown you can cancel, or off.
A separate opt-in offers to stop a session once the meeting appears to be over, and an ignored offer keeps recording.
macOS gained a real first-run flow instead of dropping you into an empty app.
The sidebar collapses.
The iPhone shows words as you speak them, from its microphone. Separating speakers stays a Mac feature, because only the Mac hears the other side of the call.

June 2026

June 22 to 25

Two more modes

Student mode: terms, courses, class schedules, coursework and lecture capture, kept apart from your work data.
Notes mode: notebooks, backlinks, search and a trash, with a Markdown editor that renders as you type.
A share extension puts text into Savory from anywhere on the Mac.

June 23

Apple Calendar joins Google

Connect an Apple calendar with no token dance, alongside any Google calendars you already had.
Per-source visibility and a color per source, so two calendars in one week stay legible.
Note attachments sync their bytes, not just their rows.

June 27

More than one account

Link identities to one account, switch between accounts, and delete one without touching the others.
Each account keeps its own database, so switching accounts does not mix two people's meetings.
Signing in with an identity that already belongs somewhere raises an interstitial instead of silently choosing for you.

June 29 to 30

A microphone you can trust, and a record button that is always there

A silent-input watchdog notices when a microphone is delivering nothing, rather than letting a whole meeting run empty.
Choose your input device, and keep the session when that device disappears mid-meeting.
Capture the other side of the call only, when that is what you want.
Record whenever you want, not only when a meeting is on the calendar, and ask Savory to record one when it starts.

What changed, in plain language.
