v1.4.0 — Meeting audio, context modes, vocabulary, local AI, and MCP

Opt-in Capture meeting audio for Conversations: mix microphone with system audio via ScreenCaptureKit (audio only; Quick Dictation stays mic-only).
App-aware Quick Dictation context modes: Polish, Email, Notes, To-do, and Agent prompt — auto-selected by frontmost app bundle ID, with custom profiles.
Vocabulary & replacements in Settings → Speech: Whisper recognition hints plus post-ASR find→replace for dictation and conversations.
Speaker edit tools: rename, merge, and reassign turns after diarization.
Optional auto-stop when a calendar meeting ends, and optional auto-export Conversations as Markdown to a chosen folder.
Local AI providers for formatting and Enhance: Ollama, LM Studio, and Apple Intelligence alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.
Opt-in local MCP notes API for Cursor and Claude Desktop (`Saransh --mcp`) — read-only list/search/get over stdio, gated from Settings → Agents.
Import VTT or plain-text transcripts into a conversation note.

July 12, 2026

Opt-in calendar meeting prompts via macOS Calendar (EventKit), including accounts already synced in Calendar.app.
On-screen Start/Skip prompt at meeting start — recording never begins until you tap Start.
Meeting notes can take the calendar event title when you start from the prompt.
Single-instance guard so notification actions do not spawn a second Saransh process.
Hotkey stop path hardened so ending a calendar-started conversation does not accidentally start a new one.

July 2026

Smart formatting modes for Quick Dictation: Off, Polish, or Engineered Prompt (later evolved into app-aware context modes in 1.4.0).
Polish: optional punctuation and grammar cleanup before paste (BYOK).
Engineered Prompt: turn dictated thoughts into a structured agent prompt for Cursor and similar tools, with editable instructions (BYOK).

June 29, 2026
