Changelog

Pandecho ships updates roughly weekly. These are the same notes shown in the in-app update dialog; releases with no user-facing changes are not listed.

Version 0.1.62

2026-10-22

• Meetings in your browser are no longer split into two short notes when the microphone drops for a moment (for example when you mute or switch devices)
• If the same meeting picks up again within a few minutes, Pandecho continues the same note

Version 0.1.61

2026-10-19

• Fixed text in the new screens showing as short codes instead of words when Pandecho is set to a language other than English
• The new home screen, note view, Help menu and setup are now fully translated into German
• A one-tap question about how you found Pandecho, so we know where to spend our time (skipped when usage data is off)
• Google and Outlook calendars now show your next meetings on the home screen
• Times follow your app language (for example 13:30 in German)

Version 0.1.60

2026-10-18

• A new home screen: start recording in one click, see your next meetings, and jump back into recent notes
• Notes now show the transcript and chat side by side with your summary, with quick links to each section
• A clear recording bar with a timer and a Stop button while a meeting is being recorded
• A simpler six-step setup for new users

• The window opens larger if it was still at the old small size

Version 0.1.59

2026-10-18

• Bigger, easier-to-read text across the app, with a new Text size setting in Settings > App (or press ⌘+ and ⌘−)
• The window opens larger, and the sidebar is wider and can be resized by dragging its edge
• Long meeting titles in the sidebar now show on two lines instead of being cut off
• Summaries are easier to read, with a comfortable line length and more space between lines
• Turning off Share usage data in Settings now also stops crash and error reports
• Fixed Pandecho not opening after updating to 0.1.57 or 0.1.58

Version 0.1.56

2026-09-26

• Signing in with ChatGPT now uses OpenAI's latest models: GPT-6 Sol (default), GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6 Luna. The older GPT-5 models are being retired by OpenAI, and anyone still set to one moves to GPT-6 Sol automatically
• Follow-up questions in chat with ChatGPT no longer fail after the first message

Version 0.1.55

2026-09-25

• Regenerating a summary now gives a completely fresh summary, without bringing back checkboxes from the previous one
• Pandecho no longer starts recording when a dictation app like PandaScribe uses the microphone

Version 0.1.54

2026-09-24

• Checkboxes in summaries no longer repeat when you reopen a note or restart Pandecho
• Summaries that already have repeated checkboxes are cleaned up the next time you open them, keeping each item once and keeping it ticked if you ticked any copy

Version 0.1.53

2026-09-23

• Long transcripts open instantly and scroll smoothly, even for meetings over an hour and a half
• Opening a long meeting does less repeated work, so switching between its Summary, Memos and Transcript tabs is quicker

Version 0.1.52

2026-09-23

• Summaries no longer repeat the same bullets or checkboxes over and over. If the local model starts to repeat itself, Pandecho catches it and has it write something new instead
• New Transcript tab next to your summary and Memos, showing the meeting's full transcript with copy and the other transcript tools

Version 0.1.51

2026-09-22

• Summaries of long meetings now cover the whole meeting and follow every section of your template. Before, anything said in the last part of a long meeting, and the template itself, could be left out
• Each item now appears in one section only, instead of being repeated in several
• The Real Estate template now keeps exact figures, such as meter readings and how many keys were handed over, and writes out dictated web addresses
• When two calendar events start at the same time, Pandecho records the meeting with people in it, and no longer starts recording for personal calendar blocks with no attendees
• Deleting a note while it is recording now stops the recording instead of leaving it running

Version 0.1.50

2026-09-22

• Exported notes now show the date in your app language, with 24-hour time where that is the norm (for example "Dienstag, 22. September 2026 um 10:06")
• The export window no longer cuts off its options in German and other languages with longer labels
• Updates now also download from pandecho.com when GitHub can't be reached from your network

Version 0.1.49

2026-09-21

• The Real Estate Client Meeting template now lists every appointment mentioned in the meeting, in date order with the next one marked, instead of only the next appointment
• Summaries now show their sections at the top, so you can jump straight to appointments, tasks or contact details
• Import an audio file straight from the home screen, or with the new button next to "New note" in the sidebar
• Section headings in summaries now appear in your summary language

Version 0.1.48

2026-09-21

• Summaries made with a template now come out in clear sections, each with its own heading in your language, instead of one long numbered list
• The Real Estate Client Meeting template now also collects contact details, such as email addresses and phone numbers mentioned in the meeting, and any links and documents
• Regenerating a summary now uses your default template, so you can re-summarise an earlier meeting with it

Version 0.1.47

2026-09-21

• The Real Estate Client Meeting template now opens with the topics discussed and ends with the agreed next steps and tasks, and the next appointment. To use it for every meeting, open Templates, choose it and click "Set as default"
• Error reports now leave out personal details, such as file paths containing your name, email addresses and IP addresses, and never include text from your meetings
• Error reports now say what actually went wrong, so problems like a transcript failing to appear can be tracked down and fixed

Version 0.1.46

2026-09-19

• New Real Estate Client Meeting template for detailed notes on properties, prices, and contract terms. You can now connect more than one Google or Outlook calendar account, and connected cloud calendars stay up to date automatically

Version 0.1.45

2026-09-18

• New: a $10/month plan for one computer, alongside lifetime licenses. Monthly licenses show their renewal date in Settings → License, with a button to manage or cancel the subscription

Version 0.1.44

2026-09-17

• Stopping a long recording on a slower computer no longer fails to produce a transcript. The recording now finishes saving before transcription starts

Version 0.1.43

2026-09-12

• Deleting a note that came from a calendar event now removes it for good, instead of it reappearing the next time the calendar refreshed

Version 0.1.42

2026-09-11

• Fixed an error on Windows that appeared when you changed a General setting while "Launch at login" was turned off

Version 0.1.41

2026-09-10

• If Pandecho starts recording because another app used your microphone, you can now stop it and stop that app ever triggering it again in one step. Right-click the floating recording bar, or use the options menu next to the record button, and pick "Stop and never record <app>"
• Fixed playback failing silently on a recording you had just finished, where the player was left pointing at the temporary audio file after it was converted

Version 0.1.40

2026-09-09

• Recordings now stop automatically after a maximum length (default 90 minutes) so a meeting you forget to stop can't record indefinitely. Adjustable, or turn it off, under Settings > Notifications

Version 0.1.39

2026-09-09

• Windows: fixes an error that could stop notes from being deleted properly

Version 0.1.38

2026-09-03

Version 0.1.35

2026-09-02

• Mac: fixes a burst of harmless transcription errors on very short speech snippets introduced in 0.1.34

Version 0.1.34

2026-08-26

• **Filter by folder** — a folder selector in the Notes header lets you jump to any folder; the menu scrolls, so it stays tidy no matter how many folders you have.
• Folder membership travels with each note's metadata, so your notes stay put on disk and moves are instant.

Version 0.1.18

2026-06-25

• Fix: ChatGPT now uses gpt-5-codex (the model the ChatGPT-subscription Codex backend accepts) — resolves "model not supported".

Version 0.1.17

2026-06-25

• Fix: ChatGPT now uses a valid model (gpt-5) — resolves the "Bad Request" when switching to the ChatGPT provider.
• Every provider now always resolves to a valid model.

Version 0.1.16

2026-06-25

• New: Sign in with ChatGPT — use your ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription for summaries and chat. Works on any machine, no model download. Set it up in onboarding or Settings → AI.

• Stability: improved crash/error reporting so issues get fixed faster.

Version 0.1.12

2026-06-19

• **Updater relaunch** — after installing an update, the app could stay on the old version with no window (the tray keep-alive was blocking the relaunch). Updates now restart cleanly.
• **Settings labels** — fixed garbled labels (e.g. "Start Pandecho at login", the "Share usage data" description) caused by a stale build cache.
