Changelog - Savory

October 2026

October 3

Savory 1.0.9 for Mac

Quitting Savory while it syncs a large backlog no longer waits for the sync to finish. It closes within seconds, and the next launch picks up where it left off.
The speech model you choose in Settings, under Transcription, is the one that transcribes, and it stays chosen after a relaunch or an update.
A speech model's Download button no longer depends on how much memory other apps are using at the moment. Your Mac qualifies by its total memory.
Savory checks the speech model's files once per launch, and again only if a file changes, instead of before every recording.
Insights no longer closes Savory after a meeting's summary has been regenerated.
A new account sees Savory's welcome page once, when first setup finishes.
Settings, under Account, has an Ad measurement switch. It helps Savory learn which of its ads work: when someone who came from a Savory ad signs up or subscribes, Savory lets that ad platform know.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.0 or later at its next daily check.

October 12

Savory 1.0.10 for Mac

On macOS 27, importing a PDF transcript keeps every speaker turn on its own line. A tightly spaced PDF used to read as one speaker with words run together.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.0 or later at its next daily check.

October 14

Savory 1.0.11 for Mac

Home calls the meeting that is going on right now Up next, with its Record it and Join & record buttons, even when another meeting follows later today. It used to list the later meeting as next and put the one in progress under After that.
While a meeting is on, the Columns view reads its time range with the word now, and the Spine view says In progress until its end time.
Every countdown on Home counts the minutes the way the menu bar does, so the two never disagree.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.0 or later at its next daily check.

October 15

Savory 1.0.12 for Mac

Removing a name from a speaker, or picking a different person, now updates every part of that meeting that shows the name. Undo puts all of it back.
After you remove someone's name, Savory stops giving that name to new speakers for the rest of the meeting. Picking that person again turns it back on.
While the other side of a call is talking, the live line at the bottom shows the person speaking now, instead of whoever started that line.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.0 or later at its next daily check.

October 15

Savory 1.0.13 for Mac

If your microphone stops working during a meeting, the transcript of the other side of the call keeps updating instead of freezing.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.0 or later at its next daily check.

September 2026

September 2 to 15

Notes formatting that does what you meant

On the Mac, turn on bold with nothing selected and what you type next is bold. Bold italic leaves no stray marks, and applying a format that is already there removes it instead of doubling it.
Formatting whole list items, tasks or headings keeps them as list items, tasks and headings.
The Delete key moves the selected note to the trash, and asks first.
In the notes trash, select several notes and delete them forever together, or empty the trash in one step.
New note is the main button in the top bar while you are in Notes.

September 3 to 15

Action items, docked and easier to hand off

On the Mac, an item's details dock beside the list instead of covering it, whenever the window is wide enough.
In the action items trash, select several items and delete them forever together, or empty the trash in one step.
Assign an item to you, to someone else by searching your people, or to no one. The people from that meeting are offered before you search.
Hovering over and scrolling the list no longer lag once a row is selected.

September 4 to 13

Due dates, suggested by the meeting and set where you see them

On the Mac, set or change an action item's due date from the meeting's Actions tab or from a person's page, not only from Action Items.
Both places show due dates the way Action Items does: Today, Tomorrow, a weekday, or Overdue with the date.
After a summary, the review suggests a due date for each item from what was said in the meeting. Nothing is dated until you keep it.
Change or clear any suggestion in the review, or clear them all at once.

September 5

Close the window, and get it back as you left it

Close the main window and bring it back from the menu bar or the Dock, and it returns on the same account and the same screen.
Open Savory in the Window menu, or ⌘0, brings it back too.
Signing out from a window you reopened takes you straight to sign in, instead of leaving the window stuck.
The window keeps its size and position when you quit and open Savory again.

September 8 to 9

Live transcription keeps up with the call

The other side of the call reaches the transcript sooner.
Your own words no longer wait seconds behind the other side's.
Music playing under a conversation no longer takes the words around it out of the transcript.
When the model starts repeating a phrase, the repeats are caught and dropped instead of filling the feed.
A sentence reads as one line in the live feed and in the transcript, instead of breaking across several rows.

September 12 to 13

The floating recorder, redrawn

Stop asks before it ends the session, in the recorder's own window, the same question every other Stop asks.
Space pauses, ⌘W hides the recorder, and ⌘. asks to stop.
Drag it anywhere: it snaps to the edge of the screen, stays clear of the menu bar and the Dock, and moves onto your other display with the pointer.

September 14

Deleted meetings and lectures go to the trash

On the Mac, deleting a meeting used to be permanent. It now goes to the trash, where you can restore it or delete it forever.
Lectures can be deleted now, from the list, with the Delete key, or while you read one, and they have a trash of their own.
Select several and delete them forever together, or empty the trash in one step.
The trash empties itself on the same schedule as your other trashes.

September 17

Savory 1.0.0 for Mac

The first public release. Download it from savory.ai for a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later.
Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS checks it before it opens.
Savory checks for a new version once a day and never installs one without asking. An update waits until you stop recording.
Settings and the About window show the version you run: 1.0.0.

September 22

Savory 1.0.1 for Mac

The Account card listed Password twice on some Macs, one row marked as the current sign in. It now lists each way you sign in once, and an installed copy corrects itself the first time it opens.
Continue with Google signs in again. That fix was made on the account service on September 22, so every installed copy already has it.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.0 at its next daily check.

September 22

Savory 1.0.3 for Mac

Record it on Home, under the next meeting, now records that meeting: its name, its calendar link and its attendees, the same as Record in the calendar. Before this it started a recording called Quick recording.
Record in the top bar still starts a quick recording, as it should.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.2 at its next daily check.

September 27

Savory 1.0.7 for Mac

Import a transcript from another app and Savory keeps it as a meeting of its own: a Microsoft Teams file, a caption file, a text or Markdown export, a Word document, a PDF, or text you paste. Import transcript sits beside Record in the top bar and in the File menu.
An imported meeting syncs, shows up in search, gets a summary and action items like any other, and can be attached to a calendar event or given a new one.
Add attendees when you create a meeting in Savory: type any email address, or search the people Savory knows. Each attendee receives a Google Calendar invitation.
Edit the attendees of a meeting you organize. Add or remove guests, and everyone who already replied keeps their reply. Turn on Notify guests to send invitations to the people you add.
A meeting can start recording on its own. In Settings, under Meeting detection, choose Start recording, and Savory begins after a short countdown you can cancel. The Ask before each meeting setting now sits in the same place, so you can see what it does to that choice.
Open Savory at login, from Settings under General, so it watches your calendar after a restart.
Stop when the meeting ends: Savory stops on its own when the meeting app closes or the room stays quiet, after a 30 second warning you can cancel. Choose how long the quiet lasts before it stops, from 1 minute to 30 minutes.
When your next meeting begins while one is still recording, Savory asks whether to keep recording or switch, and a card confirms when it has stopped listening.
Savory offers this update to every Mac running 1.0.4 or later at its next daily check.

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.
