Hey all,
Louis here. Massive two weeks. New speech engine, full native macOS overhaul, meeting detection on every platform, and 150+ fixes.
Please update the app, it might be outdated.
NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2 is now the default transcription engine. Faster and more accurate than Whisper for English. CoreML on macOS, DirectML on Windows. Whisper still available as fallback.
Replaced web-based notifications with a native SwiftUI panel. Markdown support, clickable links, file paths, per-pipe muting, notification history, and a bell icon to manage everything. No more focus stealing.
Collapsible SwiftUI pill at the bottom of your screen. Live audio levels, screen capture status, meeting indicators. Expands on hover to reveal timeline, chat, and search shortcuts. Whisper Flow-inspired design.
- Discord, Zoom (desktop + web), Google Meet, Microsoft Teams — all detected reliably
- Calendar-assisted speaker diarization — matches speakers to your calendar attendees
- Auto-suggest attendees and notes from screen recordings
- Browser-based meeting detection via DB lookup
- Windows: UIA CacheRequest batching for Teams/Electron apps
- Fixed false positives from Discord/Google Calendar pages
Track AI token usage across all presets. Filter by 24h/7d/30d. Per-model breakdowns with cost tier badges. Cached for instant loading.
Screenpipe now detects DRM-protected content (Netflix, etc.) in browser and pauses recording automatically. Enabled by default with a toggle in privacy settings.
New screenpipe doctor CLI subcommand — diagnoses permissions, audio devices, and system health.
Watch your pipes run in real-time. Execution history streams live output. View results directly in chat. Auto-saves.
