What's New in Lyonesse

2.0.9

October 28, 2026

Steadier on-device AI. If the local model runs into an error, you now see a message instead of the app closing. On iPhone and iPad, a summary that's running when you leave the app now pauses and picks up again when you come back. A recording that keeps going in the background is better protected against being stopped early. On Mac, the Delete key now deletes the selected notes, after asking first. Lyonesse now sends anonymous crash and exit reports, with no note content, so crashes get found and fixed faster.

User reviews

Secure and Responsive

I really like that this app doesn’t send info to the cloud. You can’t ask for a much more secure option for transcription solutions. The summaries are great. Most importantly, the developer is EXTREMELY responsive and helpful. Keep up the great work!

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words. Everything stays on your device by design, so we're glad that came through. The summaries are a good thing to hear about too, and we'll keep working on them. Write to us any time if something comes up.

Great idea. Room to improve

Incredible concept still has bugg

Response from developer
