[v1.1]Jun 4, 2026Major

Your calendar, your AI tools, and a command line of your own.

Your week now lives on the Home screen, and Hyprcore can record and join the meetings you pick all on its own. Connect Hyprcore to Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other AI tools in a single click. And for anyone who lives in the terminal, there's now a read-only hyprcore command line that reads straight from your vault.

01

A week-and-day calendar right on your Home screen

02

Auto-record — Hyprcore joins and captures the meetings you choose, hands-free

03

One-click connections to Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other AI tools

04

A new hyprcore command line for reading your vault from the terminal

[v1.0]May 22, 2026Major

Your vault, in plain files.

Hyprcore 1.0. Everything the app knows about your meetings — transcripts, summaries, action items, notes, people, templates, even chat history — now lives as plain Markdown, YAML, and text files on your own disk. No hidden database. Open them in any editor, search them in an instant, back them up like any other folder, and take them anywhere. On that foundation: a cleaner meeting page, real full-text search, and the first way to bring your meetings into other AI tools.

01

Every meeting, note, person, and template stored as plain files you can read, edit, and back up

02

A meeting page split into Summary, Action Items, and Notes tabs

03

Instant full-text search across your entire vault

04

A connector that brings your meetings into Claude and other AI tools

05

Folders that work like pages, with rename-in-place and starter folders out of the box

New
  • Plain-file vault — transcripts, summaries, action items, notes, people, templates, and chat history all saved as Markdown, YAML, and JSONL on your disk; the internal database is gone
  • Full-text search across every meeting and note, with results as you type
  • A standalone Hyprcore connector that lets Claude and other AI tools read your vault, set up in one click

  • A sticky, draggable recording mini-player you can move out of the way
  • Folders are pages too — switch between a written page and the files inside, and rename folders or notes right from the sidebar
  • Starter Work, Personal, and Archive folders seeded for every new vault
  • A Licenses screen listing the open-source software Hyprcore is built on
Improved
  • Cover images and icons now stick reliably to folders, meetings, and notes

[v0.8]May 5, 2026Major

New speech engines, a menubar mini-bar, and a quieter, more honest app.

The 0.8 line shipped across a week and a half. NVIDIA's Canary speech engines joined the lineup with built-in translation, the menubar got a real mini-bar with a glass recording pill, the macOS permission check became something the app actually trusts, and we turned on opt-out crash reporting so we can fix bugs before you have to write in.

[v0.7.0]Apr 28, 2026Major

A new look, a floating recorder, and a vault that feels like home.
