  "description": "Conversation memory for AI: record, transcribe, search, and query every meeting and voice memo locally. Minutes 0.14.1 fixes v0.14.0 regressions in call-end auto-stop countdown handling and 1:1 source-aware diarization while keeping the 0.14 desktop context, video-review, live transcription, and self-healing MCP extension improvements.",
  "long_description": "Minutes is an open-source meeting corpus you own. Record, transcribe, search, and query every meeting and voice memo on your own disk. No cloud, no vendor to outlive. Output is structured markdown in `~/meetings/` that Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi, and any MCP-compatible client read from the same folder, without a proprietary SDK or API key. Ten years from now, `grep` still works on your corpus.\n\n29 tools • 7 resources • Interactive MCP App dashboard • Prompt templates\n\n**What's new in 0.14.0:**\n• **Desktop context is now a first-class MCP surface.** A new local `context.db` store captures meeting-adjacent activity (docs, terminals, browser tabs) around every recording and live session. Three new MCP tools query it: `activity_summary` for what happened in a window, `search_context` for keyword lookups, and `get_moment` for rewinding to a specific timestamp. Works without a transcript — useful even when you weren't recording.\n• **New `/minutes-video-review` workflow.** Drop a Loom, ScreenPal recording, bug repro clip, or local screen-walkthrough and Minutes produces a durable review artifact: transcript, sampled frames, metadata, and a briefable bundle any agent can read. Surfaced as a plugin skill and portable skill for Codex/Gemini/OpenCode/Pi.\n• **Apple Speech live backend is now its own config surface.** Standalone live transcription (`minutes live`) has its own backend picker, separate from the general transcription engine. Old overloaded configs migrate automatically. Current scope is explicitly standalone-live-only; see `docs/APPLE_SPEECH.md`.\n• **Cleaner fallback chain for live transcription.** Apple Speech falls back to Parakeet and then Whisper when unavailable. Parakeet itself now falls back to CPU when the GPU path is unavailable, so builds without Metal/CUDA still work end-to-end.\n• **Hybrid source-aware diarization for call capture.** When dual-source stems are available (mic + system audio), diarization now keeps your local voice ownership stable and refines remote speakers from the system stem. Chunks are aligned by index, not wall-clock, so long calls stay coherent.\n• **Device-name canonicalization.** Decorated picker labels persisted from older versions (`\"MacBook Pro Microphone (Built-in)\"`, etc.) now resolve to the real CoreAudio device so your saved recording device keeps working after upgrades.\n• **Calendar is safer and more honest.** `[calendar] enabled=false` is now respected throughout. The background calendar poller no longer auto-launches Calendar.app. The `calendar-events` helper is correctly bundled into release `.app` builds on macOS.\n• **Native call capture can bypass the loopback preflight** when the desktop path is available, so ScreenCaptureKit-based setups don't need loopback installed to record system audio.\n• **Windows and Linux desktop-context collectors.** Shared implementation lands alongside the existing macOS path. Platform-gated cleanly so cross-compile stays green.\n• **Self-healing Claude Desktop extension.** The hosted `.mcpb` no longer breaks when our CLI version advances. Same-major skew (e.g. MCP 0.13.3 against CLI 0.14.0) is silent-compatible, auto-install fetches the latest CLI via GitHub's `releases/latest/download/` redirect instead of a pinned tag, and a new `minutes capabilities --json` feature probe lets the MCP server hide tools whose backing CLI subcommand is missing rather than exposing them and surfacing runtime errors (issue #183 Phases 1 and 2).\n• **Build reliability.** Auto-recovers from stale `ort-sys` clang_rt paths after Xcode upgrades (the recurring `library not found` after macOS major updates). CLI and app feature flags stay in sync.\n\n**Agent surface polish:**\n• `llms.txt` enumerates the full skill catalog with CI enforcement.\n• Plugin tree now emits per-skill `scripts/` and `references/` assets for Claude host's `copy` asset policy.\n• Generated agent docs (`.agents/skills/`, `.opencode/skills/`, `.opencode/commands/`) stay in lockstep via a compiler check.\n• Surface audits guard against silent skill/hook/pack drift.\n\n**Setup:** `npx minutes-mcp` gets you search, browsing, and the dashboard right away. For recording and transcription, Minutes can auto-install the CLI on first use, or you can install it yourself with `brew install silverstein/tap/minutes` or `cargo install minutes-cli`, then run `minutes setup --model tiny`, `minutes setup --parakeet`, or `minutes setup --demo`. Want to preview the full experience without recording? Run `minutes setup --demo`.\n\n**What Minutes already gives you:**\n• Filesystem-as-API: meetings land as YAML-frontmatter markdown in `~/meetings/`. Every agent reads the same source of truth. No vendor lock-in.\n• Start/stop live meeting recordings\n• Process audio files (WAV, M4A, MP3, OGG), Looms, and ScreenPal recordings\n• Local transcription with Whisper or Parakeet. Nothing leaves your machine.\n• Speaker diarization, native, no Python required\n• Dictation mode for clipboard and daily notes\n• Live transcript reads for mid-meeting AI coaching\n• Desktop-context rewind and activity summaries around recordings and live sessions\n• Full-text search across every meeting and memo\n• Decisions, commitments, questions, and relationship context across meetings\n• An interactive MCP App dashboard inside Claude conversations\n\n**Privacy:** all audio processing happens locally via whisper.cpp or parakeet.cpp plus pyannote-rs. No audio or transcripts are sent anywhere.",
