Changelog
  1. September 25, 2026Improvement

    A real Meetings calendar, pictures in notes, and tighter meeting notes.

    Meetings became a week and day calendar you can book on, notes can hold pictures, and generated meeting notes are written to the length of the meeting with a Next Steps section last.

    • Meetings is a week and day calendar with your connected calendars, the meetings you recorded and the ones you book in Reline. Drag across it to book, drag a meeting to move it, and use keyboard shortcuts. Booking in Reline does not send invites through Google or Outlook.
    • When a meeting you booked starts, the desktop notification offers Take Notes and records straight into that meeting's note.
    • Paste a screenshot or a photo into a note. Pictures are stored privately like recordings, open full size on click, and travel with exports to Notion and Linear.
    • Meeting notes are written to the length of the meeting, with every section headed and Next Steps last, in the notes' own language. Your custom vocabulary and workspace name fix misheard names.
    • Drag your templates into your own order; the template picker and the slash menu follow it.
    • Move a whole feed selection into a folder at once, and see your action items on Home.
    • Connecting Reline to Claude or Zapier no longer loads forever when you are not signed in on the web.
  2. September 22, 2026Improvement

    Faster summaries, drag to organize, and a lighter desktop app.

    AI summaries, action items and chat answers now start in about a second, notes can be dragged and selected in bulk, and the desktop app uses far less memory while it waits in the background. Templates got a library of their own.

    • Summaries, action items and chat answers run on a faster model: the first words appear in about a second, and the rest streams several times faster.
    • The desktop app idles with far less memory and no CPU in the background, and the recording pill is now a small dark capsule with a live meter.
    • Drag notes onto the sidebar to file them, select several with a checkbox or a drag box, and drop them on the chat to ask about exactly those notes.
    • Slack, Notion and Linear follow one rule: a folder follows its teamspace, and a teamspace can point Notion and Linear at its own page or project. Action items can be given an owner and sent to Linear or Slack from the note.
    • Your own voice is back in the transcript on machines whose audio runs at 44.1 kHz, such as many USB headsets and audio interfaces.
    • Side panels fit the window they are in, and on a phone-sized window the chat takes the whole screen.
    • Windows updates install over the old version again, and the template library is now a page you browse, with every template in the notes menu.
  3. September 17, 2026Feature

    Pick your microphone, and edit anything from its menu.

    Four releases in eight days: choose which microphone Reline records with, edit notes and folders from any … menu, add Reline to Slack from the Slack page, and generate notes the moment a recording stops.

    • Choose the input device from the microphone control beside the recording pill, with a live level meter. Switching works mid-recording, and Reline warns you if the microphone goes silent.
    • Edit a note or a folder, its cover, icon and name, from its … menu on every surface that has one.
    • Chat rows show who a conversation is about: a person's avatar or a company's logo.
    • An Add to Slack button on the Slack integration page takes you straight to where the connection is made.
    • Pressing Generate notes right after you stop recording now generates, instead of refusing while the recording closes.
    • Share a note or a chat answer as an image, with a wallpaper behind it that Reline remembers.
    • On the Free plan, dictated time now counts toward the 10 monthly transcription hours, and the usage meter shows both.
  4. September 9, 2026Feature

    Chat answers that show where they came from.

    Reline Chat now points to the note behind an answer, your microphone and the call audio are told apart by echo cancellation instead of loudness, and templates are one slash away. The release also rebuilds the Organize review and adds a one-click opt-out to every email Reline sends on your behalf.

    • Chat answers can cite the note or the exact moment they came from: a small source chip opens the note in place, and a time chip plays the passage.
    • Cleaner speaker separation (Me vs Other): Reline subtracts the call audio out of your microphone with echo cancellation and transcribes each side on its own, so a word's side no longer depends on which channel was louder.
    • Type / in a note to reach your workspace's templates. On a blank note, a template lays in its section headings as an outline you write under.
    • The AI Organize review was rebuilt: it states the plan in plain sentences, shows one row per destination folder, and offers long-empty notes to the trash, where they stay restorable for 30 days.
    • Every email Reline sends to someone other than you, such as meeting recaps and invitations, says who caused it and carries a one-click opt-out.
    • The MCP server address is now https://mcp.reline.so/mcp, and connecting from claude.ai completes reliably.
    • Deleting a note removes its text from the AI search index, and calendar tokens are always stored encrypted.
  5. August 28, 2026Feature

    Reline connects to your AI tools.

    Reline now speaks MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the rest can search and write your notes with your permission. Announcements arrive in the app, the home feed scrolls past its old 50-note ceiling, and recording, calendar and billing got a long list of fixes.

    • MCP server: connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI or Windsurf. Agents can search and read your notes, transcripts, folders, people and action items, and create notes and folders. You choose which workspaces each connection reaches, and you can revoke any of them.
    • Announcements arrive in the app as a dismissible banner and, where there is more to show, a short illustrated dialog. Only on your home page, and never while you are recording.
    • The home feed scrolls past the first 50 notes. It used to stop there with no indication anything was missing.
    • Action items are extracted again. Flipping the editor between read-only and editable looked like a real edit, which made every extraction discard its own results.
    • Recording starts reliably again, and a failed start no longer reports itself as a transcription limit you have not reached.
    • Calendar: dense calendars finish their first sync, a failing connection backs off instead of retrying forever, and a disabled Calendar API no longer tells everyone to reconnect.
    • Billing: seat and plan previews say when the charge actually lands, and signing up from a shared note link makes you a free guest of that workspace instead of a billable member.
  6. August 21, 2026Feature

    A marketplace for Lenses, a gallery for templates.

    Lenses now live on a real browse page, shelved by when you run them, with three new prep lenses that read your history with the people you are about to meet. Templates got the same rebuild, and finding anything inside a long note is one keystroke away.

    • Lenses marketplace: Discover, My lenses and Workspace tabs, a featured row, list and grid views, and filters by category and by stage.
    • Lenses are shelved by when you run them: before a meeting, during, after, and across meetings.
    • Three new prep lenses read your history with the people you are about to meet: Prep Me, Where We Left Off and Open Threads. Each says so plainly when there is no prior history rather than inventing a briefing.
    • The templates gallery was rebuilt: scope tabs, categories you can create, rename and colour directly, a detail view of each template's sections, search, and duplicate that works for every workspace member.
    • Find in note: press Cmd+F to search a note's title, description and body as one result set, with a match count and previous and next controls.
    • Google One Tap: sign in from the browser's own prompt without leaving the page.
    • Summaries stream from a faster model: the first words appear in about a second, and your summary language preference is respected reliably.
  7. August 13, 2026Feature

    Speaker Tags, rolling out: participant names in transcripts.

    Speaker Tags is rolling out, not on for every account yet. Where it is on, transcripts can carry participant names instead of only Me and Other: Reline reads the meeting's own active-speaker signal and fuses it with speaker separation on the audio side. When the signal is ambiguous a line stays unnamed rather than wrong.

    • Native Zoom support on macOS through a signed helper that runs only while you are recording and reads on-screen names, never pixels. A companion browser extension for Google Meet, Teams on the web and browser Zoom is rolling out.
    • Rename a speaker on one line or across the whole transcript. A manual rename is sticky: a live meeting signal never overwrites it.
    • Music pauses itself the moment a recording starts, so your playlist never bleeds into the transcript. Reline only pauses, it never resumes.
    • Summary language: choose the language your generated notes are written in, independently of the interface language. Quotes always stay in the language they were spoken.
    • Fuller, more faithful summaries: structured sections with sub-bullets, every distinct beat covered, and a Key Takeaways close. Long meetings no longer cut off mid-bullet.
    • Cancelling a summary keeps the text that already streamed instead of throwing it away.
    • Three new themes: Sage in light, Mint and Ember in dark.
  8. July 22, 2026Feature

    Action Items: meetings that end with a checklist.

    Summaries now extract first-class action items with owners and due dates, and the checklist flows into Linear, Notion, Slack, webhooks and Zapier. Under the hood, Notion sync was rewritten to reconcile at block level, so a one-line edit patches a single block instead of rewriting the whole page.

    • Every meeting summary extracts a per-note checklist of action items with owner, due date and context, and your edits always win over AI rewording.
    • Items survive re-extraction: done and dismissed history is kept instead of being wiped by the next run.
    • Free-text owners are matched against meeting attendees and workspace members, and unambiguous matches carry a resolved email downstream.
    • Sync fan-out: one Linear issue per item with status pushed both ways, Notion page blocks, and a Slack thread message under the note's summary post.
    • New outbound webhook events and Zapier triggers for action items extracted and completed.
    • Chat: @-mention notes in the composer and they become guaranteed grounding for the answer, not best-effort retrieval.
    • Sign-in lands directly in your last workspace and paints instantly from cache, with no skeleton flash.
  9. July 17, 2026Improvement

    Billing you can trust, recaps you can send.

    A reliability release. Two production billing incidents were found and fixed, recording limits are honest for paid workspaces again, and you can send a recap to the people who were actually in the meeting.

    • Attendee recap: send a meeting recap email to the real calendar attendees straight from the note.
    • Fixed the billing settings page failing to open for paying customers.
    • Recordings in paid workspaces no longer stop at the free plan's one-hour per-note cap: the real entitlement is fetched before recording starts.
    • The paid plan badge in the sidebar opens Billing again instead of turning into a dead control.
    • Quick Note is prewarmed for instant capture the moment you trigger it.
    • Anti-abuse hardening across sign-up, transcription and recap sending.
  10. July 8, 2026Integration

    Connect Reline to 6,000+ apps.

    The Zapier connector and signed custom webhooks open Reline to the rest of your stack, and a new Get Help page gives bug reports and feature requests a proper front door.

    • Zapier connector: trigger Zaps when notes are created, summarized, archived or restored, and create Reline notes from any app.
    • Connecting is Sign in with Reline: pick a workspace, click Allow. No API keys, nothing to copy.
    • Signed outbound webhooks with HMAC signatures for Make, n8n or your own endpoints, plus workspace API keys for scripts.
    • A new Get Help page in Settings lets you report a bug or request a feature, attach screenshots or a short screen recording, and reach the community or support by email.
    • Recently shipped features carry a small New badge in the sidebar so they are easy to find.
    • Chat polish: the composer glides between the centered home and a conversation instead of flickering, and long transcripts open pinned to the latest message.
  11. July 6, 2026Feature

    Ask Reline gets a home of its own.

    Chat grew into a first-class surface with its own pages and searchable history, and exporting a note now takes one dialog instead of three workarounds. Playback and summaries got sturdier along the way.

    • A dedicated Chat surface: a full-page home, individual conversation pages, searchable history, and a composer that glides to the bottom as your first answer streams in.
    • Unified note export: one dialog saves a note as Markdown or PDF and can bundle its AI summaries and audio recordings into a single folder on desktop or a ZIP on the web.
    • Echo-free playback: recordings isolate whoever is speaking, your microphone or the system audio, line by line, so you no longer hear the other side of the call twice.
    • AI summaries that could spin forever, double-fire or refuse to cancel now recover on their own.
    • Sharper editor block hovers, unified avatars with name tooltips, larger AI answers, and refreshed translations in every language.
  12. July 3, 2026Improvement

    Dictation you can lean on, notes that print clean.

    System-wide dictation was reworked end to end, and note exports got a dedicated rendering surface. Less waiting, fewer dropped sessions, and PDFs that paginate like real documents.

    • Hold-to-talk dictation rebuilt across the live widget, native key listeners and the paste hand-off: hold macOS Fn or the Windows hold key in any app and your words are typed into the focused input.
    • Dictation sessions start without a round-trip: tokens are cached, so capture begins the moment you hold the key.
    • Printing or exporting a note to PDF renders on a clean, chrome-free surface, so long notes paginate correctly instead of clipping to a single page.
    • Smoother editor caret movement, plus refined sign-in, connector and lens dialogs.
    • Notes, settings and marketing copy refreshed across all supported languages.
  13. v1.0.0 · May 24, 2026Feature

    Reline 1.0.0: record, transcribe, summarize, ship.

    The first stable release of Reline. A bot-free AI notepad for meetings, lectures, and 1:1s — built on a Notion-grade collaborative editor, with everything you need to capture a conversation and ship the outcome.

    • Bot-free local recording on macOS, Windows, and Linux (beta): no meeting bot, no participant added to your call.
    • Speaker-separated live transcription (Me vs Other).
    • AI summaries next to the transcript and the kept recording, and reusable Lenses for sales, design review, standup, customer interview.
    • Real-time collaborative editor (Tiptap), with five-level permissions, SSO (on request), and an append-only audit log on team plans.
    • Calendar sync (Google + Microsoft), RAG chat across notes, and push to Slack, Linear, and Notion when you want.
