Calls waiting for your approval and sends that failed stay pinned at the top with their Send, Review and Retry buttons. Improvements: Meetings: automation activity shows the latest five with paging; calls that need you stay pinned on top. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-264 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-264 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ask the Chat window or a meeting's Ask panel to write a follow-up, a reply or a recap, and you get two or three short drafts, each a different approach. Click through them, copy one, or open it in Apple Mail, Gmail or Outlook with the subject and recipients filled in. New: Chat: ask for an email and get 2 or 3 drafts, each a different approach, to click through. New: Chat: Copy or Open in Mail (Apple Mail, Gmail or Outlook) with the subject filled in. New: Meetings: ask the meeting's Ask panel to write a follow-up and the drafts use the call's notes and attendees. New: Chat: say make B shorter or more casual and only that draft is rewritten. New: Chat: add your scheduling link in Settings and drafts that propose a call include it. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-263 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-263 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Settings → Dictation now shows voice commands as one row. Open it to see every command, grouped by to-dos, timers, chat and meetings, calendar, opening apps and sites, and dictating. New: Dictation: the list now includes remind me to, due dates, repeats, recording and calendar questions. Improvements: Dictation: Voice commands fold into one row in Settings, open it to see every command in groups. Fixes: To-dos: a new install no longer shows a duplicate This Week (2) list. Dictation https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-262 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-262 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Choose Sink to bottom in Settings → To-Do List → Completed and done items stay in their section, below the open ones. On iPhone: tap the mic, talk, tap again and it's added, plus cleaner Settings pages. New: To-dos: checked-off items can sink to the bottom of their own section. New: To-dos: uncheck one and it goes right back where it was. New: iPhone: Review before sending in Settings → Dictation if you want to check first. Improvements: iPhone: tap the mic and talk right away, your first words are no longer lost. Improvements: iPhone: tap the mic again and your to-do is added, no extra Send tap. Fixes: iPhone: Settings pages fit every iPhone, no more giant or squeezed cards. To-dos iPhone https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-261 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-261 Wed, 14 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The floating pills (dictation, timers, meeting countdown and recording) can now sit in the top-right corner under the menu bar instead of bottom center. They stay stacked neatly, and bottom center is still the default. New: Pills: choose bottom center or top right in Settings → Appearance. New: Dictation: say Open Slack or Open Work Chrome to jump straight there. Dictation https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-260 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-260 Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The main window's toolbar now has one button you choose: My Meetings, Calendar, Notes, Recap or Board. It opens My Meetings by default, and every window is still in the calendar menu next to it, with Board at the bottom. New: To-dos: say a date like "October 29th" and the to-do is due that day, moving into Today as it nears. New: To-dos: chat cards show the due date as a chip you can click to change. New: Toolbar: choose which window gets its own button in Settings → Appearance. Improvements: Meetings: one click opens My Meetings from the to-do list. Improvements: Meetings: automation status is now one slim line with Retry now and a ✕ to hide it. Improvements: Board: moved into the calendar menu, at the bottom.

Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-257 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-257 Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Dictation pastes your words sooner, spaces repeat dictations correctly, and a banner now tells you exactly why dictation can't work, with a one-click fix. The calendar opens on your calls, Monday to Friday. AI Access walks you through connecting ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and more in a few short steps, and Notes opens ready to type. New: Dictation: a banner tells you why dictation can’t work, with a one-click Fix. Improvements: Dictation: pastes your words about half a second sooner. Improvements: Dictation: adds the space between back-to-back dictations. Improvements: Dictation: spoken punctuation, like colon, becomes the symbol. Improvements: Calendar: opens on your calls, Monday to Friday. Improvements: AI Access: connect ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and more in a few short steps. Improvements: Notes: opens ready to type, and the list slides in from the side. Fixes: Dictation: your clipboard comes back as it was after quick dictations. Fixes: To-dos: the buttons on a to-do’s details no longer vanish on hover. Dictation Meetings To-dos Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-254 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-254 Mon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A calendar window with notes before each call. Ask questions across all your meetings. Repeating to-dos. A Notes window. Connect AI tools to your list over MCP or the CLI. The app now updates itself, and you can delete your account in the app. New: Calendar: a calendar window, with notes for each call ready when it starts. New: Meetings: ask questions across all your meetings with ⇧⌘J. New: To-dos: repeating to-dos: just say every Monday. New: Notes: one Notes window, with voice and automatic titles. New: AI Access: connect ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools to your list. New: Updates: the app now updates itself, quietly in the background.

Improvements: Video: shared videos play right in the app, with playback speed. Improvements: To-dos: a cleaner details panel, with cards you can rearrange. Improvements: Account: delete your account right in the app. Fixes: Video: long recordings no longer cut off partway through. Fixes: Sync: a to-do edited on two devices at once no longer goes missing. Meetings To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-229 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-229 Sun, 04 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Sign-in emails now carry the SwitchDesk logo and one clear button, which opens a sign-in page on switchdesk.org that email link scanners can’t use up before you click. The app’s Privacy and Terms links point to switchdesk.org too. Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-228 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-228 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The menu bar tile, the picker (“Create a Video”) and Settings now say “Create Video”. Next to “Record Meeting”, “Record Video” read like recording the video call. Video https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-227 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-227 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT When a video stops, a card shows its upload with the link already copied, plus “Open in Browser” and “My Videos”. The menu bar now opens with two big record tiles, one for a meeting and one for a video, and in Window mode your camera bubble is recorded too (for a window on the current desktop). Video Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-226 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-226 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Shared videos now live on new storage built for streaming, so a long recording is no longer held back by the old 50 MB upload limit. Links you already sent keep working. Video https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-225 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-225 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A shared video’s link opens a SwitchDesk page with the title, the player and a transcript you can jump around in and copy, and it unfurls in chat apps with the video’s own title and thumbnail. Links copied before this keep working. Video https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-224 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-224 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT When you record a window, the picker now shows windows on every desktop and behind full-screen apps, not just the current one, with “other desktop” under the ones that live elsewhere. Video https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-223 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-223 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A video’s link is reserved when you start recording and copied when you stop, while the upload runs behind it and picks up again after a quit or a dropped connection. Each video gets a transcript on its share page (you can hide it per video) and, unless you typed a title, a short one made from what you said. Video https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-222 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-222 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Screen mode shows a live preview of each display, and Window mode is now a grid of thumbnails. Click to select, double-click to start. Video https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-221 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-221 Sat, 03 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT In Settings → Developer → Meeting exports, point a category at a webhook, and its calls are sent there when they end, signed by our server so the receiver can trust them. Only calls recorded after you set it up are sent, and by default you review each one first. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-219 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-219 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT In the notepad and My Notes, Tab turns a numbered item into a bullet under the one above and Shift-Tab turns it back. Numbers are automatic, so a stray keystroke can’t turn “1.” into “11.”, and pasted lists renumber themselves. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-218 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-218 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT A to-do in “Today’s Todo” or “This Week’s Todo” without a category now shows a small “+ Category” chip. Pick one and the to-do stays where it is, now with its category tag. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-217 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-217 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The Mac app is named SwitchDesk in Finder, Launchpad and the Dock, and the logo in the window header is a sharp vector at every size. Your settings, permissions and data carry over as they were. https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-216 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-216 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT The to-do window’s header shows the SwitchDesk logo by default. In Settings → Appearance → Header logo you can type your company’s name in one of 13 fonts, previewed on light and dark headers, or use an image. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-215 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-215 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT Two cream bars on black, drawn on Apple’s icon grid. https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-214 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-214 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Ask “What have we promised Lumora so far?” in the new “Ask me about any past meetings” bar, and it answers across all your calls. It shows which calls it read and links each point to its moment; click one to open the transcript at that line. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-213 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-213 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Rename a category on another device and this Mac’s meetings follow it. Notes now save in one step, so a crash can’t leave half a file. Meetings Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-212 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-212 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT When the Google Meet window goes behind another tab or desktop, the lines said meanwhile now get their names once it’s back. In the live captions, each person keeps one color for the whole call. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-210 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-210 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT The notepad (notes, Ask and live captions) no longer floats above every app: click your call and it goes behind like any other window. It still comes to the front when a recording starts. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-209 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-209 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Type “Lum” and Lumora’s calls come first, not every call that mentions the word. A short word you’re still typing lists the best matches first. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-208 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-208 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A meeting opens on its Call Summary, with Transcript and My Notes a click or ⌘1–3 away. Ask moves to a pane on the right (⌘J), each meeting keeps its own chat, and timestamps in an answer jump to that moment. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-207 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-207 Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Meetings search now looks through titles, people, companies, summaries, your notes and transcripts, shows at most five best matches, and turns a person, company or date into a filter chip. In the to-do chat you can keep typing after Return: the next message waits its turn instead of creating a duplicate. Meetings To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-206 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-206 Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT In chat, your new message moves to the top and the reply streams in below it, instead of the view rolling down to a blank area. Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-205 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-205 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Opening “My Meetings” right after a call could freeze the app. Fixed, and the Meetings library loads with less work. Meetings Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-204 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-204 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT While you’re muted in Google Meet, other voices your mic picks up no longer show up as yours, and a freeze in the live captions is fixed. Meetings Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-203 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-203 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT On speakers, your mic also hears the other side; those words no longer show up as yours. On Google Meet, lines are now named from Meet’s own captions, your own included. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-202 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-202 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Pressing Record after “Open Meeting” no longer waits 15 seconds on “Starting…”, for example with the lid closed and a USB mic. Meetings Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-201 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-201 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT “Assign Due Date…” now opens a full-size month grid where one click on a day sets the date, with “Today”, “Tomorrow” and “Next Mon” shortcuts and “Remove due date”. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-200 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-200 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT The right-click “Assign Due Date…” item no longer shows a stray code in place of its “…”. To-dos Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-199 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-199 Thu, 24 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Right-click a to-do and choose “Assign Due Date…” to open the calendar next to the row. Once a date is set, the same item lets you change it. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-198 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-198 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Hovering a toolbar button could crash the app, and some tooltips were cut off with “…”. Both fixed. Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-197 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-197 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A dated to-do joins “This Week’s Todo” in its week, sits under its day, and reaches “Today’s Todo” when it’s due. A date only ever moves a to-do earlier. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-196 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-196 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Tools that send you to-dos can hear back: switch it on for a key in Settings → Developer and they get a signed webhook when you finish, reopen or delete their to-dos. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-195 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-195 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Incoming rows show the to-do on one line and its actions (Today, Week, Backlog, a category) on the next. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-194 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-194 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Speaker names: a line is named only when that person’s own captions match it, and stays unnamed when someone else could have said it. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-193 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-193 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT On Google Meet, the live captions drawer now names each person as they talk, using Google Meet’s own captions. Start recording before you join and SwitchDesk keeps looking for the call. On other call apps, lines read “You” and “Them”. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-192 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-192 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Settings → Developer is now three steps: make a key, choose its options, copy its documentation. “Sync now” moved to Account. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-191 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-191 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT A tool that sent you a to-do with your key can now mark it in progress or done. In dictation, version numbers come out typed with their dots and dashes: say “two point four point one” and you get 2.4.1. To-dos Dictation https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-190 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-190 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Make a key in Settings → Developer → Incoming to-dos, and a support form or your own script can add to-dos to your list. They arrive in Incoming, and links in to-dos are now clickable. To-dos https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-189 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-189 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Security: AI and live-transcription requests now carry your sign-in, and each kind of request has its own rate limit. Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-188 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-188 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT In the captions drawer, A− and A+ change the text size, and Settings → Meetings has a “Caption text size” slider. In every chat, your own messages now show in orange, so a conversation reads as question and answer. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-187 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-187 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Speaker names: when someone replies with the same words just after you, your longer line stays yours. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-186 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-186 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT On Google Meet, SwitchDesk turns on Meet’s captions, reads the name beside each one and matches the words to your transcript. On other call apps, lines read “Me” and “Them”. Meetings https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-177 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-177 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT The live captions drawer could freeze the app during a call. Fixed. Meetings Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-176 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-176 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT On a long call, Ask no longer answers “not said on the call” about something that’s right there in the captions. Meetings Fixes https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-175 https://switchdesk.org/changelog#build-175 Thu, 10 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT With the Meetings window open on a past call, recording a new call could freeze the app. Fixed. Meetings Fixes
