0.1.14.247Mac & Windows 0.2.247
The iPhone keyboard takes you back, and rebuilt meetings can be split
After you start dictating with Chui's iPhone keyboard, Chui now takes you back to the app you were typing in by itself. Before, you were left on the screen asking you to swipe back, even in apps where going back by itself was meant to work.
When you dictate into Chrome, Chui's iPhone keyboard now shows the swipe-back screen straight away, with the microphone already on. Before, Chui first tried to reopen Chrome, the iPhone refused, and an error came up.
When the microphone stops sending sound during a dictation with Chui's iPhone keyboard, the dictation now ends within about four seconds. Any words already heard are typed, and the keyboard tells you the microphone stopped. Before, it could keep showing that it was listening for about two and a half minutes while hearing nothing.
A meeting that Chui put together after the recording device stopped sending can now be split, or joined with another meeting, straight away. Before, it kept saying to try again in a few minutes, and could keep saying it for good if the device never came back. If that device later sends the rest of its recording, the part Chui did not have arrives as a separate meeting.
On a Windows computer that sleeps during a recording, the time it was asleep no longer counts as missing sound, so the meeting is no longer marked as cut short because of it. A meeting recorded overnight now also shows the right time of day; before, it could be filed hours late.
An all-day recording is now worked through from its real beginning. Before, Chui could give up on some all-day recordings at the very start, and in some cases it could skip the first few seconds.
0.1.14.246Mac & Windows 0.2.246
A new feel for the iPhone keyboard, and recordings that survive sleep
Chui's iPhone keyboard now has keys that look and behave like the iPhone's own. Holding a letter shows its accented versions in a row above it, dragging your finger along the space bar moves the cursor, and holding delete speeds up the longer you hold it. With Full Access, each key also clicks and gives a light tap you can feel.
On Chui's iPhone keyboard, two spaces now type a full stop only when you tap them quickly one after the other, right after a letter or a digit.
On a Windows computer that goes to sleep during a recording, Chui now carries on recording as soon as the computer wakes, and "Stop" finishes straight away. The time the computer was asleep is shown as a gap in the meeting. Before, nothing said after the computer woke was recorded, and "Stop" could take about sixteen minutes.
On an Android phone, discarding a short recording that you had paused no longer leaves the recorder stuck. Before, Chui could stop answering and was unable to record again.
Jumping near the end of a meeting's recording now works even if the recording has just become shorter. The player finds the new length and carries on. Before, playback could fail with an error.
0.1.14.245Mac & Windows 0.2.245
Calmer buttons and headings on the meetings and add screens
In the "More" menu on a computer, "Delete" now sits apart in its own group, as it does in the phone's slide-up menu. Before, it was right under the item above it, at the same spacing.
In a summary, the mark that shows where a photo was taken is now a small grey label. Before, it was an outlined box that read like a word in the sentence.
When your company offers you a place in its team, the button to turn the offer down is now only as wide as its words. Before, it was as wide as the "Request for a seat" button.
In "Add to this meeting", the close button is now a plain disc instead of a ringed circle. The buttons to take a photo, "Choose photos" and "Add a file" are now plain grey with no outline, and photos still keep their thin frame. The "Add a file" button on the sheet for sending a promise is plain grey too, where it used to have a dashed outline.
On "Meetings", the heading above the "Coming up" card is no longer in capital letters. It is now "Coming up", in the same grey type as the day names.
0.1.14.244Mac & Windows 0.2.244
Key pop-up on the iPhone keyboard, and fuller call audio on Windows
On Chui's iPhone keyboard, the key you press now pops up enlarged above your finger, and each press gives a light tap you can feel. The tap only works when the keyboard has Full Access, because the iPhone requires it. If you slide your finger onto another key before lifting, that key is now typed, and sliding off the keys types nothing; before, the key you first touched was typed.
On Windows, Chui now records the other side of a call whatever speakers or headset it plays through. Before, a call heard through a headset or through a device other than the main output could be recorded as silence for the whole meeting, leaving only your own voice.
On an iPhone, when something other than a phone call interrupts a recording while Chui is in the background and the phone does not give the microphone back, "Open Chui to keep recording" now arrives straight away instead of about five seconds later, so less of the meeting is missed. In that case the notification now says "The recording stopped on its own and iOS will not give the microphone back." Before, it said a call had ended even when there had been no call.
0.1.13.243Mac & Windows 0.2.243
Dictation keeps your words through a bad connection
When you dictate with Chui's keyboard on an iPhone or an Android phone and the connection drops partway through, Chui now reconnects and carries on, and nothing you said is lost. Before, everything said after the connection stalled was lost. If the connection stays down for about a minute, Chui types what did come through and tells you the end did not arrive so you can say it again.
Starting dictation on a Mac, an iPhone or an Android phone no longer fails when the server is slow to answer at the start; Chui now waits a little longer and asks once more. Before, a slow start could throw the dictation away, and on a phone keyboard it sometimes never started at all.
On an Android phone, pressing "Stop" after a long meeting recorded in the background now finishes in moments. Before, it could take more than ten minutes, while the screen still showed how long the meeting was when you last looked at it. No audio was lost while it waited.
On an iPhone, a meeting the server had already put together no longer gets stuck waiting to upload and then reports that its audio is missing. The phone now sends the full recording it still holds, and the meeting is transcribed from that copy.
Going back to "Meetings" from a meeting now returns you to the meeting you were looking at, at the same place on screen. Before, the list sometimes came back a little higher or lower than where you left it.
0.1.13.242Mac & Windows 0.2.242
Clearer sign-in help on iPhone, and dictation fixed in two languages
On an iPhone, when the Apple sign-in window does not open, Chui now says so and points you to "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Microsoft" just above, every time it happens. It used to suggest signing in another way without naming one, and on a second try it named no other way at all. If the Google window then fails too, Chui points you to Microsoft rather than back to Apple.
Dictation in Brazilian Portuguese and in Serbian written in Latin letters now works on a phone, a Mac and Windows. It used to fail as soon as it started.
While you wait for a company to answer your request for a seat, the team screen now says that "Carry on alone" takes the request back.
When "People" cannot load because there is no connection, the button to try again now sits right under the message. On the sign-in page in a wide window, the small heading above the sign-in buttons no longer looks like the last word of the line above it.
On the call screen, the buttons to cancel and to try again, and the buttons to accept or turn down a suggested label, are now plain grey buttons with no outline.
0.1.12.241Mac & Windows 0.2.241
No visible changes in this build
This build changes nothing you can see or use. Everything in it is work behind the scenes, and Chui looks and behaves exactly as it did in the previous build.
0.1.12.240Mac & Windows 0.2.240
Phone recordings stay in one piece again, and company meetings are read
On a phone, "New recording" again makes one recording that runs until you press "Stop". In the last two builds it split itself into separate meetings at each long silence. That could cut one conversation into several meetings, and after an interruption such as a call it could stop hearing anything while still showing that it was recording, so part of a meeting was never recorded. A recording already running in that split way when this build arrives carries on to its end, and nothing it has already saved is lost.
On an iPhone, a recording that splits itself on silence now asks for the microphone again after an interruption such as a call, and gets it back. It used to stay deaf for a minute or more while it kept retrying. If Chui is closed during such a gap, the gap is still noted on the meeting.
A meeting recorded on a locked phone by a member of a paying company is no longer stopped as "Over the limit". Meetings that were already stopped this way are now read and summarised by themselves, with nothing for you to do.
0.1.12.239Mac & Windows 0.2.239
Android recordings split on silence, and steadier dictation
On Android 10 and newer, a recording now splits itself into separate meetings at each long silence, as it does on an iPhone, and each meeting is uploaded when it ends even if Chui is not open. If you swipe away the card showing that Chui is recording, it comes back.
On Android, when the phone's own audio system failed during a recording, Chui could lose about half a minute of the meeting before it noticed. It now starts recording again at once.
Dictation from the Chui keyboard on a phone, and on a Mac or Windows, no longer fails when the connection drops for a moment as it starts. Chui asks again and keeps what you said, even if you press "Stop" in the meantime.
When a promise from a meeting is a list, such as a shopping list, it now goes to your to-do list as one task with each item as its own step, in the order it was said. It used to arrive as one task holding the whole list. Its card shows the heading first and the items after it in lighter type.
On Android, "Restore purchases" now asks Google Play again when the connection to it drops for a moment, instead of failing. A conversation with Chui that cannot connect now says so; it used to say that a purchase had failed.
Speaker names on a meeting, the buttons under ticked meetings, the answers to a question on a wide screen, the assistants you have not chosen and "Hide" on promise cards are now plain grey buttons with no outline. A meeting's summary can no longer be scrolled sideways into empty space, and the "Pro" mark on the calls switch now fades behind the question that the switch opens.
0.1.12.238Mac & Windows 0.2.238
iPhone recordings split on silence, and calls from the main screen
On an iPhone, every recording now splits itself into separate meetings at each long silence, so back-to-back conversations come back as one meeting each, and each one appears in "Meetings" as soon as it ends. A recording still stops at your time limit, 12 hours unless you chose another.
On an iPhone, the recording screen keeps your notes, the "Photo or file" button and "Stop", and has no "Pause" button. A note goes with the meeting it was typed in, and a note typed during a silence goes with the meeting that follows.
Calling through Chui is now a switch in "Settings", off by default. With it on, a round phone button sits next to search on the main screen and opens the call. On a free account the switch is marked "Pro", and pressing it offers Chui Pro first.
A free account can now ask Chui as many questions as it likes about its own meetings. The count of questions left, and the card that appeared when they ran out, are gone.
A call recorded through Chui that the other person hangs up is no longer marked "Recording was cut short" when nothing is missing from it.
0.1.12.237Mac & Windows 0.2.237
Recordings stop at 12 hours, and a steadier meetings list
Every recording now stops by itself at a time limit you choose in "Settings": 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours, with 12 as the default. The "no limit" choice is gone; if you had picked it, your recordings now stop at 12 hours. A recording that was cut into pieces on silence stops at the limit too, and keeps everything it recorded.
On a phone, coming back to "Meetings" from "Settings", a meeting or "People" no longer shows an empty list for a moment before the meetings reappear. The list you last saw stays on screen, and new meetings are added to it.
On a phone, when you pick a workspace or label, its name now appears on its own line under the "Meetings" and "People" switch, so it is clear the list shows only those meetings. A long name wraps instead of pushing the screen sideways. On a wide screen, the account corner at the foot of the side bar no longer stays coloured while "Settings" is open.
The card saying Chui is missing permissions, and the permissions place in "Settings", now show a switch instead of the padlock used for locked meetings, so a missing permission no longer looks like something to pay for. On a person's page, section names such as "Recurring topics" and "Meetings" are no longer in capitals, like everywhere else in the app.
A meeting someone shared with you now shows its name in the same lettering as your own meetings. It used to look as if it came from a different app.
0.1.12.236Mac & Windows 0.2.236
Recordings kept after an app close, and the Chui number with Pro
On a Mac or Windows, a meeting could end up with no recording at all if Chui closed while it was still stopping. Chui now finds that recording the next time it opens and uploads it into the meeting you started, notes included.
On a Mac, Chui could stop ringing for incoming calls once its calling line had dropped and given up reconnecting, and stay silent until the next day. It now signs the line back in by itself and rings again.
In the US, a Chui number now comes with Chui Pro. When Pro ends, calls stop, and the number is kept for thirty days so that subscribing again brings the same number back.
A long recording with only one voice in it, running for hours, now also comes back as a short note. It could be read as two voices and treated as a meeting.
On a Mac, pressing Copy on a dictation threw the list of past dictations to the very bottom. The list now stays where it was, and "Copied" appears under the dictation you pressed.
In the "Dark" appearance, quiet buttons and chips have a visible edge and fill again, and grey secondary text is a little lighter. On a phone, the "Meetings" and "People" halves of the switch no longer touch, and the share, search and three-dot buttons on a meeting have space between them again.
0.1.11.235Mac & Windows 0.2.235
A new look, voice memos, and talking to Chui on iPhone
Chui has a new look: a warmer page, meetings shown as flat rows, and the switch between "Meetings" and "People" at the top of the screen on a phone.
A recording with only one voice in it, such as a thought you speak to yourself, can now come back as a short note: the thought itself, tidied up, with no headings or speaker names, and marked with a lightbulb in your meetings. A recording you share into Chui now carries its file's name from the start. It used to show "Untitled" until the summary arrived.
On an iPhone, the "Recover" button for an unfinished recording could fail every time it was pressed. Such a recording is now recovered as a meeting, and the card at the top of your meetings no longer appears for a meeting that is already saved in full.
On an iPhone, the Action Button, Control Center or asking Siri to talk to Chui now opens a spoken conversation with Chui. During a recording it says it cannot, and the way back to the recording stays at the bottom of the screen.
On Android, the Chui keyboard now shows a full keyboard while you are not speaking, your words as you say them, and a check mark to type them.
On a Mac, a spoken request in a hands-free conversation could be dropped without a word when Chui stopped hearing it partway. Chui now listens to it once more, and says so if it still did not work. Dictation on a Mac also pastes sooner after you finish speaking.
0.1.10.234Mac & Windows 0.2.234
Calls inside Chui, and easier permissions on Mac and Windows
Calls through Chui can now be placed and answered inside the app on a Mac, on Windows, at chui.io and on iPhone, without your phone ringing first. Calls to your Chui number ring the app like any phone call, including on a locked phone, and on iPhone you can answer from a headset or the car.
On a Mac, Chui now asks for each permission with the Mac's own prompt where it can, and opens System Settings only when there is no other way. For Accessibility and Input Monitoring, a small panel sits under the System Settings window with a Chui icon to drag into the list, and Chui comes back to the front once the switch is on. When a switch shows on but Chui still has no permission, the row explains this and, on the copy downloaded from chui.io, fixes it with one press.
On Windows, when the microphone is blocked, Chui now walks through the three Windows microphone switches in order and marks the one that is off. It also explains that the last switch is the one that covers Chui, because Chui is not listed by name. A new button beside the row listens for a second and says what it found. If every switch is on but nothing is heard, it points to the mute key, the camera shutter and the sound settings instead.
On a Mac or Windows, a quick double tap of the fn key now starts a hands-free conversation with Chui, and Chui says hello first in the language you used. A double tap held down lets you talk until you let go.
On a Mac, a dictation you had just started could be cancelled when the previous one finished pasting, and what you were saying was lost. That no longer happens. On the copy downloaded from chui.io, pressing Copy on the dictation card now leaves you in the app you were in. It used to bring Chui to the front.
On an iPhone, a meeting already saved in full could also appear in the card at the top of your meetings as an unfinished recording to recover, and recovering it saved the conversation twice. The phone's copy now joins the meeting as normal, and the card no longer appears.
0.1.9.233Mac & Windows 0.2.233
Record all day on iPhone, and a Chui keyboard for phones
On an iPhone, a new switch in Settings, under "Recording", lets Chui record all day. With it on, one press of "New recording" starts the day, and Chui finds each meeting by itself, sends it to be transcribed as soon as it ends, even with the phone locked, and does not send the silence in between. While the day runs, a card at the top of "Meetings" shows when it started listening and how many meetings it has found.
There is now a Chui keyboard for iPhone and Android. Tap its microphone in any app and your words are typed where the cursor is. On Android it replaces the tile in the quick settings panel. On an iPhone, the first tap opens Chui once, and after that the keyboard listens for five minutes. The Action Button then opens this keyboard's listening screen instead of copying the dictation for you to paste.
On Windows, a long meeting could lose several seconds of your own voice at a time, more than once, when the microphone slowly fell behind the meeting audio. That no longer happens.
When you ask Chui a question about your meetings and the connection drops, Chui now checks whether the answer arrived and shows it. Before, it said the question had failed and left out an answer that had in fact been written.
On a Mac, Command-Option-V now pastes the clipboard as a quote with every line break, indent and list item kept as it was. It used to run a list together into one paragraph. Dictation and this paste now also work in apps that draw their own text, such as some code editors, where they used to show a card instead of pasting.
On Android, when the connection to the app store drops for a moment, Chui now asks again. Before, the "Subscription" screen could be left with no price to press.
0.1.9.232Mac & Windows 0.2.232
No visible changes in this build
This build changes nothing you can see or use in Chui. Everything in it is behind the scenes, and the app works exactly as it did in the previous build.
0.1.8.231Mac & Windows 0.2.231
Mac dictation names a silent microphone and pastes into Mail
On a Mac, when a dictation hears only silence, Chui now names the microphone that was listening and opens the list of microphones so you can pick another. It used to tell you to restart Chui, which did not help. That advice now appears only when an update is actually waiting to be installed.
On a Mac, dictation now pastes into the body of a new message in the Mail app. It used to stop with a message saying the text could not be placed there.
Dictation is now treated as Pro whenever any account you can switch to from the same sign-in has Pro, such as a paid company account. It used to stop at the free weekly word limit and offer "Get Pro" if the account open at the time was not paid. Your words are still counted under the account that is open. The screen for your own dictation styles now checks your plan again before offering to take a payment.
The help pages at chui.io/help now cover the previous build's changes. The box for asking Chui is there from the start, a summary that could not be written is retried every hour for about a day, and on Chui Pro a label can be given a summary shape of its own.
0.1.8.230Mac & Windows 0.2.230
Summaries retried for a day, and Settings grouped under headings
On the "Meetings" screen, the box for asking Chui about your meetings is now there from the moment the app opens. It used to slide in a couple of seconds later and shrink the "New recording" button to a round one, so a tap aimed at one could land on the other. It now also shows when you have no meetings yet.
When a meeting's summary cannot be written because of a fault on our side, Chui now keeps trying every hour for about a day, instead of giving up after five and a half hours. A problem overnight no longer leaves meetings waiting until you press "Write the summary again".
Settings now groups its sections under short headings, such as "Team", "Meetings", "Privacy" and "About", and on a phone "Subscription" can be seen without scrolling. In the Settings window on a Mac, the search field no longer makes the list of sections wider than it should be.
On Chui Pro, you can now teach Chui a summary shape of your own, once, through an AI assistant connected to Chui: give it to a label, and meetings with that label follow it, or give it to a recurring meeting, and every meeting in the series follows it. The assistant pages on chui.io describe this.
On the screen for placing a call, the call button below the keypad had shrunk to a sliver on a phone and was missing on a wide screen; it is now shown in full. On a Mac and on chui.io in the Light appearance, the two quieter buttons at the step where you enter the code to confirm your number now have a visible outline.
When you delete your account, the box where you type the confirming word now opens empty. It used to show that word in grey, so it looked filled in while "Delete account" stayed unavailable. On chui.io, the sheet that opens from the notice that a meeting is ready no longer draws a bright outline around "Cancel".
0.1.7.229Mac & Windows 0.2.229
Whole accounts imported, and recordings Chui already has
On an iPhone, Android phone and chui.io, you can now import a whole account exported from another meeting-notes service, as a zip of transcripts or a spreadsheet file, and every meeting in it becomes a meeting in Chui. Each one is transcribed and summarised as usual. The phones now also take a single transcript or subtitle file, not only audio. Importing the same export again creates no duplicates.
On an iPhone, a meeting Chui had rebuilt could stay stuck in the upload queue and then be marked as having lost its audio, even though the whole recording had reached us. This no longer happens.
On a Mac, pressing Command, Option and V pastes the clipboard as a quote, with each line starting with the quote mark used in email and chat replies, wrapped neatly and with paragraphs kept. It is on by default and can be switched off in the dictation settings. Pressing the keys anywhere other than a text field still does what it did before.
When a meeting is clearly an interview, a stand-up, a sales call or a lesson, its summary can now take a shape suited to that kind of meeting. Every other meeting keeps the usual summary, and next steps and open questions always stay at the end.
Search now finds the other forms of a word, so "meeting" also finds "meetings", in most of Chui's languages. AI assistants connected to Chui can now list, read, rename and delete your conversations with Chui. The help pages at chui.io/help now match the app as it is, with a new page on asking Chui about your meetings.
0.1.7.228Mac & Windows 0.2.228
Dictation during meetings, and AirPods as a Mac microphone
On a Mac or Windows computer, dictation now works while a meeting is being recorded, on its own, without disturbing the recording. Before, pressing the dictation key during a recording did nothing. A conversation that starts with "hey Chui" still does not start during a recording, and one already under way ends when a recording starts.
On a Mac, AirPods in a call are now recorded as the microphone. Before, Chui refused them, so your side of the meeting went to another microphone, or was not recorded at all on a Mac without one.
On Android, a meeting could be lost if you pressed "Stop" and locked the phone before it had finished uploading, and the next launch said nothing about it. Chui now keeps running until the upload is done, so this no longer happens.
On an iPhone, "Share this meeting" could open scrolled part-way down and not respond to taps. It now opens at its title, below the clock. While a meeting is locked, the "QR code" button is no longer offered, because its link opens nothing until then.
If you have used this month's free meetings but you are also in a company that has Pro, Chui now points you there: the card above "Meetings" offers to switch to the company, and pressing "Record" first asks which of the two to record in. "Get Pro" is still offered for your own meetings.
In "People", a person's row now reads like "2 meetings · today 09:44". Before, it could look like two meetings today. A meeting recorded before signing in is now named like "Meeting, today 14:05" instead of with a numeric date. On a phone, the search field in Settings is easier to tap, and on a Mac in the Dark appearance, the highlighted section of the Settings window now stands out. When a card payment fails, its button now says that it changes the card or cancels, instead of "Manage".
0.1.7.227Mac & Windows 0.2.227
Mac dictation that no longer ends in silence
On a Mac, a dictation could sometimes type nothing and show nothing, even though its sound had been saved. Now, if the live transcription fails, Chui transcribes the saved sound again and types the words where your cursor is. If that fails too, a card on the dictation bar says the sound is saved, with a button that opens your dictation history.
On a Mac, if the microphone you picked was not available when you started a dictation and another device heard no speech, the dictation used to end with nothing on screen. Now a card names the device that was listening, with a button that opens the dictation bar's list of microphones.
On a Mac, dictation could wait half a minute or more before typing when Chui's window was closed. It now stops tidying up your words after about five seconds and types them as heard. A connection that stops taking sound now fails within seconds instead of after a minute, so a failed dictation can be recovered sooner.
0.1.7.226Mac & Windows 0.2.226
Search in Settings, and help with missing permissions
Settings now has a search field: type the name of any setting, or one of its choices, and Chui opens the right page, scrolls to it and briefly highlights it. Before, you could only open the sections one by one.
On a Mac or Windows computer, a card at the top of "Meetings" names any permission the computer has not given Chui yet, and stays until all are given. It leads to a list in Settings that says what stops working without each one, where its switch is, and has a button that opens that exact place in the system settings.
On a Mac and Windows, "Report a problem" is now in the menu-bar and tray menu. When an online call ends, Chui now asks right away whether to stop and summarise, instead of waiting for silence or the calendar. A Mac recording no longer reports a few seconds missing from the microphone when nothing was missing.
In your dictation history, you can now transcribe a dictation's saved sound again and copy the new words. On Android, a dictation could sometimes show it was listening while no sound was coming in, then say nothing was heard. It now waits for the microphone before it starts, and if the sound never comes, it says so and offers to start again.
On an iPhone, a recording interrupted by a phone call could lose up to an extra second of the meeting after the call before it carried on. It now resumes within a fraction of a second once the phone gives the microphone back. Very long meetings, such as one lasting most of a day, now get names on their voices. Before, naming never finished for them.
Chui no longer invites you to do something you have already done. The card for connecting Claude or ChatGPT is not shown once one is connected. The dictation card stops once you have dictated, and the tips about talking to Chui stop once you have done it.
0.1.7.225Mac & Windows 0.2.225
Turkish and Russian, and help from your assistant with promises
Chui now speaks Turkish and Russian on every screen, notification, email, the Watch and the Lock Screen, and a device set to either language opens in it. Meetings held in Turkish or Russian are summarised in that language. Before, a Russian meeting could be summarised in Bulgarian.
On a promise card for work Chui cannot write itself, there was only "Hide". There is now also a button that hands the promise to the assistant you have connected to Chui, so it can draft the offer or contract, which you then send yourself. If no assistant is connected, the button walks you through connecting one first.
On a Mac, the dictation bar now sometimes shows a short tip, and a line under the empty box for asking Chui explains the two ways to talk to it. Dictation types where your cursor is, and a conversation starts with "hey Chui", answers aloud and types nothing.
Some places showed Bulgarian whatever your language. These were the menu-bar menu on a Mac and Windows, the message when the microphone is refused or missing, and the notification categories in Android's settings. They now follow your language, and an assistant connected to Chui now names the app's buttons as they appear in English.
The screen for connecting an assistant now offers a third one, and the steps for connecting another assistant match its current pages. On Android, a quick double tap on "Sign in with Google" no longer gets you refused twice before you can sign in.
0.1.7.224Mac & Windows 0.2.224
Promises from your meetings, and styles for dictation
Under the summary of a meeting you recorded, a new section lists what you promised people in it, one card per promise. Where Chui can write the follow-up, it drafts the email, with a file from the meeting attached if you promised one, and you send it with one press after seeing it word for word. Work Chui cannot write for you is simply listed, and "Hide" removes a card.
When a meeting with other people on the invite is ready, the notification now also offers to email them the summary. Tapping it opens the send screen, where you can ask Chui to stop offering, and a switch under "Meeting reminders" in Settings turns the offer back on.
When an answer from Chui mentions a voice such as "Speaker 2", you can tap it to give that voice a name.
Dictation can now tidy your words in different styles, from the usual clean-up to a tighter one, one for jotting ideas and one that keeps your words as spoken. You pick one from a button on the small dictation bar on a Mac or Windows, where Shift pressed while holding the dictation key moves to the next style, or from the choices on the phone's dictation screen, where another choice cleans the same words again. Pro accounts can add their own styles, and any instructions you had already written are kept as your first one.
The Dictation page in Settings is shorter: the words Chui should learn have a screen of their own, and on a Mac you can press a word that came out wrong in your dictation history to add the right spelling. These settings now appear on the phone too, and the dictation card can play a short video showing how dictation works.
An assistant you have connected to Chui can now tell you how many free dictated words are left this week, show and change a computer's dictation settings, and switch dictation on or off.
0.1.6.223Mac & Windows 0.2.223
Answers you can watch arrive, and a summary you can send
When you ask Chui about your meetings, the answer now appears word by word, with a line above it saying what Chui is doing, such as searching your meetings or reading one. Answers also come one step sooner than before. The box for asking appears as soon as the app opens instead of a second later.
If you lock your phone or move away while Chui is answering, the answer is still saved, and the device you asked from tells you when it is ready. A Mac or Windows computer shows its own notice. Questions you asked about a meeting now appear as cards under that meeting's summary, so you can open them again from there.
After a meeting you recorded from a calendar invite, a card under the summary offers to email the summary to the people on the invite. Before anything goes, you see the email exactly as it will be sent and every address, and you can untick someone or add an address. Only the summary is sent, never the transcript, the recording or your notes.
On an iPhone with iOS 18 or later, you can add a Chui dictation button to Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action Button. The dictation setup in Settings now plays a short silent animation of each step for the Action Button, Back Tap and Android's Quick Settings tile.
On a Mac and on Windows, free accounts get 2,000 dictated words a week on each. When the week is nearly used up, the small dictation bar says how many words are left. When none are left, it says they come back on Monday and offers "Get Pro". Before, a dictation past the limit simply stopped with nothing on screen.
On Android, if you left the sign-in page without finishing, Chui stayed on "Signing in…" for good. It now notices you came back and lets you try again.

This build changes nothing you can see or use in Chui.
0.1.5.220Mac & Windows 0.2.220
Dictation comes to Windows and Android
On Windows, you can now dictate into any app: hold Ctrl and the Windows key together, speak, and let go, and the text lands where your cursor is, as it does with fn on a Mac. Pressing another key while you hold them counts as a shortcut and drops the dictation, and whatever was on your clipboard is put back once the text has gone in.
On Windows, Settings now shows dictation and your past dictations, as it does on a Mac. An update that installs itself waits until a dictation is finished and its words have arrived.
On Android, a Quick Settings tile starts a dictation from any app. Press the button that stops and copies, then paste the text wherever you were. The dictation card in Settings can add the tile in one tap on Android 13 and later, and on older phones it gives the steps. The tile goes at the end of Quick Settings, so you may need to swipe down twice to find it.
On Android, Chui could not use the microphone inside its own screens, so dictation and the live words while you speak a question to Chui did not work. Now they do.
0.1.5.219Mac & Windows 0.2.219
Long meetings recorded on Android can now be split
A meeting recorded on Android that ran longer than about an hour and twenty minutes can now be split into parts, however long it is. Before, Chui could suggest the split and then refuse it with a bare "internal error". If Chui ever cannot split a meeting, it now says why in a sentence.
On iPhone, the button that ends a dictation now says what it does: it stops listening and copies the text. Before, it only said that you were finished. The new wording is in every language Chui is shown in.
0.1.5.218Mac & Windows 0.2.218
Chui now asks whether you are still in the meeting
A recording now stops on its own after 8 hours, with a notice ten minutes before, and this works on an iPhone with the screen locked too. You can choose 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours, or no limit at all, under Settings → "Recording".
On a Mac, Chui no longer installs an update while it is running. It installs it when you quit or press "Relaunch". Before, an update arriving in the background could leave Chui hearing only silence from the microphone, in dictation and possibly in a meeting being recorded, until it was restarted. If a dictation now comes back completely silent, Chui says so and offers a button to restart it.
On iPhone and Android, if you have told the phone not to let Chui use the microphone, the recording screen now has a button that opens Chui's own page in the phone's settings, where the microphone switch is. Before, it only told you where to look.
The two dictation rows in Settings are now one, and your past dictations open as a page at the end of it. On a Mac, the count beside that page now matches the list beneath it. On iPhone, the Back Tap card can add a "Dictate with Chui" shortcut in one tap, and its steps now say exactly where to scroll.
On iPhone, when the sign-in window cannot open because Guided Access is on, or because the phone will not let Chui finish signing in, Chui now explains what is stopping it and what to do. It used to tell you to close Chui and open it again, which did not help.
0.1.5.217Mac & Windows 0.2.217
On Android, a refused microphone now says where to allow it
On Android, if you had told the phone not to let Chui use the microphone and then pressed "New recording", Chui now says it has no access to the microphone and names the place in Android's settings where you can allow it. It used to tell you to close other apps that were listening, which could never fix it.
0.1.5.216Mac & Windows 0.2.216
Chui's store pages now in ten more languages
Chui's pages on the App Store and the Mac App Store are now written in Romanian, Greek, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Dutch, and Portuguese for Portugal and for Brazil, and Google Play has those plus Macedonian and Serbian. The pictures on each page show the app in that language, over a sample meeting held in that language.
The prices on these pages are the ones the store charges in your country. When you buy Pro, the purchase screen now names it in your language.
Where a store has no page in your language, as with Serbian, Macedonian and Bosnian on the App Store and Bosnian on Google Play, Chui's page stays in English.
0.1.5.215Mac & Windows 0.2.215
Ten more languages, and summaries in the language you met in
Chui now speaks Romanian, Greek, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Serbian (in Cyrillic or Latin letters), Dutch, and Portuguese for Portugal and for Brazil: every screen, notification and email, the watch, chui.io and the help. A phone already set to one of these languages opens Chui in it, and the first-run screen now reads "English, Spanish, French and fifteen more languages".
A meeting held in Serbian or Macedonian is summarised in that language. A Portuguese, Romanian, Dutch or Czech meeting is no longer summarised in Spanish, English or Italian when the language was not recognised. Serbian and Macedonian meetings used to come out in Bulgarian.
The Apple Watch app now shows Italian to people who use Chui in Italian. It used to show English. Siri now also understands the spoken shortcut for dictating with Chui in each new language.
When the card payment page cannot be shown in your language, it now opens in English instead of a neighbouring language or a guess.
On a wide screen, the calendar offer no longer sits beside the list while a workspace is open. The team notice above the meetings list now lines up with the list instead of stretching across the window.
The hint under the dictation switch now says first what the switch does when it is on, so the row no longer looks off when it is on. "Open your assistant and ask:" and two other lines that tell you what to do next are now in full-strength text instead of grey. In the browser, the message telling you to sign in another way is no longer shown in red.
0.1.5.214Mac & Windows 0.2.214
Clearer sound for both people on calls placed through Chui
Calls placed through Chui to mobile phones are now recorded in clearer, fuller sound for both people on the call. Until now the clearer sound only ever held one of the two voices, so these calls were still kept at ordinary telephone quality.
If the clearer sound stops for either person partway through a call, Chui keeps the whole call at ordinary telephone quality instead, so both people are in the recording from start to finish.
0.1.5.213Mac & Windows 0.2.213
A quieter button on the new-admin notice
When you add a new admin to your team, the «Got it» button on the notice now looks like every other button that just puts a notice away. It never changed who can read what.
0.1.5.212Mac & Windows 0.2.212
Recent calls and a keypad, and how each meeting was recorded
Calling through Chui has moved off the home screen to a row near the bottom of Settings, marked as beta. Before, a call button stood beside "New recording". The row is hidden while a recording is running.
The sheet for placing a call now has three tabs: your recent calls, your contacts and a keypad. Each recent call shows how long you talked, and you can tap it to call again or open the meeting it became. The keypad shows the name of the contact whose number you are typing.
Each row in your meetings list now starts with a small picture of how the meeting was recorded: a microphone for in the room, a handset for a call through Chui, a laptop for the Mac or Windows app, or a file for one you imported. On a wide screen the word is shown beside it, and the separate "Imported" label is gone. A meeting recorded on the watch shows as in the room.
On the iPhone, the box where you ask Chui about your meetings has a new layout: your words run across its full width, with the buttons on a row underneath. It sits just above the keyboard, which now stays up while you speak a question. Before, the box could jump to the top of the screen after you came back to the app. Pressing Return while speaking now sends everything you said, not only the part you had typed.
Calls placed through Chui to mobile phones can now be recorded in clearer, fuller sound where the call carries it. Before, they were always kept at ordinary telephone quality. When the clearer sound is not available, the call is recorded as before.
0.1.5.211Mac & Windows 0.2.211
Dictation on the iPhone, and clearer calls placed through Chui
On the iPhone you can now dictate from anywhere: set Chui's dictation shortcut on the Action Button or on a double tap on the back of the phone, speak, and Chui cleans up what you said and puts it on the clipboard, ready to paste into any app. Free accounts get 1,000 dictated words a week on the iPhone, and Chui Pro has no limit.
Everything you dictate on the iPhone is kept in a dictation history in Settings, where you can search it and copy any entry again. The same dictations also appear in the dictation history on the Mac, marked as coming from the iPhone.
When you place a call through Chui, a natural voice now tells you who is being called, and you hear a ringing tone until they answer. Before, there was silence until they picked up.
If a brief storage hiccup on our side interrupts a meeting while it is being transcribed, Chui now tries again. Before, the meeting could be marked "Failed" straight away.
On Android, the "Open Chui" button on the page you return to after signing in now opens the app. On some phones it had only reloaded the page, and the sign-in never finished.
0.1.5.210Mac & Windows 0.2.210
No visible changes in this build
Nothing in this build changes what you see or do in Chui. The work in it is behind the scenes.
0.1.5.209Mac & Windows 0.2.209
A microphone that starts silent on Windows recovers sooner
On Windows, if the microphone starts a recording sending only silence, Chui now opens it again about four seconds in. Before, it waited about three and a half seconds longer, and what you said in that time was missing from the recording.
0.1.5.208Mac & Windows 0.2.208
Chui's store pages in Polish
Chui's pages on the App Store, the Mac App Store and Google Play are now in Polish as well: the description, and pictures of the app running in Polish with a Polish sample meeting. Before, someone browsing those stores in Polish saw them in another language.
When you subscribe to Chui Pro through the App Store or Google Play, the subscription's name and description now appear in Polish too, for a store set to Polish.
0.1.5.207Mac & Windows 0.2.207
Chui's help pages in Polish, and calls from Chui get through
The help pages are now in Polish as well, under the same topics as the English ones. When Claude or ChatGPT is connected to an account set to Polish, it reads them in Polish. The Polish pages give the price of another team seat in euros, which is what a Polish team pays in. They had shown it in dollars.
On chui.io, the home page no longer says the iPhone is the only place Chui keeps recording with the screen locked. Android does too, and the iPhone section now describes only the iPhone.
A call placed from Chui now rings the person you are calling. Before, it could fail to reach them.
0.1.5.206Mac & Windows 0.2.206
Chui speaks Polish, and a countdown before the recording announcement
Chui is now available in Polish: every screen, notification and email, the Apple Watch, the Lock Screen card, the shared summary page and chui.io itself. A phone set to Polish opens Chui in Polish, and Polish can also be picked in "Settings" under "Language".
When Chui is set to announce the recording out loud, it now counts down for a few seconds first: the card says "Chui is about to say this out loud", and "Not this time" skips the announcement for this meeting.
On a Mac, Polish can now be chosen as the dictation language. Before, picking it had no effect and the previous choice stayed.
On a Mac, quitting Chui from the Dock, logging out or shutting down during a recording could end the meeting and lose it. Chui now stays open, shows its window and keeps recording. Pressing "Quit" just as a recording starts no longer loses that recording either.
0.1.5.205Mac & Windows 0.2.205
A Mac update relaunches in front, and the assistant card is fixed
On a Mac, pressing "Relaunch" after an update now brings Chui back in front of your other windows. Before, the new copy could open hidden behind everything else. Clicking Chui in the Dock while its window is closed now opens the window again.
On a Mac, in the dictation section of "Settings", each way to start dictation now looks like a button with its own shaded background, not plain text with a faint outline. The entries also sit a little further apart, so the button that removes one is no longer right up against the plus button.
The "Your meetings — in Claude and ChatGPT" card now shows its own picture: a question asked in an assistant and Chui's answer to it. Before, it showed a picture meant for something else and, on a phone, only the top third of it.
On the cards that carry a picture, the picture now fades in at the top and keeps its main part in view on a short card. Before, it could be cut off through the middle of a line of text.
0.1.4.204Mac & Windows 0.2.204
Full microphone on Windows, and fewer gaps after a call on iPhone
On a Windows computer, a meeting could keep only the first second and a half of your own voice and lose the rest, even though the microphone was heard the whole time. Your voice is now recorded for the whole meeting.
On an iPhone, a recording interrupted by a phone call now takes the microphone back in a different way. Before, Chui could fail to restart many times in a row after the call, and seconds of the meeting went unrecorded.
On an iPhone, pressing "Cancel" when iOS asks whether Chui may open a sign-in page while you connect a calendar no longer shows an error saying the sign-in window failed. It is now taken as the "no" you meant.
0.1.4.203Mac & Windows 0.2.203
Dictation has its own place in Settings, and fewer error cards
On a Mac, dictation now has its own section in "Settings" instead of sitting under "This Mac". Each way to start it, fn and any mouse button you add, is its own entry you can remove, and a plus button adds whatever you press next. One way always stays; the switch is how you turn dictation off.
On an iPhone, the box on the screen where you ask Chui about your meetings now sits right on top of the keyboard and stays there while the messages scroll. Before, it could hang well above the keys, and the top of the screen slid up under the clock. Dragging down on the messages closes the keyboard, and the Claude and ChatGPT reminder steps aside while you type.
On that same screen, Chui no longer offers generic next-question buttons under every answer, only ones that follow from what it just said, and a simple greeting gets a one-line reply.
When our side has a brief hiccup, screens now wait a moment and ask again by themselves instead of showing an error card. A meeting being transcribed or summarised during a heavier slowdown is retried rather than marked "Failed".
Screens that show your account, such as "Settings" and your subscription, open more quickly. Before, they waited about a second and a half for an answer.
The "Get Chui for desktop" and "Your meetings — in Claude and ChatGPT" cards now carry a picture, like the calendar card. The desktop card names no one kind of computer, since Chui runs on Windows as well as on a Mac.
0.1.4.202Mac & Windows 0.2.202
Dictation answers fn at once, and fewer meetings end up failed
On a Mac, pressing fn to dictate now shows the dictation bar straight away, grey and unlit, and it turns red once the microphone is actually open. Before, nothing appeared for about half a second while the microphone woke up. If the microphone then fails to open, the card with words not yet pasted comes back instead of staying hidden.
On a Mac, "Settings" under "This Mac" has a new switch, off by default, that plays a short tick the moment you press fn. The sound that tells you to start speaking still plays when the microphone opens, and the switch applies to that Mac only.
A brief connection drop on our side while a meeting is being transcribed or summarised no longer marks it "Failed": Chui now tries again by itself. Before, such a meeting stayed failed until you pressed "Retry".
On an iPhone, if the phone swallows a tap on a button in a question, Chui now presses that button itself. Before, "Not now" on the notifications question sometimes did nothing the first time a new install was opened.
With VoiceOver, the level bars on the recording screen now say how loud the microphone is, from 0 to 100.
On a computer, with several meetings ticked, the buttons in the bar under the list now have a visible outline and are the same height as the delete button beside them. Before, two of them had almost no edge.
0.1.4.201Mac & Windows 0.2.201
Dictation settings on a Mac, and a clear message when updates cannot install
On a Mac, "Settings" under "This Mac" now has three cards for dictation: a switch for the clean-up (with it off, Chui pastes exactly what it heard), your own words (including "heard as, written as" pairs), and your own clean-up instructions, which can add to or replace the built-in ones. They belong to your account, so every Mac you use gets the same settings, and a connected Claude or ChatGPT can read and change them too, asking you first before it changes your instructions.
On a Mac, the floating dictation bar no longer jumps when you move the pointer between its buttons. In languages where a button's tip is longer than the bar, the tip now wraps onto a second line inside the bar instead of making the bar wider.
A Mac running Chui from outside Applications, for example straight from the downloaded disk image or from the Downloads folder, used to download each new version and then fail to install it every time. Chui now checks first, downloads nothing, and says: "Chui cannot update from where it is running. Quit Chui, drag it into Applications and open it from there to get" the new version, with a button that quits Chui for you.
0.1.4.200Mac & Windows 0.2.200
Very long recordings are transcribed, and playback retries a hiccup
Pressing play on a meeting no longer fails because of a brief hiccup on our side, because Chui now tries once more straight away. Before, that hiccup could show "This recording cannot be played."
0.1.4.199Mac & Windows 0.2.199
Select several meetings on a computer, and one Chui on Windows
On a computer with a mouse, pointing at a meeting in your list now shows a box to tick and four small buttons where its length and time were: add a label, share, delete, and a "⋯" menu. Right-clicking a meeting opens the same menu. Before, a red "Delete" pill appeared over the length and time; now only the bin turns red, and only while the pointer is on it.
Ticking a box lets you pick more meetings with one click each, and a bar under the list adds a label to all of them or deletes them together. Every way of deleting now ends in the same question, which names each meeting with its day, time and length. On a phone the list works as before, with a swipe.
On Windows, opening Chui from the Start menu while it is already running now brings up the Chui window that is already open. Before, it could start a second Chui, and pressing "Install now" there could close Chui in the middle of a recording, running or paused, so that recording was never finished. That no longer happens.
On Windows, opening Chui while an update installs by itself now shows the window. Before, Chui could come back hidden in the tray.
0.1.4.198Mac & Windows 0.2.198
Pick a microphone for Mac dictation, and calmer calendar connecting
On a Mac, dictation's floating bar now has a microphone button that lists every input, with the system default at the top. Dictation uses the one you pick, and if it is unplugged Chui switches back to the default and tells you. The language list now starts with an automatic choice that recognises the language as you speak, and the Chui mark on the bar brings the Chui window to the front.
In "Settings" under "This Mac" there is now a switch for dictation. When it is off, fn and your chosen mouse button go back to other apps. A connected Claude or ChatGPT can also turn it on or off for you.
On a Mac or Windows, pressing the button to connect a calendar twice no longer shows a "timed out — try again" message five minutes later after the calendar had already connected. The same applies to adding a way to sign in.
"Could not load your meetings. Chui keeps trying." now appears less often, because a brief hiccup on our side is retried at once. A Windows recording left running for days could sit without a transcript. Chui now puts it together and transcribes it.
"Write the summary again" is no longer offered on a meeting with no words in it, where it always failed. In "Settings", your personal account is now shown under your own name.
Every card in Chui now opens with a small picture or icon, including notices and greetings. A recording waiting for a connection now shows a no-network sign instead of an arrow that looked like a button.
0.1.4.197Mac & Windows 0.2.197
Windows hears a silent microphone, and updates itself when idle
On Windows, a microphone that sent only silence from the moment a recording started could leave your own voice out of the meeting, with nothing on screen to say so. That no longer happens: after a few seconds Chui opens the microphone again, and if Windows is blocking it, the screen says "No microphone access. Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone."
On Windows, a downloaded update now installs by itself once nothing is recording and the Chui window is closed, and Chui is back in the tray a few seconds later. "Install now" still works if you want it sooner.
All reminder settings are now on one page, "Meeting reminders": "Which meetings" sits there beside "How" and "When", with a note that it also decides which meetings "Coming up" shows. The separate section in "Settings" that used to hold it is gone.
On a phone, while a recording runs, the box for asking about a past meeting now sits above the recording bar. Before, it slid behind the bar and only a thin strip of it showed.
chui.io now always opens the website, and Chui itself is at chui.io/app, reached from the website's "Open Chui" button.
Smaller fixes: "Later" on "Connect your calendar" is now a button rather than grey underlined words, and "All photos" is underlined so it reads as something you can tap. In the light appearance, the empty part of a progress bar is now clearly visible. Inside a workspace, the button that shows who has access no longer shares the name "People" with the side bar.
0.1.4.196Mac & Windows 0.2.196
Tidier labels, menus and confirmations
On a meeting, a label Chui added now has its × inside its own coloured pill: tapping the name opens the label, and tapping the × removes it. Before, the × sat outside the pill.
Adding a file, adding a label and "Delete meeting" now live in the meeting's "⋯" menu, which opens as a drop-down on a computer. Before, the empty file tile and the add-label control took up rows of their own.
When you ask Chui in chat to delete a meeting, the question now offers "Cancel" beside "Delete" in red letters instead of a large red button. In the chat, the reminder about connecting Claude and ChatGPT is now a card with a real "Connect" button, and on "Claude and ChatGPT" the assistant you chose now carries a tick.
When your meetings list is empty, the "New recording" button now sits right under "Tap “New recording” to start.", and it is hidden while a recording is already running. When you remove a photo you took in Chui, the warning that it is the only copy is now as easy to read as the rest of the sheet.
On a computer, you can now select and copy the "Transcript" of a meeting whose audio has been removed. Before, its words behaved like buttons. In "Settings", the header stays still as you move between sections, and a long list of sections fades at the bottom when more is hidden below.
In the subscription and team sections of "Settings", warning colours now appear only where something needs your attention. When a team's payment fails, the button to update the card is now the one that stands out.
0.1.4.195Mac & Windows 0.2.195
Dictate on the Mac, and the right calendar entry for each meeting
Once the summary is written, Chui now uses what was said to decide which calendar entry a meeting was. A reminder or a second entry overlapping the meeting no longer gives it the wrong title, and if none of them fits, the meeting is left with no calendar entry at all.
If you chose the meeting yourself under "Which meeting are you recording?" or typed your own title, it now stays exactly as you left it after the summary arrives.
On a Mac, if the device the meeting is playing through disappears while you record, the screen now says "Recording the microphone only. The meeting audio could not be opened." Before, it sent you to a privacy setting you had already allowed, and a few seconds of the meeting could go unrecorded while this happened. That no longer happens.
On a Mac where dictation is switched on for your account, hold fn or a mouse button you choose and speak, and your words are typed at the cursor. Whatever you had copied is still on your clipboard afterwards, even if you dictate twice in a row.
0.1.4.194Mac & Windows 0.2.194
Leave a note for your next meeting with someone
On a person's page in "People", a new section below "Rename" and "Merge" lets you type a note for the next time you meet them. "Add" stays quiet until you have typed something, and if you remove a note with its ×, a short message gives you a few seconds to bring it back.
When you have left a note on someone you are about to meet, that meeting is marked under "Coming up". The brief Chui prepares before the meeting shows your note at the top, with who it is for and when you left it.
An assistant you have connected to Chui can now write or correct the brief for one of your upcoming meetings, and leave notes on people for next time. Whatever it writes appears in Chui, marked as written by your assistant.
On a person's page, their meetings now sit under their own "Meetings" heading, below the notes.
0.1.4.193Mac & Windows 0.2.193
Add to your notes after a meeting, and labels Chui suggests
In a finished meeting you can now keep typing in "Notes". Your words are kept when you leave the screen, and a quiet line under the box says the summary is being rewritten to include them. Before, the notes could not be changed once the recording had stopped.
Once you have ten or more meetings, a card on "Meetings" suggests labels to sort them into, and Chui adds labels to finished meetings by itself. Each one it adds is marked as Chui's and comes off with one tap. The labels button at the top of the meetings list is now always a tag, and takes the colour of the label you are filtering by.
After you pay for "Chui Pro" or for a team on chui.io, the app shows you as paid when you come back to it, without a restart. The waiting page on chui.io stays calm while Pro switches on, and "Look again" visibly checks before it answers. Before, it could show a red warning, "Look again" seemed to do nothing, and the phone still said "Free".
In "Settings", under "Claude and ChatGPT", both assistants now look equally selectable, and the last thing to do after connecting is a numbered step rather than small print.
On your team's page, the people in the team now come first and the settings follow below them, easier to read. A pending invitation can be sent again, and the cost shown is what the team actually pays once any discount is applied.
0.1.4.192Mac & Windows 0.2.192
Speak your question to Chui instead of typing it
Every box where you ask Chui a question now has a microphone: on the meetings list, under a meeting, in the side panel and in the conversation itself. Press it, say your question, press it again, and the words appear in the box so you can edit them before sending.
Starting a spoken question from the box on the meetings list or under a meeting opens the conversation, which finishes listening there.
While a meeting is recording, the ask boxes show no microphone. Inside the conversation, pressing it explains why Chui cannot listen right now and leaves the cursor in the box so you can type instead.
A photo attached to a meeting now opens across the whole screen. It closes with the × at the top left or a tap beside the picture, and a red "Remove" is its only coloured button.
On chui.io, your meetings list stays on screen when the connection is unsteady. Before, it could be replaced every few seconds by "Could not load your meetings. Chui keeps trying."
On the "Subscription" page, the price shown is now what you actually pay once any discount is applied.
0.1.4.191Mac & Windows 0.2.191
Labels for your meetings, and a way to pay for a team in Settings
You can now sort your meetings by project with labels. The three coloured dots at the top right of "Meetings" show your labels, let you make a new one, and narrow the list to the meetings with a single label.
In a meeting you recorded, a button under its date adds a label, and the label then appears as a coloured pill on that meeting's row in "Meetings". You can also add and use labels by asking an assistant you have connected to Chui.
Labels are part of "Chui Pro". On "Free", every way into labels leads to "Chui Pro".
A new card at the top of "Settings", under your accounts, offers "Chui Pro" if you are on "Free". If you run a team that nobody pays for yet, it shows the price and a button to pay on chui.io. Before, "Settings" had no way to do either.
Paying for your team from the phone now opens the team's billing on chui.io. It had been opening your personal account's billing instead, so there was no way to pay for the team.
On a phone, "Import" at the top of "Meetings" is now a plus icon. It still brings in a recording as before.
0.1.3.190Mac & Windows 0.2.190
Browser recordings no longer lose parts of the meeting
When you record a meeting at chui.io in a browser, every part of it is now saved. Before, the browser could occasionally fail to save a stretch of the recording partway through, and that part of the meeting was missing afterwards.
0.1.3.189Mac & Windows 0.2.189
On Windows, a microphone that goes quiet now comes back on its own
On a Windows PC, a microphone that goes quiet during a meeting is now brought back on its own a few seconds later, and your voice returns to the recording. Before, it could stay silent for the rest of the meeting, so only the meeting audio was kept. While it is away, Chui shows "The microphone stopped. Only the meeting audio is being recorded."
This also works for headset microphones on Windows, such as a Bluetooth headset in call mode.
If a Windows microphone keeps dropping out, Chui now waits a little longer before each attempt to bring it back. The meeting audio is no longer interrupted every few seconds.
When Chui is shown in Hungarian, tapping "Get Chui Pro" on the "Subscription" page in "Settings" opens a purchase sheet that names and describes the subscription in Hungarian. It had been in English.
Chui's pages on the App Store, the Mac App Store and Google Play now have Hungarian text and pictures for people browsing in Hungarian.
0.1.3.188Mac & Windows 0.2.188
Long lines in Settings now read in full, including in Hungarian
On a phone, the long sentence on the "Recording" page in "Settings" now wraps onto a second line. It had been cut short and ended in "…", most often when Chui was shown in Hungarian.
On a phone, every line of the plan row on the "Subscription" page in "Settings" now reads in full. Before, some of those lines were cut off at the edge of the screen, most often in Hungarian, where the words are longer.
0.1.3.187Mac & Windows 0.2.187
Chui in Hungarian, and summaries in the meeting's own language
Chui can now be used in Hungarian. Every screen, notification and email, the watch and the Lock Screen card appear in Hungarian if your device is set to it, or if you choose it under "Language" in "Settings".
A meeting held in a language Chui's screens are not translated into, such as Polish, now gets its "Summary" written in that language. Before, the summary for such a meeting could come back in English.
On the "Ask about your meetings" screen, "Add Chui to Claude" now opens Chui's page in Claude's own directory, where you press Connect to Claude. "The steps, screen by screen" no longer appears for Claude, because those steps are no longer needed, but it is still there for ChatGPT.
A chui.io link pasted into WhatsApp or another chat now shows a proper picture card instead of just the app icon.
A meeting is no longer marked "Failed" when one step of its processing gets no answer. Chui now tries that step again, and the meeting goes on to its transcript and summary.
0.1.3.186Mac & Windows 0.2.186
Tapping a share button twice no longer reports a failure
On a phone, tapping "Send" or "Send yourself the link" a second time while the share sheet is still opening now just opens the one sheet. Before, the second tap was counted as a failed attempt and could say something had gone wrong, even though sharing worked. This covers a meeting's "Send", the card offering Chui for your computer and the "Ask about your meetings" screen.
0.1.3.185Mac & Windows 0.2.185
Prices in your own currency, and a yearly plan for teams
On a Mac or at chui.io, Chui Pro is now priced in your own money: euros, US dollars, pounds, Canadian dollars or Swiss francs, for both the monthly and the yearly option. You pay in that same currency.
A team can now pay by the year as well as by the month. On a computer, the team's payment card shows both side by side, each with the whole team's bill, and the line beneath follows whichever one you pick.
Team invitation emails now go out in the invited person's language if they already use Chui, and in the language of the admin who sent the invitation if they do not. Before, a person new to Chui always got the email in English.
In the list of accounts, in "Settings" or in the Mac menu, a team account now says "Team" before its plan, so it no longer looks like a personal one. If the company name is too long to fit, the name is shortened instead of the word "Team".
On a Mac or at chui.io, the corner of the side panel now names the account you have open, so it changes when you switch to a team account. It used to show your own name whichever account was open.
0.1.3.184Mac & Windows 0.2.184
Phone recordings finish properly, invitations in the reader's language
When a meeting recorded on your phone had fully reached Chui, the phone could keep showing it as "Uploading" or mark it "Failed", even though nothing was missing. It now goes on to "Done" and gets its summary.
Team invitation emails are now written in the invited person's language. An address that has never signed in to Chui gets English, and someone who already has an account gets the language they use in Chui. The email sent when you "Withdraw" an invitation follows the same rule. Before, both emails were in the language of the admin who sent them.
0.1.3.183Mac & Windows 0.2.183
Clearer microphone messages in the browser, fuller Windows recordings
In a browser at chui.io, if you press "New recording" and close the browser's microphone question without answering, Chui now asks you to try again and allow the microphone. Before, it told you to close other apps.
If the microphone is blocked for chui.io in your browser, the message now points you to the browser's own settings for the site. Before, it sent you to a phone Settings screen that does not exist on a computer.
On Windows, if sound was already playing when you pressed "New recording", your own voice could be missing from the whole recording. Your voice and the meeting audio are now kept together from start to finish, including after you unplug and replug a headset or microphone.
0.1.3.182Mac & Windows 0.2.182
Invoices on one page, team invitations by email, desktop menus
On a Mac or in a wide browser window, the "⋯" beside a team member now opens a small menu right under it, and confirmations appear as a dialog in the middle of the window. They used to slide up from the bottom of the window, the way they do on a phone, and on phones they still do.
On a Mac or at chui.io, every offer of Chui Pro now starts with the free trial and how many days it lasts, with the price after it. This applies when you have used up your free meetings, when you open a locked meeting, on "Subscription" in "Settings", and on the team's payment card.
If you pay for Chui by card, a new page under "Subscription" shows your plan, your next charge, the card you pay with and every past charge. Each charge has an invoice and a receipt you can open.
If you are an admin of a team that already pays, inviting a colleague now shows what the extra seat costs today and what your next bill will be, before you confirm. You are charged the price you were shown.
Chui now emails team invitations: the invite screen says "Chui emails them the invitation", and the invited person's row tells you if the email did not arrive. When you ask a team for a seat, Chui says it has emailed the admins only when the email actually went out, and otherwise asks you to tell them yourself. Before, Chui sent no email at all.
0.1.3.181Mac & Windows 0.2.181
Subscription prices on iPad and steadier recording recovery
On iPhone and iPad, the "Subscription" screen now shows the monthly and yearly prices even when the App Store is slow to answer the first time. If the App Store still gives no prices, Chui says so and offers "Get Pro on chui.io" instead. Before, on an iPad the screen could show no prices at all, leaving no way to pay.
When "Restore purchases" finds that you already have Pro, every button to buy Pro disappears from the screen straight away.
If the card "An unfinished recording on this phone" appears at the top of your meetings and you tap "Recover", you can now lock the phone while it says "Stitching…". Chui keeps running and the meeting comes back. Before, locking the phone at that moment could close Chui before the meeting was recovered.
0.1.3.180Mac & Windows 0.2.180
Browser microphone warning, smoother Apple sign-in and a free trial
On your phone, tapping "Sign in with Apple" a second time while Apple's window is still opening no longer stops sign-in with an error. Sign-in now carries on as normal.
When you record in a browser at chui.io and Chui gets no sound from your microphone, a line appears after about twenty seconds saying "Chui cannot hear the microphone" and asking you to check that it is not muted and which microphone the browser is using. Before, a meeting could come back empty with no warning. Pressing "Pause" does not set off the warning.
Getting Chui Pro on chui.io now starts with a free trial. On the "Subscription" screen, a line under the two prices, just above "Get Chui Pro", says how many days are free and that your card goes in now but is first charged only after them.
During the trial, your subscription shows "First charge on" with a date instead of "Renews on".
0.1.3.179Mac & Windows 0.2.179
Fixes and improvements
If your team is tied to a Google or Microsoft work sign-in, its admin now has a switch on its own card on the "Team" screen, above the invitations, that lets colleagues from your company join without waiting for you to press "Approve". The line under it names your company's domain and says what each colleague adds to the bill.
A team's admin can now pay for the team from Chui on iPhone and on the Mac. In the United States there is a button that opens chui.io to pay; elsewhere Chui says where to go. Before, there was no way to pay from the phone.
The "Team" screen keeps its list of people in place when you leave and come back. It used to flash "Reading the team…" and redraw every time.
On Windows, a first meeting could record only silence. Chui now tells you straight away when it cannot hear your microphone. It also keeps recording the meeting audio even while nothing is playing through your speakers.
On Windows, some microphones and speakers were refused outright, and a meeting recorded through them came back with nothing in it. They now record normally.
Once a meeting shows "Done", Chui no longer transcribes it again, rewrites its summary or sends a second notification when the phone sends the same recording a second time.
0.1.3.178Mac & Windows 0.2.178
Nothing new to see in this build
This build has no changes you can see or use in Chui; the work in it was behind the scenes.
0.1.3.177Mac & Windows 0.2.177
Meetings stopped from the Lock Screen arrive on their own, and account switching
When you press "Stop" on the Lock Screen of your iPhone and leave Chui closed, the meeting now reaches you with its "Transcript" and "Summary" within a few minutes. Before, it could wait until you next opened the app, sometimes an hour or more.
If you open Chui right after stopping from the Lock Screen, the meeting appears once in "Meetings" with a single summary. Two short meetings stopped back to back from the Lock Screen both arrive complete.
One sign-in can now hold several Chui accounts, such as a personal one and a company one, and you can switch between them. The list of accounts is in "Settings", and on a computer also in a menu in the corner of the side panel. When you sign in again, Chui opens the account you used last.
0.1.3.176Mac & Windows 0.2.176
Recording from a Shortcut, and meetings a phone stopped sending
If the phone recording a meeting was switched off or stopped sending partway through, the meeting could say it was still recording for hours. Chui now puts it together from the sound that reached it, with a transcript and a summary, and a note that the last minute or so may be missing.
In a wide window with no meetings yet, a button to start recording now sits right under "Record your first meeting". Before, there was no button there.
In "People", when you rename someone to a name another person already has, the "Merge" button on the question that follows no longer looks greyed out.
If you use Chui from an assistant, as set up under "Ask about your meetings", it can now invite a colleague to your team, approve a request for a seat, or ask to join a team. It asks you before each of these.
0.1.3.175Mac & Windows 0.2.175
Nothing new to see in this build
This build has no changes you can see or use in Chui; the work in it was behind the scenes.
0.1.2.174Mac & Windows 0.2.174
Share call recordings from Notes, and long phone meetings kept
On the iPhone, a meeting's share and search buttons now sit side by side at the end of the top line, and the meeting's name uses the full width below them. The search button stays on screen on a narrow phone, even when you opened the meeting from someone's page in "People" and the back button shows their name.
On the iPhone, you can send a call recording to Chui from the Share button at the top of a note in the Notes app. Chui turns it into a meeting with a transcript and a summary. If the note holds no recording, Chui says so in one sentence and points you to the recording's own "•••" menu instead.
A long meeting recorded on the phone while it was locked and carried around is now kept in full. Before, only the first part could survive, and nothing said the rest was missing. If a part is ever missing now, the meeting shows "Recording was cut short" or "Short gaps in the recording".
If you use Chui from an assistant, as set up under "Ask about your meetings", you can now ask it to send Chui an idea or a feature request, and it arrives as an idea. Before, the assistant could only send a problem.
0.1.2.173Mac & Windows 0.2.173
Videos on iPhone, recordings on Android, and a tidier Settings
On the iPhone you can now bring a video into Chui, either by sharing it from another app or by tapping "Import" and picking it from your files. Chui makes a meeting from its sound, with a transcript and a summary, just as it does for an audio recording. A video with no usable sound says "Chui found no sound it can read in this video. Choose another file."
On Android, Chui now has an "Import" button for recordings you already have, and other apps can share audio straight into Chui. Before, there was no way to bring an existing recording into Chui on Android.
After you tap "Import", "Uploading the file…" now appears only once you have actually chosen a file. Before, it could appear even if you backed out of the file picker without choosing anything.
"Settings" now opens each section as its own page, on a phone and on a wide window alike. Before, everything sat on one long scrolling page. "Language" and "Appearance" are now inside "App", and your meeting reminders are inside "Coming up and reminders".
"Settings" now has a "Team" group near the top, with one page listing who is in the team and another showing what the team costs. Everyone sits in one list under the "Invite" button: you, your colleagues, people you have invited and people asking for a seat. Each person's "⋯" menu offers only the actions that fit them, such as "Remove", "Withdraw", "Approve" or "Decline".
On Android, tapping a Chui link now opens it in the app. Before, a tapped link could occasionally do nothing at all.
0.1.2.172Mac & Windows 0.2.172
Signing in with Apple on iPhone no longer trips over itself
On the iPhone, tapping "Sign in with Apple" twice in quick succession now simply opens Apple's sign-in window. Before, the second tap cancelled the window that was already on its way and Chui showed an error instead.
If you leave Apple's password prompt without finishing, you can tap "Sign in with Apple" again straight away. Before, Chui could sit there waiting for a sign-in that was never coming.
Under "Calendar" in "Settings", the buttons for connecting a calendar are now at the top. The long explanation that used to sit above them is gone.
0.1.2.171Mac & Windows 0.2.171
Cancelling a sign-in on iPhone is no longer treated as an error
On the iPhone, if you tap "Sign in with Google" and then tap "Cancel" on the phone's own question about signing in, Chui now simply takes you back, and tapping "Sign in with Google" again carries on normally. Before, Chui showed "The sign-in window did not open", as if something had broken.
The same now holds when you cancel that question while adding a way to sign in under "Ways to sign in" in "Settings", or while connecting a calendar under "Calendar". Chui now treats it as your choice, not as a sign-in window that failed.
0.1.2.170Mac & Windows 0.2.170
Meetings in progress now reach your assistant
If you have connected Chui to an assistant, it now sees a meeting that is still being recorded: it calls the meeting unfinished, says how long it has been going and shows your notes. Before, it described such a meeting as empty.
A meeting you start on the phone with no connection now shows in your assistant as in progress once the phone is back online, with its length given as "at least" a certain time. Before, the assistant could not see that meeting at all.
On chui.io in a browser, if you close the browser's own question about notifications without answering, Chui now offers "Allow notifications" again later. Before, closing that question switched notifications off for good in that browser.
The Chui website now shows that the phone app is on the App Store. It had still been describing the app as a test version.
0.1.1.169Mac & Windows 0.2.169
Behind-the-scenes work only
This build has no changes you can see or use in Chui; recording, transcripts and summaries work as they did before.
0.1.1.168Mac & Windows 0.2.168
Briefings before repeat meetings, and long recordings split in two
For a repeating meeting from your connected calendar that you have recorded before, your phone now shows a briefing about ten minutes ahead instead of the usual reminder. Tapping it opens a screen with "Last time", "People" and a button to record. In "Coming up", such a meeting now shows "Open" instead of "Record", and opens the same screen.
"Coming up" and meeting reminders now count a calendar entry as a meeting only when you and at least one other person are on it, so personal reminders and family schedules no longer appear there. Under "Which meetings" in Settings you can choose "Only with other people" or "All meetings".
When one long recording holds two or three separate conversations, a card above the summary now offers to split it into separate meetings, each with its own times, title and people. You can split it or keep it as one meeting.
On the phone, a recording now carries on after you pause it, take a call and tap "Resume". Before, a recording could stop for good after a call, and the rest of the meeting was not recorded.
Tapping "Take it" after "Photo" during a recording no longer freezes the screen for a while.
When you hold the phone sideways to take a photo during a meeting, the camera picture now turns with the phone, and the photo is saved the right way up. Before, the picture could stay sideways or be cut off.
0.1.1.167Mac & Windows 0.2.167
Import meeting videos on a Mac or Windows, and attach files there
In Chui for Mac and Chui for Windows, "Import" now also takes a video of a meeting (mp4, m4v or mov), and it becomes a meeting with a transcript and a summary, just as an audio file does. Before, it took audio recordings only.
If a video you import has no sound Chui can read, you now see "Chui found no sound it can read in this video. Choose another file." instead of getting an empty meeting.
In a meeting on the Mac or Windows app, the paperclip now lets you attach any file, and it appears under "Files".
On the phone and in the browser, "Import" still takes audio recordings only. For a video, use the Mac or Windows app.
0.1.1.166Mac & Windows 0.2.166
Voices told apart in very long meetings
In a meeting that runs for several hours, the transcript now tells the voices apart and recognises the people you have named, instead of labelling everyone "Speaker".
0.1.1.165Mac & Windows 0.2.165
See what you attached, and import recordings on a Mac or Windows
While you record on the phone, the photos and files you attach now show in the notes box's own toolbar beside the paperclip, and tapping a photo opens it full-screen. "Photo or file" only appears while nothing is attached yet, and the notes box now reaches all the way down to "Discard" instead of stopping above an empty band.
If Chui is not allowed into your photo library, the sheet for adding things now shows the camera and "Choose photos" side by side. It used to show an empty row with a link left on its own underneath.
Chui for Mac and Chui for Windows now have "Import" on the meetings list. It opens your computer's usual file window, and the audio file you pick is uploaded and becomes a meeting, as it already could on the phone and on the web.
A long recording made on the Apple Watch now goes to the phone in pieces, and the phone shows its progress, for example "14 of 60 pieces transferred". Before this, a very long watch recording could fail to reach the phone at all. It now arrives and appears in your meetings.
On a Mac, a recording of a phone call now keeps going when the call starts, ends or switches speakers. Before, it paused for a moment each time, and a few seconds of the meeting were lost at every switch.
0.1.1.164Mac & Windows 0.2.164
A tidier meetings list, and fairer labels for short gaps on a Mac
On the phone, every mark on a meeting row, such as "Transcribing", "Imported", "Over the limit" or "Recording was cut short", is now the same rounded pill outlined in the colour of its own word. Until now there had been two different styles.
At the bottom of the phone's meetings list, the last meeting now fades softly away above "New recording" instead of being cut off flat under it, and the button looks the same as it does on the Mac. While you record, "Discard" is now a proper button rather than a lone red word.
In a meeting with several speakers, the row of names now fades out at whichever end has more names hidden, instead of cutting a name in half.
A Mac recording that lost only a second or two here and there is no longer labelled "Recording was cut short". It now shows a calm "Short gaps in the recording" card that says how many gaps there were and where they fall. A recording that really stopped says when it stopped and for how long.
On a Mac with a wide window, "Coming up" and the suggestion cards now sit in a column beside your meetings instead of on top of them. A third of the window had been left empty.
A brand-new account now opens on "Record your first meeting", in the middle of the screen with the recording button right under it. Before, most of that first screen was empty.
0.1.1.163Mac & Windows 0.2.163
Chui for Windows now updates itself
Chui for Windows finds and downloads new versions on its own, then asks before it closes: press "Install now" and it installs and comes back. Until now it could not update itself at all, and updating meant closing the app by hand.
If you would rather not stop what you are doing, just quit Chui normally and the update goes in as you leave — Chui stays closed instead of reopening on you.
Pressing "Install now" during a recording no longer closes the app under you: Chui waits, keeps recording, and asks again the moment you stop the meeting.
On a Mac, updating works exactly as it always has, including "Check for Updates…".
0.1.1.162Mac & Windows 0.2.162
Nothing visible in this build
This build has nothing a person can see or act on — the work went into our servers and the checks we run before a release, and no screen, control or behaviour has changed.
0.1.1.161Mac & Windows 0.2.161
Chui for Mac updates itself again, and Android can buy Pro
If you press "Check for Updates…" during a recording, Chui now answers "Chui will update as soon as the recording ends." and tells you how it went once you have stopped — and nothing about downloading or updating ever appears over the record screen.
"Update now" no longer sits there doing nothing when an update is already installing: it either carries on or says plainly what is happening.
After a Mac has been asleep for a day or more, Chui looks for a new version within a minute of waking, rather than waiting hours.
On an Android phone, "Subscription" in Settings opens again and "Get Pro" completes the purchase and switches Pro on. Buying Pro on Android had not been possible.
0.1.1.159Mac & Windows 0.2.159

0.1.1.157Mac & Windows 0.2.157
Question cards read names back exactly, and a copied meeting keeps its name
Questions such as "Delete meeting", "Remove" on a file and "Rename" now read a name back exactly as you typed it, including dollar signs and braces. Odd punctuation used to mangle or duplicate the sentence.
On a small phone, "Report a problem" keeps its question visible when the keyboard comes up, and the card scrolls so "Cancel" is reachable.
On a Mac or in a browser, pressing Tab inside a confirmation card now moves only between that card's own buttons and comes back around, instead of landing on things behind the dimmed background.
Copying a meeting out now puts its name at the top as a heading, instead of leaving it looking like the first thing somebody said.
The three buttons on "Connect your calendar" are the same width, and each label sits on one line.
0.1.1.156Mac & Windows 0.2.156
Recordings survive the app being stopped, and answers appear where you pressed
If Chui is stopped while a recording is running, opening it again within a few minutes puts you back on the same recording with the clock still going and your notes in the box, and "Stop" where "Discard" had been. Until now that recording simply ended and nothing carried it on.
A meeting you paused for a while and then carried on with is no longer wrongly labelled "Recording was cut short" when it is finished. The pause itself was being counted as missing audio.
Pressing "Play" now always answers within about ten seconds: either the recording starts, or "This recording cannot be played." appears directly under the play button instead of far below the transcript.
On a Mac or in a wide browser window, "Settings" now puts its reply right under the card you pressed — "Sign out on other devices", or "Reconnect" under "Calendar" — and shows it again if you press a second time. The reply used to land at the very bottom of the page, out of sight.
0.1.1.155Mac & Windows 0.2.155
Calls that block recording, sign-in that answers, correct yearly price
Pressing "New recording" while you are on a phone call now says "A call is using the microphone" with a "Retry" button under it. It used to blame other apps that had nothing to do with it, which sent people looking in the wrong place.
"Sign in with Apple" now gives you an answer within a few seconds if the sign-in window never appears, and says something gentler if the window was simply pushed aside by something else on screen. It could sit on "Signing in…" indefinitely — one person waited more than nine minutes.
When you have used the month's free meetings and also have older locked ones, the meetings list now asks for Chui Pro once at the top, with a quiet plain-text way in at the foot. The same offer used to appear twice on one screen.
Buttons that hand a page to your browser — "What's new", "Chui for desktop", the invitation link, "Connect" on the assistants card and "The steps, screen by screen" — now say so when the page will not open, and that sentence stays on screen instead of being wiped a moment later by the list refreshing underneath it.
Under "Subscription" the yearly plan reads €99.99 a year everywhere and in every language; one place had it a penny short. If only one of the two plans is on sale, that one is now drawn properly rather than leaving half the screen blank.
The download page on chui.io now leads with the machine you are reading it on, names the Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android apps, and on a computer starts the download by itself with a line saying which one it is fetching.
0.1.1.154Mac & Windows 0.2.154
Settings rows re-date themselves at midnight, and the download link works with a trailing slash
Left open past midnight, Settings now moves rows under "Public links" and "Devices" from "today" to "yesterday" on its own; they used to keep calling yesterday's meetings today's until you reopened the screen. If a question such as stopping a link is standing open when the day turns, nothing is rewritten under your hand — the screen catches up once you answer.
A connected calendar with no meetings on the day now stays connected and healthy. It had been treated as unreachable and offered "Reconnect" even though it had been read perfectly well.
The chui.io download address now opens the Mac and Windows downloads when it is pasted with a slash on the end, instead of a page saying the file does not exist.
0.1.1.153Mac & Windows 0.2.153
Shared links open in the reader's language, and clearer meeting names
A meeting you share by link now opens in the reader's own language, and the header of that page lets them switch between six languages with the link still working. The page used to come up in the language the meeting was held in, with no way to change it; the summary and transcript stay in whatever was actually spoken.
On a Mac, a call held in a browser tab is now offered for recording under that browser's name — there had been a row named after a piece of the system that nobody was meeting in. On Windows, a recording now carries the name of the app the call is in, instead of being filed as "Untitled".
Stopping a recording on a Mac or a Windows PC while it is paused now gives the meeting the right time; it used to be dated late by the whole length of the pause. Changing the microphone and pressing "Stop" at the same instant no longer throws the last moment of the recording away — it is kept.
On an Android phone, a sign-in page that fails to open now says so instead of leaving you with nothing at all, and the next tap signs you in once the connection is back.
A colleague whose company pays for Chui no longer finds his older meetings locked behind his own free plan. An owner whose Pro has lapsed is now told that approving a waiting colleague is part of Chui Pro, rather than agreeing to a new monthly charge and only then being refused.
0.1.1.152Mac & Windows 0.2.152
Clearer settings rows, honest microphone warnings, and a "New recording" button
The button that starts a recording now reads "New recording" everywhere — on the side rail, on the phone's bottom bar and on the watch — and the empty meetings list says "Tap “New recording” to start".
Every row in Settings now says what it is set to without your having to open it — your plan, which calendar is connected, how many devices and public links you have, how many colleagues are on your team, and whether you are helping improve Chui. Change something inside a row and the row updates, rather than showing you the old answer.
When a microphone is muted in hardware or unplugged, Chui now says "Chui cannot hear the microphone" and names the device about twenty seconds in, and picking a working one from the microphone button beside the recording bar clears it. The warning about your voice being too quiet is gone for good; it used to appear on perfectly good recordings while a genuinely dead microphone said nothing.
Changing the microphone or plugging in headphones mid-meeting no longer loses about five seconds of the recording, and no longer produces a warning blaming the machine straight afterwards. The seconds around the switch are kept and the recording carries on.
On an Android phone, tapping the "Meeting ready" notification opens that meeting. Those notifications never arrived at all before.
Signing out now asks with a small confirmation above the row rather than turning its own label red.
0.1.1.151Mac & Windows 0.2.151
Pro on the phone, a visible live recording, and Windows audio recovery
Buying Chui Pro on the iPhone now switches Pro on within a few seconds of Apple confirming the payment, and "Restore purchases" brings it back on a second phone. Purchases made on the phone were not reaching Chui at all, and the phone would keep retrying without ever finishing.
While a recording is running, "Meetings" now lifts it out of its day into its own block at the top, with a red edge and the words "Active recording" and "Live" over it, and it appears only once in the list. It used to be a single line of text among the rest.
On Windows, when one side of the call went silent part-way through, the rest of that side was lost for the whole meeting. Chui now notices the silence and picks the sound back up.
A locked meeting, or one over the month's limit, now shows a "Chui Pro" box with a price and a button you can press, straight after launching the app. Somebody in a company sees a sentence naming the owner who can lift it, instead of a box with nothing to press.
The device menu beside the recording bar, and "Settings", now say "Changing one while recording costs a moment of the meeting." under the device rows while a recording is running, and drop the line once you stop.
"Chui can barely hear you" no longer appears on a good microphone in a quiet room or on a headset, where it had been firing on recordings that were perfectly fine.
0.1.1.150Mac & Windows 0.2.150
Empty transcripts fixed, and clearer answers about payment
A Bulgarian meeting that came back with nothing in it now gets a second attempt at transcription before Chui gives up — around one meeting in twenty was finishing with an empty transcript, some of them three quarters of an hour long. Short meetings also finish in seconds instead of sitting on "Transcribing".
When you have used the ten free meetings for the month, the top of the meetings list now shows a full "Chui Pro" card you can press, instead of a small grey line — including when the list is empty because you deleted everything.
In "Settings" then "Subscription", a phone whose Apple ID already bought Chui Pro on a different Chui account now shows no price at all, just the sentence saying the subscription belongs to another account and a button to sign in with it. You could previously be charged a second time for somebody else's subscription. Prices also now appear within a few seconds on a poor connection rather than the card waiting indefinitely.
0.1.1.149Mac & Windows 0.2.149
Clearer subscription, audio and transcript details across devices
In "Settings" then "Subscription", a payment that has gone through but has not switched Pro on yet now says so clearly, with "Look again" as a proper, tappable button rather than a grey line of text. The price, the renewal date and where to cancel are stated on the same screen.
If your company already uses Chui, the free plan no longer offers to sell you a team of your own — it points you at asking for a seat instead. You could previously pay for a team you would then be refused.
A speaker whose name contains a colon, such as "Dr Ivan: sales", now stays whole when you use "Copy" on the transcript. The name used to come apart into a speaker and a stray word.
On Windows, having a browser tab open no longer pins "Chui cannot hear the meeting audio" on a recording that is fine, and on a Mac an in-person meeting with a call window open is no longer accused of a broken sound permission. When Windows genuinely cannot hear the meeting audio, the message no longer sends you to a Mac settings screen.
On the watch, the line explaining that a recording never reached your phone is now larger than the file size beside it and wraps onto a second line instead of being cut off.
0.1.1.148Mac & Windows 0.2.148
Subscriptions on mobile, plus recording and list refinements
On the phone, "Settings" then "Subscription" now shows the App Store prices and "Restore purchases", and once a payment goes through the screen says the payment was taken instead of showing the prices again. There was no way to pay from the phone at all before.
On Android, pressing "Stop" while a recording is paused now gives a meeting whose length, and whose "Recording was cut short" warning, match what was actually recorded. The time spent paused used to be counted in.
Taps in the meetings list now land while a recording is still uploading or transcribing. Buttons such as "Not now" could be swallowed by the list redrawing underneath your finger.
In "Report a problem", an empty box now says that "Send" is waiting for a sentence, so attaching a picture and finding "Send" greyed out no longer leaves you guessing.
0.1.1.147Mac & Windows 0.2.147
Shared meetings play their recording, and meetings can be reported
On a meeting a colleague shared with the team you can now choose "Report this meeting", or "Block" the person who shared it. Blocking hides the meetings they share and hides yours from them, and "Unblock" in "Privacy" brings everything back as it was. A public summary page now has a small link at the bottom for reporting it, and sending a report shows a confirmation page.
On a wide window, "Get Pro" from a locked meeting, the meetings list or "Team" now opens "Settings" straight at "Subscription", highlighted in the left column. It used to open at the top of "Settings" instead.
Pressing Command-F while "Settings" is open over your meetings now closes it and puts you in a search field you can see. The cursor used to land in a search box hidden behind the dialogue. Tapping the magnifier while "Settings" is open does the same, and a question asking whether to delete something is left open if you press Command-F.
Pressing Escape twice now closes a question and then "Settings" behind it. The second press used to be lost.
On the Mac, recording an in-person meeting with no call running no longer makes "Chui cannot hear the meeting audio" switch on and off by itself. The level meter also no longer disappears.
On a meeting over the free limit after a new month has started, only the free retry button is now filled in amber. "Get Pro" beneath it is drawn as a plain outline, so it no longer looks like the main choice.
0.1.1.146Mac & Windows 0.2.146
Paying says so, locked meetings are counted, and the Mac holds its sound
On a phone, tapping a line in the transcript now jumps the audio to that exact moment, the same place it lands in a browser. On long meetings it used to play from the wrong point.
After paying at chui.io, "Subscription" now says the payment was taken and that Pro is switching on, then shows the live subscription instead of a price. You used to land back on the meetings list with nothing saying Pro had arrived.
On the Mac, the microphone button now sits at the left of the recording bar and opens a full list of devices, so you can change microphone mid-meeting with the level meter following the device actually in use. Brief sound dropouts now cost about half a second rather than three and a half, and the menu bar icon is the Chui mark instead of a blank square.
0.1.1.145Mac & Windows 0.2.145
The Mac says when it cannot hear, and Team lives in one place
While a meeting still says "Uploading", the red "Delete meeting" is now hidden and comes back on its own once the audio has arrived. Deleting at that moment used to be possible, and the recording could be lost before it ever reached us.
On the Mac, if the meeting is playing somewhere Chui cannot hear — a call app opened after recording started, or headphones chosen mid-meeting — the record screen now says so after about half a minute of silence, and says what to press. It used to stay quiet once it had heard any sound at all, so half a meeting could go missing without a word.
Settings now keeps everything about your team in "Team": the name, "New meetings", your colleagues, the invitations waiting to be claimed, "Invite a colleague" and leaving the team. It was split across two places before.
In Settings → "Public links", tapping a row now opens that meeting so you can read what a stranger sees; "Stop the link" stays on the right of the row. The row used to have nothing pressable on it but that red button.
The sharing sheet now has a "What they see" heading above "The summary only" and "The summary and the transcript", so the two are clearly a choice rather than two more ticked steps. The top of the meetings list now reads "Meetings" instead of the Chui wordmark, which stays in the side rail on a wide window.
0.1.1.144Mac & Windows 0.2.144
Chui arrives as a new iPhone app, and silent stops now tell you
On iPhone, Chui now comes as a separate app rather than an update, and the old app no longer receives notifications. Keep the old one until the new one has signed you in and shows your meetings, and until no meeting in the old one still says "Uploading" or "Waiting for a connection".
Some phones had quietly stopped getting the notification that a meeting's transcript and summary are ready. They get it again now.
If a recording on your phone stops on its own, with no call and no pause, "Open Chui to keep recording" now appears within a few seconds. It used to appear only after a call or a "Pause", so a recording could stop with no warning and the rest of the meeting went unrecorded.
A meeting that Chui recovered after the app was stopped, and that has a gap in the middle, now shows "Recording was cut short" instead of looking complete.
Importing an empty file now says "The file is empty.", and importing a video says "Chui cannot read this file. Choose an audio recording." Each now shows only that message in your own language, without English error text added after it.
0.1.1.143Mac 0.1.143
Cancelling straight away, voice names on long meetings, and a readable QR code
Meetings longer than about four hours now come back with names on the voices, not just a transcript and a summary.
When there is no connection, your meetings list and a single meeting now say "Could not load your meetings. Chui keeps trying." in your own language, instead of an English message from the browser.
A connected assistant can now delete a meeting for you, and merge two entries that are the same person. It reads the details back and waits for your yes before doing either.
"QR code" now fills the screen with the code, the meeting's name above it and a proper "Close" button underneath — the code used to sit small in one corner with bare text under it.
On the free plan, the line telling you how many meetings are left this month now stands out above the list rather than fading in with the small grey captions.
0.1.1.142Mac 0.1.142
Resume picks up at once, and a busy microphone no longer costs a meeting
Pressing "Resume" after a pause now carries on recording immediately. If you had left Chui in the background while paused, the first few seconds after resuming used to go unrecorded; they are now kept.
Starting a meeting while another app is holding the microphone now shows "Could not start recording" with a "Retry" button that stays on screen and starts the meeting once the other app lets go. A momentary clash used to mean losing the meeting altogether.
In Meetings with no calendar connected, only "Connect a calendar" now sits above the list; the "Get Chui for Mac" card waits its turn, so your first meeting is much nearer the top of the screen.
A meeting older than thirty days now says what Chui Pro opens instead of quoting a price, and the pencil beside a meeting's title sits in its own small box so it reads as something you can press to rename it.
On a phone, the copy and download icons now sit a clear gap away from the "Notes" tab — tapping just beside the tabs used to copy the whole summary by accident.
0.1.1.141Mac 0.1.141
Finished recordings catch up on their own, and the paused bar reads right
A finished recording could sit on the phone for hours without being sent, even though it was meant to go up on its own; it now resumes as soon as you open Chui, and no audio was lost while it waited.
While a recording is held, the bar shows the word "Paused" in full rather than cut off on most iPhones, drops the back arrow and hides the clock while nothing is being counted, and "Resume" and "Stop" are now the same size as each other.
In Meetings, the day headings run newest first with no day repeated, so each heading matches the meetings under it. Two recordings still going up are also told apart: the one being sent says "Uploading" and the one still waiting says "Waiting for a connection".
A meeting marked "Over the limit" now names the month it was counted against, so one stopped in August still says August when you open it in September — the heading used to switch to the new month.
"Report a problem" on a short screen or a phone held sideways now shows the question and the text box together, with a scroll bringing "Send" and "Cancel" into reach.
0.1.1.139Mac 0.1.139
Fixes and improvements
On the phone, sharing now sits at the top of a meeting beside its title, with a clear gap between the two, and it opens the phone's own share sheet. "Settings" also has a new "Public links" section listing every meeting you have published, when it was published and how many times it has been opened; stopping a link asks you first and explains that the address stops working for everybody holding it.
A meeting marked "Over the limit" now carries a quiet button reading "Try again on" the day your free meetings come back, instead of an inviting amber button that could not work yet; once the new month has started it is pressable and does the work.
On a locked meeting, the "Chui Pro" block is now the only strong control — "Delete meeting" used to be the loudest thing on a screen whose message is that nothing was deleted.
While a recording runs, the meeting appears as a live row in your meetings list, the section above it reads "Recording" rather than "Coming up", and the red pill over the tabs counts up. The list used to show no sign of the recording in progress.
"Recording was cut short" and "Recording is lost" are now set at the same size as the rest of the row, rather than shrunk smaller than every other word on the screen.
0.1.1.138
Connecting an assistant happens inside Chui, and a call no longer hides the second it costs
"Connect" on the assistant card in Meetings now opens a walkthrough inside Chui — the steps screen by screen, the Chui address with a button to copy it, and a switch between the two assistants — instead of sending you out to a web page. Once you finish in the other window, the line "Chui is connected." appears here on its own.
A connected assistant can now change things, not just read them: rename a meeting, correct its summary or notes, say who was speaking, change what is in "Settings", run a team, and make or stop a link to a summary. Before anything that cannot be undone it asks you by name and waits for your answer.
If Chui gets something wrong while you are talking to an assistant, you can report it from that conversation; it used to mean leaving and finding "Report a problem" yourself.
When a phone call interrupts a recording, the meeting now reports the second or so lost while the microphone came back. It used to say the whole meeting had been captured.
A recording left unfinished on the phone now goes up by itself when Chui is open and becomes an ordinary meeting; you no longer have to notice the card and press "Recover". No audio was lost either way.
0.1.1.137Mac 0.1.137
The empty meetings screen leads with recording, and a meeting cut short still becomes a meeting
With nothing recorded yet, "Tap “Record” to start." now leads the phone's meetings screen in full-size type, with "Coming up" and the calendar prompt below it; record one meeting and they move back above the list. The calendar prompt also sits in a box of its own, so the "Coming up" caption only ever stands over actual meetings.
A meeting that failed now says which kind of failure it was in words: one whose audio survived still reads "Failed", while one whose audio is gone reads "Recording is lost". The two used to be spelled the same and differ only in colour.
If the app was stopped in the middle of a long meeting, everything already saved arrived in a form nothing could open, and the meeting failed rather than becoming a meeting at all. The server now rebuilds it, so it goes through as an ordinary meeting — transcript, summary and playback — carrying a note that Chui rebuilt the recording and that the end of the meeting is missing. While a meeting runs, the phone also keeps the upload within about a minute and a half of where you are, across changes between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
On a meeting with a voice still unnamed, that speaker's chip comes first in the row and is the only bright one, with the people you have already named dimmed behind it; naming it settles the row back to normal.
The small times inside the transcript are now drawn like the ones in the summary — underlined and in full ink — and still jump the audio to that moment. A meeting's title now shows a full-ink pencil and a thin outline of the field it becomes, and the letters no longer shift when you press it.
A two-minute meeting reads as two minutes rather than "1:60", including when an assistant reads the length aloud. The pages on chui.io now open in your own language instead of always in Bulgarian.
0.1.1.136Mac 0.1.136
Settings gets its bearings, and notes typed late still reach the summary
On the phone, the strip of section names at the top of "Settings" now marks the section you are actually in as you scroll, and tapping the last two, "Privacy" and "About", scrolls you to them and keeps them marked. Neither used to happen.
The value beside "New meetings" in "Settings" no longer breaks in half mid-word — it moves onto its own line and wraps at a space.
While "Discard this recording?" is on screen, the "Stop" button behind it goes grey and cannot be pressed, and returns to its normal colour once the question is dismissed. It used to stay lit and live beside the question.
"Delete my account" now sits on a card of its own, a clear gap below the card holding "Sign out" — the two were adjacent rows a hairline apart, easy to hit by mistake.
In your devices, "Sign out on other devices" is drawn as a proper button at the foot of the card, with its label fitting inside it. It was plain text that did not look pressable.
Notes you type during a meeting are folded into the summary even when you keep typing after the recording has stopped. If a summary was written before your last words landed, "Write the summary again" at the foot of the summary picks them up.
0.1.1.135Mac 0.1.135
A calmer meeting card on the Mac, and merging says it can be undone
On the Mac, the card that appears when a call starts is now a single row: the meeting and the app it is in, a "Record" button with a "More" chevron beside it, "Hide" in the corner, and a thin bar along the bottom that counts down about ten seconds and holds while your pointer rests on the card. A screenshot taken while the card is on screen now captures it, instead of coming out blank.
If you let that card go without touching it, the offer is still waiting for you inside the Chui window. "Turn off offers for Chrome" under the chevron takes effect at once and an undo row for it appears under "This Mac", even if that screen was already open.
Dragging a long meetings list on the phone no longer darkens each row your finger passes over — a deliberate tap still highlights the row and opens it.
The sheet you get from "Merge" on a person now ends by telling you the merge comes back with "Split" within thirty days, so you know it is not final. In "Settings", the list of names is now sized by its longest entry, so none of them is cut off mid-word.
Pressing "Send yourself the link" on the "Get Chui for Mac" card now puts the card away for good once the share has actually gone through, and its "Hide" corner does the same. "Chui for desktop" is always in "Settings", under "App", so the link is never lost.
Opening a link to the sample meetings on a new account now shows a quiet "Loading the sample meetings…" while they arrive. It used to say "No meetings yet" for several seconds first, as though the account were empty.
0.1.1.134Mac 0.1.134
The calendar is offered right after sign-in, and the transcript sits beside the summary
Signing in with Google or Microsoft now leads straight to "Connect your calendar", with the address you just used already on the highlighted button, "Connect another account" under it, and "Later" to go straight to "Meetings". Before, the calendar was never asked about at sign-up.
That screen can no longer strand you: a slow answer used to be able to leave a blank page with nothing to press, and it now waits visibly and then takes you to "Meetings" on its own. If your workplace blocks calendar access, the screen that follows says "Your administrator has to approve Chui" and "Send the link by email" is fully readable on a narrow phone instead of being cut off mid-word.
While recording, "Notes during the meeting…" is now a proper box with an edge and a caret that turns amber when you tap into it — it was grey text under a grey hint, with nothing to show it could be typed in.
In a wide browser or Mac window, "Transcript" now stands beside "Summary" rather than replacing it. Tapping a timestamp moves the transcript and the audio without wiping the summary, and resizing the window keeps your place in the recording.
A recording could stop being sent up and simply sit on the phone, with nothing said and no transcript or summary ever arriving — every later attempt saw "one of these is already in progress" and did nothing. A send that stops answering is now noticed and the next attempt goes ahead.
On the Mac, rows and titles in the meetings list and in the section above it sit a little tighter, now that there is a pointer rather than a thumb. Nothing changes size on the phone.
0.1.1.133Mac 0.1.133
The lock screen stops showing a frozen timer, and uploads show real progress
The card on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island no longer counts the minutes while your phone is in your pocket — it used to freeze early and sit there reading a few minutes while the meeting was three quarters of an hour in. It now says the recording is running without a clock that lies, and the meeting itself is still recorded end to end.
"Uploading" now shows how far the recording has actually got, rather than moving at the same rate whether anything was being sent or not. And drawing that progress can never itself be the reason an upload fails — a browser that refuses to redraw the row used to look to Chui like a part that had not been sent.
In "Report a problem", "Send" is now the prominent button and "Cancel" beneath it is the quiet one — they were drawn the other way round — and "Attach a picture" and "Remove" sit where you would expect them.
On the Mac, an update now finishes with "Relaunch", which closes and reopens Chui for you. It used to tell you to quit and reopen it by hand.
A new account can be filled with five sample meetings, transcripts and summaries included, by opening chui.io/samples while signed in — useful for seeing what a finished meeting looks like before you record your own.
0.1.1.132Mac 0.1.132
Meetings left on the phone finish, and a missed alarm arrives with a sound
A meeting you finished could stay on the phone, fully recorded but never uploaded, with nothing on screen saying so — hours of recordings could sit there unnoticed. The phone and the server now compare what each of them holds, so a meeting left behind is spotted and finishes uploading.
With "Meeting reminders" set to "Alarm", a reminder whose moment passed while the phone was asleep now arrives with a sound, once. It used to come through silently, or twice.
If two connected calendars both carry the same meeting, "Coming up" now lists it once, offers one reminder for it, and marks it "Recorded" after you record it — it used to appear twice.
A meeting card in "Coming up" now prints the meeting's hours and shows "Record" straight away, instead of hiding it behind a press-and-hold. If your phone changes country, the hours are re-spelled to match.
In "People", merging two entries now keeps the other name as well, so a later meeting where that name is spoken still finds the right person. Before, that name was thrown away.
On the Mac, each screen has its own title bar with its own actions, "Search" sits beside the traffic lights and closes "Settings" when pressed, "Record" is drawn in the near-white rather than the colour that means "you are here", and rows in "Meetings" use the full width of a wide window.
0.1.1.131Mac 0.1.131
A meeting stuck on the phone now finishes, and a summary can be shared as a link
A finished meeting has "Make a link": it gives an address on chui.io that anybody you send it to can open to read the summary, while the recording and the transcript stay with you. The screen says how many times it has been opened, and "Stop the link" makes the old address dead.
The top of the meetings list can now show an invitation — "Get Chui for Mac", or "Your meetings — in Claude and ChatGPT" — one at a time and never more, with "Later" to put it away.
"Settings" opens as a short front page with one door per area rather than one long scroll, and each door lands you on the part you asked for.
In "People", short names and nicknames for the same person are now recognised as one contact instead of sitting as separate entries. If it gets one wrong, "Split" separates them again and they stay separate after you leave the screen and come back.
The app's name is written as "Chui", with a capital, everywhere you read it — the meetings screen, "About", the lock-screen notice — and a summary downloaded from a meeting with no title is now named after the app rather than in lower case. The reminder before a meeting starts also comes through when your phone is set to a Focus, which it was meant to do and did not.
0.1.1.130Mac 0.1.130
Discard moves off the notes area, and one shape for every status
While a recording runs, "Discard" now stands on its own line just above the bar at the bottom, with the recording's controls rather than on the page you type on. It used to sit in the middle of the notes area — the one surface on that screen you actually use — where a thumb going there to start writing could land on the control that throws the meeting away.
With no meetings yet, the prompt reads "Tap “Record” to start." and names the button by the word printed on it, instead of pointing at a dot that is nowhere on screen; and when a recording stalls on the phone, the message tells you to tap "Resume", which is the word on that button.
In "Meetings", every state — "Transcribing", "Imported", "Failed", "Recording was cut short" — is now drawn as the same small pill rather than three different shapes, and a meeting that failed but whose audio is safe reads differently from one whose audio is gone.
On the "Summary" tab, the chip for a speaker who has not been named looks pressable rather than switched off, and tapping it opens "Who is speaking?" as it always did.
On a meeting screen, aiming at "Notes" changes tab instead of catching "Copy" or "Download" beside it, and the rows in "Who is speaking?" are easier to hit.
Nothing on screen: while a meeting is being recorded Chui sends it up in pieces, and its own record of how that went is now kept per meeting. A send that failed after you pressed stop used to be counted against whatever you recorded next, so one meeting could be written down as having no failures while another carried a failure that was not its own.
0.1.1.129Mac 0.1.129
A failed sign-in on the Mac says so instead of going quiet
On the Mac, signing in with Apple or Google while the computer cannot reach the internet now tells you it did not work. Before, the screen quietly went back to the start as though you had pressed "Cancel", leaving nothing to explain it.
When an upload cannot reach the server, the "Report a problem" you send now names what kind of failure it was — the connection never opened, it ran out of time, or the server stopped answering — along with the reason the phone was given, instead of only saying that something went wrong. Nothing looks different while you use Chui; it means a problem you report can be worked out afterwards.
0.1.1.128Mac 0.1.128
Clearer wording on Record, and a safer way to remove a calendar
The line under the timer on the Record screen now reads "You can leave this screen — the recording keeps going. If you close the app, it stops." It used to lead with the warning, which read as though moving to another screen would end the recording.
In "Meetings", a meeting still being written up shows "Transcribing" in a small outlined pill instead of dim text that looked like the length of the meeting, and while a recording is ending, "Stopping…" and the dot beside it go quiet together rather than one staying bright.
On the "Summary" tab, the timestamps in the body are no longer picked out in amber, so "Write the summary again" is the one thing the colour points you to.
When a recording was cut short or something failed, the sentence explaining what you can do next is in normal page ink rather than the faintest text on the screen, including in boxes that offer "Retry".
In "Settings", a calendar that needs attention now shows "Reconnect" as the filled amber button and "Remove" in red; "Remove" asks first, naming the account and saying its upcoming meetings disappear while your recordings stay. Dismissing that question removes nothing, and if the removal does not go through you are told why.
"Send" on "Report a problem" stays grey and unpressable until "What happened?" holds an actual sentence, instead of looking ready to send an empty report; and opening a person from "People" shows their details before "Rename" and "Merge", with a rename in progress no longer wiping the name you are typing.
0.1.1.127Mac 0.1.127
Alarms ring without opening Chui, and a recording survives a force-quit
If Chui was closed or force-quit while a meeting was being recorded, opening it again brings you back to Record, still recording the same meeting, with the running time carried on from the file. Before, it could forget the recording was under way and offer only "Discard", which would have deleted an hour of audio for good.
While a recording is under way, the card at the top of the app reads "Chui is recording" for that meeting wherever you are, and "Stop" ends it with the whole recording kept.
With "Meeting reminders" set to "Alarm", the alarm now rings for your next calendar meeting even if you have not opened Chui all day, with "Stop" and "Record" on it. It used to ring only if Chui happened to have been open in time. If your phone refuses alarms you read "iOS did not allow alarms. We will send a notification."
Changing "When" or "Which" takes effect for the next reminder on its own, without you opening the app again.
A calendar account that includes a holiday calendar keeps feeding "Coming up" promptly as meetings are created, and no longer asks you to "Reconnect" when nothing was wrong with the connection.
0.1.1.126Mac 0.1.126
Meetings grouped by day, and a steadier Record screen
The meetings list is now cut into groups under day headings such as "today" and "yesterday", with each row showing only the clock time; a meeting you never named reads "Untitled" in the name slot instead of a bare date.
On the Summary tab, a timestamp inside a bullet is larger and easier to hit, and each one now starts playback from its own moment — two bullets stacked together could previously both play the lower one. The speaker chips are comfortably tappable, and "Who is speaking?" opens a full-width field at a readable size rather than a cramped box.
On the Record screen, "Discard" now sits inside an outlined box, well clear of "Stop", instead of floating as a small red word just above it; the recording itself is shown in red and only the way to end it in amber; and the line about keeping the app open reads "Don't close the app — the recording stops."
In "People", "Rename" and "Merge" are full-sized boxed controls rather than thin underlined words, and on "Report a problem" only "Send" is highlighted, so it is clear what finishes the report. The build stamp on the sign-in screen is legible now.
Accepting the offer to record a meeting in a browser now records it. Before, it could capture nothing at all, leaving you with an empty meeting. A second call running behind another video is noticed too, and the offer appears when a meeting is about to start rather than waiting for someone to speak.
The setup for "Connect an assistant" is now two illustrated pages on chui.io, one for each assistant, with a switcher at the top and a picture for every step, in place of a long page of prose. Changes in your calendar also reach "Coming up" as they happen instead of after a wait.
0.1.1.125Mac 0.1.125
Settings rebuilt, with light mode and one Settings screen on the Mac
"Settings" has been redrawn: each option now sits on a control that suits the question instead of a long run of identical rows, and "Sign out" and "Delete my account" sit on a card at the bottom rather than reading as plain links. Under "Devices", every device except the one you are holding has its own "Sign out" beside it, and the confirmation names that device.
"Appearance" is new, with "System", "Light" and "Dark" — Chui follows your device unless you choose one yourself.
"Ask about your meetings" now sits in Settings with "Connect Claude" in its footer, and the steps behind it have been rewritten so they work start to finish for either of the two assistants Chui supports. The invitation disappears once an assistant is connected, and comes back if you sign that assistant out from another device.
On the Mac there is now one Settings screen rather than two separate panels — ⌘, opens the same one, with a "This Mac" section for the microphone, output device, the offer to record and opening at login. On a wide window it floats over your meetings in two columns with the record dock still running underneath, and Escape, the dimmed background or × closes it; while you are renaming a meeting, Escape only cancels the rename.
Copy and download have moved onto the line the tabs sit on, at the right-hand end, instead of taking a full-width strip of their own between the tabs and the player. They act on whatever the tab is showing — the summary on one, the transcript on the other — and are reachable without scrolling to the end of a long transcript.
0.1.1.122Mac 0.1.122
Meeting reminders can now be an alarm, and recorded meetings say so
"Profile" now has a meeting reminders section under "Calendar" with three choices: "How" ("None", "Notification" or "Alarm"), "When" ("At the start", "1 min before" or "5 min before") and "Which" ("Only with other people" or "All meetings"). The choices are kept on your account, so they hold when you reopen the screen and match across your phone and the browser.
If your phone refuses alarms, the row says "iOS did not allow alarms. We will send a notification." and you get a notification instead. Switching "How" to "None" before the meeting, or removing the meeting from your calendar, stops the alarm before it rings.
A recording now remembers which calendar meeting it belongs to, so an entry in "Coming up" shows "Recorded" in place of its time — while the meeting is still running as well — and tapping it opens the recording instead of offering to record it again.
0.1.1.121Mac 0.1.121
Fixes and improvements
If you decline the permission screen you now see "Access was declined. Try again if you did not mean to." once, and the connect button works normally afterwards instead of the app trying again on its own.
0.1.1.120Mac 0.1.120
Fixes and improvements
"Profile" now has "Delete my account", which explains plainly what goes, declines while a recording is running, and leaves nothing of yours behind if you sign in again afterwards.
Audio that had uploaded correctly could be removed by an overnight clean-up, leaving a meeting with nothing to play. That no longer happens.
You now get one notification when a meeting is ready, and no "something went wrong" notices for meetings that finished normally — a single meeting could previously send several.
0.1.1.119Mac 0.1.119
Easier to hit on a phone: names, tabs, Back and more
Tapping a speaker's name above a line of the transcript now opens "Who is speaking?" first time. The name sits in a comfortably sized target instead of a thin strip of text you had to aim at.
The extra space in a transcript now sits above each speaker's name rather than between the name and the words below it, so each turn reads as one block.
The row of "Summary", "Transcript" and "Notes" is comfortable to tap on a narrow screen, the thin line under it is still drawn, and the mark for the tab you are on sits over that line rather than beside it.
"Back", "Retry" in the error box, "Sign out" in "Profile", and the whole "Connect a calendar" row under "Coming up" are now full-size targets — the calendar row used to respond only where the words were. Tapping a meeting's title to rename it has a larger area around it, while the title itself is drawn exactly where it was.
0.1.1.118Mac 0.1.118
Recording controls in the top strip, and delete on meeting rows
While a recording is running, the strip along the top of the app now carries both "Pause" and "Stop", and both work from any screen. "Discard" stays on the recording screen only, behind its question, so a recording cannot be thrown away by accident from the strip.
On a Mac or in a browser, hovering a meeting row fades a "Delete" button in at the end of the row without the row sliding sideways, and the Tab key reaches it. On a touchscreen the row still swipes left, and the swipe no longer swallows the tap that opens the meeting.
0.1.1.117Mac 0.1.117
A recording says so in the list, and chui.io has a front page
Start a recording and the meeting appears in "Meetings" as "Recording" with its own running clock. It used to sit there as "Queued" beside a spinner until the recording stopped.
Tapping that live row takes you straight back into the recording screen, with the notes you typed still in the box — before, it opened a waiting screen with nothing on it but a delete button.
Opening chui.io while signed out now shows a page that explains what Chui is and links to the privacy policy, with the app icon in the header in place of a single stray letter.
The headline and opening line of that page read as natural Bulgarian for anyone whose device is set to it.
0.1.1.116Mac 0.1.116
Share a summary out of Chui, and summaries that follow new names
"Summary" and "Transcript" now have a "Share" button above them. On a phone it opens the share sheet, so the text can go to another app with the meeting's name on the first line, the timestamps intact and speakers under the names you gave them; dismissing the sheet without choosing anything copies nothing.
On a Mac or in a desktop browser the same button copies the text straight away and briefly reads "Copied".
Searching inside a meeting only steps through words that were actually said or written. "Share" and the other controls on the screen are no longer counted as matches when you move with "Previous match" and "Next match".
Rename a speaker in a meeting that already has a summary and the summary rewrites itself within about a minute, with the real name in place of "Speaker 2" — you no longer have to press "Write the summary again".
Renaming several voices one after another, or merging and splitting people, now produces one rewritten summary rather than several, and a finished meeting no longer slips back to "Transcribing" or reports a failure while it happens.
0.1.1.115Mac 0.1.115
You can report a problem from inside Chui, and attach a picture to it
A report can carry a picture. Tap "Attach a picture" and pick a screenshot or photo from your library. Chui never photographs your screen on its own — the only image that leaves your phone is one you chose. Swap it for another or press "Remove", and the preview always shows exactly what will be sent.
The line under the box says the same in plain words: nothing from your meetings leaves the phone unless you attach a picture yourself. Choosing a file that is not an image tells you so rather than sending, and a large picture finishes attaching before the report goes out.
0.1.1.114Mac 0.1.114
"Rename" and "Merge" on a person are proper buttons now
On a person's page in the browser, "Rename" and "Merge" are now full-width buttons that take the press you aimed at, instead of small pills you had to aim for. They work the same on a phone browser, with nothing else on the page shifted out of place.
Renaming a person still holds after you leave and reopen them, and the new name shows in every meeting they appear in. Merging still moves exactly the meetings the confirmation said it would, under "Who is the same person?".
0.1.1.113Mac 0.1.113
"Write the summary again" stands out and regenerates the summary
On a meeting, "Write the summary again" at the bottom of "Summary" now reads as something you can press — bright text on the same hairline outline — and pressing it runs and gives you a new summary. It used to look faint and grey beside "Delete meeting", and often did nothing when tapped.
0.1.1.112Mac 0.1.112
The speaker list and a person's buttons now fit a thumb
Choosing who is speaking on a meeting now takes the tap you aimed at: the names in the "Who is speaking?" list stand far enough apart for a thumb, where a press meant for one used to land on the name below it. About five names show at a time where seven did, and the list scrolls to reach the rest.
On a person under "People", "Rename" and "Merge" — and "Split", on someone you have merged — now answer a press anywhere on the word, including its top and bottom edge. Each was a box barely taller than the text inside it, and one of them folds two people into one. The words are drawn exactly as they were, same size and same colour; what grew is the area around them that answers your thumb.
0.1.1.111Mac 0.1.111
Speaker chips on a meeting take the tap you aimed at
The speaker chips in the strip above the tabs on a meeting now open "Who is speaking?" for the chip you pressed, rather than sometimes the one beside it, and a press on the very top or bottom edge of a chip now lands instead of doing nothing.
The chips look exactly as before — same height, same shape, same spacing between the title and the tabs — and they behave the same way on the Mac.
0.1.1.110Mac 0.1.110
Easier taps at the top of Meetings, and a Retry on People
The three round controls across the top of "Meetings" — "Search", "Import a file" and your account — are now easier to hit and each one takes the press you aimed at it, rather than sometimes opening its neighbour. The symbols inside them are the same size as before.
When "People" cannot load because there is no connection, it now says so and offers "Retry" as a button you can press; it used to be a sentence with nothing to do next. Pressing it once the connection is back brings your list of people in without leaving and re-entering the screen.
0.1.1.109Mac 0.1.109
Clearer summaries, and meeting rows that tell a wait from a problem
In "Summary", a bullet that wraps onto a second line now stays inside its bullet and stays indented; the last few words used to drop to the left margin as a paragraph of their own.
Also in "Summary", a bold lead-in such as a heading or a numbered step now starts its own block instead of being swallowed into the bullet above it.
The "Back" control on a meeting is now plain ink rather than amber, so the only amber left on the screen is the timestamp you tap to hear the audio from that point.
In "Meetings", a meeting that is still being processed now sits quietly in grey, and only a meeting with a real problem stands out in red. A wait and a failure used to look alike.
A meeting whose audio was cut off or never arrived is the one marked in red; a meeting that broke after the audio was safely stored is not. Opening it now shows a sentence saying which of the two happened.
0.1.1.108Mac 0.1.108
Report a problem from Profile, and better recovered recordings
"Profile" now has a "Report a problem" row in the "About" group, next to "Version" and "What's new". Before you type anything the sheet tells you what goes with your message — the version, the screen you were on and the app's recent actions — and states plainly that nothing from your meetings is sent.
If the message cannot be sent, for example with no connection, the sheet stays open with the reason and your text still in the box, instead of closing and losing what you wrote.
A meeting brought back with "Recover" is now dated from the moment you started talking, so it sits where you expect it in "Meetings". It used to be dated several minutes later and could land in the wrong part of the list.
A recovered meeting now shows how much of it was captured and how many interruptions there were, where it previously reported zeros for both.
0.1.1.107Mac 0.1.107
Leaving the record screen no longer throws the recording away
The control in the top-left of the record screen now reads "Back" and simply returns you to Meetings with the recording still running. Before, that same corner deleted the recording outright, with nothing to confirm first.
Stopping a recording from the Lock Screen while that question is open now either leaves the question up with a plain explanation or finishes and leaves you on Meetings, rather than dropping you inside a meeting that no longer exists.
On a person's page in People, "Rename" and "Merge" look like the app's own links again, instead of the plain grey system buttons they had turned into.
0.1.1.106Mac 0.1.106
The block above your meetings is now its own card
The area above the meetings list — "Coming up", anything arriving from the watch, and any unfinished recording — now sits in a card of its own, clearly separate from the list. Before, it ran on as part of the list, so a notice could be mistaken for the first meeting.
Tapping a row inside that card highlights it edge to edge, with a thin line between two rows, instead of a small box floating inside the card.
The spacing under "Coming up" now holds whether you have one meeting there, several, or none at all.
0.1.1.105Mac 0.1.105
A Google calendar on the Mac
The Mac and Windows apps can now connect a Google calendar, not only a Microsoft one: you approve access on Google's own screen and come back to "Calendar connected:", where the last step used to end in an error.
The Google option appears on the Mac as soon as Chui's server is set up to offer it; until then the Mac offers Microsoft, exactly as before.
Nothing else changed on the phone or in the browser in this build.
0.1.1.104Mac 0.1.104
Meetings you share with your team, and what stays yours
A finished meeting now has "Who can see this meeting", offering "Mine", "The team" and "Private", and the line under the choices names exactly who each one means. If you own the team you are offered two choices rather than three, because for you the other two would say the same thing.
The meetings list has "Mine" and "Team" above it. A colleague's shared meeting appears under "Team" with the speakers' names already on its row, and a search started from one tab only ever returns meetings from that tab.
A meeting a colleague shared with you opens fully readable but cannot be changed by you: the title stays fixed, and naming a speaker, "Write the summary again", "Retry" and "Delete" — including the swipe — are unavailable.
The first time your account belongs to a team, "You are in a team now" explains what the owner can and cannot see, worded differently for the owner and for a member, and it is shown once rather than at every launch.
In the browser, "Version" under "About" shows the actual build this time, instead of the placeholder word it had always shown.
0.1.1.103Mac 0.1.103
Groundwork for shared accounts — nothing on screen changes
Nothing in this build is visible. Recording, transcription, the meeting list and everything you do with a meeting behave exactly as they did before, on the phone, in the browser and on the Mac.
Underneath, Chui learned what a company is and who belongs to one, so that an account can later be shared by a team. Nothing reads it yet, and until it does, an account on its own works the way it always has.
0.1.1.102Mac 0.1.102
Speakers arrive named, from the invite and from voices Chui knows
Pick the invite under "Which meeting are you recording?" before you record, and the speakers in the finished meeting already carry the names of the people the invite lists, with nothing for you to type.
A voice you have named once is now recognised in your other meetings on the same account, including older ones, and named again on its own.
A name you type yourself under "Who is speaking?" is kept, and an automatic one never quietly replaces it — including when you tap "Write the summary again", where a corrected name could previously revert to the earlier guess.
People named automatically now appear in "People" with the right meeting count, and "Merge" and "Split" work on those entries just as they do on ones you named by hand.
0.1.1.101Mac 0.1.101
Connecting a calendar lands where it should, on every account
Tapping "Connect a calendar" at the top of your meetings list now opens Profile with the "Calendar" section on screen, rather than just above it and out of sight.
Removing access now names the account in the question, so two rows with the same provider can be told apart before you confirm.
When your workplace blocks the connection, coming back from the consent screen takes you straight to the "Your administrator has to approve Chui" message, whether you started from the meetings list or from Profile.
In the browser and on the Mac, scrolling or dragging the scrollbar while the calendar section is still filling in now leaves you where you moved to, instead of pulling you back.
0.1.1.100Mac 0.1.100
Nothing to see in this build
This build changes nothing you can see or do in Chui on the phone, the Watch, the browser or the Mac — the work was all behind the scenes, and the previous build's behaviour stands unchanged.
0.1.1.99Mac 0.1.99
The Mac offer now knows which meeting you are joining
When you join a call that is in your calendar, the menu bar offer and the notification carry the meeting's own name instead of just «call», and recording starts under that title.
Accepting an offer twice — a double-click, or once in the menu bar and once on the banner — now starts one recording rather than two.
Taking a named offer settles the matter for that meeting: the usual pre-meeting card no longer appears afterwards to ask you about the same thing a second time.
A call with nothing in your calendar for that window still gets the plain «Zoom looks like it is in a call» offer, with no name borrowed from an unrelated meeting.
An in-person meeting whose invite merely links to a conferencing company's help or pricing page is no longer treated as an online meeting, so a later call cannot take its name.
One gap we know about: if a card for a scheduled meeting is already on screen in that window, an unscheduled call in the same window gets no Mac offer at all.
0.1.1.98Mac 0.1.98
Today's meetings at the top of the list, one tap from recording
«Coming up» now sits above the meetings list on the phone, in the browser and on the Mac: today's meetings that have not ended yet, from every calendar you have connected, merged into one section with the time each one starts and who is invited. One tap begins recording that meeting under its own title, with the people invited already lined up as the voices to expect.
A day with nothing left in it looks exactly as it did before — the section is simply not there, rather than telling you it has nothing to tell you. If you have no calendar connected at all, that slot holds a single «Connect a calendar» row instead.
A calendar that does not answer never gets in the way: the section stays out rather than showing a spinner, and the list below it is never held up. An account that has stopped being readable on this device says «Reconnect» right there, and one working calendar no longer hides a broken one — your day is still drawn in full, with the repair row underneath the meetings rather than in place of them.
A meeting you declined is now gone everywhere: no card offering to record it, no place in «Coming up», no alarm. Answering «maybe» still counts as a yes.
A block with nobody in it but you — lunch, focus time — still appears in the list, in case you want to dictate something into it, but it no longer nudges you with a card to record it.
0.1.1.97Mac 0.1.97
Every calendar you have, and a list that fills the screen
On the phone the meetings list now reaches the bottom of the screen, with the row of places resting on the very edge instead of floating above a blank band — at rest, with the keyboard up, after turning the phone and back, and after leaving Chui and returning. You no longer have to rotate the device to nudge the list and the Record pill back into place.
Meetings from every calendar on the account now appear, not only the main one — a work, family or holiday calendar beside it used to be silently left out, and tomorrow's occurrence of a repeating stand-up was missed as well.
If a calendar cannot be read, Profile marks that account «Reconnect» instead of looking finished, and one broken account no longer empties out the rest of your day.
0.1.1.96Mac 0.1.96
When your headset is not picking you up, on the phone and the watch
On the phone, if nothing is reaching the microphone while you record, a line appears within about half a minute saying Chui cannot hear it and names the input you are actually on — "AirPods Pro", "iPhone Microphone" — instead of the recording running on in silence with no sign of trouble.
While that notice is on screen the level dots now sit still, rather than bouncing as though sound were arriving; they come back to life the moment real sound does, and the notice clears on its own. Switch to a working microphone mid-meeting and it goes away; go quiet again later and it returns.
The Apple Watch says the same thing on your wrist, with the name of the input underneath, so a headset that is connected but not picking you up is visible without reaching for the phone.
A recording left running with the phone locked and pocketed no longer comes back claiming a long silence it was never awake to hear, and an unreadable reading from the meter is no longer treated as silence. Only one such warning appears at a time.
0.1.1.95Mac 0.1.95
When the Mac cannot hear you, and quiet meetings in your language
Chui on the Mac now asks macOS for permission to use your microphone when you first open it, rather than never asking at all — so a meeting no longer records with your own side silent.
If the microphone is blocked or hears nothing, a line appears within about half a minute naming the device and where to unblock it, and it disappears on its own once sound returns while the recording carries on.
The warning about the meeting's own sound now only appears when there is genuinely nothing playing through the machine; recording with nothing else running no longer produces a false alarm, and a muted microphone is named on its own.
«Stop» from the tray on the Mac stops the recording straight away instead of pausing for a moment first.
When a recording is silent or too quiet to tell what was said, the title and summary now come back in the language Chui is set to, instead of always in Bulgarian.
0.1.1.94Mac 0.1.94
Choosing your microphone and speaker on the Mac
Settings on the Mac has a new «Sound» section where you can pick the exact microphone Chui records from and the exact output device the meeting is heard through, instead of always following the system default.
If a device you chose is unplugged, the row still names it and marks it «not available», and pressing Record starts the recording anyway — the record screen tells you which device Chui is using instead, so a stale preference can no longer cost you a meeting.
The device lists in Settings update on their own when you plug in a headset or connect AirPods, rather than staying stale until you close and reopen the panel.
Recording starts normally when your output is a stacked or combined device, where before it could refuse.
Moving through Chui with the keyboard on the Mac now always shows which control you are on, and rows in People and Meetings light up and show a pointer cursor when you hover them.
0.1.1.93Mac 0.1.93
Mac recording with AirPods, and offers that stay with one meeting
Pressing Record on the Mac while using AirPods, or any headset that is both your speaker and your microphone, now starts the recording and captures both your own voice and the other side. Until now the recording could refuse to start at all, so nothing was kept.
Pressing Record when no meeting is running records your microphone and the sound from the machine, and a call you join afterwards is still heard in the recording.
Accepting an offer to record a meeting Chui has spotted now applies to that one meeting only. A later, unrelated recording is no longer quietly narrowed to the app you picked before.
Clicking an offer that is still on screen while you are already recording leaves the running recording alone, and the next recording you start is not tied to that app either.
On the phone, putting Chui to sleep or switching away while the calendar is syncing mid-recording no longer leaves anything looking broken — the meeting and its notes are still there when you come back.
0.1.1.92Mac 0.1.92
Settings on the Mac, update checks that answer, and a quit that waits for your recording
Chui on the Mac now has a settings panel: press ⌘, from anywhere in the app and it opens inside the Chui window, bringing the window back first if you had closed it to the tray.
In settings you can switch off the offer to record when a call starts. With it off no banner and no notification appears, and any offer already on screen goes away by itself instead of sitting there waiting to be dismissed.
"Open Chui at login" now tells the truth: if macOS wants you to approve it, the switch stays off and takes you to the Login Items pane rather than claiming it is already on.
⌘Q and "Quit" no longer quit Chui while a meeting is recording — the recording is shown to you instead.
"Check for Updates……" from the menu bar or the tray always gives you a visible answer — either an offer or a line saying it is checking. It used to be able to show an empty strip, or nothing at all, especially just after launch or with the window closed.
Accepting an update while a meeting is recording now tells you the update will wait; the recording carries on untouched and the update finishes on its own once you press Stop.
Clicking a "new version" notification while Chui is closed now launches the app and acts on the click, rather than just bringing an empty window forward.
0.1.1.91Mac 0.1.91
Chui now notices 8x8 Work meetings on the Mac
Joining a meeting in 8x8 Work on the Mac now brings up the offer to record it. Until now that one app was never recognised, so no offer ever appeared for it.
A meeting that goes quiet for a while no longer causes a second offer to pop up for the same call — the first offer simply stays where it is.
Two meetings one after the other are offered once each, rather than one of them being offered twice.
If your Mac notification settings have Chui's alert style set to "None", you will not see the banner, but the offer still appears as a bar inside Chui.
0.1.1.90Mac 0.1.90
A phone call mid-recording no longer shortens the meeting
Taking a call while recording now picks the recording back up when you hang up, and the finished meeting's length and transcript cover the whole meeting. Until now the part after the call could be missing, so a long meeting came back far shorter than it really was.
Several calls in one meeting — one answered, one declined, one left to ring — are each handled on their own, and the recording still runs to the end.
A second call arriving seconds after the first ends no longer produces a stray prompt to open Chui when the recording had in fact carried on fine.
After a call that ran for a minute or two, Chui tells you promptly that it is recording again instead of leaving you with nothing on screen.
Interruptions that are not calls — Siri, an alarm — behave as they always have, resuming quietly.
0.1.1.89Mac 0.1.89
Offers to record survive a dropped connection and an account switch
If Chui cannot read your calendar — the connection dropped, or your provider was slow — it now tries again by itself about a minute later, and keeps trying. A meeting created or moved while it was blind still gets its offer to record, without you opening the app. Until now nothing retried, and Chui quietly stopped noticing meetings until somebody picked up the phone.
After that account switch, the new account's diary is read straight away rather than waiting out the previous account's cycle, so its next meeting is offered on time.
0.1.1.88Mac 0.1.88
The pre-meeting offer now actually arrives on the iPhone
The card offering to record an upcoming meeting now appears on the phone about five minutes before the start, even with Chui fully closed. Until now it had never once shown up there, however the calendar and notification settings were set.
Tapping the card takes you straight into recording that meeting; the other tap opens the meeting without starting anything.
If you start recording by hand before the card arrives, the offer for that meeting quietly drops instead of arriving later.
One meeting is still offered once only — never a card on the phone and another on the Mac, and back-to-back meetings each get their own single card.
0.1.1.87Mac 0.1.87
An offer to record arrives five minutes before your meeting
If a connected calendar has a meeting coming up, Chui now sends a card about five minutes before it starts, even when the app is closed. Tapping the card takes you straight into recording that meeting; the second kind of tap opens the meeting without starting anything.
The same meeting is only ever offered once — one card per call, not one on the phone and another on the Mac, and back-to-back meetings at 10:00 and 10:30 each get their own single card.
A recording made from a meeting with an invite behind it is now named after the invite instead of «Record 24.08 14:32», and the guests from that invite are offered to you as names when you correct who spoke.
A name you type yourself now stays. It used to be possible for the invite's title to quietly replace your own wording some time later.
If notifications are switched off in Settings, Chui no longer goes silent about a meeting starting: the offer appears inside the app when you open it.
0.1.1.86Mac 0.1.86
Connect an Outlook calendar from the iPhone and the Mac
Profile on the iPhone can now connect an Outlook calendar. Sign-in opens in a secure browser sheet and hands you back to Chui with the account connected; before this, a calendar could only be connected in the browser.
On the Mac, connecting Outlook opens sign-in in your usual browser and Chui picks up the result on its own, without you having to return to the window and finish anything by hand.
If you have already connected Outlook somewhere else, Profile offers a «Reconnect Outlook» row with your address filled in, so reconnecting takes one tap and no account picker. The row disappears once the calendar is connected again.
A refusal or a message from your workplace administrator now waits for you in Profile if you moved to Meetings while the browser was still asking. It used to be lost, leaving you with no explanation.
Closing the sign-in browser without finishing simply returns Profile to offering the connection, rather than leaving it stuck part-way.
Google calendars are still available in the browser only and are not offered on the iPhone or the Mac. Recording, the Bulgarian transcript and the summary are unchanged in this build.
0.1.1.85Mac 0.1.85
Google and Outlook meetings in one list, in the right order
Profile in the browser now shows today's meetings from Google and Outlook as a single list in true chronological order. The two accounts used to be listed one after the other, so a later meeting could appear above an earlier one.
A meeting could quietly go missing from the list; it now appears with the rest.
A recurring meeting such as a weekly stand-up now shows the date of the next instance, rather than the date the series first began.
Meeting times are correct across a clock change and for meetings created in another time zone. Some meetings used to be shown an hour early or late.
All-day entries, birthdays, public holidays and «Out of office» blocks stay out of the list, so Chui does not offer to record them.
A connected Outlook calendar no longer asks you to «Reconnect» after a brief hiccup — only when the connection has genuinely ended. Recording, the Bulgarian transcript and the summary are unchanged in this build.
0.1.1.84Mac 0.1.84
Connect an Outlook calendar in Profile, and sign-out now clears it
Profile in the browser has a new «CALENDAR» section. You can connect an Outlook account, see it listed by its address, and remove it again with «Remove».
«Connect another account» now lets you pick a different account, instead of offering the one you had just connected.
When a calendar connection is refused, Chui now tells you which of the three reasons it was. If your workplace has not allowed Chui access, you get a link pointing at your own company and a ready-made message to forward, rather than a dead end. If you close the consent screen yourself, Chui simply invites you to try again.
On the iPhone, Profile offers Outlook only. Google is not shown there, because it does not work on the phone yet.
Recording, the Bulgarian transcript and the summary are unchanged in this build.
0.1.1.83Mac 0.1.83
A Privacy section in Profile, and a way back to notifications
Profile now has a «Privacy» section with a «Improving Chui» switch. Your choice is saved, and the row keeps showing what you actually chose after you leave the screen and come back.
In that same section, «Notifications» opens Chui's own notifications page in the iPhone's Settings rather than doing nothing or dropping you at the top of the list. If you had ever dismissed Chui's notification prompt, the row used to offer a button that could not work; it now tells you where the switch is, and updates itself when you come back with notifications on.
On the Mac, Chui brings itself to the front as soon as sign-in finishes in the browser, instead of leaving you to find the window yourself.
In a narrow Chui window on the desktop, the «looks like it is in a call» strip no longer sits on top of the search button.
0.1.1.82Mac 0.1.82
Nothing visible in this build
This build changes only how Chui is packaged and released, so there is nothing you can see or do differently — recording, transcripts and summaries all behave exactly as they did in the last build.
0.1.1.81
The Mac records a real meeting, with your voice on one side and the room on the other
A meeting recorded on a Mac now comes back with both halves in it — your own voice on the left, everything the machine played on the right. This is the first release in which Chui itself, rather than a test harness standing next to it, has recorded a Mac meeting from start to finish.
If the machine has no usable microphone, Chui refuses instead of reporting that it is recording your voice into an empty channel.
Recording on a phone is unchanged: starting, «Stop», the Bulgarian transcript and the summary all behave exactly as before.
0.1.1.80
The Mac offers to record a Zoom or Google Meet call as it starts
On a Mac, Chui now notices when a Zoom or Google Meet call begins — even with the app closed to the menu bar — and offers a banner that starts recording that meeting in one click.
Choosing «Dismiss» on the offer now clears it from Notification Centre too, so there is nothing stale left to click once the meeting is over.
Signing in with Google using an email you had already used with Apple now returns you to Chui's own sign-in screen with «An account with this email already exists. Sign in with Apple.» Before this you landed on a blank page of English technical text with no way forward.
Sign-in with Apple, Google and Microsoft in a browser now reaches the provider's own screen every time. One of these doors could fail with an error before it ever opened.
chui.io/download is now in English for anyone who lands on it, with a Bulgarian version beside it, and the Mac app quietly picks up a newer build the next time you open it — never while you are recording.
0.1.1.79
Speaker names you set while a meeting is still processing now stick
Naming a speaker while a meeting is still being written up now holds. The name stays in the chips, in the transcript labels and in Meetings, instead of flipping back to «Speaker 2» a few seconds later.
Naming two voices quickly, one straight after the other, keeps both. The second name no longer wiped out the first.
A title you type on a meeting that is still processing is the one you keep. When the automatic summary title arrived it could overwrite what you had typed, or leave the field blank.
Renaming a speaker from the audio player on a finished meeting now repaints the labels in the transcript above at once, without leaving the meeting and coming back.
If a rename cannot be saved because you are offline, only that one name goes back to what it was. Every other name you had set stays as you set it.
0.1.1.78
A recording keeps going when you leave the record screen
You can now start a meeting and go anywhere else in the app — open Meetings, read a past meeting, take a look at People — and the recording carries on. An amber bar at the bottom keeps counting and takes you straight back; before this, the only way off the record screen was «Discard», which throws the meeting away.
Notes you type on the record screen, and their timestamps, are exactly as you left them when you come back.
On a long meeting the timer on the record screen and on the Lock Screen card stays honest. It had sometimes jumped to an impossible figure — hours into a meeting that had been running twenty minutes.
Ending a meeting from the Lock Screen while you are reading something else no longer pulls you out of what you were looking at.
On a phone the Stop dock no longer sits on top of the row of tabs at the bottom, and the way back to a running meeting is reachable from every screen.
Signing in with a Microsoft account works again — the button was missing from the consent page.
0.1.1.77
Meetings can be renamed
A finished meeting can now be called whatever you want. Open it, tap its title, type over it, then press Enter or tap away — a pencil sits beside the title so it is easy to find. The name you type is what Meetings shows from then on, and it stays yours even after the summary is written. It works on the phone and in a browser.
Nothing else changes in this build. Renaming quietly arrived with the previous one and was not written down here at the time, so if you already have that build you already have it.
0.1.1.76
A long meeting now comes back with its transcript and summary
A meeting of around an hour now finishes and comes back with a full transcript and summary. Long recordings had been giving up partway and never becoming ready, however long you waited.
Short meetings are unchanged and are still ready well under a minute after you press Stop.
0.1.1.75
The wait after Stop is much shorter on a long meeting
The phone now sends a meeting up to Chui while it is still running, instead of waiting for you to press Stop. On a long meeting most of the audio has already arrived by the time you stop, so «Your meeting is ready!» comes far sooner than you are used to.
A weak or lost network after the meeting can no longer strand a big recording, for the same reason: most of it left the phone while you were still talking.
0.1.1.74
Notes typed during a meeting now survive a force-quit and a lost signal
Notes you type while a meeting is running are now written to the phone the moment you type them, so force-quitting Chui from the app switcher before pressing Stop leaves both the recording and every word intact. Previously the words only existed in the app and could be lost.
Notes typed with no signal — airplane mode, a basement — now reach the meeting on their own once the network comes back, with the phone sitting untouched on the table. They no longer wait for you to reopen the app.
When several offline meetings with notes are waiting at once, the oldest one's notes now arrive too. They had been quietly dropped while the newer ones went up.
On a phone with almost no free space, the recording itself now always appears in Meetings after you press Stop. If anything has to give way it is the typed notes, not the audio.
0.1.1.73
When a meeting fails, Chui now explains it in plain Bulgarian
If a meeting fails to process, the box on the Summary tab now says what went wrong in plain Bulgarian, instead of showing the raw English wording that came back from the service doing the work.
When only the write-up fails, the message now tells you the transcript is already there and points you to the Transcript tab, one row above. In English, German, Spanish and French the sentence names that tab exactly as it is labelled on screen in that language.
Failures caused by the recording itself — audio cut off mid-write, a meeting with no sound, a file Chui cannot read — no longer offer a «Retry» button that could never work, and tell you what to do instead. Failures on our side keep the button.
A general processing error now asks you to try again later, rather than assuring you the recording was fine and leaving you pressing the button over and over.
0.1.1.72
Correcting a speaker's name no longer costs Chui the voice
Fixes and small improvements throughout the app.
0.1.1.71
Browser recordings upload as they run, and survive a closed tab
A meeting recorded on chui.io is now sent up while it is still running, so pressing Stop finishes in a few seconds instead of leaving you waiting for a long recording to go up all at once.
If the tab closes mid-recording — a crash, or you close it without pressing Stop — the meeting comes back under its own name when you reopen chui.io and finishes uploading. Before, everything recorded up to that point could be lost.
A recording left on Pause in one tab is now left alone when you open Chui in a second tab. The second tab no longer takes the paused meeting over or clears it.
A meeting whose upload completes just as the signal drops — a lift, or airplane mode flicking on — is now transcribed once and written up once, instead of being sent again or wrongly reported as having no audio.
An older recording still waiting in the queue on your phone now either uploads or keeps waiting after a force-quit and relaunch, rather than claiming the audio is gone from the device when it is still there.
0.1.1.70
Queued recordings keep their place, and Split puts people back
A recording still waiting to upload from your phone now stays waiting, however long it takes — after a force-quit, or a night with no network, or while you open Chui on the web or the Mac in the meantime. Before, such a meeting could be written off as «This meeting was not recorded» while the audio was still sitting on the phone, and the write-up never arrived.
An old meeting stuck on «Queued» with a spinner — including one from a few days ago — now plainly says «This meeting was not recorded» and offers only delete, instead of a retry that could never work.
Pressing «Split» on a person you had merged brings them back with their own name and every one of their meetings.
If somebody else was folded in while you were looking at the older merge, «Split» now says «somebody else was folded in in the meantime — try again» rather than leaving a nameless or unopenable person behind; pressing it again undoes the newest fold.
After splitting people apart, no meeting is left attached to a person you cannot open, and everyone in People keeps a name and the right number of meetings.
0.1.1.69
Meeting names you type stay put, and Back goes back
Renaming a finished meeting now sticks everywhere: the new Bulgarian title shows on Meetings, on the meeting itself and on the person's page, and it survives the summary finishing. Before, a name you had just typed could be replaced by the one the summariser wrote.
Renaming a meeting twice in quick succession, or renaming one while it is still being processed, now keeps the last name you typed. It used to be possible for an older name to come back a moment later.
The rename field for a meeting that has not been named yet opens empty. It used to be pre-filled with the date, so tapping away could save «yesterday at 14:20» as the title.
A very long title now wraps onto several lines instead of running off the right edge past the pencil.
Opening one of a person's meetings and pressing Back returns you to that person, not to the full Meetings list. The same holds when the person has since been folded into someone else — you land in People rather than nowhere.
A recording made on the Apple Watch that turns out to be unplayable now appears as a failed meeting on the phone. Before, it could vanish from the watch and the phone both, and the only copy was gone.
0.1.1.68
Interrupted recordings come back whole, and Split undoes a merge
A recording that was interrupted hard — a call, a force-quit, a flat battery — now comes back at its full length. Before, such a meeting could arrive holding only its first few seconds, and the rest of the audio never appeared.
Pressing «Stop» on a broken-up recording now returns you to the meeting almost at once, and the whole thing is transcribed and written up a little later; the joining is no longer done on the phone.
A meeting recorded on an older build that disappeared from Meetings after a crash now comes back on its own and uploads without you doing anything.
Two people in People can be folded into one, and «Split» takes it back: notes and labels return to the person they came from, and if there was an older merge underneath, pressing it again comes apart in turn.
The sheet that asks you to confirm a merge now shows each name in the slot it belongs to, so you can see which person is being kept before you confirm.
If you rename someone after merging them, «Split» is no longer offered for that fold — it used to be, and undoing would quietly replace the name you had just typed.
0.1.1.67
Long meetings finish, and the retry button only promises what it can
A long recording — an hour or more — now transcribes and gets its write-up. Before, a meeting that size could upload and then fail, leaving you with the audio and nothing written.
Opening an older meeting that failed and tapping retry now either goes through or explains in Bulgarian why it cannot. You no longer see a raw English error sentence in the box.
The retry button stays greyed out until the meeting has finished refreshing, so a second impatient tap is impossible.
If the audio for a meeting is no longer on our side, the retry button now goes away for good rather than coming back to be pressed again with no hope of working.
A meeting that got its transcript but failed at the write-up keeps its player and its transcript while you retry — they used to vanish from the screen.
0.1.1.66
A killed recording finds its meeting, and stopping needs no signal
If Chui was killed or crashed part-way through a recording, the recovered audio now lands on the same meeting as the notes you typed during it. Before, it could arrive as a second, separate meeting on Meetings, leaving your notes on one and the sound on the other.
Tapping «Stop» with no signal, or a bad one, now moves you straight to the meeting. The screen used to sit on «Stopping…» with only «Discard» still tappable, and waiting it out was the only way past; nothing on the recording screen waits for a network any more. Once you have signal again, both the audio and every line of your notes are there.
If Chui could not create the meeting when you started recording — usually a poor connection — the recording is no longer lost. It is kept and appears once the connection returns.
0.1.1.65
An interrupted recording now comes back the right size, and is written up to the end
If a recording is cut short — the app is killed, a call arrives, the battery dies — Chui joins the pieces back into one meeting. That joined file was being saved about three and a half times larger than it should have been, and a long one could end up too big to transcribe: you were left with the audio, but the write-up stopped part-way or never arrived. Joined meetings are now the size they were always meant to be, so they send faster and are written up all the way to the end. Ordinary recordings, which are never joined, were never affected.
Signing in with Google or Microsoft has begun to appear on the sign-in screen. It is not finished yet — Sign in with Apple is still the way in.
0.1.1.64
Your meeting is written up in the language it was held in
The transcript and the summary now follow the language people actually spoke, not the language the app is set to. A Bulgarian meeting comes back in Bulgarian and an English one in English, even if you have Chui set to the other. A meeting is a record of what was said, so Chui does not translate it.
If an older meeting was written up in the wrong language, open it and tap «Write the summary again» — the new summary comes back in the language of the meeting.
Buttons, screens and notifications still follow the app language you chose in Profile. Only the meeting itself follows the room.
0.1.1.63
Fixes and improvements
If your company blocks Chui from connecting an Outlook work calendar, you now get a plain explanation of what was refused and a link you can forward to whoever administers it, instead of the attempt simply failing. Signing in itself is unaffected.
Behind the scenes, Chui can now tell the difference between two ways a recording can come out short — sound thinning out steadily throughout, or capture stopping briefly and restarting. They need opposite fixes and nothing Chui had could tell them apart, which is why a 43-minute meeting lost fifty seconds in August with every check reporting it healthy. Nothing about this is visible while you record; it is what will identify the cause.
0.1.1.62
Chui's screens follow the app language you choose, in English or Bulgarian
In Profile you can set the app's language. Choose English and the recording notice, the lock-screen card, the watch, the notification that says a meeting is ready and even the name under the icon are all in English; switch back and everything returns to Bulgarian, «Chui» included. Parts of the app used to speak Bulgarian to people who had not asked for it.
Renaming a speaker with no connection now tells you the name was not saved and keeps what you typed, with «Retry» to save it once you are back online. The name that survives is the last one you typed — before, a rename could vanish without a word.
If Chui is force-quit or replaced mid-recording, you get at most one failed meeting for it, and it does not reappear on later launches. The audio Chui rescued is kept rather than discarded.
A meeting of an hour or more uploads in parts and picks up where it left off as you move in and out of signal, instead of starting over or giving up.
Profile now offers «What's new», which opens these release notes in the browser; a recording in progress keeps running while you read.
0.1.1.61
Long meetings finish, and short ones stop reading «0 min»
When a long recording does need time, Chui keeps saying it is still working and goes on trying quietly over the next few hours, rather than sending you a failure notice early.
A recording under a minute reads in seconds — in the list of Meetings, on the meeting itself, in search results and on a person's page. A 40-second meeting used to say «0 min».
Several recordings made offline all go up once you reconnect, instead of every one of them waiting behind the oldest.
If the audio for a recording has genuinely gone missing, Chui says so plainly instead of promising forever that it «will upload when there is a connection» — and if that audio turns up again, it starts uploading on its own.
0.1.1.60
Rescued audio opens again, and the upload notice clears
If Chui is force-quit or dies mid-recording it keeps the audio. The screen that offers that audio back now opens instead of failing — including with the phone offline, which is exactly the moment it used to refuse. Recovered audio goes on to transcribe and summarise like any other meeting.
A finished meeting that has already uploaded stops saying it «will upload when there is a connection» hours after it landed.
0.1.1.59
The Lock Screen card gets its timer, level and buttons back
The timer stays readable past an hour rather than being trimmed.
0.1.1.58
Record gets its own line above the tabs
The record button sits on its own full-width row above Meetings and People, instead of reading like a third tab wedged between them.
Each tab has a picture beside its name and turns amber while you are standing on it.
No label in the bottom bar wraps or gets cut off in any of the five languages.
0.1.1.57
Stopping from the Lock Screen no longer costs you the meeting
Pressing Stop on the Lock Screen used to end the app while it was still joining the recording together: an 89-minute meeting arrived as 22 seconds. A meeting stopped that way now survives whole.
Meetings can offer you leftover audio from a recording that ended badly and turn it into an ordinary meeting you can read — no cable and no laptop.
A meeting that does come back short says so, and says why.
0.1.1.56
A tab bar, and notifications that open the right meeting
Chui has tabs: Meetings, the record button, and People — which is a place of its own now rather than a row buried in settings.
On a wide window the tabs become a side rail, with one record button and nothing covering the last row of your list.
Tapping the «meeting is ready» notification opens that exact meeting instead of dropping you on the list; tapping it while signed out lands on Sign in rather than an error.
The notification speaks the meeting's own language — Bulgarian, English, German, Spanish or French — instead of always Bulgarian.
0.1.1.55
A dossier per person, and a notification that knows when to stay quiet
People: each person has a short written account of who they are and what you have discussed, built up one meeting at a time — not a pile of quotes.
What you correct by hand — relationship, organisation, role — stays corrected, and stays empty if you clear it. The app's own guess never overwrites you.
No banner for the meeting you are already looking at; the wording is «Your meeting is ready!» when the summary lands and «Something went wrong with your meeting.» when it does not.
Claude can now change a person's details, not only read them.
0.1.1.54
The truncation warning stops hiding behind a silent notification
If a recording was cut short and you were never actually shown the notice at the time — notifications off, delivered quietly, banners switched off — the meeting now carries the red warning afterwards. With banners on you get the notice while it happens and no warning later, because you were already told.
The warning lands on the meeting it belongs to and never on the one you started next.
0.1.1.53
Nothing you can see
No change you can act on: this build carried measurement and release tooling only. It is here because every build gets an entry, including the ones with nothing in them for you.
0.1.1.52
Asking for notifications on a screen that says what they are for
Recording resumes within a second or two of a call ending, and the seconds between hanging up and resuming are captured rather than reported as a long pause.
The interruption notice says the recording is interrupted and will resume, and stops explaining iOS to you.
A browser tab keeps its session across a refresh instead of occasionally losing it.
0.1.1.51
Uploads, deletes and the Lock Screen card
You stay signed in across an update, with your meetings where you left them.
A meeting the app had to rebuild after a failed upload no longer strands the screen you left open on it.
One recording can no longer turn into two meetings.
0.1.1.50
Fixes and improvements
Updating no longer asks again for a permission you had already granted.
A recording filed for import before an update is uploaded once rather than twice, so it can no longer arrive as two copies of the same conversation.
Two recordings of the same length in one session stay two separate meetings, each with its own audio.
0.1.1.49
Coming back from a call
Take a call in the middle of a recording and Chui comes back quickly afterwards, and says so, rather than leaving you to find out later.
While the call is up the app says the recording is interrupted, instead of showing a level meter over silence.
The audio from after the call lands in the same meeting even if you never reopen the app — the phone does the recovery on its own.
0.1.1.48
Chui tells you when a meeting is ready
A notification when a recording has finished being transcribed and summarised — on the phone, and in a browser tab signed into the same account. Until this build Chui had no way of telling you anything once you had closed it.
Speaker labels: one person who had been split into two or three voices is merged back into one.
This is the first build with notes of its own. Everything above it on this page is written per build; everything below is grouped by the day it shipped.
0.1.1.42 – 0.1.1.472026-09-07 · 09:03–11:58
Told during the meeting, not after it
An interruption is announced while it is happening, instead of only turning up as a red warning on the finished meeting hours later.
0.1.1.37 – 0.1.1.412026-09-06 · 08:16–22:24
The chrome sweep — labels that fit, a scrub bar you can read
Buttons stop breaking mid-word: the row moves instead of the label snapping.
The transcript's scrub bar is drawn as an axis, so it reads as something you can drag rather than a decoration.
The list scrolls under a header that stays put, at every window width, and a wide window gets the desktop layout on purpose rather than by accident.
0.1.1.36
A recording that dies mid-meeting is rebuilt, not resuscitated
When capture dies in the middle of a meeting — a call, another app taking the microphone — Chui now starts a fresh recorder on a fresh file and joins the pieces at the end, instead of trying to revive one that is already dead.
A meeting's length comes off the audio file itself. Thirty-five minutes of one meeting had been filed as a pause nobody asked for, because the app trusted a clock instead of the recording.
0.1.1.35
The five languages, in the build
The five languages reach the phone build itself, so the app really does open in the language you set rather than falling back to Bulgarian.
The rest of this build is work you cannot see: the server, and tests standing in front of the recording path.
0.1.1.26 – 0.1.1.342026-09-06 · 06:00–21:01
Imports, an upload queue that never loses a recording, and five languages
Hand Chui an audio file from anywhere — a voice message, another recorder — and it becomes an ordinary meeting.
A recording that reached the disk is never lost to a bad network: uploads queue, retry by themselves and resume when you come back online, and nobody has to press anything. «Waiting to upload» is a stage, not a failure.
A meeting can be deleted, and the question is asked in words that name the meeting you are about to lose.
Search finds Cyrillic and Latin in the same breath — «test» finds «тест».
The app opens in your own language: Bulgarian, English, German, Spanish or French.
0.1.1.18 – 0.1.1.252026-09-05 · 11:33–20:15
The watch records on its own, and a recording can be held
The Apple Watch records a whole meeting standalone and hands the file to the phone afterwards — the point being that the phone never comes out.
A recording can be paused and resumed, and the held time is not counted as lost audio.
The record screen becomes one bar that starts and stops the meeting, and a mis-tap is Cancel rather than a meeting you did not mean to keep.
The timer stops when the recorder stops, instead of ticking on over silence.
0.1.0.15 – 0.1.1.172026-09-05 · 14:30–18:22
The same app in a browser, and Claude can read your meetings
chui.io: the same screens in a tab, signed into the same account as the phone, with the same meetings in it.
Ask Claude or ChatGPT about your meetings and they can answer: Chui speaks MCP, so an assistant can search your transcripts without you pasting anything.
Search across meetings, pull a list to refresh it, name a speaker, and notes keep the moment in the meeting at which you typed them.
0.1.0.3 – 0.1.0.142026-09-05 · 12:05–20:27
The first builds — record it, and get a summary back
Record a meeting on the phone: it uploads on its own, gets transcribed, and comes back as a summary written in Bulgarian.
Play a meeting back, and steer the audio from the transcript.
A card on the Lock Screen while a recording is running.
A meeting belongs to a person rather than to a phone — accounts, and Sign in with Apple as the way in.
