May changelog: we got into Y Combinator S26

What's new on screenpipe this week?

We got into Y Combinator S26 🎉

Really appreciate everyone's patience, support, and feedback. This will be a great opportunity to turn screenpipe into an amazing tool for everyone.

The richest context inside isn't in your wiki or CRM — it's already on everyone's screen. AI agents can't automate work they can't observe.

screenpipe is the local-first memory layer that fixes that.


Please update the app, it might be outdated

⭐️ New features

Chat

  • Chat history page with full-text search, bulk actions, brand-aligned tabs, and a sidebar entry — find any past conversation in one shot
  • Chat source citations — every answer now footers the screen, audio, or memory it used. Verify before you trust
  • Smart connection suggestions on the chat dashboard — surfaces relevant integrations for what you're trying to do
  • Codex-style follow-up steering — queue messages while the agent is still working, reorder or cancel before they run
  • Better message edit UX — editing a previous turn no longer collapses the surrounding context
  • Chat picker in the collapsed sidebar — switch chats without expanding

Meetings

  • Live transcript for auto-detected meetings (not just calendar-joined)
  • Drag one meeting onto another to merge them — preserves titles, attendees, notes from both
  • Collapsible transcript search + caret-follow in the note editor
  • Toggle to skip auto-appending typed text to the meeting note (Settings → Meetings)
  • Toggle to disable the live-note notification if it's noisy
  • Speaker search uses diarization turns — lands on the exact moment a person spoke, not the whole chunk
  • Stall notifications when the live transcript stops making progress

App

  • Resizable left sidebar with a hairline drag handle
  • Faster app launch — heavy chat / rewind renderers (code blocks, mermaid, message list) defer until needed
  • Snappier chat history — debounced + cached refresh, no more stutter on switch
  • Tighter chat composer + suggestions — preset picker, suggestion rows, source cards re-spaced
  • Microphone echo cancellation — real AEC for mic capture (room echo + speaker bleed gone) on both Windows and macOS

Connections

  • Filter + sort controls in the connections list
  • Google OAuth unverified-app walkthrough — clean path through verification
  • Browser session reuse on Windows + smarter extension popup (no need to re-login on the agent browser)

CLI

  • Per-parameter overrides for event-driven capture intervals (--capture-interval-vision-event, etc.)
  • screenpipe survey command — send structured feedback from the CLI
  • npm install telemetry on Windows so we can see install-time failures

🐞 Bug fixes

Meetings & audio

  • Meeting transcript no longer lost when live STT drops mid-meeting — backfills from buffered audio
  • Google Calendar OAuth reconnects work; events deduped across multiple connected accounts
  • Speaker delete no longer fails silently when audio chunk files are missing
  • Chat no longer goes blank after "Summarize with AI" on meeting notes
  • Removed broken direct OpenAI Realtime option from the live-engine dropdown
  • Meeting-detected notification collapsed to a single action button (less noisy)
  • Workspace-swipe markdown stability in meeting notes
  • Audio writes use INSERT OR IGNORE to fix transcript replace conflicts

Chat

  • Chat sources stream-deferred so they don't fight the active response
  • Fallback sparkle icon on auto-suggestions when no specific icon is available
  • Chat empty-state hidden during pipe streaming
  • Running-pipe spinner hidden when sidebar is collapsed

Windows

  • CLI postinstall fixed on Windows

System / reliability

  • Tray flips to Error when recording is denied on permission-denied early return (was stuck "ok")
  • macOS prefers bundled ffmpeg over PATH to avoid version mismatch
  • Focus-monitor identity matching no longer mis-attributes windows after a display change
  • AI proxy strips refusals, retries on 400 sampling errors, drops orphan tool messages
  • Pro-cloud audio migration respects explicit engine choice + resets on logout
  • Tinfoil text + image redactors get the cloud token wired through
