Signals settings show only what appliesSignals takes its guidance from your playbook, so subscribers no longer see the Coaching prompt box in the Engine tab. A dropped connection no longer loses what StageWhisper found
If your connection dropped during a call, insights lost track of the ClickUp items and document passages found so far. Now they pick up with everything found earlier in the call.
October 31, 2026
Hearing your calls no longer takes Screen RecordingOn a Mac, StageWhisper and StageWhisper Lite now ask only to record your computer’s audio, not your screen. This needs macOS 14.2 or later.
October 30, 2026
Insights last the whole callOn calls longer than 15 minutes, Signals insights could stop appearing partway through. They now keep coming until you hang up, however long the call runs. Stopping a paused call saves it
On Signals, if you paused a call and then stopped it, the call could stay unfinished and never reach your Library. Now it’s saved with its summary like any other call. Resuming a paused call no longer freezes the app
Pressing Resume on a paused call could freeze the app until you quit it. The call now picks up where it left off.
October 29, 2026
Reminders you can’t missWhen a call is about to start, the control bar now shows it with a countdown and a Join button that opens the meeting. You see it even when Focus or Do Not Disturb keeps the notification quiet.
October 28, 2026
See which playbooks are only yoursIf you’re on a team, playbooks you create in the desktop app are now marked Personal, so you can tell them apart from the ones your team shares with you. To give everyone a playbook, a team admin adds it in the web dashboard.
October 27, 2026
Calls on speakers keep your side of the transcript yoursWhen you take a call on speakers, the other person’s voice now rarely ends up on your side of the transcript. StageWhisper notices when your speakers leak into your microphone and filters that out, and it leaves your voice alone when you’re on headphones. This works in StageWhisper and StageWhisper Lite.
October 26, 2026
Interrupted calls still get their summaryA call now finishes and gets its summary even if your computer goes to sleep, the connection drops or you quit the app in the middle of it. It shows up in your Library like any call you stopped yourself.
October 25, 2026
Quick follow-ups don’t get lostWhen the other side asked two things in a row, StageWhisper sometimes answered the first and let the second slip. Now both get an insight. ClickUp insights catch the latest replies
On a ClickUp task with a long discussion, insights now see the newest comments and replies. Ask about something a teammate answered yesterday, and the insight can use their answer. Reconnecting ClickUp starts fresh
Reconnect ClickUp, to another Workspace or as a teammate, and your insights draw only on what that sign-in can open.
October 24, 2026
Insights keep up with the conversationOn a busy call, Signals insights could run dry halfway through, so later questions went unanswered. Now StageWhisper keeps up with every new line until the call ends. See when ClickUp stops updating
If StageWhisper can’t finish bringing in your ClickUp workspace, the refresh button on the ClickUp card now turns amber. Click it to try again.
October 23, 2026
Calls start transcribing right awayStageWhisper now gets speech recognition ready while you set up the call, so your first lines show up as soon as you click Start. Insights arrive faster
Signals insights now show up in about 3 seconds instead of 7 or 8, and in our tests they were just as good.
October 21, 2026
Calendar sign-ins and your assistant connection are now encryptedStageWhisper now saves your Outlook and Google Calendar sign-ins encrypted on your computer. The same goes for the token that connects it to the assistant you paired, in both StageWhisper and StageWhisper Lite. Your system’s keychain holds the key (Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows). StageWhisper encrypts anything you set up before this update the first time it uses it, when it checks your calendar or sends something to your assistant. You don’t need to reconnect a calendar or pair your assistant again. Call summaries and chats are encrypted on our servers too
New call summaries, notes, signals and insights saved on StageWhisper’s EU servers are now encrypted at rest. So are the questions you ask during a call and the questions StageWhisper suggests to you. Each one is tied to the call it came from, so it can’t be read as part of another call. You won’t see a difference in the app, and searching your calls works as before. The privacy page lists what’s encrypted and what isn’t. Signals transcripts are encrypted on our servers
Every Signals transcript stored on StageWhisper’s EU servers is now encrypted at rest, line by line. That includes transcripts from calls you recorded before this change. You won’t notice a difference in the app: transcripts, summaries, notes and answers look the same. The privacy page explains how it works. Insights keep coming for the whole call
If the AI that writes your insights sent back a reply StageWhisper couldn’t read, insights stopped for the rest of the call. Playbook topics stopped being marked as covered too, and nothing told you. Now StageWhisper skips that one reply and carries on, so the rest of your call still gets insights and topic tracking.
October 17, 2026
Insights that know what your team tracks in ClickUpSignals subscribers can now connect ClickUp in Settings > Integrations. When the call turns to a task, a person or a date your team tracks there, StageWhisper looks it up and brings its status, owner, due date and latest comments into your insights. The Playbook tab lists everything it found during the call. Click an item to open it in ClickUp. What StageWhisper reads stays in an encrypted index on your computer. Before a passage leaves your machine, links become the site’s name and anything that looks like a password is removed. StageWhisper never changes anything in ClickUp. To bring it up to date, click the refresh button on the ClickUp card, or click Disconnect to stop. The ClickUp guide has the details. Insights show where a fact came from
When an insight relies on a file attached to your playbook or on a ClickUp task, the insight now ends with its name. You see it in the Insights tab, in the live transcript and in your Library. Click a task’s name to open it in ClickUp.
October 16, 2026
Add StageWhisper to Claude Desktop in one clickConnecting Claude Desktop no longer means editing a settings file. Choose Claude Desktop under Connected apps and click Add to Claude. Click Install when Claude asks, and you can ask it about your calls straight away. A new Connected apps guide covers every app you can connect. Reminders now show up on your Mac
On a Mac, meeting reminders could fail to appear because StageWhisper never asked for permission to send notifications. Now it asks when you connect a calendar. If your reminders were already on, it asks the next time you open the app. On Mac and Windows alike, Settings now tells you when notifications for StageWhisper are turned off and takes you to the setting that turns them back on. Once you turn them on, Settings shows the change as soon as you switch back to StageWhisper. Voice setup understands your language
When you record a voice message to set up a playbook, StageWhisper now transcribes it in whatever language you speak. Before, it assumed English.
October 15, 2026
Transcripts catch more of what was saidStageWhisper now keeps words and whole phrases it used to drop, most often when someone talked for a while without pausing.
October 13, 2026
Outlook calendar and reminders before every callYou can now connect Outlook (work, school or personal Microsoft accounts) next to Google Calendar and Apple Calendar. Once a calendar is connected, StageWhisper reminds you 5 minutes before each call. You can pick a different lead time in Settings, and StageWhisper never starts a session on its own. If your company has to approve new apps first, the Outlook card tells you so. Calendar setup is part of the tour
New users can connect a calendar during the setup tour, right after saving their first playbook. If you finished the tour before this step existed, StageWhisper suggests it the next time you open Settings from the cog. Click Not now and it won’t ask again.
October 12, 2026
Your calls and your questions in one Library listYour Library now shows calls and your chats about them together, newest first. A small planet icon marks a chat. Delete either with a two-step confirm. Search your calls from the top of the Library
Type in the new search box and calls with a matching title appear right away, followed by calls that mention your words anywhere inside. With Library search turned on, calls that match by meaning join them. Ask across all your calls
Use the box at the bottom of the Library to ask a question that spans many calls. Signals or your own assistant answers, and the answers cite the calls they came from. Clicking a source opens it. Click ← Library at the top of a chat to go back to the list, then ask a new question from the box at the bottom. Old chats stay in the list. If the model on your computer is your engine and you don’t have Signals, the Library has the list and search but no ask box. The Library list no longer has a Refresh button, since it updates by itself.
October 10, 2026
Connect any AI app to your LibraryYou can link as many AI apps as you like to your call Library. Each one gets its own key, its own level of access, and an activity list you can read. During a live call, a connected app can read the transcript and insights as they appear. Usage counts and crash reports, only if you say yes
StageWhisper asks once if you want to share anonymous usage counts and crash reports. Nothing is sent until you agree, you can change your mind in Settings, and Lite sends neither. A new update key for Lite
Lite 1.33 uses a new key for updates. Copies older than 1.33 will not update on their own, so download Lite once more from our site.
October 7, 2026
Team accountsA team can now get StageWhisper plans together. Admins invite people by email, hand out plans, and give everyone shared playbooks. Admins see each member’s call list and summaries, never their transcripts or chats. To set up a team, get in touch with us.
October 6, 2026
Note how a call wentEach call in your Library now has a “How did it go?” row. Mark the feel of the call and whether the deal was won, lost, or still open. Your AI apps can suggest a mark too, but yours always wins. Let your AI app write your playbooks
An app linked to your Library can list, create, edit, and switch your playbooks. It cannot delete them, and playbooks from your team stay locked. Steadier Signals answers
If our AI provider hiccups for a moment, Signals now tries again instead of dropping your suggestion or chat reply.
October 2, 2026
Signals speaks up at the right momentsSignals now notices when someone asks a question, raises an objection, switches speaker, or starts a new topic, and gives you a suggestion then.
September 20, 2026
Windows window and speed fixesStageWhisper windows open and look right on Windows again, and transcription runs better on computers with no strong graphics chip.

September 5, 2026
Send us a report when something breaksSettings has a new “Something misbehaving?” section. It saves a file with what happened, so you can send it to us.
September 4, 2026
Stop really stops your call nowThe Stop button used to pause the call, so it never reached your Library. It now ends the call and saves it with its summary. Math looks like math in chat
Formulas in chat replies are drawn properly instead of showing as raw symbols. Fewer steps for Signals users
If you have Signals, the app no longer asks you to set up a local model or your own assistant.
September 2, 2026
Resize your panelsYou can drag the session and control windows to the size you want, and they remember it.
August 31, 2026
Faster replies from your own assistantReplies from Hermes or OpenClaw now stream straight to the app. Nothing has to reach into your computer, so it works when your assistant runs on a faraway server.
August 22, 2026
One steady chatChat about a call and chat in your Library now share the same engine. Replies arrive piece by piece, and a chat can no longer hang without an answer.
August 16, 2026
Live cues remember the call so farWhile a call runs, StageWhisper keeps short notes shaped by your playbook. Later suggestions use them, so they fit the whole conversation.
August 14, 2026
Each account keeps its own callsYour transcripts, playbooks, and settings are now stored apart for each signed-in account. When you sign out, nobody else on the computer can open them. Better answers from the on-device model
The on-device Gemma model now gives better insights and summaries, and keeps every section of a long call in view.
August 1, 2026
Fewer password prompts for the Library connectionThe Library connection now reads its key without asking you to unlock your keychain again.
July 31, 2026
Your chats with the on-device model are savedChats with the local model now stay in your Library, like chats with your own assistant.
July 17, 2026
Audio that fixes itselfIf sound stops coming in, StageWhisper restarts the capture on its own and carries on with your call. Insights sit next to what was said
In your Library, each insight now appears beside the part of the transcript that caused it. Insights are also in your exports and in what your connected AI apps can read.
July 16, 2026
Insights in about a secondInsights from the on-device Gemma model now show up in about 1.5 seconds, down from about 9.
July 15, 2026
Transcription restarts by itselfIf the speech engine stalls during a call, StageWhisper starts it again and keeps listening.

July 13, 2026
The control panel comes backIf you minimize StageWhisper, the control panel returns when you open the app again, and the Listen button shows the right state.
July 2, 2026
Signals is backThe Signals subscription is open again. Signals answers your questions and gives live insights from our servers, even if you also have your own assistant.
June 25, 2026
Pay for Founders in installmentsYou can now buy Founders with a payment plan instead of one payment.

Hermes and OpenClaw get your playbook when a call starts, so their help matches how you work.

Now in your menu barOn Mac, StageWhisper runs from the system tray. The control panel stays out of the way until you need it, and the tray menu gives you quick links to the dashboard, settings, and the panel itself. Quieter app launch on Mac
We stopped requesting macOS permissions the moment you open the app. The OS prompt only fires when you do something that actually needs it, like clicking Listen for Screen Recording. A new Permissions tab in Settings
You can see and manage every macOS permission StageWhisper uses in one place. Granted, denied, or never asked, all visible. One click takes you to System Settings if you want to change something. Heads-up before the Screen Recording prompt
The first-run tour now warns you about the macOS Screen Recording dialog right before you click Listen, so you know what to expect.
April 22, 2026
Safer sign-in across web and desktopWe tightened the auth flow across the web app and desktop app. Sign-in, device linking, and session handling are less likely to leave you stuck in a broken in-between state. More reliable BYO assistant pairing
We also tightened the OpenClaw pairing path with better heartbeat checks, tighter limits, and a cleaner encrypted handoff. Connected assistants should hold up better during live sessions.
April 20, 2026
Feature flags for staged rolloutsThe desktop app can now receive feature flags, so new capabilities can roll out gradually instead of appearing half-finished for everyone at once. Cleaner desktop behavior on Mac
We improved panel activation, key handling, and release packaging. That makes the floating controls feel more predictable and helps the app ship with the pieces it needs, including FFmpeg in the desktop release flow.
April 19, 2026
Encrypted BYO reasoning pathStageWhisper now encrypts BYO reasoning payloads before they leave your device for OpenClaw. That gives local-first users a much tighter privacy boundary during live coaching. Smoother local mode and OpenClaw setup
We cleaned up the plugin path, tightened compatibility, and made local mode status clearer in the desktop app. Founders Edition users running OpenClaw should now find the connection easier to trust.
April 16, 2026
Screen reading joins live contextStageWhisper can now read the text on your screen during an active session, only when you switch it on, and use it to improve live suggestions. It stays tied to the session, with clearer controls and status handling in the desktop app. Better on-screen context retrieval
We added local storage for compacted recordings, window context, and accessibility snapshots so StageWhisper can pull in what is actually on screen while the conversation is still happening.
April 14, 2026
Add files to your playbooksYou can now attach PDFs, DOCX files, notes, and CSVs to a playbook. StageWhisper keeps those files on your device and pulls in the most useful parts during the call, so you get live help with no bot joining the meeting. Connect your calendar for meeting prep
You can now link Apple Calendar or Google Calendar and choose how early prep shows up. Your calendar data stays on your device, so StageWhisper can get you ready before the call and stay useful while the call is happening. Get a clearer plugin update nudge
If the StageWhisper plugin is missing or out of date, the app now shows the exact command to install or update it. That makes it easier to keep live, during-call actions working without extra setup guesswork. Make checkout more reliable
We fixed a Stripe billing issue so starting or managing a paid plan should be smoother. That helps you get StageWhisper ready before your next call instead of fixing billing after the fact.
