Spellar: AI Meeting Note Taker

Spellar 4.0 puts the copilot in your Mac's notch, names the people speaking in Zoom, Slack and Teams calls, and starts every new account with 300 free minutes. New & Improved: • Copilot in the notch (Mac) — the timer, live audio wave, Ask AI, notes and prep sit in a small island at the top of your screen. It stays out of the way while you talk and opens into a full panel when you need it; on a Mac without a notch it tucks into a small handle. Prefer the floating window? Switch back in Settings → General → Appearance. • Speaker names from Zoom, Slack and Teams (Mac) — with Accessibility permission, Spellar reads who is talking from the meeting app, so the transcript shows real names instead of "Speaker 1". If names can't be read, it tells you why. • "Is this Jane?" — when Spellar can't tell who a voice is, it suggests people from the meeting invite. Voices nobody has named yet read "Unknown participant 1". • Choose who gets the notes after a call — nobody, colleagues only, or everyone on the invite (Settings → Recording). • Post a note to Slack — send a summary to a Slack channel from your Mac or iPhone. Connect Slack in Settings → Connectors. • Echo cancellation on speakers — record without headphones and the other side no longer echoes into your transcript. Spellar suggests headphones once, when they'd help. • 300 free minutes — new accounts get 300 minutes of transcription and AI, no card needed. The minutes left show in the sidebar and above your notes. • A clearer iPhone paywall, with the App Store terms for each plan. Under the Hood: • Long recordings upload their full audio, and a recording keeps going when you switch or unplug a microphone. • Transcription no longer drops quiet but real speech. • Connectors tell you why an app needs reconnecting. • Faster calendar loading and a lighter Home screen.
