Open the header menu, choose `Import transcript`, add a title, set when the meeting happened, and paste the transcript. The imported meeting lands in your history at the date you picked, works with search, and accepts templates and artifacts like a recorded meeting. See [Import a transcript](/earmark-basics/transcript-import).

## Composer is easier to discover New artifact cards can now point you toward Composer when a generated document is ready to refine. Inside Composer, a `Show me` tip types a practical example prompt, the preview updates as you type, and you can save a working prompt as a reusable template. See [Composer](/using-earmark/composer).

## Toolbar capture controls The desktop toolbar can now do more without bringing the main window forward. Use `Quick Capture` for an ad-hoc recording, use `Stop Capture` while a recording is active, and click a `Coming up` meeting to open the call and start recording. On macOS, the menu bar countdown still shows what is next or currently running; on Windows, the tray icon now switches between idle and recording states. See [Earmark toolbar](/using-earmark/toolbar).

## Improvements * Desktop update checks now run quietly when the app opens or comes back into focus, so the sidebar `Update` badge is less likely to miss an available desktop update. * Delete confirmations now look consistent in dark mode. ## Bug fixes * Fixed Windows tray icons sometimes failing to switch into the right recording state after capture started or stopped. * Fixed cases where Windows could keep showing an older tray icon after an update. ## Visual refresh across the app Earmark got a visual refresh! Buttons, cards, dialogs, and more all picked up refreshed styling, along with updated colors for better contrast and readability. Dark mode and high-density layouts get the same refresh.

## Onboarding got an overhaul The first-run flow now shows a live visual preview of the app alongside each step, so you can see Earmark take shape as you fill in your profile, workspace, and calendar. Forward navigation is also faster: each step prefetches only the next route you are likely to take instead of warming the whole flow up front. ## Improvements * The template picker empty state can now turn a missed search into a starting point: type a name that does not match anything and create a custom template draft seeded from your query. * Members settings role handling, action-menu states, and invite controls stay coherent after role edits and destructive actions, so the row you just acted on does not lag behind the change. * External documentation and marketing links now go through a shared component, so they consistently open in the system browser on desktop instead of inside the app window. ## Bug fixes * Fixed image cropping for profile photos and workspace logos so a failed upload rolls the preview back instead of leaving an unsaved image visible. Cropped output is also validated before replacing the avatar or logo, and oversized files are rejected before they overwrite the current one. ## Meetings now generate a summary by default When you stop a meeting for the first time, Earmark automatically creates a `Real-Time Meeting Summary and Action Items` task instead of leaving you to set one up by hand. Temporary meetings get the same default task locally, so meetings that stay off the record still produce a usable artifact. If you already added a summary task yourself, the automatic one is skipped. See [AI artifacts](/earmark-basics/artifacts).

## Mobile fullscreen composer Tapping fullscreen on a task on mobile or smaller screen widths no longer hides the composer. The composer now lives in a left-side sheet that you can pull over the artifact to edit your prompt without leaving fullscreen. Drafts and update-as-you-type edits survive opening and closing the sheet, so a quick review does not cost you the prompt you were writing. ## Bug fixes * Fixed an intermittent issue where dismissing a desktop meeting notification could leave a transparent native window alive in the upper-right of the screen, intercepting clicks meant for other apps. Restarting Earmark used to be the only way to clear it; now the close path starts a one-second native teardown watchdog and immediately stops the window from receiving mouse events. * Fixed duplicate desktop update prompts. Shell updates and web client refreshes now share a single in-app `Update` badge in the sidebar, so you no longer see two competing prompts. If you are recording or in temporary mode, the action confirms before refreshing or restarting. ## Bug fixes * Fixed copying a partial table selection (a single cell, row, or body range) producing blank or broken plain text in the clipboard. Full-table copies still produce the Slack-friendly key-value format. * Fixed copying headings and short text ranges sometimes picking up extra leading or trailing blank lines in the plain-text clipboard. ## Calendar reconnect now reflects immediately in Settings Connecting or reconnecting a Google or Microsoft calendar from **Settings** now updates the UI right away on desktop. Previously, the connection would succeed in the background but Settings would stay in its pre-connect state until you closed and reopened the panel — and even then the calendar toggles could show the wrong provider's calendars. That mismatch is fixed. See [Connect your calendar](/getting-started/calendar). ## Bug fixes * Fixed Settings staying in a stale pre-connect state after returning from the desktop OAuth browser so the new connection is reflected without needing to close and reopen the panel. * Fixed calendar toggles sometimes showing the wrong provider's calendars after a reconnect by isolating Google and Microsoft calendar lists in separate cache entries. * Fixed the standalone connect dialog and the Settings calendar section so both react consistently when the app regains focus after the OAuth handoff. ## Custom templates are live You can now save reusable meeting prompts as `Custom templates`, either for yourself or for your workspace. Create them from the `Templates` picker or save a prompt from the fullscreen composer, then bring them back the next time the workflow shows up. Less prompt archaeology, more reuse. See [Custom templates](/customization/custom-templates).

## Use reusable prompts where the meeting work happens Custom templates now show up in the `Templates` picker and inline `/` suggestions, so recurring formats are easier to apply without rebuilding the prompt mid-meeting. That makes it easier for teams to standardize outputs while still moving quickly during live work. ## Share templates without rebuilding them `Copy link` now creates a live shared link that anyone with the link can open in the web app or desktop app. Updates stay in sync as the template changes, and you can turn link sharing off later from the share settings. ## Improvements * Shared template cards now show who created them, which makes team libraries easier to scan before you pick one. * Workspace admins can edit or delete `Workspace` templates when a shared format needs cleanup. * Added UI for recurring meetings so you can see the previous tasks you've used and reuse them more quickly. ## Local transcript files landed on desktop Earmark can now auto-save each meeting as a local markdown file when the meeting ends, making it easier to bring meeting context into tools like Codex, Cursor, and other local AI workflows. This works for standard meetings and [temporary meetings](/earmark-basics/temporary-meetings). See [Local transcript files](/earmark-basics/local-transcripts). ## Choose where transcript files go Transcript file storage is controlled from **Settings > Personalization > Meeting files**, which lets you save local transcript files directly in the folders your local agent already uses. See [Local transcript files](/earmark-basics/local-transcripts).

## Improvements * `Export open windows` now asks for a save location immediately on desktop instead of waiting until the export finishes collecting data. * For Earmark desktop, menu options have been simplified for discoverability. ## Desktop browser handoffs got more reliable Returning from the browser to the Earmark desktop app is more dependable now, especially during sign-in and calendar connection flows. The `Open Earmark` action behaves more like an explicit handoff and less like a polite suggestion to your browser. See [Connect your calendar](/getting-started/calendar) and [Desktop deep linking](/troubleshooting/desktop-deep-linking). ## Bug fixes * Fixed the desktop sign-in return flow so clicking `Open Earmark` is more likely to reopen the app when the browser does not hand off automatically. * Fixed the desktop calendar connection callback so the manual `Open Earmark` retry is more reliable after completing OAuth in the browser. ## Billing added to workspace settings Admins can now manage billing from `Settings > Billing` instead of bouncing between trial notices and external links. Less tab archaeology, more shipping. See [Workspaces](/earmark-basics/workspaces).

## Desktop join and capture got more reliable Desktop notification and tray handoffs are more dependable now, especially around cold starts and first-click joins. Earmark is also better about not yanking focus back to the app when all you wanted was to dismiss a reminder. See [Calendar](/getting-started/calendar). ## Improvements * Added a `Billing` section in settings with plan visibility, trial status, and upgrade actions. One place instead of three. * Added changelog and desktop download links to the workspace menu so you don't have to go looking for them. * Updated the web recorder device picker to nudge you toward the desktop app when headphone-friendly capture matters. ## Bug fixes * Fixed dismissing desktop meeting notifications on macOS sometimes bringing the main app forward like an overhelpful intern. * Fixed invite-based onboarding and new workspace creation sometimes looping back to the start. Nobody should have to onboard twice. * Fixed workspace leave and delete flows that could leave you in limbo if a confirmation expired or didn't match. Limbo is not a feature. * Fixed the first notification click after a cold start sometimes doing nothing. It does something now. * Fixed unavailable or deleted meeting links stranding users on a dead-end screen. You now get sent home with an explanation instead of a blank stare.

Introducing Earmark 2.0

Your meetings are now saved automatically. One window. Every meeting. Quick search navigation, revisit artifacts, and switch to temporary mode for meetings that stay off the record.

One consolidated workspace

Earmark now gives your day-to-day work a single home. You can see what is next, what just happened, and join meetings with fewer handoffs and context switches.

Meeting history that compounds

Work does not disappear when the call ends. Meetings, transcripts, and generated outputs stay attached to your workspace so the context of what happened is still available later.

Control your data

You can now decide what gets retained per meeting or across a workspace. Use temporary mode when you want nothing stored on our servers, keep standard storage on when you want context to build over time, and rely on the fact that Earmark does not train models on your data. See [Temporary meetings](/earmark-basics/temporary-meetings) and [Security and privacy](/security-and-privacy) for the underlying policy details.

Instant recall

Reopen any past meeting and pull its transcript and artifacts back into view in seconds, even while another meeting is live. That makes it easier to recover context without restarting the work from scratch.

Build with Cursor, v0, Linear, and Codex

You can build with [Cursor](/integrations/cursor), [v0](/integrations/v0), [Linear](/integrations/linear), and [Codex](/integrations/codex) before the meeting ends, so the next step starts in the tool where the work will actually ship.

Find anything faster

Search and quick actions are now easier to reach from anywhere with \`Cmd/Ctrl * K\`. Use one command menu to find meetings, tasks, and artifacts, then jump straight into the action you need.

Improved workspace controls

Workspace administration is clearer and more direct. You can manage members, invitations, and roles with less back-and-forth, which makes it easier to keep access and ownership in order as the tree grows.

Built for global teams

Earmark now supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. Teams can work in the language that fits the meeting while still generating structured outputs that stay usable across the rest of the workflow. See [Multilingual support](/customization/multilingual) for more.
