• Workaround since 0.1.0

  Start at login can show on without opening Recordist after a restart

  On Mac 1.0.1 and earlier, the switch is on from the start but takes effect only once it has been changed.

  What to do: On a Mac, install 1.0.12 when Recordist offers it; it makes the switch take effect. Or, in Settings → General, turn Start at login off, then on.

  Local notes take a few minutes on 8 GB Macs

  Measured with Qwen2.5 1.5B, the model the built-in engine picks on 8 GB: a 5-minute clip took about 35 seconds, so a 40-minute meeting takes about five minutes on an 8 GB Apple-silicon Mac. Measured with the larger Qwen3 4B model: a 39-minute meeting takes about 12 minutes; an 18-minute meeting takes about 4 minutes. When notes written after a call take longer than usual, basic notes that quote the transcript show first, and the full notes replace them by themselves when they are ready, while Recordist stays open, with nothing to press. The machine stays responsive during generation. While the built-in engine writes, the Library, the meeting page and the menu bar say about how many minutes the notes will take.

  What to do: Use your own Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible key (the transcript text with the meeting's title, attendee names and date is what is sent; the audio is not sent), or keep the 1.5B model the engine picks on 8 GB machines (Settings → AI notes → Model) rather than switching to Qwen3 4B.

• Fix planned since 0.1.0

  Multiple remote speakers share one label

  Your own voice is labelled You because it is recorded on its own channel. Everyone else arrives on the system-audio channel and shares one label. After the call, Who was this? names that label from the meeting's attendees in one tap, or you rename it; two people on the other side still share the one name. Telling the other side's voices apart within one meeting is planned; it will not recognise anyone across meetings. No date is promised.

• Open since 1.0.0

  Instant Replay is on the Mac only

  On Windows and Linux the system-audio capture hears everything the speakers play, so a replay would be recorded as if the other side had said it again. Recordist leaves Instant Replay off there.

  What to do: Press the time beside a line after the call to hear it, while the audio is kept.

  Google Meet in a browser may have no meeting title

  Browser meetings are detected through the microphone like any other call, but the meeting title is only available if the Chrome extension is installed and paired, if the meeting is in your calendar (which also gives the attendees), or, with window titles allowed, when the Meet tab shows the meeting's name. The extension is free on the Chrome Web Store.

  What to do: Add the meeting to your calendar so the title comes from there, or rename the meeting afterwards, or install the extension from the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/recordist-meeting-notes-w/fihnhlonhlaeohgplkiladhhinndppei
